Who Is Pregnant With My Child?
The arrival of John

"Come on, you all stop fighting." Say to them all.

They all looked silent and looked at me. After a while, they all returned to play.

"Who is this?" I called that.

"It's me John. How are you?"

" John?" I said so surprised.

"Yes..." The reply.

"Mmm okay! Where's Olivia?" My toot.

"Mmmm.... I'm not sure. I went home and he's not here. But his phone was left at home. I didn't hear from you. So I thought that I wanted to know how you were doing. Are you okay or not? And can I come by later to your house?" He said without hesitation.

"Yes." Yeah." My reply was brief with a feeling that was still so shocked.

I hung up and looked at the Moon, Diamonds and Stars. I don't know why I suddenly felt hurt after listening to John's voice. The man never even called me when I wanted him to know that I had given birth or when I had my children or even for the past year or so.

"All right, we'll see. Let him come here." My speech.

There's a little part of me that feels happy because I'm going to see him. I realized I was in love with him. That's why when he didn't hear anything made me feel so hurt.

...****************...

Moments later, after I finished bathing my twins, there was a knock on the door. I pegged and had not yet lowered the Star from within my sling.

The star tried to strongly remind me that I was still holding her. I lowered her down to stand up and then walked towards the door where her two sisters were also standing staring at the door.

"Ma... Ma's... Icu.... Icu..." Say them all at the same time.

I laughed seeing how adorable they were all like little birds chirping. I smiled as I reached for the door, preparing myself to see John. I opened the door and stared at John who was standing at the door. He still looks as handsome as he used to be.

"Mamm.... Mamma...." Diamond Saying.

I looked down and the twins stood behind my feet. They were all holding my feet.

"Wm.woww... You gave birth to the three of them?" John said that brought my attention back to him.

"Mmmmm yeah." My reply. "Come in and I'll introduce you to all of them." I said while trying to get them all off my feet.

My three twins ran to get their favorite toys. I sat down on a sofa near them and a little far from where John was sitting. He saw me and my three twins who were now busy playing.

"They grew up very quickly." Said John.

But I didn't say anything. After that we were silent and only the voices of the children were heard. Moon started to stop playing with her teddy bear and suddenly she looked at John.

The moon stood up and walked towards where John was sitting, then he dropped his teddy bear on John's leg and then dropped himself next to the doll. The moon just sat there staring at John in silence. While John looked at me nervously and I felt a little comforted by his gaze.

John, a 23-year-old college student, looked scared of a 1-year-old baby girl. I wanted to laugh, but when it all started to feel weird I looked towards the Moon.

"Precious moon.... Get up and stay away from John. You scared him, baby." Speak to me in a very slow voice.

But I knew that Moon heard my words because she pulled her teddy bear and went back to playing with her twin brothers.

I looked at John and asked him what he was doing here.

"Mmm actually I feel that you must have given birth to that baby a long time ago and now I want to meet them and see how you are doing. But I know that I'm not like that." John looked at me.

"Everything would have felt so much better if you had come that time. Oh I don't know why you couldn't come when you got the news when I gave birth to it. Actually, I wouldn't have any problem if you could still congratulate me via a short message or whatever if you were really busy. But you weren't there at all at that time John and it was a little disappointing for me." I said with a trembling voice.

I stood up and walked towards the kitchen. I don't want to make the kids see me angry. As I thought, John seemed to be following me. All feelings of guilt and confusion were clearly visible on his face.

"I'll definitely come and stay here a few days if I find out the news of you giving birth to it." John said in an angry voice.

The look in his eyes was clearly filled with anger.

"You're on the list of people I made to get word about me giving birth to John. You're also a man who's grown up enough. Olivia called you a million times for me. But you never came. I waited and waited and even waited for you but you never came." My yelling.

"Be quiet, Adel!" John yelled at me. "I didn't get a single phone call or message on my phone or a message sent by bird or wind. Or whatever it is that you think you sent it. I want to be here with you, and I told you that before I go." Said John.

"But Olivia called you. And I heard right from her phone where she called you constantly while I was in the hospital room and hoped a hundred times that you would come to see me or at least apologize for being the greatest liar in the world." I said so upset.

I seemed to express all my annoyance to John who had greatly disappointed me with his attitude.

John kept looking at me. I felt butterflies flying in my stomach where I had never felt that feeling since the last time I saw it.

Suddenly he walked away from me. It was obvious that he had thought of something.

Seriate.....
