#OMNISCIENT_POV
News of Angelinaās pregnancy had reached to the ears of their family and friends, All of them are excited for her fortune but there are two individuals who arenāt nearly as excited as the others about this news, and these individuals are none other than the architects of the pregnancy themselves, Peter and Angelina.
Itās not that they donāt want to have kids together, itās just that theyāre not re-ady to start a family yet.
Here in the House of Peterās parents, Peter sits down gloomily thinking about the fruit of his labour which is about to be harvested in 9 months time, While he was busy brooding over the matter, His mother notices his expression and asks whatās happening.
.
Jessica ā” Peter.. Are you alright?
.
Peter ā” No mom.. Iām worried about the pregnancy.
.
Jessica ā” Donāt worry, Angelina will be fine. Sheās a strong woman, not a weakling like you.š
.
Peter ā” š Mom.. If this is a joke.. Itās not funny.
.
Jessica ā” Okay.. Whatās wrong? Why are you worried about the pregnancy?
.
Peter ā” Itās just.. Iām not re-ady to become a father.. There are some things that I want to do at this stage of my life.
.
Jessica
ā” Is that all? š
.
Peter ā” Yes.. I donāt know what to do.
.
Jessica ā” Well.. Iāll tell you what to do but first of allā¦ Youāre very stupid for saying that.
.
Peter
ā” Mom! Whatās this?
.
Jessica ā” (mimicking peter) *Iām not re-ady to a father *ā¦ Did you just really say that? I should have sl@pped you. Nons-en-se.
.
Peter ā” But mom..
.
Jessica ā” SHUT UP! Donāt even dare say that in front of Angelinaās father.. Heāll snap you in half. Tell me, if you didnāt want to be a father, why didnāt you wear a CD when you were f-cking the lovely girl?
.

Peter ā” Mom.. You donāt have to go that far.
.
Jessica ā” Youād better take responsibility.
.
Peter ā” MOM! I didnāt deny the pregnancy and Iām happy that Iām going to have a child with the love of my life.. Itās just that Iām not re-ady to raise a family yet.
.
Jessica ā” Oh plea-se.. Shut up.. Thereās no turning back from this now and drop this talk about not being re-ady to become a father.. As far as Iām concerned youāre re-ady and fully responsibleā¦ You have a house of your own, no rent, and you also have a well paying job.. What else? You were re-ady to become a father when you filled your c-m in Angelinaās w-mb. plea-se donāt come and disappointed us all because I wonāt forgive you if you ditch this girl after popping her cherry.
.
Peter ā” Iām honestly disappointed that youād think Iāll do that.. Iām not that kind of man and I will never ditch Angelina.. I love her with all my heart. The real reason why I wasnāt too excited about this pregnancy is because Angelina and I are both busy peopleā¦ I donāt want us to have issues raising our child š¶, You and dad raised me the best way you could and you both gave me attention when I nee-ded one.. Iām afraid I wonāt be able to give that same attention to my child.
.
Feeling tĀ©uƧhed by her sonās words, Jessica sits down next to Peter, holding his hand, She pats his back gently giving him an advice and words of encouragement.
.
Jessica
ā” Look.. Iāve been there with your father and itās not easy but you canāt change what has alre-ady been done. Your girlfriend is pregnant and youāre soon going to be a father whether you like it or not.. The fairest thing you can do to your child is be the parent he/she deserves and for that to work, youāll have to make some sacrifices.
.
Peter ā” Sacrifices?
.
Jessica ā” Yes.. We make sacrifices for the ones we love right!?ā¦ Back before I met your father, I owned a booming club!
.
Peter ā” You ran a club back in the day??
.
Jessica ā” Yes and it was very successful one too.. It was also where I met your father, he c@mĀ£ with his friends to celebr@te his promotion.
.
Peter ā” How did you guys meet!?
.
Jessica ā” Well, we met at the parking garage.. I was about to go home when your father approached me. He wasnāt really a smooth talker.. He was a shy person like you.. He wanted to tell me how beautiful I was but the words couldnāt come out. So I did want any lady would do. I rejected him politely.
.
Peter ā” That was cruel! š
.
Jessica ā” No.. That was a feminine strategy. If you want a man to keep chasing after you.. Pl@yha-rd to get. And it worked.. It always works.
.
Peter ā” Well, pla-ying ha-rd to get doesnāt work anymore in this era.. Any chick that pla-ys ha-rd to get.. Sheās going to be the loser in the end. Men becoming extinct. (Laughs)
.
Jessica ā” As I was saying.. I rejected him and went home, he c@mĀ£ back to the club the next day and he tried his luck, I rejected him again, and again and again and again. Until I finally granted him access.
.
Peter ā” Why did you do that? Why give him your attention on the last minute?
.
Jessica ā” Well the answer is simpleā¦ His love for me was genuine.. If he could keep coming back to me after being rejected so many times.. Heās definitely a man worth being with.
.
Peter ā” So what happened after you guys met?
.
Jessica ā” We made love.
.
Peter ā” JESUS!ā¦ and what happened after that?
.
Jessica ā” We got married 3 months later.. I was pregnant with you at the time.
.
Peter ā” So? What happened? Where was your club?
.
Jessica ā” I sold it.
.
Peter ā” Why?
.
Jessica ā” Because I was married to your father.. You see once youāre marriedā¦ Everything changes.. You enter a stage in life thatās very complicated. There was no way I could run a club while I have a family to attend to.. Plus, I was no longer a single lady anymore. I miss my old life but nothing lasts forever.
.
Peter ā” The sacrifices you made, was it worth it?
.
Jessica ā” Of course.. Things may not be what they use to be when I was going but I donāt have any regrets. Having your father as my husband and you as my son is the best thing I could ever possibly have, after all this is all what women dream of, a happy family.
Donāt worry yourself son, Just try your best and be the best parent for you child.. One of the reasons why I love your father is that he always gives me the attention I want, no matter how busy he is, he always finds a way to spend a quality time with you and me. Heās always there when heās nee-ded. I want you to do that for your child. Just pray and think positively, everything will be alright.. Donāt count your chicks before they hatch.
.
Peter ā” Thanks for the advice mom!
.
Jessica ā” Youāre welcome my son.
.
Just as Peter is talking with his mom in their house, Angelina is having the same conversation with her mother Alice.
.
Angelina ā” Mom.. I really donāt want to be a parent at this age!
.
Alice ā” Really? If you didnāt want that to happen, you should have told Peter to wear a CD or better yet, denied him the access between your legs.. Whatās done is done.
.
Angelina ā” Mom.. Iām serious.
.
Alice ā” See me see wahala. Tell me, why donāt you want to be a parent? Tell me.
.
Angelina ā” Itās not that I donāt want to be a parent.. Itās just that Iām not re-ady yet.. Peter and I are both busy adults.. If this child comes into this world I doubt weāll have time to raise him or her and I donāt want that.
.
Alice ā” Busy adults? Tell me.. Whatās your purpose in life?.. Money? Fame? Glamour? Which one?
.
Angelina ā” I just want to be happy.. Thatās what every wants right.
.
Alice ā” Yes but thatās not the answer! The answers are two:
First, the purpose of life is to be grateful to God in whatever situation youāre in.. That is why many people are suffering, almost everyone in this world is not grateful.. Everyone want the easy life , they want enjoyment.. Who do they think they are? The only enjoyment you get is in paradise but this world is a prison. And the only way out of it is to be grateful for what you have or the situation youāre in, God tests us to see if we can cope and be patient but unfortunately most people donāt pas-s that test.
.
Angelina ā” (sighs) Mom.. Just get to the point.
.
Alice ā” What Iām saying is that you shouldnāt complain about the situation youāre in.. You got yourself into this and this is outcome. Most women are having a difficult time having kids and God gives you one and youāre complaining!
.
Angelina ā” But Iām not re-ady.. Itās too soon. I have plans.
.
Alice ā” Thatās life for you my daughterā¦ Nothing goes as we plan.. We humans tend to think that we have our fates in the palm of our hands.. Itās not true.
Look.. I know youāre not expecting this but just roll with it.. Thereās nothing you can do to change that, and as far as Iām concerned youāre a responsible lady and so is Peter, Both of you have the means to start a family together.
.
Angelina ā” But what if I fail as a mother? What it I donāt give the attention you and dad gave me?
.
Alice ā” (sighs) Look! Nothing lasts forever.. Everything has itās due d@tĀ£.. Your child is on the way and youāll have to make some sacrifices if you truly love this child.
.
Angelina ā” What about Peter?
.
Alice ā” Iām sure heāll be cool with it.. Youāre the mother of his child after all, he wonāt leave you hanging, Iām sure heāll support you. Considering your relationsh!pwith him Iām sure we both find a way for this to work.
.
Angelina ā” I hope so mom.
.
Alice ā” Donāt worryā¦ I donāt see why youāre worrying yourself. Everything will be alright.. Just pray and think positively.
.
Angelina ā” Thanks mom.. For the words of encouragement.. I really nee-ded that.
.
After meeting and talking things out with their parents, Angelina and Peter meet later in the day in their own personal house to discussion further more on the matter.
Here inside their living room, Peter and Angelina sit together on a couch without saying anything to each other, Both of them look sideways waiting for the other to stir up a conversation. After a while, Peter makes a move putting his hands on Angelinaās th!gh.
.
Peter ā” Hey.. Howās your day?
.
Angelina ā” It was great.. You?
.
Peter ā” Same!
.
Angelina ā” Oh.. Thatās nice.
.
Peter ā” Babe.. I want to talk to you about something!
.
Angelina ā” Is it about the pregnancy!?
.
Peter ā” Yes..
.
Angelina ā” You donāt want it?
.
Peter ā” WHAT? Of course I do..
.
Angelina ā” But..
.
Peter ā” But.. I donāt think Iām re-ady.
.
Angelina ā” Me too.. There are things I want to do first.
.
Peter ā” Me too. There are some things I want to accomplish in my life.
.
Angelina ā” Not to mention weāre both quite busy.
.
Peter ā” Yeah.. We both canāt raise a child while weāre both working .
.
Angelina ā” So what do we do?
.
Peter ā” Well, I suggest we roll with it.
.
Angelina ā” Huh? Roll with it?
.
Peter ā” Yes.. We have a baby on the way, we have to make preparations to welcome it to this world.
.
Angelina ā” But what about about personal life?
.
Peter ā” Well, itās not personal now, we have an intruder coming, besides thereās nothing more important than our child.
.
Angelina suddenly starts laughing and so does Peter, they laugh for a while and then stĀ©p staring at each other.
.
Angelina ā” Do you think weāre re-ady for this? Becoming parents?
.
Peter ā” Iām not sure but we can try.. Iām pretty sure weāll do just fine. Our parents did theirs, Iām sure we can do ours.
.
Angelina ā” I love you, Peter.. For a moment, I was worried.
.
Peter ā” I love you too.
.
After that, Both or them share a pas-sionate k!ss, Peter slowly pushes Angelina on the couch mounting on tĀ©p of her as they k!ss.. Gradually, Peterās hands began to reach down Angelinaās th!ghs, he ru-bs it softly and slowly ma-king her m0an s-en-sually, Before long his hands soon reach upward gr-abbing hold of Angelinaās bre-sts, he squee-zes them softly and then finally pinches her n-pples, Angelina squeals out loud excitedly as she puts her hands on Peterās che-st.
.
Angelina ā” Oh my God! Youāre killing me.
.
Peter ā” Sorry.. Did it hurt?
.
Angelina ā” No.. plea-se donāt tell me youāre not doing what Iām thinking?
.
Peter ā” I want to make love to you! Itās been a while since we did that..
.
Angelina ā” A while? We did it last week, remember?
.
Peter ā” Last week still feels like a month.
.
Angelina ā” Speaking of monthsā¦ Our anniversary is coming up..
.
Peter ā” What anniversary?
.
Angelina ā” šššš
.
Peter ā” Oh.. You mean our anniversary of the day we first met. Donāt worry.. I know about it..
.
Angelina ā” I hope so.
.
Peter ā” Come on.. Iām serious.. Besides Iāve alre-ady decided to take you somewhere else to go for the anniversary.
.
Angelina ā” Really? I canāt wait.
.
Peter ā” Me too.. Also Iām planning something very special for you.
.
Angelina ā” Hmm, well Iām also going to surprise you with a gift of my own as well.
.
Peter ā” Mine will outshine yours..
.
Angelina ā” Donāt be so sure, lover.
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
Couple of days just before the anniversary d@tĀ£ with Peter, Angelina sits in her house with her cousin, Charlene discussing about her anniversary d@tĀ£ with Peter. Both ladies speculate on what Peterās special gift might be and they also talk about which gift to give Peter.
.
Angelina ā” Peter says heās going to surprise me with something special.. I wonder what it might be?
.
Charlene ā” Hmm, Maybe itās something very expensive like a trip to a special resort just for the two of you, or maybe heāll surprise you with an expensive gift.
.
Angelina ā” Yeah.. I just canāt stĀ©p thinking about it.
.
Charlene ā” So what about you? What are you going to give him?
.
Angelina ā” I really donāt know.. I want to give him something really special and rare but I donāt know what.
.
Charlene ā” Doesnāt he like fancy stuff? Like watches, custom made clothes?
.
Angelina ā” No.. Peter doesnāt dig those kind of stuff.
.
Charlene ā” Hmm.. I think I might know the perfect gift for you to give him.. Come here let me whisper it in your ear.
.
Angelina ā” Okay.. What is it?
.
Charlene ā” (whispering) #Ā£%%Ā„Ā®Ā®
.
Angelina ā” WHAT?? š¦ NO WAY!!
.
Charlene ā” Come on it will be fun.. You both will really enjoy it.
.
Angelina ā” I donāt knowā¦ What if he doesnāt like it?
.
Charlene ā” Are you kidding? Thereās no man that can turn down a gift like this.. Especially when its free.
.
Angelina ā” Hmmm š¤.
.
Charlene ā” Trust me, it will be great.. Just let me know when youāre going on your d@tĀ£ and Iāll plan everything. He doesnāt have to know, you just have to surprise him.
.
Angelina ā” I canāt believe Iām about to agree to this but okayā¦ But I sure hope youāre right! I hope there is no dirty scheme behind your idea.
.
Charlene ā” Oh plea-se.. Donāt worry.. After all, He loves you, doesnāt he?
.
Angelina ā” Okay then.. Fine.
.
Charlene ā” Goodā¦ So howās the baby? š
.
Angelina ā” Donāt get ahead of yourself.. I have no baby bu-mp yet. I just found out last week.
.
Charlene ā” So what did Peter say?
.
Angelina ā” Heās cool with it. Heās taking responsibility.
.
Charlene ā” Heād better else.. Itās back to square one from where we started.
.
Angelina ā” plea-se donāt torment my man. Heās not the kind of person to neglect his responsibility.
.
Charlene ā” Well.. Iām happy for you both.. But youāre going to work ha-rd if you want to maintain this foxy bĀ©dy of yours. Cause being pregnant really su-cks.
.
Angelina ā” Tell me about it.. I really donāt want to be fat and stuck with a pot belly after birth.. Any ti-ps of maintaining my form?
.
Charlene ā” Yes.. Have lots of rest and exercise a lot, not just simple exercises. But donāt go too far. And also practice yoga if necessary.. Eat healthy foods that will be good for you and the child and Keep away from the sweets and sugarish stuff. Theyāll damage your bĀ©dy.
.
Angelina ā” Anything else?
.
Charlene ā” Donāt have s-x!
.
Angelina ā” Why?
.
Charlene ā” Iām not forcing you but if you want your childās nĀ£Ā¢k to bend,..
.
Angelina ā” No.. I donāt want that.
.
Charlene ā” Good.. The most important thing for you to do is, Exercise alot, eat healthy and get lots of rest.
.
Angelina ā” Thanks.
.
Charlene ā” Youāre welcome.. Can I ask you a question?
.
Angelina ā” Okay.. What is it?
.
Charlene ā” When is Peter going to propose? š
.
Angelina ā” Propose? š
.
Charlene ā” Yes.. Isnāt it high time for him to marry you cause, it wouldnāt be cool if your child is born out of wedlock.
.
Angelina ā” (sighs) I know.. But Iām sure heāll think of it.
.
Charlene ā” I hope so..
.
In that moment as they rounded up their conversation, Angelinaās phone rang, She picked up her phone and checked who the caller was, she was surprised to see It was Bianca.
.
Angelina ā” Unbelievable.
.
Charlene ā” What?
.
Angelina ā” Bianca is calling me.
.
Charlene ā” For real?
.
Angelina ā” Yeah.. Let me answer it.
.
Charlene ā” Wait! hold on..
.
Before Charlene could stĀ©p her, Angelina answers the call to see the reason behind her surprising call.
.
Angelina ā” Hello Bianca!
.
Bianca ā” Hello Angelina.. Itās been a while.
.
Angelina ā” Yes it is. So whatās up?
.
Bianca ā” Well.. I heard from Francis that youāre pregnant so I called to congratulate you.
.
Angelina ā” Thanks. Iām sorry things didnāt work out between you and Peter.
.
Bianca ā” Itās okay.. We were never meant to be anyways.. Youāre one lucky lady, to have a man that loves you so much and dearly.. I wish I was as fortunate as you.
.
Angelina ā” Yeah.. Iām sure youāll find your Mr. Right.
.
Bianca ā” Yeah.. I hope so.. Anyways, Congratulations and see you around.
.
Angelina ā” You too. Bye.
.
After that, Bianca ends the calls, Angelina drops her phone and smiles as she stretches herself on the couch. Curious to know what Bianca said, Charlene asks her cousin.
.
Charlene ā” What did the lout say?
.
Angelina ā” Donāt call her that.. She just congratulated me. Nothing else.
.
Charlene ā” I hope she meant it.
.
Angelina ā” Trust me.. She meant what she said.
.
Charlene ā” Hmph.. If you say so.
