After hearing the drastic news from the doctor, Amy heaved a heavy sigh and locked her fingers together.
” It’s fine, doctor. I un-derstand what you mean and I’m ready to take any risk.” She said.
Xan shaked his head in disapproval and held the doctor’s shoulder turning to face him.
” Doctor. There must be another way out of this, please. Why does it have to be my wife and kids all the time. Why can’t i take part in this?” He asked.
The doctor chuckled and went to have his seat at his table and Xan stood still, watching him from his angle.
” There’s no second explanation to this, Mr xan. I’ve done my job as a doc to save her but nothing is working. She has a wo-mb defect, not just an ordinary one. You should un-derstand that she’s not capable of bearing you kids” He said.
Xan crea-sed his brows as he swallowed down nothing.
” Oh. Now you tell me she’s not capable of bearing me kids. Few month ago, you said she can’t get pregnant. What exactly are you pointing at?”
” Are you trying to say I’m making up fake excuses for your wife?” The doctor yelled.
” First time you said, she lost too much blood and won’t survive it. She survived and then you said she can’t get pregnant. Then she had a baby and, you said the baby won’t survive. Now, you tell me my wife or kids need to die in the process. Whose shit are you trying to mess with?” He trotted.
” Leave this hospital if this is what you came here to do, young man.” The doctor said.
” Look. I’m sick and tired of all this. You’d better go back to medicine school and revise your brain before it’s too late for you.” He said and pulled Amy down to her feet and bu-ttoned up her shirt.
” Fake doctor’s everywhere. Can’t believe i made him reveal her skin just for him to stare and salivate.” He mumbled and picked her bag, striding out of his office.
He got to his car and they both got into it quickly, driving out of the hospital yard.
He hadn’t gotten halfway on the road when he stopped to ignite his car at a corner.
” Shit!” He mumbled, raking his fingers into his hair in frustration.
Amy peeked at him and saw that dangerous look on his face again. She couldn’t stand it but look away.
” I can’t believe we’ve been going to the wrong place all along. Everytime we visit the hospital, we tend to return home with sad news.” He said and breath a sigh.
” Does that mean the doctor has been wrong about me?” She asked, making a blink.
” Who knows.” He said and curled his li-p into his mouth. ” I guess we should try other doctors the next time we visit the hospital and see the result.”
” Yes. I..i..think that’s the best thing to do.” Amy said.
” I believe we are going to come out of this trauma soon. I…i…can’t carry my child for nine good month and then, i don’t get to see the sweet..sweet babies i’ve been dying my whole life to have.” She said.
Xan smiled a little and looked at her while cu-pping her full cheeks.
” Let’s pretend like we never heard this news from that doctor and enjoy the rest of the month we get to keep this babies, okay?” He asked and she nodded with a sweet smile.
He leaned down to kis-s her forehead before looking down at her beautiful face. Her cheeks hadn’t stop flattering pink around him.
She was still damn shy around her own husband and that was absolutely very cute.
Xan picked up his keys and started up his personal car.
” Where do you think we should go today, sweetie?”
” Like a recreational place?” She asked.
” Yeah. I want us to have some good moment together and stay aside from any worries.” He said. Amy danced her body slowly as she thought 0f an option.
” Well, To the movies!.” She screamed bubbling with so much excitement.
” Movies are great.” Xan said.
At the movies,,
Xan bought a ticket to watch one of the trending movies at that time.
Amy looked throu-ghthe gla-ss and turned to stare at him with wide eyes.
” Titanic?” She asked, looking at him.
” Yeah of course, i wanted something different, something like acient romance.” He said and picked her hand as he led her into the cinema quickly.
They took the last seat in the roll and wore their conjoined leather jacket, crunching on popcorn and chips.
The light in the theatre shut down immediately and the large Tv screen popped out magnificent colors that filled the face of the viewers.
Amy fed Xan all throu-ghthe movie and at the end of the show, she found tears trickling down her eyes.
” That was such a great movie. So romantic yet sad.” She said, ru-b-bing her tears.
” You are such a crybaby, wife. I can’t believe you also cry to stuff that never really happened.”
” Well, take it that way. That’s the type of girl you married.” She said, covering her face with her palm shyly.

SUNDAY MORNING.
It was another new month to start with. A beautiful morning at the lewis mansion.
Xan and vixen were standing at the last feet of the stairs with their wife at the top watching them.
” Okay. We’ll count from one to three and then you both walk down the stairs to meet us. First winner get a chocolate bar, okay?” Xan asked.
” I got this!” Katrina said, tugging out her tongue skillfully.
” I don’t get this!” Amy said, trembling at her little feet already.
” Sweetie, just walk down the stairs like you normally do. I’m sure you can do this.” Xan told her.
” But I don’t know why it seems the stairs had suddenly turned longer.” She complained.
” Don’t worry. Just focus on each step, baby!”
” Counting girls. One…Get ready…Go!” Vixen blew the whistle and the pregnant wives began to step down the stairs with ease.
Vixen and xan bit their li-ps to avoid laughing loud, seeing how potty their stomach was especially for katrina who was a month older than Amy.
” Yes, katrina. Win this for daddy!” Vixen said as soon as katrina struggled to surpa-ss Amy in her steps.
” Amy. You’re trying but increase your speed.” Xan yelled.
” I’m trying. I’m trying!” Amy yelled, scared that she might fall.
Katrina stopped to catch her breath and Amy took the opportunity to walk past her instantly.
” Yes, Amy. You can do this. Come on baby! Yeah!!” xan yelled excitedly as he stretched out his arm for a hug when Amy got closer.
” Gosh, kate. Resting at the peek of the game?” Vixen dwindled, falling his hands in disappointment.
” Seven month pregnancy is not a joke so shut your trap widow!.” She yelled.
Katrina got back more energy and this time she was quite fas-ter. Amy looked back behind her, feeling frustrated.
” Oh geez. She’s coming, Xan.” she said.
” Don’t look back. Seven more steps left. fas-ter!” Xan said, bi-ting his li-p in anxiousness.
Amy wanted to sli-p but Katrina caught her wrist immediately. They both held eachother as they climbed down the stairs.
The two ladies appeared to be in the same lane, matching at each step and they finished in a draw.
They finally jumped and hug-ged their husband the in process.
Xan took Amy up to rest on the sofa as they all laughed.
” It was a draw.” Xan said, sitting down with a sigh.
” I’m sure katrina would have won if she didn’t have to rest.” Vixen said glaring at kate.
Kate turned to him and sque-ezed the chocolate bar wrapper into his li-p. He coughed and threw it out immediately.
They sat around the dinning table and vixen placed the weight scale on the floor.
” Okay. Time to find out who’s wife had been sneaking out at night to eat.” He said and everyone laughed out.
Katrina left her chair and stood on the weight scale, holding her wai-st.
” Oh geez.” She mouthed.
” Omg!. 105kg!” Vixen covered his mouth, laughing hard.
Amy came out as well and stood on the scaler as well, folding her arms.
” Holy Goat!. 120kg!” Vixen yelled, falling back on his seat and Amy bit her li-ps sadly.
” We’ve seen the wife who sneaks out of bed to eat at night.” Katrina laughs as well.
” No. That’s not true!” Amy yelled. Xan stood up and held his wife’s wai-st from behind.
” Hey. Hey. No one should make my wife feel biased. She’s carrying more babies so what do you expect” Xan said proudly.
” WOOoh!!” Kate and vixen clapped as they woohed them.
” But frankly aside the babies, Amy has more weight and size than me” Katrina said.
” Yeah. I love her that way, peeps” Xan said and kis-sed Amy cheeks cutely. She blus-hed hugely and quickly stepped down.
” Hey. Does everyone knows that next month is December and we should be preparing for Christmas.” Vixen asked.
Everyone picked up their phones to check the calender.
” Oh yeah. Yeah.” Amy said.
” This year ran so fast. I can still vividly remember last three weeks ago.” Katrina said.
” We would be expecting Amy’s kid at February and Katie’s kid at January, simple logic.” Vixen said, twirling the fork in his hands.
Mrs qin came down and they all greeted her respectively before they started to eat breakfast.
…..
AT THE POLICE PENT
Xan and Amy visited the police pent as usual to see mrs lewis.
This was her third month in jail and she had few more months left for her.
The police got her gate opened and she stepped out tired and lazy to meet her son.
” Mother” Xan said catching her as she fell on Xan’s arm.
She rested her head on his shirt as she wept continously, just as usual whenever they came for their visit.
Xan ru-bbed her back gently while swooping some breeze on her forehead.
” I wish i had a way to get you out of here soon but the police are strict about their bailing sessions.” He said.
” You don’t have to. It’s all my fault am here. It’s my fault i have to suffer like a prisoner. I deserve to die instead.” She said, sobbing on his shirt.
Xan simply patted her as she made horrible words about herself.
” I’m a witch. Why would i ever try to hurt my own son after all you did for me. I was blinded and now, my eyes are open.”
She stood up and turned to Amy who was always hiding behind her husband as usual.
” Amy.” She called and Amy found herself grabbing hold of her husband, resting her cheeks on his arm.
She still had that fear for mrs lewis and never still trusted her.
” You…you’re heavily pregnant?.” She asked, trying to touch her stomach.
Amy shifted to a side to avoid making skin contact with her and her precious baby.
” Yes i am.” She replied, bi-ting her lower li-p.
” This is great news!. Xan why didn’t you tell me last time you came. I knew i had suspected her body movements.” She said.
” He doesn’t need to tell someone like you.” Amy mumbled stubbornly and xan looked down at her.
Mrs lewis sat down on the close bench as she used her rags cloth to clean her eyes.
Xan nudged Amy to go over and Amy shaked her heads, pouting up her li-ps sadly.
” Go meet her now ” Xan told her fiercely. She sighed having no choice.
Her fingers curled on her cloth as she approached her seat. She sat down and watched mrs lewis cry for a while before making a slight move.
” Um..m..Mother. I..i…” Before Amy could finish, mrs lewis grabbed her for a ti-ght hug.
She wept on her daughter’s shoulder until Amy began to ru-b her backs.
” It’s okay, mother. You don’t have to cry like this.”
” No. No. I can’t stop. This is just so unbearable for me. I referred you as barren and i deserve to be treated badly for saying that to you”
The female police came out and tacked her watch.
” Two minute more.” She said and walked away.
Mrs lewis quickly grabbed Amy cheeks.
” Please take care of this baby. This baby is a real joy for you and your husband. I also pray i get to see you have this baby but fate might have it way on me soon”
” No. Don’t say that, mother. Fate will let you see your grandkid and you’ll love and cherish them too” Amy said and rested her head on her shoulder.
” I don’t think so.” Mrs lewis whispered.
The police came and took her up. Amy stood up and hug-ged xan as she watched the poor old lady being pushed away.
Mrs lewis leg wobbled and soon, she was down on the floor instantly.
