MY HUSBAND AND I (Part 15)

“talk to me doctor! What’s the hurry all about!” Lara said with a frown.
“We have to hurry my dear, for your life! Your mum still needs you
around her! We have to make haste while there’s yet time” Olakija
explained.
“Omolara don’t be strong headed na! I can’t lose two things o! I can’t
lose my grand child and my only child o! Follow the doctor’s advice.”
Lara shook her head rising to her feet.
“The baby has a father, the father needs to give his full conscience,
Tony has to be here, else nothing should touch his baby!” she said in
a fierce whisper.
“young lady…your husbands presence would only worsen the
situation.” Olakija tried to hold her.
“I still demand to let Tony know! He doesn’t even know I’m in a
hospital right now!” Lara pushed him away.
“What if I died in the process? Tony would never forgive me! Besides
its against my faith to kill! I can’t kill my baby!” she turned to face
her mother.
Funke thought for a while, she exchanged some looks with the doctor.
“Okay, call your husband to come now.”
Lara looked from her mother to Olakija, somehow she felt her mother
was up to something.
“Hello pumpkin” Tony said from the other end.
“Hello baby…” her voice became shaky.
“Hello…. hello…hello? Honey are you alright?” Tony sounded worried.
“Ye…no…yes!Tonyplease…can…you come over over to Anukpo
specialist hospital now? Please…”
“Hospital? Lara are you okay? Tony said again.
“Just come, now please!” Lara ended the call.
....
“Excuse me….” Tony walked into the room
“G’afnoon Doc.” Tony shook Olakija.
“Good day ma’am” he greeted his mother inlaw.
Lara hugged him weeping profusely.
“Easy now baby…don’t cry..I’m here okay?” He whispered as he
rocked her.
“Doctor, what’s wrong? I mean..what going on?” Tony asked the
doctor.
“is it that serious? How bad is it?” he asked again after Olakija
explained the situation to him.
“The situation is worse!” Olakija sighed.
“Can’t we..I mean..don’t we have time to think about it…I have to
inform my parents..” Tony was trying his best to be strong.
“Parents ke! Were your parent there when you impregnated my
daughter? Ehn?” Funke shouted at him.
“you better allow the doctor do his work o! After all you did to my
daughter you still want her dead abi? Nothing should happen to my
daughter o”
“Hope you know your daughter is also my wife!” Tony glared at her.
“See who is talking o!” Funke clapped.
“Let them do it…I don’t want to die.” Lara said amidst tears.
“You won’t die…” Tony held her tightly.
“Errm..Doctor..I think we need time to think about this…” Tony turned
to the doctor.
“Lets go home!” he helped Lara to her feet.
“There’s no time.” Olakija protested.
“There is always time!” Tony said as he led Lara towards the door.
“Where are you taking my daughter to? Ehn?” Funke tried to stop them
“To a more reputable hospital! I won’t let some quack and ill-
experienceddoctors use my wife as a sample for experiment! Besides
the hospital itself is not fit!” he shot at her.
“Tony please…” Lara began to plead.
“Lets go.” he said holding her hand.
.....
Lara rested her head on Tony’s shoulder, she was tired from crying.
Her in-laws were both there with her; sitting on a waiting chair.
The hospital was “reputable and standard” as Tony puts it.
Amara shuffled to her feet as Doctor Myles walked in.
“Sit down please.” Myles smiled taking his seat.
Lara pursed her lips, she was fighting back tears, she could hear
Tony’s heart pondering dangerously against his chest.
“Well, it still beats my imagination..I mean..what kinda doctor would
opt for an abortion just like that?” Myles adjusted his glasses as
peered at some papers.
“ermm…so…doctor, what have found out?” Ifiora said gently.
“Yes..yes, oh yes!” Myles smiled looking up at them.
“I’m glad to inform you all that there’s nothing wrong with this
pregnancy” his smile widened.
“Did you check well? I mean…did…did You conduct the test properly?
You’re sure there isn’t a mistake?” Tony intoned.
“All is well.” myles laughed.
“Both the baby and its mother are in perfect condition.”
“Oh my God!” Amara hugged Lara affectionately
“Are very sure doctor?” Ifiora wouldn’t believe.
“Very very sure! You can go check in another hospital to confirm the
authencity.” Myles chuckled.
“Come over here, baby…” Tony whispered as he hugged Lara.
He was relieved all was well.
He shut his eyes as he savoured her hug. That witch! He thought.
He was definitely going to deal with his mother in-law. How could
she be so wicked?!
