I know that she's just doubtful and I don't know why? so I took her early morning urine to run some test at the hospital. Getting there, I saw a large hospital. The doctors have their name tag on their laboratory coat. From the tag on the shirt I called, Doctor Eze! Good morning to you!
(DOCTOR EZE)
Good morning! How may I help you?
(JERRY'S POV)
Please I would like to have a pregnancy test to be conducted on with this urine.
(DOCTOR EZE)
Yes I can, but you have to come with her for scanning. That's what we actually accept if someone is pregnant or not. And beside, you can use the Home Pregnancy Test kit (HPT) is relatively straightforward too Here's a step-by-step.
Carefully read the test kit's instructions before starting. Typically, it's best to use the first urine of the day, as hCG levels are usually highest. Dip the test strip into the urine sample or hold it in the urine stream, depending on the test type. Follow the test kit's instructions for the waiting time, usually a few minutes. Check the test results according to the kit's instructions, looking for lines. If the line is double, that indicates positive which means, that the person is pregnant. But I will do this for you. Just for now. If it turns out positive, then she needs scanning to be conducted and also for proper registration.
(JERRY'S POV)
Thank! you Doctor.
(DOCTOR EZE)
If the result is positive, I would advice. Please go for antenatal registration immediately. There's, a thorough and proper care of the mother and the unborn child that should be done.
(JERRY'S POV)
That's not a challenge at all.
(DOCTOR EZE)
That's good. Wait here for few minute. I'll be right back.
(JERRY'S POV)
Few minutes later, the doctor came with a positive result. The result shows that she is pregnant. This is good news for us and that means our blood matches well as I smiled beautifully to myself. I have to inform her and my mum right away ….so I am going to be a father now..

Getting to the apartment, she's yet to be back from work. So, I prepared the dinning table for her favourite meal. As the evening approaches, it's time to set the stage for a wonderful dinner. Preparing the dining table is an essential part of creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Firstly, I clear the table of any clutter or previous meals, and then add a touch of elegance with a tablecloth that complement the dinnerware. I arrange the plates, glasses, and utensils in their designated places. I place a simple vase with flowers, a candle, and a decorative piece that will add a warm glow to the table. I double-check that everything is in its place and the table looks inviting because, I don't want anything that will stresses her since she is having my baby. While waiting for her arrival, I quickly placed a call to my mum.
Popo..popo...popo
(JERRY'S MUM'S POV)
Yes please,..... as she picked up the call.
(JERRY'S POV)
Miguor mummy , I greeted in our dialect.
(JERRY'S MUM POV)
Vwredo. Oma vwe ko (how are you doing?)
(JERRY'S POV)
Very fine Ma. Mum...
Rosie is pregnant with my baby...
(JERRY'S MUM'S POV)
Yes.. that's my girl...
God is good, He has done me well. ... as I sang and danced in thanksgiving.
Listen carefully my son, go to her mum and to her family to request for her bride price list. Tell her that you want to get married to her daughter.
(JERRY'S POV)
While the conversation was ongoing with my mum,
I heard a knock at the door. ..rat-a-tata!
.....alright mum, there's someone knocking at the door, I will call you later. Bye...bye

Hey! Rosie as I hugged her tightly like i didn't want to let go. Do you know what!
(ROSIE'S POV)
What is it?
(JERRY'S POV)
All I just want from right now, is for you to have your bath and plus..., dinner is ready. I made your favorite.
(ROSIE'S POV)
As I sank into the warm water that Jerry prepared, I felt my muscles relaxed and my mind unwind. The warmth enveloped me, melting away the stresses of the day. The gentle heat of the water soothed my skin and calmed my nerves. The scent of bath salts and essential oils filled the air, further enhancing the relaxing experience. The quiet, peaceful atmosphere allowed me to let go of my worries. While trying to let go of my worries, the thoughts of his sudden action crept in. I know quite well that he has been preparing me dinner and this is not his first time doing it but not wanting me to even kill a fly is what I don't understand. I think I deserve to know what's happening. I quickly snapped out of my relaxing mood to grab my towel.
(JERRY'S POV)
Hey! You're out, please come let's eat as i stretch forth my hand to hold hers. I took her to the dinning room and pulled out the chair for her to sit.
(ROSIE'S POV)
Wao....this is lovely. Thanks.
(JERRY'S POV)
You're welcome always.
(ROSIE'S POV)
O...kay!
(JERRY'S POV)
I made your favourite. I have here with me fried rice made with turkey, and this bowl is made of fruit salad with mayonnaise, this is a soft drink as well. s
(ROSIE'S POV)
Wao..these looks yummy. Thanks alot!
(JERRY'S POV)
Don't mention!
So let's eat... as i say the prayers.
Dear heavenly father, we give you thanks for blessing us bountifully, bless those in need as you have blessed us through Jesus Christ our lord. Amen! We said in unison.
After saying the prayers …. Rosie broke the silence..
(ROSIE'S POV)
what's happening Jerry!? Is there something you are not saying ?
(JERRY'S POV)
Ooo..h Yes!
I brought out the ring. I hope it's her ring finger size as I thought silently. I helld the ring uprightly, and i knelt down to propose officially. " Will you marry me" Rosie!
(ROSIE'S POV)
Ahhhhhh… I screamed on top of my voice in surprise with my two palms on my cheek.
Yes! Yes! ….of course Yes!
I will marry you.
(JERRY'S POV)
She hugged me so lovingly that I wouldn't let go while I gave her a soft kiss. I knew you were the one for me Rosie! From the day I met you in that classroom. My instinct never lies to me. Wait a minute...that's not all Rosie!
(ROSIE'S POV)
O.....k..a. y!
(JERRY'S POV)

(ROSIE'S POV)
Oh! ...my God. I'm pregnant?
(JERRY'S POV)
Yes you are. This baby will be the first grandchild of my mother and our wedding will be the first in my entire family, also being the first graduate of my house. We are blessed already with that, I don't want you to live like before but first, let's have our dinner! before the food gets cold.
