No Room For Love Episode 12
‘Oh grams, you startled us.’
‘Come here my dear.’
‘How are you here now?’ Kate asked.
‘When my only daughter calls, I had to rush here.’
‘I miss you so much.’ Kate announced and saw her mom trying so hard to either stand up or sit down.
Finally, Catherine stood up, “Good day mummy.”
“How was your trip? Let me help you,” she made to take her luggage but her mother in law declined. Kate just faked a smile.
‘Grams let mom help you, so you can rest.’ Kate took her bag and gave it to her mom. Which she rushed towards the guest room, to the detest of her grams.Her Grams settled for a while and Kate just had so much to talk to her about especially why she doesn’t visit anymore. They were
Her Grams settled for a while and Kate just had so much to talk to her about especially why she doesn’t visit anymore. They were talking until dinner was ready. At dinner Kate realized the whole table was quiet and her Grams was staring at her.
She could not fathom why until she finally decided to talk to her grams about what was going on with her dad whiles they sat on her oversized bed. Then her grams blurted out something which at first Kate thought she was in a trance.
‘Kate, did you hear what I said, Are you pregnant? Is that why you called me here so I talk to your Dad?’ Her Grams said while staring her in the eyes with both her hand’s on Kate’s shoulders.
“Ermm,” She managed to find her voice, “Grams, I’m not pregnant? Besides, it has been four years since i slept with a man.”
‘Are you saying you got pregnant by a woman?’
‘Grams, I can’t be pregnant.’
‘Are you sure because your body is saying something else.’
Then Kate remembered she slept with Nectar 4 weeks ago.
“What.” She shouted and quickly rushed out of her room. She met her mom and dad sitting downstairs. Kate shoved them an eye and rushed out in her car.
She kept buzzing to the security; ‘Will you open this gate now?’
He came out trying to get the sleep out of his eyes and ten minutes later, Kate saw herself in front of the pharmacist.
“Tell me I’m I pregnant?”
‘Miss I believe you have to take a test for me to know that.’
‘Then let us get the damn test done,’ She yelled.
What looks like about five minutes, I was ushered in a room, where she handed me some kits.
EPISODE 13
The pharmacist instructed her on what to do. Few minutes after, she told Kate the worse news she has heard in years.
‘You are pregnant Miss, though I can’t tell how far long you are already, but you are pretty much going to have a baby soon. Congratulations!’
Kate never knew she was that strong. How she carried herself from the pharmacy to her house she wasn’t able to tell. Kate was in deep thoughts, when she entered the house and then she heard her dad yelled.
‘Who is the father of that bastard you are carrying.’
That was the last thing she heard, until the next day.
Kate woke up to her worried mom, and grams sitting by her bedside. They both sighed, ‘finally she is back.’
Then the events of yesterday came rushing in. The pregnancy, her dad’s annoying voice. Then the quivering’s in her legs, her mind and body shutting down. Kate figured she might have collapsed, that was the only reason they were staring at her, so she did not even ask.
‘Kate are you okay.’ Her mom was examining her whole body and her grams was smiling at her. Her Dad walked in few minutes later and thundered. ‘Has she said anything about the bastard she’s carrying.’
Grams shoved her an ugly face, come on Wilson Santa, this is your daughter lying here. If she is carrying a bastard, then you have a bastard grandchild too, so mind your words.’
‘Mom stay out of this, how many times have I warned this bastard of a daughter to stop sleeping with everything in clothes? Am sure she doesn’t even know who the father of that bastard is.’
‘So?’ Jane queried.
‘She should get ready to leave my house with that thing she is carrying. Like mother like daughter,’ he hissed!
Then Catherine flared up, ‘Wilson, I won’t stand you insulting my daughter that way, i’m sure you are trying to tell me I conceived after been raped. If you know, you were not responsible for Kate why then are you still keeping us here.’
Grand mom Jane just exclaimed, ‘Oh please! have you ever seen a labor ward because what you are to Kate is just a step mom.’
EPISODE 14
‘I don’t even know why my son insists on keeping you in here in the first place.’ Jane ranted.
Kate was not sure what her mom and dad was talking about earlier, but she knew her grams will jump at every opportunity to rub it in Catherine’s face who she really was to her.
She was surprised her mom finally defended herself that way.
Catherine may not be her biological mom, but she has been there from the very beginning.
Kate remembered when she was 18, she overheard her mum and dad quarrelling about telling her, Catherine wasn’t her mom. Catherine insisted it was time Kate knew the truth at that moment when Kate walked in on them admitting to her Mom she really didn’t mind if she wasn’t her biological mom.
She asked her to stop fighting with her dad while Catherine just looked on and gave her a tight hug. Since then, nothing has changed between mother and daughter.
Kate finally yelled after she was done reminiscing that memory she kept locked up.
‘Could you all get out of my room and find a place to throw your blows.’ All three looked at her surprised and walked out. Catherine tried coming back but Kate told her she wanted to be alone.
She was surprised to see Drake peeping in her room later in the evening.
‘Come in already, you gossip.’ She managed to say with a smile.
‘I’m not a gossip.’ He replied walking closer.
‘Who let you in? What are you doing here and are you not supposed to be at work?’
‘Come on Kate, too many questions at a time.’
‘I wasn’t expecting you Drake.’
‘I will go straight to the point then.’
‘What point?’ Kate muttered sarcastically.
‘Is it true?’
‘Is what true?’ She asked him.
‘Don’t play dumb with me girl, your mum called, so I know everything.’
He was talking like a jealous boyfriend and the smile she saw on his face earlier when she hadn’t yet told him she was pregnant for the guy from the bar suddenly vanished.
He just retorted,’ this was all my fault, we shouldn’t have gone to that bar.’
Kate wondered why he was reacting that way and could not figure out why he kept blaming himself.
‘Drake,’ She called with tears in her eyes. ‘It’s fine.’
‘What is fine?’
‘I meant to say I would be fine.’
‘So are you going to keep it.’ he said hugging her so she could be calm.
