Love And War Season 2

Part 8

I try to slip out if under Sebe without waking her but I fail.

I search our clothes until I find it but the person has already cut the call. I'm about to check until mom's number pops up on my screen.

"Mom"

I answer

"She's worse than we thought"

She says sounding really scared

"What do you mean? I thought it was just preeclampsia"

I ask unable to hide my shock

"We all thought so too honey but she's worse. Her pressure is too high so her doctor is worried that she might just give birth now if it doesn't lower, her body is not responding to the medication"

Mom says, I feel Sebe touch my shoulder.

"I'll be there as soon as I can mom"

I say and end the call. This feels like deja vu. Just a year ago I lost a baby and girlfriend and now my baby and her mother are in danger.

Sebe hugs me resting her head on my back

"How bad?"

I shrug as tears make their way down my cheeks

"It hasn't even been a year"

I say with my voice failing me. Sebe turns me to her and hugs me tight.

"We need to pray"

She suggests. I feel like I'm beyond prayer. Every time I think we getting somewhere something happens taking us 10 steps back.

"What good will that do?"

I ask sarcastically

"Mine let's just pray Ok?"

She says breaking the hug and pulls my hands into hers. We both bow our heads and she leads the prayer.

After Gugu's departure my parents walk in with Gugu's. I really hope he and Sebe are Ok. I brush my tummy but I don't get a response, I let out a sigh

"You going to get out of here"

Dad says kissing my forehead. I smile a hopeless smile

"How are you feeling?"

Mom asks kissing my hand, I smile

"Better I think"

I say and she gives a faint smile

"You scared us baby"

Gugu's mom says and I chuckle faintly

"Someone seems to be in a rush to get out and meet us"

I say and they laugh, I know its fake but it's so much better than living like this.

"You guys should go and rest now"

I say hoping to dismiss them. I'm tired

"Its only been a couple of hours honey"

Dad says and I turn to him

"What's the time kanti?"

He checks his watch

"Its around 6"

I nod yawning

"So this is why you were telling us to leave"

Gugu's mom says with a chuckle and I nod
