"We Are...."

Camilla felt something warm move through her hair, Her eyes opened to face Chris gazing at her with worry.

"Milla, did I wake you. I tried to be quiet but could not "

He was moving a warm towel over her body, she frowned and tried to get up but Chris gently pushed her back down.

Her whole body hurt, she remembered being woken up by Ritah that the driver had come to pick her up. She had vaguely grabbed her things and walked out. But when she arrived home her headache was unbearable she decided to sleep some more.

Chris passed her some warm water helping her take some.

"You're running a fever, I called the doctor his on his way".he tried to smile.

She chuckled seeing his worried face. " Am fine, just exhaustion from working too hard " her weak voice said.

"I keep telling you to let your assistant do most of the work but you never listen. You can't handle everything on your own " he kissed her burning cheek.

"I know am sorry," she said as her eyes slowly closed.

She wanted to talk to him but her body disagreed, she felt sleepy and drowned back to sleep.

Chris laid next to her, "Sleep some more, I will take care of you " he said.

Chris woke up when the doctor arrived leading him to the bedroom. He waited at the foot of the bed anxiously as the doctor examined Camilla.

Her eyes looked fragile it scared him.

He told the doctor what her staff had told him when he called to ask when she had got sick. They said she had been feeling dizzy and had a lot of nausea. She was avoiding making some dishes claiming the smell irritated her now.

The doctor nodded and told him to stay outside for a while, he was getting in the way with his worried behavior.

The doctor turned to Camilla and smiled, "Now let's continue" she nodded.

After the doctor was done, he walked out with a smile. Chris rushed to him asking if Camilla was fine.

"She is okay, just make sure she rests and avoids things that stress her. And Congratulations" he said

"Uh..." Chris looked at the doctor in confusion.

"Go see her she's waiting. I can see myself out " he said.

Chris nodded and walked to the bedroom, Camilla was holding a smile. He sat next to her asking if she feeling okay.

"Love, the doctor said..." she paused.

"Said?" he felt his heart throb was Camilla sick but then why was she smiling.

Her hand moved to her belly and smiled.

"I am pregnant " she cried.

He halted as the words repeated in his mind.

"We are pregnant?" he cried and Camilla nodded hugging him. He was so happy that he kept repeating the words over and over as he held on to Camilla.

"If you cry like this, then what should I do?" Camilla laughed wiping his tears. He was laying on her lap now caressing her belly.

"Am not crying they just keep flowing " he cried.

Camilla laughed. "We are going to have a baby you need to stop acting like one " she played with his hair.

Chris nodded but still didn't stop sobbing.

They visited the hospital the next day so Camilla could have more tests. After they were done they met up with Ray at her restaurant.

"Can I touch it " he smiled moving his hand but Chris slapped it away.

"Don't even think of touching her, she might have forgiven you for all the nonsense you kept from us but I haven't " Chris spat out.

Camilla had let go of all the past. he kept a grudge. How dare Ray acts like he didn't know anything all the time when he knew who was behind all their trouble.

"Samantha kept threatening me and I had to play the dummy all the time do you think I loved doing it behind your back " Ray glared at Chris

"Can you two please don't make me angry? I might not have any scissors around but anything can do if am irritated"

Chris sat back down and Ray smiled at his friend.

Ben and the others all had lunch with her and then took pictures.

Camilla chooses one with Chris carrying her with a smile and her hospital scan. Then captioned them "Ready to be Parents"

A few seconds later her accounts were flooding with comments and likes. It was like the whole country was keeping tabs on her. Messages of congratulations kept coming in and in her comments too.

They drove home in the evening, she had dozed off in the car but Chris woke her up.

"Are we home?" she turned to him. He shook his head and opened the door.

"Come," he said. She followed him and he blindfolded her.

"Is it a surprise?" she asked.

"Mmmm".

He stopped and took it off then pointed at something up.

She chuckled watching the huge billboard light up. It was a picture of her in white smiling at someone. She remembered he had taken it when they took a trip together to the beach.

"With you being the mother of our baby, I know it would be beautiful, kind with a pure heart like yours.

Congratulations to us, the love of my life". she read.

Her hand had moved to her face to hold back the tears, he hugged her back and pointed down. She could see different lights moving, the cars had stopped and everyone was holding one in different colors.

He moved her hand, waving to the crowd. She heard them roar with happiness shouting her name then let go of all the lights. She looked up now, the sky was filled with different colors sparkling.

" Now your crying like a baby " Chris smiled. Camilla turned to hide her face in his chest.

"I don't know, I can't control it " she cried. Why was he doing all of this? A simple message would have done.

"Why do you keep doing these silly things?" she murmured.

"It's because I love you, stupid " he kissed her head.
