I sat beside him, stroke his head and told him in Twi, I think I am carrying your child. He asked me again, are you sure sweetheart. I said I think so, and he made me remove his phones which was charging beside him and said take off your nighti let me feel the heartbeat of my child it was freezing but I said ok. I joined him and Mary in bed.
I felt so warm in his arms and his breath and smile reassured me that I am home again.
I was not at Kings feet during his birthday. I was meant to do his favourite dish Kenkey with Tilapia and Jollof rice for the family. I had bought all the ingredients and suddenly I had a call to go to London.
I was very sad leaving the house but I had to go to London because it was an emergency.
Leaving the house felt like I'm going away and the children were crying. I knew Chaka will be missing me a lot but I had to leave.
My time in London wasn't all pleasant as part of me was waiting for the second to go back home.
I planned returning on the same day of the birthday evening but I couldn't make it. I was held up in London. I face timed the family and seemed they had fun.
When I returned back home, my husband wasn't happy I could feel it. When he is like that, I've learnt to give him space so he recovers but it can be painful to just be waiting especially because i had the big news to break to him.
I apologized several times and he was just saying it's fine and he will speak to me later.
I spoke to Mary my mistress I wanted a chance to speak to the King about my newly found change with my body.He chose not to come to my room so I had to go to his with Mary.
I knocked and sat beside him. He said stand up let me see your stomach he looked happy wth the news. He said don't be cold come in bed I want to feel my child.
Mary said she already has names and she always wanted 7 children. I am happy to give a little brother or sister to Chaka and that Mary and the king are happy with me carrying the child.

I am Shulamite and that is my pride
