"Congratulations Sir, your wife has put to bed and it's a girl" a nurse said while walking towards them.
Fatima jumped and shouted as joy filled her stomach, she's happy to have a younger sibling after 19 years of waiting and she's super happy it's a girl. Mr Akini smiled while munching "Thank God" in his mouth, he has mixed feelings because he wanted a male child. His extended family has stressed the fact that his wife hasn't given birth to a male child and it's taking her long to conceive again after Fatima, nevertheless, he's glad his wife and his new baby are safe.
"Oh my God, she's so pretty, she looks a lot like me" Said Fatima grinning ear to ear as she stood beside the baby's bed, the early sunrise shone on the baby's face like it's projected to serve the baby. Mr Akini and Mrs Akini held eachother hands and smiled at Fatima's outburst. Fatima blushed till all her cheeks turned red like a monkey's ass, she's so happy she has seen someone to play with. Fatima is in her first year in the University of Lagos (UNILAG), she's been the only child of her parents till now, they provided her everything she needed, she never lacked. Her Father, Mr Akini, own a secondary school in town, the school is a good school and well known for academic excellence while Mrs Akini on the other side is an entrepreneur and a business woman, she sells quality and expensive cloth materials to notable people. They are not wealthy and they are not poor, they are middle-classed citizens.
Fatima just got to their apartment when she saw her Father's younger sister pacing up and down the corridor cursing loudly. Fatima was sent home from the hospital to get more things for her mother and the baby. "Good afternoon Auntie Breen, I didn't expect you here" she greeted, "keep your greetings to yourself you genie" Auntie Breen yelled back, "where's your pregnant mother and my sweet brother?" She queried. Fatima hated seeing her Father's extended family because she knows they don't like her and her mother a bit. "My mom is in the hospital and my father is with her"Fatima replied indifferently. Auntie Breen smirked, "hospital? what's happening there, hope nothing is wrong with my brother?". Fatima moved closer, smiled and whispered to her "my mom has given birth
".
