Chapter 13 - Chapter 4: Breaking Under Pressure

The fifth month brought a pregnancy scare. Naomi woke one night with sharp cramps and light bleeding. Panic sent them rushing to a nearby clinic in a night danfo. The doctor warned of stress-related risks and advised complete bed rest where possible. "Una need better nutrition and less worry," he said, charging ₦25,000 for the visit and drugs.Back in the room, the scare deepened their regret. "This na punishment," Naomi sobbed, lying on the mattress with Zion rubbing her belly gently. "We crossed the line as brother and sister. One stupid passionate night and now our baby dey suffer. I regret straddling you, moaning your name while you fucked me on that couch. I regret not stopping."Zion's voice broke. "I regret carrying you inside, entering you deep without protection. I feel like I ruined your life… our lives." They held each other for hours, crying and confessing every forbidden touch from Season 1 and 2. Yet love refused to die. That same night, after the tears dried, they made slow, emotional love — missionary, eye-to-eye, every thrust gentle and meaningful. "Forgive me," Zion whispered as he came inside her. "I forgive us," Naomi replied through fresh tears.Money problems peaked. Rent reminder came, and Zion's channel stalled at 2,400 subs despite consistent uploads. A big gig fell through. They argued again — small, heated words about responsibility — then reconciled with hungry kisses and intense doggy-style sex against the wall, Naomi muffling her moans. Passion was their glue, but guilt their constant shadow.Aunty Shade confronted them directly one evening: "Una dey hide something. That belle no be normal belle. Talk truth." They denied it, but the suspicion forced them indoors more. Mama's messages turned desperate: "My children, please call me. I no dey angry, I just wan know una dey safe."The emotional toll showed in Zion's editing — videos lacked energy. Naomi's online courses were paused. They survived on cheap meals and hope, their bond strengthening through shared hardship even as regret ate at them daily.
