episode 11

Mr Ambrose: so what would you like us to do? Stay home and cook or eat out?

Chioma: let's go to Food and Fun. I haven't been there in a long while.

Mr Ambrose: anything else you'll like to do? Like seeing a movie afterwards?

Chioma: ermmm, we can go swimming.

(The couple got to Food and Fun and were given a table for two beside another couple, who happened to be Nina.

She was on a first date with someone she met over the internet. Mr Ambrose did not recognise her as he barely saw her face the day they visited his office.

The couple ordered their preferred meals and as they spoke and ate, Nina listened and recorded their conversations!)

Mr Ambrose: so tell me, how do you think we are doing in terms of our family life?

Chioma: I think we are doing great!

Mr Ambrose: do you think we need to increase the budget since we are going to have Kate as a live-in Nanny, from next month?

Chioma: not really. Kate is not so much of a food person. Let's leave it the way it is at the moment but if after next month, I think it wasn't sufficient , then I'll let you know.

Mr Ambrose: what about security? You know it broke my heart when Tatiana spoke about Mr thief the other day.

She still has memories of that robbery. My poor daughter! I want to make sure she never witnesses such horror again including Shasha. No child deserves to witness that.

Chioma: that's what happens when you have a very intelligent child. But I think Patrick is doing a good job, we don't need more security. And dont forget, except the Lord keeps a city, the watchmen watch in vain! God watches over us.

Mr Ambrose: Amen!! do you have any other concerns at all?

Chioma: concerns? No. But I have something to tell you. I'm not sure if it's the best news since Shasha is only 10 months…

Mr Ambrose: are you pregnant?😳

Chioma: Yes, I am. I found out two days ago.

Mr Ambrose: (gives her a hug) of course it is a great news!!! That's another blessing on the way for us! Congratulations to us!!!

Shasha will be absolutely fine. Kate being with us will make it even easier!!

I need to call my parents and tell them and then go to the village and tell your parents!

Chioma: look at you! Hahahaha! It's not like it's my first pregnancy! This is my third missionary journey, babe!

Mr Ambrose: the excitement is no different! I'm going to be a dad!!!

Chioma: what! You became a dad some four and a half odd years ago!

Mr Ambrose: every time seems like the first time!

Yipeeee!

Chioma: you are creating a scene. Look how everyone is looking and smiling at us.

Mr Ambrose: like I care! Oh what an evening!

Chioma: I need to gradually start weaning Shasha.

Mr Ambrose: you know it's okay to breastfeed until you have your next one. Forget all those rubbish we were fed years ago. So don't let that bother you.

Chioma: sweetie, remember you promised to help my old course mate by giving him a job. He has been calling and asking when he can come see you.

Mr Ambrose: Ermm, I am still reviewing a few things in that department. I'll get back to you on that.

Chioma: thank you. He really needs the help.

Mr Ambrose: shall we just talk about us today? We can always talk about other people some other day.

Chioma: I'm sorry

Mr Ambrose: 👍🏼

**************************************************

Nina: (📱📱📱) hello, Charlotte can you hear me!!

Charlotte:(📱📱📱📱) hi babe! How was the date?

Nina: mtcheew! Man's not hot! Anyway that's not why I'm calling. Is Deric around?

Charlotte: no. Actually he's been in the village. His mum is diabetic and her condition has deteriorated badly. He went to be with her just in case.

Nina: my own mother is dead anyway. But I wish him the best oh!

Hey listen up! Mr Ambrose and his wife were seated right behind us at Food and Fun! They were there playing happy family and I was literally burning inside!

But the good news is that she announced to him that she is pregnant! And I think Deric might be responsible. What do you think?

Charlotte: really? He probably is! Randy He-goat!

Nina: let's tell her husband!

Charlotte: how?

Nina: I found the wife on Facebook. Her Facebook name is Chiomabeautz. Her profile picture is her wedding picture with her husband. This is what we are going to do.

I will create a fake account with her name and profile picture and you will create a fake account with Deric's name and profile picture. Then, I'll use that fake account to send you a message that the numerous sex we had resulted in pregnancy and you will reply me asking me to hang it on my husband.

We will now print the messages and send it to his office with the picture of them hugging!

Charlotte: how do we send it?

Nina: by post! Don't be a dummy! Obviously we can't go back there.

Charlotte: girl you bad! But this is a good idea! Since she wants to wreck my home, she will be paid in her own coin!
