83 CHRISTA DAD SPOKE TO HER

Bending his head Thomas kisses her lips as he enters the room, "You my love have made me very proud, and you have never given me the reason to regret my decision. And for that, I love you even more.

Also, if you want to continue with your charade? I will play along, but I will be the proudest when everyone knows that he is my son?"

"Thomas, didn't I declare to your friend, that you are my son's father?"

"Yes, you did."

Christa notices when he pauses, as she asks, "And what Tom?"

"Well, I know we sleep in the same bed, but you give me the impression that you are ashamed of that."

"At first I was, but I never knew the truth, but from now on, I will be honored to lie next to you."

"True!"

"Yes true, and I am sorry for making things difficult for you, putting you in many difficult positions."

"Never mind, I know you did it because of my foolishness, but I never regret it for one minute. And how did you know that Jenny wanted to have an affair with me?"

"Oh that was easy, her behavior that day was very fishy. What she really, wanted that day was to see who your wife was. So I played along feeding her want she wanted to hear."

"You are too smart for me."

"Why do you say that?"

"Because from the very first day we got married, you put me through my first test?"

"I have no idea what you are talking about."

Hearing him laugh when he said, "Maybe at the time you didn't but you did?" Resting her on the bed, "Now do you want something to drink before your father comes up?"

"Tom, can I ask you something?"

"Nothing stop you before, so what do you want to ask me?" As he bends his head capturing her lips.

When she hit my hand and said, "Tom," her father step through the door and Laura was holding a tray. Smiling seeing Dad was holding baby Thomas and Mom was right by his side. "Laura, you are here?"

"Yes, Errol send me so I can help take care of you."

"But what about your school?"

"I am home for two semesters."

"Papa, then you can stay for a little while longer?"

"Yes my child, Errol said he will take care of everything so I can stay with you until you and my grand is stronger."

"Thank you so much for coming."

"My child I was so worried that I could not be near you to take care of you. Thank God Thomas send for me to be here. Now I want you to get some rest and we will talk after your rest.

"Thank you, Papa," seeing him nod, "Laura can you stay awhile with me?"

Seeing the nod as dad gives Christa the baby, "Here you go, he must be hungry I will instruct Mrs. Marva how to fix his tea." Looking at them go, "Thank you dad for taking care of him."

"No my child I must thank you for giving me a grand, and Christa you make me so proud."

Seeing her mother-in-law came and kiss her cheeks. "Now don't talk for too long, you need some rest. From what I hear Laura will be here for some days."

"Thanks, mom, and when Mrs. Marva brings his tea, you can take him with you after he drinks his tea."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, he seems so comfortable with you and dad."

"Thank you, love, that will make Sam very happy."

"Mom!"

"Yes, Christa!"

"Mom, did you see his toe?"

"Yes, love."

Hearing Thomas saying, "Now I will leave you two, I have some things to discuss with dad."

In the study Thomas asks his Dad and Christa's dad to join him, "Thomas what is the matter son?"

"Dad next week is Easter and the baby will have twenty-one days, do you think we should dedicate him?"

Turning to Christa's dad, "Dad tells me what will Errol do?"

"Thomas my son, Errol will do exactly what you want to do, but Christa always wanted Errol to be her first child Godparent."

"Is that so?"

"Yes, then we will wait."

"No son Laura is here, so carry on with your plan."

"Dad, I will speak with Christa first, if she agrees with what you suggested then I will call Pastor."

"As you wish, now I will take some rest if that's all you needed."

"Thanks, Dad, I will get Mrs. Marva to bring you a juice." Reaching him to his room then instruct Mrs. Marva.

Thomas then went to his room to see she was asleep and the crib was empty. The tray Laura had brought was empty.

Leaving her to rest Thomas drive down to the back to check on things. It has been a month since he didn't visit the pens.

Hearing his phone ring seeing an unknown number wondering who is it? Thomas answer, "Good evening,

Realizing it was Jenny Thomas said, "Did you want to ask me something?" Knowing the person was there but wasn't speaking.

"Look, please don't waste my time if you want to ask me something do it now?"

Switching off the phone then he alights the van by the cow pen, seeing Jason and John busy putting hay in their pen. Thomas went and take up the book and browse through it.

Taking a walk by the pigpen, seeing it had a few that had been delivered. 'This is good, from the Christmas holidays to now.

I had sold most of them, now my pen is replenishing again." Reading the records.

Strolling down to the goat pen seeing the men milking the goats. Thomas took the book as he open the goat pen. Thanking God for his enormous blessing. It is Easter next week and I should have a few animals up for sale.

Instructing the men before he left then head back to the van when Jason hail him out.

Returning to the cow pen seeing one of the mothers was showing signs of delivering soon. "Watch her and if any problems call me."

"Boss, the men are so anxious, they want to come up and see the baby especially Nicolas."
