1 Prologue

"No Kevin, I will not accept that mistake in your life." The woman in her grey old days retaliate as she speaks. She looks at the meek form of the woman that is beside her son. She looks so small and frail. Mostly she looks so young. She caught the tightly clasped hands between them. 'Love?' she scoffed as she remembers' her sons' words: 'I love her mother. She wasn't anything like Tanya.'

"She's pregnant mom." Kevin announced, cradling the strangers belly in front of her.

"For Gods' sake Kevin, you are married!" Unable to contain her anger she turned to lithe form beside him. "Acting like a virgins' disciple and now pregnant? Even with a married man? Slut!" Her words had cut right through the skin and penetrated right through the bones without shedding a drop of blood.

An unwatched tear has formed under her eyes, she bites her lower lips to control the trembling of her body and even to stop herself from crying and running away from this hell. She knows! She knew what she did and given the time and chance she will still do it. Unclasping her hand from the man that she loves and gathering it both in her lap she looks down at it. Her black silky hair had cascaded her now anguish face, she could feel the pair of two eyes on her. One that had promise her life, love and suffering, the other is nothing but hatred towards her. "Its's going to be a boy." She mumbles. Feeling a little bit of courage within her, she wiped her eyes and look at the old woman who is ready to condemn her at every turn. "My baby, its' going to be a boy! If he's not a boy you could throw us away and I will never show my face to Kevin anymore." She declared. Praying to every deity and god to make her baby a boy. Just this once… just this once… she whispered to herself.
