Birth

It was a cold and rainy dawn, somewhere in the suburbs of a rich and cultural continent of Africa. My mom had to be admitted at the hospital that morning because I refused to come out though my due date was 2 weeks ago. My siblings were preparing for school, as my dad waited to go drop them off and then take my mom to the hospital.

Phhs, my dad sighs.... what a tiring journey for a cold morning.

On their way, the car developed a puncture, that was the exact moment I decided to make my presence known to this world, my mom went into labour.

In a dilemma, my dad quickly drop my siblings and hurried to the hospital with my mom, who was experiencing acute labour pains.

they arrived at the hospital at 10am and within 30mins, my dad who had gone to repair the puncture received a call that i had arrived💃💃.

But what a disappointment 😔

A girl again😲. "I need a son to continue my lineage, enough of the daughters!" Mike Otu (my dad) exclaimed.

"But all the tests and scans showed that we'll have a son" Shiloh Otu replied amist tears😢😢

That is when it all began.......
