The signs were showing, l was pregnant, l knew it, l would tell my husband tonight
or when l thought it was right to tell him.
“So are you preg yet?” my maid Rita asked me.
“l know the answer to that and l won’t tell you the answer, l will only tell my
husband the answer” l said to that.
“Oh okay, l didn’t mean to pry” l cut her off.
“It’s okay Rita l know you didn’t mean it’s just that you must be curious” l said
smiling as she did my hair.
“All done” she said and smiled and stood at my door.
“Thankyou” l said walking out my door.
“Darling” l said as l caught him playing in the land of dreams, Moda’s song. Alright
l decided, l would tell him now that l was pregnant.
“Oh Dalia come join me” he said inviting me to sit down with him. He was a very
good piano player, l decided and l guessed this child would be just the same,
maybe l should ask him to teach me, l thought.
“Guess what” l asked him smiling.
“What?” he questioned with a spark of excitement in his eyes.
“l am pregnant” l said smiling.
“All of a sudden he stopped playing and stood up and said.
“Oh Dalia give me a hug” without a comment l obeyed him and hugged him. “We
are to have a child” he said excitedly.
“Yes we are and please don’t squash our baby” l reminded a smile wide on my
face.
“Oh” he said and let go of me and smiled with that same spark of excitement in
his eyes.
“Oh l love you Cygmous” l said and kissed him on the lips.
“What is going on here” asked king Eric as he walked in on us.
“Dalia is with child” my Cygmous said.
“Very good, congratulations, I’m so happy for you” Eric said. Eric must hate my
husband l thought, for sleeping with his wife. But then again Adriela had only
done that for revenge for his sleeping with the human Sarah. Eric turned around
and left us and l started kissing my husband once more and enjoyed it, I’m sure he
enjoyed it too.
