Episode 33
Benny breathed loudly, he scoffed at the doctor's last word as the doctor walked out.
Benny turned to his wife with a questioning look.
"Did you know? how... I don't seem to understand what exactly is going on. Are you pregnant?
Dorcas made a sad face before saying
"I wasn't sure initially Benny. I felt the symptoms but at a point I started having doubts. And I don't want to get my hopes or yours up. And with my health history I wasn't sure pregnancy will survive in the state I was put in. I'm shocked that something is still in here. I stopped having signs after few days and was even thanking God because Bianca would have harvested the foetus out of my womb with her bare hands. I fear that lunatic weirdo... she has no human blood flowing in her.. probably is alien fluid that's in her body. Well, I don't know how I should react to the news of the baby Benny. I don't know if I should jubilate or be sad. I really don't know..."
Benny was quiet too. He turned over to her and took her hands into his.
"This came more like a shock honey, I wasn't expecting this now and another thing, we were only together during the anniversary night.... just once surprisingly. that's quiet a shock. But God's ways are higher than ours and so is his plans. The last pregnancy would have made it to term but the devil fought real hard to destroy our home and lives. our little angel paid a big price for it. Let's join our faith together this time, nothing and I mean absolutely nothing will happen that will take this seed out of your womb until the set time for him or her to come fort. I'm actually very excited honey... I can't really explain the exact way I feel. This is God... crowning our efforts with blessing. God is good honey... so good. you may not feel it or understand it now but is going to come to past this time. We will carry our baby in flesh and blood. Trust me please, try and do that this time and together we will pray for this child until we can finally hold her... it could be him but I want a baby girl first..."
Dorcas gave a sweet laughter. Benny has a way of getting to her with his words.
She felt so blessed to have him.
Despite the past disappointment Benny never stop believing. During each miscarriage he still reassures her that the next one will stay.
Is been years of trying and Benny never stopped believing and she rely so much on his strength and his strong belief in God.
Is his faith towards things that kept pushing her forward. She was not just lucky but blessed to have him.
She was moved to tears as she listened to her husband.
Emotions weighs into her heart, She straightened and peck Benny on his cheek.
", I trust you honey, I will never doubt you ever again. It was my doubts and mistrust that led us into the devil's awaiting nest. I'm sorry... forgive me please. I promise to be a better wife to you and when our baby finally comes I will do all I can to be a better mother to him or to her... so help me God..."
She placed her hand on her chest and said the last part. It got Benny laughing.
He bent over and kissed her amidst tears
He had never heard his wife say such before with so much faith, and hearing those words means everything to him.
They later went home. Weeks later Geni was alright and resumed school.
Dorcas and Benny took care of her fees and got a place for her to stay.
They also gave her money to support her Mom and siblings.
Geniva was very grateful. It was a big miracle and she felt so free like her normal self now that Bianca was no more.
Jessica, Bianca's father's wife was contacted and she had alot of terrible things to say about Bianca. She also knew that Bianca has a hand in her husband's death but there was no evidence to nail her.
Bianca had try hurting her and her kids, that was the major reason she decided to let her have more than half of her husband's empire. Life was far more important to her than riches.
She was rather relieved that nemesis caught up with Bianca.
Dorcas resumed office, Benny encouraged her to go as he assured her that God was watching over their little one.
When Dorcas pregnancy became very obvious, she could no longer go to work.
Anita makes it her duty to come see and update her at home.
Dorcas was able to carry her pregnancy to term and gave birth to a baby boy.
Benny was overjoyed. He forgot ever saying he wanted a girl. What mattered most was the Joy of finally holding a baby, his very own baby in his arms.
Dorcas was speechless as her baby was placed in her arms. She was a mother for real after so many years.
Natural conception and she carried the pregnancy to term without much trouble like the past.
Her Joy was overflowing.
It was a moment she had so much looked forward to within the years and finally it has become an answered prayer.
After two years passed by, Dorcas conceived again.
She later gave birth to a baby girl who was so beautiful.
Her beauty radiates like the sun.
People left her original name and calls her Beauty instead.
She has all her dad's features.
Benny and Dorcas were very satisfied with their two heavenly gifts.
Dorcas became more strengthened in the Lord.
She was a mother to children not just one child.
Indeed the blessings of the Lord makes rich and there is no sorrow added to it.
Someday they will get to tell their children the story of how God rescued them from the captive of the wicked but until then they will continue to serve and worship He who rescued them the den of Satan, removed shame and reproach from their lives and gave them a new name.
