Few months after the kingship rites and the wedding ceremony and the wedding ceremony. The new king and queen have settled into their new lifestyle.

At first, Yosi was scared and timid but later on she got used to it. Things between her and the King aren't smooth and they behave like total strangers.

Yosi has been feeling sick for sometimes now and she usually feel the urge to vomit anytime she eats. She didn't go for lunch nor breakfast and now she's determined not to go for dinner again.

She sat on her bed humming to a song blaring from her phone while she knitted cardigan for her mother.

The king's mother knocked and she entered. She sat opposite Yosi and Yosi bent to greet her in respect.

Omotoyosi..... omotoyosi...... Omotoyosi. How many times did I call you?

Three times, maami

This life isn't a bed of roses. Accept your fate and move on. You think I don't notice the way you and kabiyesi behave like total strangers. The most interesting part is that you're carrying his heir. How do you now want to work it out?

Maami, I'm not pregnant.

look at you. You've added weight. Your face is pale. Your legs are getting swollen and you say you're not pregnant. Don't you feel like vomiting?

Yes, maami.

So you're pregnant my dear. Find a way to bridge the gap between you two. Act before it's too late. You're the only one with him now. You can't tell when the chiefs start pressuring him to get another queen. That's what I want to tell you.

She stood up and she left the room. Yosi thought about what the king's mother told her.

During dinner, when the king didn't see her, he asked of her and his mother told him that she's sick and she's inside.

He had a maid arrange her food and he led the way to her room. He hesitated at first but he entered anyway.

He looked around and he saw no sign of her. He told the maid to drop the food and go.

He heard her vomiting in the toilet and he rushed there. He held her hair sideways and he rubbed circles on her back.

At first she stiffened but later she relaxed under his touch. He continued and when she was done, she left him in the toilet.

He followed her and she sat down and continued knitting. "Yosi, are we going to pretend that nothing is wrong with you or is there something you're not telling me?" She looked up abruptly.
She shook her head and she fixed her gaze on the cardigan she was knitting.

He sat beside her and he held her hand
"Yosi, I'm a doctor for crying out loud and I know a pregnant lady when I see one. Yosi why are you hiding this good news from me?" She went pale.
Her heart was thumping in her chest and she

She shook her head and she couldn't form a word in her mouth.

"Yosi, let me into your life, accept the fact that God gave you to me to cherish. Yosi, all those years I left you, I swear to God I regretted it. I promise to Love you, no matter what"

Yosi burst into tears and he pulled her closer, he pressed her tight to his body and he swiftly claimed her lips with his. Their dinner laid cold and forgotten.
