"Wait a minute, Milly is that you?" Sally noticed her trying to hide her face.

"Ahhh...kumbe it is you Milly. I was not wrong. How is the baby doing?"

""The baby is doing fine Dr. Gatanga."

"Good, that is good to hear. When are you going to bring your husband to finalize the adoption?"

"Wait a minute, doctor did you just say adoption?" Gerald becomes completely shocked. "What adoption are you talking about? Is that not my child?"

"Ahh, so you must be Gerald. My name is Dr. Gatanga. Unfortunately your child died, and Milly here came to us to adopt a child of similar age to her first one." Outwardly surprised. "Milly had told me the both of you had talked about it and that you were ready for adoption."

"Milly what is this doctor talking about?"

The room fell silent as everybody turned to Milly.

"Well...I...." She breathed heavily and turned to face Gerald. "Our baby died about a week ago after you had taken the DNA test. I felt horrible because the baby was the reason you came back to me. Doctor Gatanga was the one who has been helping me finalize the adoption process of this baby. I was hoping to tell you...once we got married."

"Wait...what? What do you mean? I left Sally to come to a fake baby? Are you OK in your head?"

The nurse at Gerald's bedside is still screaming at him to cool down. She orders everyone to get out. The last thing Gerald hears as he is put to sleep by the nurse is Sally saying

"I am pregnant. It is your child"

It is my child

(all photos taken from google.co.ke) (www.clipartbest.com) Gerald is seated sipping his drink slowly. He is admiring the house, trying to remember the many graceful memories he has had the past two year. However, it is time to call it quits. He has to move on, somehow. Sally comes in and seats besides him and notices something is off. “What is wrong Gerald?” Gerald breathes in and out. He picks up three papers from the table and hands them to Sally. “We need to talk Sally.” He looks at her trying to be as gentle as possible. “I am sorry Sally. It is over between us. I need to go take care of my baby.” There is a brief pause. “Ati, what? What did you just say Gerald? Am hearing you right? You want to leave me? Why?” Gerald can see she is becoming hysterical. He was not sure how to break it to her, but he felt telling it to her face would have been easier, how wrong he was. “It’s Milly. She was pregnant when I left her and now she has my son; one year old

It's nothing new

(Bully Fanon website) It is quite a shame that Alliance has to be in the news for the wrong reasons. Usually they are in it, shouting and praising the form fours who had left the previous year for the ‘ A ’ s they brought to the school. To some it is a new phenomenon that students are beating students, but to me it is not. I went to a so called ‘ bush ’ high school. It is however famous in the part of the county it hails from. Here, beating of students by fellow students was a common thing during my time. It was almost routine. To make it worse, once you were beaten by the prefects they took you to the teachers who also beat you. Of course they were not using sticks only to beat their fellow students, but anything they found. Those who were forwarded to the teachers were usually those who had resisted the beating. The teachers also found out that sticks were ineffective and felt the need to use their fists to correct the errors of the student. I am not writing th

Men, we need to wake up

(all photos courtesy of Google). The world is evolving. Time is changing. Women are gaining power. Men are seated, watching, waiting for their turn. In the 90s and early 2000s all campaigns were directed at ‘empowering the women’ Do not get me wrong, women were mistreated and suffered under the tyranny of men and their egos. UNICEF created the International Day of the Girl to help end the circle of violence against adolescent girls. It is celebrated on the 11 th of October annually. Education was the major concern and center of debates, and the United Nations felt that it had serious impacts on human and economic aspects of society. Girls worldwide were forced to cook, clean and do other house hold chores while their male siblings went to school and received care and attention from parents. Girls were seen as a curse while boys were seen as a blessing. Men felt proud having a boy while mistreating the poor mother for having a girl. Something needed to
