JENNY
âMy waist! Waist! its paining me!
I shouted as soon as we got to the hospital, the strange man rushed down immediately from the car and summoned the nurses,they came immediately and took me to the theater.
I thought why they brought me to the theater when I know that am not in labour,my pregnancy is just seven months.
Could it be that am in labour now? If that happens that means I will be giving birth to premature baby,No nah!
âWhy did you brought me here? my pregnancy is just seven months so why am I here?
I asked to clarify my thoughts.
âCalm down madam! the doctor will soon come and check on youâ
the nurse said.
The pain in my tummy was too much,my baby was moving and kicking me too much making the pain to be more painful for me to endure.
The nurse went out and came back within a short while with the doctor.
âYOU! I shouted shockingly.
âYes is meâ
he replied.
The person that got me into this pain is a Doctorâ
I thought.
âIs my fault that you are in this pain but you donât have worry about anything am I here to examine youâ
He said with smiles written all over his face.
âI need to inject on you for the pain to calm downâ
I said.
âWhy injection? Canât you give me tablet instead?
I asked looking so secard.
I hate injection right from when am small,I prefer to take tablet than injection.
âNo madam! the injection is more effective and very fast in working and beside we donât have the tablet that the momentâ
he explained.
âOh no! am so secard of injectionâ
I shouted forgotten the pain I was into.
âMadam you donât have to be secard the injection is not painful and I will be injecting you in your armâ
he said.
The nurse came to inject me and I shouted.
âYou know what Madam,just look at me and you will not know when you are injectedâ
he said.
âAre you sure?
I asked so secard of the injection.
âAm very much sure Madam,just look at meâ
He replied giving me his assurance.
I starred into his cat brown eyes,he look so handsome,his pointed nose suited his handsome face.I was starring at him while he was smiling at me.
âAre you done already?
I asked the nurse.
âYes Madam!
âLike seriously! I did not feel the pain of the injection at all and the pain I was feeling has vanish,Doc what type of magic did you use on me?
I asked smiling.
âI know how to treat my patient very especially those who are secard of injectionâ
he replied with smiles.
âI need to examine the babyâ
he said.
He checked the heartbeat,the scan and the auto sound of the baby was so good,he touched my tummy to be comfrimed if am still experience any pain.
He examined me so good.
âMadam,the position of the baby is good but I will like to meet you in my officeâ
He said after the examination.
âOkay Doc!
I replied and he walked out.
I changed back to my cloth,i was wearing the ante-natal gown.
The nurse directed me to the Docâs office.
âMadam you may have a sitâ
He said.
âThank you Doc!
I said and sat down.
âMadam I will first of all apologize to you for my mistake towards you,am deeply sorry for putting you that conditionâ
