SAW-

CHAPTER 38

_ILHAM_

I've never been more happy to be back to a place like this, my stay at my marital home for the next following days was going really well that I did not even realise how the months were passing by like a flash. It has been more than eight months already and I could hardly notice it.

By my days going really well, I meant really really well, really well means me waking up to Khalil giving me breakfast on bed, really well means me going downstairs to see him already cooking breakfast or lunch or even dinner, I have to admit, he can cook. But not more than me. I would wake up to surprises each and every day and today I was about to be the one to surprise him.

I had the pregnancy test results on my hand and it was positive, let's just say even I didn't realise that I was pregnant myself. I have been already 12 weeks pregnant and I did not even realise it myself, I mean I would occasionally be vomiting but I didn't really deem it to be serious. And I had no any bump showing so my nonchalantness would never had allowed me to notice.

I had gone earlier today before going to the bakery to the hospital to get the scan and the gender since I've been 12 weeks into I'll be able to know the gender and it was a boy, I had seriously wanted a female but I'm grateful for whatever God has given me. For whatever God has given us.

I came back inside from the bakery and was a little bit disappointed to find out that Khalil was not at home. I went to the kitchen and made dinner then set it on the table. Just as I sat down, the door was open and khalil entered looking exhausted. His knuckles was bloodied and I was not sure wether it was his blood or somebody else was a victim to him but I hope it was the latter. Call me selfish.

I went towards him, confusion written on my face.
"I'm sorry habibti." He said moving away to wash his hands in the kitchen before coming closer to me as he continued,
"There was an attack on our camp so I had to take the nearest flight to Maiduguri, and yeah....that's it." He explained.

I should've been used to seeing khalil like this, coming back with blood on his hands but deep down, it still scares me somehow. I watch him keep his gun away before pulling me into a hug that I suddenly relaxed into. I almost forgot to tell him about the surprise but when I remembered I pulled back and stared up at him.

Now I was nervous.

"I've something to show you." I said, my nervousness clear.

"Yes go on." He responded, dragging a chair for me to sit down and I did.

After what felt like hours, I showed him the pregnancy results and the print of the scan showing the scan of the baby boy in my womb. Confusion was clear in Khalil's face at first but when the realisation hit him, he was standing up and was coming over to pull me into a tight hug.

When I pulled back, I'm as surprised to see tears in his eyes, I've never seen him crying. And I've to admit it's a weird sight on him but he still looks cute with the tears on. I almost laughed.

"How..why did you not tell me earlier?" He asked after wiping his tears and I went further to tell him that I recently found out too.

It was later on that I realised it might have been a bad idea to tell Khalil about my pregnancy, because now the man is not letting me do anything, he's not even letting me lift anything, not even my spoon to eat rather he insisted on feeding me. Holy God
I allowed him to after many failed attempts at trying to tell him I could do my things by myself, I allowed him to feed me.

"How's the military work going ?" I asked somewhere in between our meal.

"Good, the president has passed a statement to make me the commander general of the military. Mubarak might have really died I don't even know again." He responded bringing the spoon to my lips.

I nodded.

I did not really like asking stuffs about his work because it's not a work I personally admire, the military works scares me, anytime Khalil leaves saying he'll go to their military camp I would always be scared. What if he never returns? What if I get a call saying he's gone? I would always be so scared of what to expect.

But he has been doing more than well lately, even though he still returns with injuries, he still returns alive, at-least he's still alive and well. The injures on his body can heal but if I ever loose him to death, I would not be able to get him back from death and the idea itself scares me.

Even after telling Khalil to let me be the one to inform our family about my pregnancy, he beat me to it and actually called them to inform them and they were all head over heels. I was throwing the cushions of the couches at Khalil while he dodges it with the phone still on his hand as he continues to blabber.
The next thing I knew was that I was tripped on one of the cushions on the floor and almost fell but was luckily held aback by Khalil who was too quick with his movements.

He ended the call to make sure I was alright,
"Damn! Habibti are you fine? I'm sorry."

"I'm fine." I reassured.

He made me to sit on the couch with his hand assuringly on my bump as if he could make the baby and me safe just by keeping his hand there. I put my hand in his own and simply stayed like that, enjoying the presence of my two family. My husband and my baby.
