Mummy, Daddy is on his kneels

A young blonde lady rushed into the hospital hallways frantically searching for the ward her dad was currently staying at..

She received a call a while ago about his health deteriorating rapidly and had to drop everything she was doing to get here on time..

She crashed into a nurse who was coming out of a ward and knocked out the stainless tray off her hand.

"Olivia Parker right?" The nurse who was putting on a pink colored uniform asked hastily to see the young girl nod in affirmation..

"Y..yeah..my dad..

The nurse moved aside granting Olivia entrance into the ward..

Olivia pushed the door open and ran in, when she got in her heart dropped to the pit of her stomach..

She stood rooted to the ground watching how her mum struggled with the doctor and nurses who were trying to move the lifeless body covered with a white sheet..

"He's not dead..he promised never to leave us behind..don't take him away!" Sandy Parker yelled out giving a fit as they tried to move her husband's body out of the ward.

Tears streamed down Olivia's eyes, she couldn't bring herself to accept that her beloved dad was gone after everything she and her mum did to save his life..

There was a loud thunderbolt that rocked the sky at that moment which meant it was about to rain, the lights in the ward flickered continuously further igniting the sparks in her amber eyes..

Olivia took a step backward and then another before she bolted out of the room, she couldn't stand it, she couldn't bear to see her dad's body, she felt like she was at fault for everything that was happening to them...

She moved as fast as her legs could carry her, Olivia wasn't sure where she was heading to at this late hour but she felt disappointed in herself and she couldn't bring herself to face her mum at this critical time..

***

Meanwhile...

The doctor stared briefly at the two men who stood before him, he returned his gaze back to the young man they brought before to him..

"I'm sorry but this is not treatable..he was given a heavy dose of aphrodisiac.. and you know what that mean right?" The doctor murmured obviously uncomfortable by the subject and the presence of the men before him.

The two muscular men who looked like bodyguards glanced briefly at each other and gave a short nod..

The doctor shook his head and left the ward in a hurry leaving them alone..

They stared back at their young master whose knuckles has started turning white and he looked really uncomfortable, his face glistered with sweat that rolled down his neck, left with no other choice the guards both left the ward..

***

Olivia held the walls for support, her mind was clouded with various thoughts on what would become of she and her mother now that her dad was no more..

Thinking of it alone was enough to shatter her heart into a million pieces..

Maybe if she hadn't bugged him about the camping trip where he unfortunately met with an accident, he might still be with her..

A soft gasp escaped her lips when she raised her head to see two huge men glaring down at her, she swallowed and moved to the other side and to her surprise they blocked her path again..

She turned back briefly and noticed that the hall was empty, she snapped her gaze back to them nervously..

They looked dangerous emitting a deadly aura, especially the one with a scar that ran across his face..

"Who..are you?"

In a blink of an eye, a palm was placed over her mouth to stop her from screaming and alerting the attention of others..

She kicked and wriggled her body trying to break free from their hold, but who was she kidding? she was a feather compared to their strength..

***

The two men pushed her into a dark ward and locked the door behind them..

"Do you think this will work?"

"let's hope"

They both stood by the side of the door guarding it and looking out for whoever wants to trespass.

Olivia banged the door behind her, the room was dark and she couldn't fathom what made them lock her in here..

A loud thunderbolt rocked through the sky further accompanied by a blue lightening that illuminated the room a bit and that was when she realized that she was not alone..

Her eyes rounded in fright, her feet stood rooted to the ground trembling..

"Who's.. there?" She asked nervously, her heart beat was so loud that she could hear it herself.

A tall dark figure emerged from a corner in the ward, he staggered a bit as he walked to the fidgeting lady few metres away from him.

Fear engulfed her whole being, she swiftly turned to the door to run out but was pulled back by the stranger.

Her back touched the wall the next instant and a soft gasp escaped her lips..

He pulled her chin up with his hands and crashed his lips against hers, Olivia felt her body weakened under his sudden assault on her lips..

She tried to peel away from his grip but he was stronger, his hands were firmly around her..

"Please let..me..go" She trembled trying to push him off..

In a swift motion, he swiped her off her feet and moved towards the bed present in the ward..

"Don't struggle.." his husky voice made her shudder, she could smell the faint scent of alcohol coming from him..

"I'll take responsibility" he mumbled once more and took her lips once more..

Tears streamed down from Olivia's eyes when she felt her clothes being ripped off her body..

"I promise to be gentle" his assuring voice came again.

***

Olivia opened her eyes slowly, she looked around her surroundings and her eyes rounded..

Her heart leaped out of her chest recalling what happened few hours ago..

She pulled the man's hands off her waist and climbed down from the bed in fright, she just gave her first time to a complete stranger..

She picked up her clothes that were torn apart but was still manageable..

Olivia wore back her clothes, she glanced briefly at the man who lay on the bed still sound asleep, she tried to take a look at his face but stopped when she heard some commotion just right outside the door..

She gave up the thought and bolted out of the room, the guards who saw her running off tried to stop her but she was long gone..

"Wait a minute ma'am.. it's late..

***

Sandy's eyes were swollen from crying all throughout the night, she was also worried that her daughter was nowhere to be found all through the previous night..

The door suddenly pushed open and Olivia nervously walked in..

"Mum I..

Sandy's eyes teared up once more, she rested her gaze to her daughter who was fidgeting before her..

"before your dad passed away, he kept demanding to see you..but you were so busy that you didn't show up to hear his last words"

Olivia raised her head to meet her mum's burning gaze. "Mum..it's not what you're thinking, I was there but I..

Sandy's gaze fell on Olivia's neck, Olivia who noticed where her mum's gaze was directed at adjusted her collar a bit to conceal the hickey on her neck ..

After what happened between she and the unknown man at the hospital last night, she couldn't bring herself to come home that way..

So she had to stop by at her friend's house in the middle of the night where she passed the night..

Sandy took a step forward to Olivia, she pulled open Olivia's collar and her gaze fell on the numerous hickeys from her neck to her chest..

Olivia's eyes watered "Mum I can explain..

A slap landed on her left cheek which made her face fall to the other side..

"I see you were having a good time while your dad was busy waiting for your arrival..I can't believe that you'd actually do this Olivia!"

Olivia sniffed back, tears flowed down her eyes like endless streams, she didn't miss the look of disappointment that crossed her mother's face..

"Mum please listen to me...

Sandy turned around and left the room, she just lost her husband and now her daughter was already driving her insane..

Olivia fell to her knees, she clutched her chest crying her eyes out, who would have thought that a day like this will befall her?

A young girl about her age rushed up to her and pulled her into a tight soothing embrace..

"I'm so sorry Olivia please don't cry anymore" Bianca, Olivia's best friend cooed but her words didn't seem to have any impact rather it only made Olivia feel worse...

The door to the ward was pushed open after a brief knock, the two men stepped inside to see their young master still asleep..

They exchanged worried gazes, it's past ten in the morning and he wasn't still up yet..

His eyelids moved a bit before it fluttered open to reveal a grey deep set of eyes..

"Boss you're awake!" One of the guards exclaimed in relief..

His thick brows furrowed as his hand went to the back of his head in pain, he tried to recall what happened the previous night but received a headache in return..

"What happened?" he said which sounded more like a groan.

"You were drugged at the party last night boss and we had no other choice than to bring you here"

His gaze fell on the little bloodstain next to him on the bed, memories from last night suddenly started replaying in his mind..

He closed his eyes briefly with a sigh "Where is she?"

"Boss she's gone"

"Find her!" He ordered and came down from the bed..

***

Meanwhile in a large living room a middle aged man and woman sat on one of the fine leather cushions going through a magazine..

"Wow..this dress is so pretty" Anita sterling exclaimed tugging her husband's shirt..

Aldrin sterling yawned and flipped the page to the next item however the magazine was snatched out of their grip by a young girl of about eighteen years of age..

"Alexa!"

Alexa rolled her eyes hard at them, she threw the magazine to the opposite cushion and turned back to them with a glare..

"That's right! it's me! your precious little son didn't come back home all throughout last night.. what are you going to do about that? huh?!"

The two exchanged brief glances, how was that possible? Damien wasn't one who sleeps out..

And just in time a firm footstep was heard and a young lad stepped in with his leather jacket over his shoulder..

"You're just returning from the party? we thought that..

"I'll be in my room and I don't want anyone to bug me" He murmured and left their questions hanging.

***

A week later...

Bianca narrowed her eyes at Olivia who just opened up about her ordeal a week ago.

"You're kidding right?"

Olivia sighed and stood up from Bianca's pink princess bed and picked up her backpack..

She pulled out a white sheet of paper and handed it over to her friend who hesitated for a while before she accepted it..

Bianca went through the sheet and her eyeballs nearly popped out of its sockets when she read the contents of the piece of paper.

"Tell me this is not true Olivia"

Olivia pulled her gaze away from Bianca's intense gaze, she was so ashamed of herself.

"It's true Olivia"

Bianca sprang up to her feet in a hurry, she just couldn't digest the new information she just got..

"How can you be pregnant when you haven't.. you know?"

Olivia snatched the sheet from Bianca and folded it before placing it into her backpack..

"I told you about what happened at the hospital, do you think I'll joke about this? I'm freaking out right now because my mum will literally kill me once she finds out that I'm pregnant for a stranger"

Honestly she was fed up with the little dramas that kept playing around her after her father's uncalled death.

Tears welled up in her amber eyes recalling that awful day, she lost two things precious to her on that same day..

"I'm so scared Bianca, what am I going to do? I have no idea of who it was, I went back to the hospital to make inquiries about him but there was not a single trace of him"

Bianca engulfed Olivia into an embrace, this was just too bad Olivia was only eighteen and will be nineteen in a few months time..

And what about her education? Bianca planted a kiss on Olivia's blonde hair..

"I know a friend Olivia.. tomorrow come over I'll take you somewhere with me"

Olivia sniffed back and nodded in approval, she was willing to do anything if it meant to save her mother's name from disgrace..

***

The next day as agreed the two friends met and headed out, it was a great difficulty trying to convince their mums to let them hang out of town this weekend..

Bianca squeezed Olivia's palm, she noticed how nervous her friend was and she was willing to support with whatever she can..

Olivia who by now already knew why she was here, swallowed hard, she has heard multiple stories of girls who tried to have an abortion only to lose their life in the process..

"Next!" An irritated voice of a lady came through pulling Olivia out of her thoughts..

"That's you Olivia..trust me you can do this"

Olivia nodded and walked into the shabby looking room, she glanced around the poor apparatus laying around..

She instantly knew this was an illegal operation being operated over here..

"Get on the table and spread your legs wide open!" The plump lady barked out at her..

She wore a blue hand gloves over her hands and picked up a long thin metal..

Her gaze fell on Olivia who was still standing still looking at her surroundings..

"Hey missy! will you get on it or not?! I have a lot of things to do!"

Olivia was jolted out of her thoughts, she nervously climbed and laid down on the cold metal table..

"Spread your legs wide open!" The lady lashed out at her once more.

"Excuse me?" Olivia blurted out of the blue which earned a smug smile on the lady's lips..

"Oh! inexperienced I see, you decided to have a taste and look at where it has gotten you to! I'm sure your little boyfriend didn't ask you more than once to open up your legs for him.. now be a good little girl and do so!"

Olivia shut her eyes and did just as the lady had instructed her..

"Good girl!"

"Is this gonna hurt?" Olivia asked nervously, this was the first time she was taking such a step and she was too scared and afraid..

"Are you kidding me?" The lady mocked and to her surprise Olivia sat up and climbed down from the table..

"I'm sorry ma'am but I'm not doing this anymore" she exclaimed and ran out of the room leaving the lady who was cussing behind her..

Bianca who was sitting patiently in front of the door waiting for her friend to come out was startled when Olivia suddenly ran past her..

"Olivia"

"Such a coward! next!"

Bianca stood up to her feet and ran out of the old building in search of her friend, she spotted Olivia walking down the street in a hurry..

"Olivia!"

Olivia stopped on her tracks and waited patiently for Bianca to meet up with her..

"What was that about Olivia? you left in a hurry, did you get rid of it?"

Olivia narrowed her eyes at Bianca "Did you just address this child as it?"

Bianca rolled her eyes at Olivia's naiveness, there was no other choice left than to do this..

"You don't know the father and you're still so young to be a mother, what about school? you still have a long way ahead for you.. come on let's go back" Bianca said softly and took Olivia's hands..

"I don't want to do that Bianca.. I'm very scared.. I can't risk it"

She touched her flat tummy, she couldn't believe that there was a living thing growing inside of her, it still felt surreal to her..

"Maybe it's my ill fate"

Bianca sighed and placed a hand over Olivia's shoulder..

"Fine! just know whatever you do.. I will always have your back"

"Thanks for always being there for me"

***

Olivia closed the door behind her, she walked into the oddly quiet room and was startled to see her mum glaring at her..

Her gaze fell on her opened pink backpack resting on the chair beside her mum and a white sheet dangled on her mum's hand..

"Mum you..

"You're pregnant Olivia.. what more do you have to say?"

Olivia gulped down nervously, she fondled with the hem of her cream colored gown, tears formed at the corner of her eyes, she could also see the tears brimming from her mum's eyes.

"It's just been a week since your father left us for good and you've changed so much! do you realize what you've done?!"

Olivia's cries intensified, she failed, she was a bad daughter but who would hear her out and believe her when she narrates her ordeal with the strange man a week ago..

"I'm sorry mum..I made a mistake"

Sandy stood up and crushed the white sheet in between her palm..

"A mistake huh? go up to your room and get your luggage down you're leaving the city to stay with your aunt and that's final!"

Olivia's brows knotted, was her mum throwing her out? if her mum could say this to her what will the rest of the world say then?

Olivia took in a deep breath and pressed the doorbell, almost immediately a footstep was heard approaching..

The door opened and a lady came into view, she was putting on a blue jean pants and a pink colored top, an apron hung lazily around her waist.

"Hi Mrs Greg"

"Oh hi Olivia.. please come in Bianca was just talking about you"

Mrs Greg's eyes fell on the blue luggage beside Olivia.

"Well come in.." she murmured and moved back for Olivia to step in.

"Honey Olivia is here.." Olivia heard Mrs Greg called out and few seconds later Bianca ran down the stairs hurriedly..

Her gaze fell on Olivia and then to her luggage, it took her only a second to understand everything..

"Come here" Bianca murmured and pulled Olivia into an embrace..

Mrs Greg stood at a corner staring keenly at the two, she wondered what they were up to and why Olivia was at her house with her luggage...

"It's okay..you can stay with us I'm sure mum won't mind"

Mrs Greg cleared her throat to gain their attention, she smiled sweetly at Olivia..

"Dear make yourself comfortable, Bianca I need to see you in the kitchen Now!"

***

Mrs Greg listened patiently to her daughter's explanation.

"At least let her stay here..Olivia is not a burden"

"That girl is pregnant! don't you know how that can affect you and I negatively?"

Bianca placed a palm over her mum's mouth to hush her down..

"Softly mum, she's right outside and please think about it.. do you really want her living on the street?"

"She has a mother and a few relatives right? if it were to be a different situation I might have considered, but honey she's pregnant, this won't be good for you..

"I understand Mrs Greg and Bianca I think your mum is right" Olivia who suddenly came in spoke out..

She had expected this to happen, like seriously no one would like to take in a pregnant lady, if her mum could kick her out on the streets she expected more from outsiders..

"I only dropped by to see Bianca one more time before I leave for Norway to stay with my aunt"

Bianca's jaw dropped in shock, Norway?

"What? but your aunt is so mean, how can your mum let you stay with someone like her?"

Olivia's eyes teared up, she forced a tight smile at her best friend..

"I'll be fine Bianca..don't forget to beep me everyday"

Bianca's eyes welled up in tears, she couldn't believe that this might be the last time she sees Olivia..

They both shared a brief warm hug which left Cassie, Bianca's mum emotional from the sight before her..

Olivia pulled away from Bianca and turned around to leave..

"Olivia" Cassie called out to see Olivia turn to her, she nervously smiled rubbing her palm against her jean pants..

"Yes Mrs Greg?"

"You can stay with us..after all it has always been I and Bianca all along another addition to the family wouldn't hurt"

Bianca and Olivia exchanged brief gazes before they jumped into Cassie's arm..

"Oh! easy girls" She chuckled and planted small kisses on their foreheads..

"Thanks Mrs Greg"

***

Days rolled by so fast into months and the due date for Olivia's delivery came..

Bianca and Cassie could be seen pacing around in front of a door, Olivia was just taken in..

"Mum how long does it take? will she be alright?"

Cassie placed her hands on her daughter's shoulder, she guided her to a metal seat for her to have a sit..

"Relax.. Olivia is a strong girl..she'll do it"

Cassie had to encourage her daughter, she had seen the flame burning in Olivia's eyes countless of times and she could tell that Olivia was a strong girl..

Thirty minutes passed by before the door opened and a doctor stepped out.

"Umm..how's she?"

The doctor smiled at the both of them "Congratulations Mrs Greg.. your daughter just gave birth to a baby boy"

Bianca jumped out of excitement, she was glad that both mother and child were alright..

"Can we see them now?"

***

Olivia sat up when the nurse handed her baby wrapped in a white neat showl..

"It's a boy" Bianca chirmed, she looked obviously elated about the news..

Cassie took a peek at the baby in the showl and was marveled..

"If he were to be a grownup.. I'd have asked him if we had met before" Cassie joked which earned a loud laughter from the girls..

Bianca noticed the look that crossed Olivia's face, though it was for a second, she still managed to read it..

Her son looked nothing like her at all, which only meant his looks were all inherited from his father..

The trio snapped their gaze to the door when it was pushed open to reveal a woman..

Her eyes were teary as she slowly approached them.

"You silly girl..you didn't think it was right to tell me about my grandson" Sandy said with a painful smile..

Olivia pulled her gaze away from her mother's, she didn't want to look at her in the face even though deep down she wanted her mum to give her a tight warm embrace..

Bianca stood up from the bed and stood in front of Sandy..

"And why should she inform you? you clearly threw her out on the street..

"Bianca!" Cassie called out..

Cassie took in a deep breath and faced Olivia who was now sobbing hard..

"Your mum never left you Olivia..she called everyday to check up on you..she sent supplements and most of the meals you had during your pregnancy were also sent by her"

Olivia shifted her gaze back to Cassie, now to think of it she once asked Cassie why her meals taste just like her mum's and now everything made sense..

"Really?"

Sandy walked closer to the bed and took a seat next to Olivia..

"I'm sorry for everything..I only did that for my selfish interest to save our family's name from embarrassment..now I think I'm really an awful mother for doing that..please forgive me my dear"

Olivia took in a deep breath and placed her child in her mum's hands..

"Here is your grandson mum..isn't he cute?" Olivia murmured amidst tears..

Sandy's smile broadened as she stared down at the tiny frame in her arms..

"What should we call him?" Cassie asked stroking Olivia's hair softly..

"Kelvin"

***

Damien raised his phone angrily to his ear, he glared at the two men in front of him..

"Fine, check the records" He ordered and threw his phone on the desk before him..

"Boss we've searched everywhere but we couldn't find her"

"It's been over nine months and I get the same news every single day! it's just a lady, she couldn't possibly be a ghost to vanish into thin air completely!"

The two men swallowed, how could they tell their boss that they didn't get to see her face properly because there was a blackout that night at the hospital..

The only detail they were able to get about her was her glowing amber eyes..

"We will find her soon boss" One of the guards said..

Damien dismissed them and tugged his tie in annoyance, he needed to find that lady because he owed her a lot.

That night was also her first time, and he had promised to take responsibility for his actions but before he woke up, she already disappeared..

***

Olivia placed her baby in the cot after he fell asleep, she walked towards the opened window in her room and stared at the stars that spread across the sky like glitters.

The wind blew gently on her face, she couldn't help but recall everything she passed through in the last couple of month..

"Dad..I wish you were here..your daughter has gone through a lot" She sobbed gently.

She heard a footstep behind her and soon after Bianca placed an arm around her shoulder, both of them smiled and continued staring at the sky..

"So what's your next plan"

Olivia smirked at the question Bianca just asked, she didn't have a reply to that now but only time will tell..

***

Six years later...

Two young men followed a blonde lady around the mall as she shopped for dresses..

She picked out a red gown from a hanger and placed it over her body and immediately a picture of her was taken..

"Wow! so sexy!" One of the guys lustfully remarked zooming in the picture to get a proper look at what he just took..

"Excuse me" A little yet powerful voice called out to the two grown-up men..

They both turned their attention to the little boy who was glaring hard at them with his burning grey orbs..

"And you are?"

"Why are you spying on my mummy?" He asked knotting his brows together..

The two men laughed hard at him, they turned back to the lady who seemed to be searching for something or someone perhaps..

"Run along child! she's also our mummy" One of them joked and they both laughed out loud..

And in the next minute their laughter died down when the kid pushed them down from the stool they were both standing on, they fell out of their hiding place and came tumbling down before the lady they were spying on..

"And that will teach you not to spy on people!"

The lady raised her head when she heard the little boy's voice..

"Kelvin"

Olivia called out and walked towards her son "They were spying on you and I had to teach them a quick lesson!"

Olivia's lips formed an 'o' shape, she turned back to the two men who were still groaning on the floor..

"Definitely serves you two right!" She picked up the phone that one of them was trying to reach and as expected they took pictures of her trying out every dresses she picked out today.

She deleted the photos and stepped her foot on their hands..

"Don't try to mess with my mummy again!" Kelvin warned..

Bianca gasped when she saw the little commotion going on..

When she got nearer, she shut her eyes briefly, this mother and son duo were really so protective of each other.

"What happened?"
