Despite All Odds »»»Episode 51 ********** Joyce forced a smile to cover-up her teary eyes as Barbra walked into the room alongside Ashley carrying a basket-full of food and fruits. “Congrats” Barbra beamed. “Thank you, God bless you” came the weak reply. “awww….so cute, so this is the baby that nearly made you go through knives? Stubborn pretty girl.” Barbra joked picking up Joyce’s baby from the bed. “Aburo? Isn’t she cute? Who does she look like?” Barba nudged her sister who looked bored already. “Her mother nao!” Ashley snapped. She felt like snatching that baby from her sister, throw it into the air to die there, then throw punches at her sister till she starts behaving normal. Her anger was kindled when she learnt earlier from Cassandra, that her sister was the one paying the hospital bills and all, which ‘normal woman’ would do that? “Thank you for everything, God bless you.” Joyce said in a voice close to whisper. The woman before her was indeed an angel, she still showed her love and care after all she made her go through. That woman does not deserve what she went through. For the first time, she regretted all her actions. But that isn’t her delima, her main concern is how her child turned out to be a girl- plan number one failed, what if Williams come back from his so-called business trip and decides to do a test? The child definitely isn’t his, and he sends her packing?- plan number two failing, or what if John refuses to accept her and her child? That would be a disaster. “when are they letting you go?” Barbra’s excited voice startled her. “This evening.” “Wow, so we came on time then, its past four already.” Joyce’s heart missed multiple beats. Going back to that house was a dreaded motive, having Sasha and Cassandra taunt her continuously for giving birth to a female child wasn’t a good idea. The look of triumph plastered on Sasha’s face when she’d be sent out of the house was not imaginable. Only God could see her through- she thought. ::::::::::::::::::: All the medical team in the room turned to look at Williams as he strolled into the room on shaky legs, they had sent for him to come have a last glance of his daughter before they take her away. “I’m…we’re very sorry Mr Williams.” Dr Krishna spoke up. “Okay.”Williams whispered his eyes on the doctor that was busy on his daughter. He took a position close to Sasha’s head, her face was pale and her lips pursed. Her dark long dreads looked neat and set, her face still held that subborn look of a rebellious child who had no respect for anybody except her Creator. Slowly he wiped the tears stealing down his cheeks. “she doesn’t need them anylonger, take ‘em off.” He mumbled, he was referring to the tubes and wires going in and out her body. “I was about to do that when you came in.” Dr Krishna replied as he started to take off the equipments. “Doc, but you gave me your word.” Williams said accusingly. “But I said I was not sure.” the doctor paused, how was he going to convince this man who knew nothing at all about Medical terms? “It was all your fault, how professional does it sound that the oxgen tank fell out of place?” Williams snarled, he really felt like giving the Indian a complete ‘red head’. “Nehi,- no, it wasn’t…” Dr Krishna stopped talking when they heard a machine beep. “What was that?” The beeping sound came louder and faster indicating abnormality, Dr Krishna darted to the machine fixed to Sasha’s chest. His eyes popped out when he saw the indication that her heart was beating faster than normal with an approximation of 250 beats per minute. He turned to glance at his Medical team, each face had turned red; he felt something push his hand off, next he saw her struggling weakly-mouth opened gasping for breathe, one hand holding her chest tightly- the whole team rushed to her. “Oxygen.” he cried rushing to grab the tube almost colliding into another doctor trying to get at the same time. Soon they were fixing it to her face, but her free hand yanked it off, she was still gasping for breathe. It turned into a battle of the strongest as they struggled with the gasping child, for seconds that seemed like hours, they were able to fix it on. All the Medical team including Williams were thrown into panic as they watched the machine indicate her heart beat was reducing drastically, they all let out a sigh in unision as the indication read ‘Heart beat- Normal’. Williams gazed at his daughter’s face, it was no longer white- he could see life flowing back into her entire being, the drama that just played before his eyes was indeed a Miracle. “What is a Miracle?” He muttered. “A Miracle is your daughter is going to live Mr Williams” Dr Krishna smiled patting his back as he led Williams out of the room to enable the Team do their job.
