LOVE AGAIN

“It’s me , they are not here, the doctor asked me to come let you know, if you wish to remove the blind fold now or still wait for them”the nurse stated.

I was disappointed but had to be patient.

“I will wait..”.

“Alright Mr Prince”.

“Please, nurse, are you there?”

“Yes Mr prince?”

“Can you call them to know if everyone is okay?”I suggested.

“We did call but it wasn’t going through, if you are very excited and impatient, you should remove it. The nurses and surgeons will be here with you , when they come , they will be very happy to see you as a surprise, it’s still the same thing”.

She spoke softly.

I sighed deeply. She is right about one thing. I am inpatient and excited. It’s been a long time since I saw the light, the sky , my parents, Zoey and my Valerie.

“Alright I think i’m ready”.

I heard footsteps approaching, must be the surgeon and nurses.

“We are all here , so can we now lose it? We promise you are going to love your face again”the nurse assured me.

“Just a minute”

I paused and said a short prayer.

“Okay, now I am ready”.

They loosened every piece and my face was free

“Open your eyes”the surgeon said.

My eyes were still closed when I started rolling down my cheeks, I was nervous and praying to see again.

Slowly I opened my lids with tears embedded in my eyes, the light shining through my eyes made me tear up. Then the face I saw wasn’t my reflection as they said , it was Val sitting on a wheelchair.

She had tears all over her face smiling at me, I was surprised they lied to me and granted me my wish.

My eyes were still fixed on Val as if I was just seeing a person for the first time in my life, admiring my beautiful wife.

Zoey ran and hugged me.

“Brother you can see again”.

She ran her hands all over my face”.

“It’s smooth and your face again!”

She said happily, I smiled at her, my eyes went back to focus on Val, something was wrong, I was studying her closely.

She’s in tears but smiling, she looked tired and faint like she ran all the way home, also why the wheel chair?

“Angel? Are you okay?”

“Yes, it’s your fault anyway”.

She smiled weakly. I don’t understand if it’s my fault. Did I put her in this situation? What happened to her?

Debra pushed her wheelchair towards me, as they got closer I realised she was carrying a baby, my feet went cold and my heart raced.

They got to where I was sitting and Debra smiled at me.

I looked at the baby, very tiny and trying to open his eyes a little bit.

I couldn’t control my emotions. I hugged Val and planted kisses all over her face crying with my forehead pressed on hers.

The baby started crying and she handed him over to me. I was so scared , he looked so small but I couldn’t help but hold my baby.

“Frog Prince is now a crying Frog dad!”Zoey teased me.

I kissed Val passionately while holding my baby, who seemed to enjoy the chemistry and kept quiet but as soon as we stopped he cried again.

The doctors and nurses congratulated us, beaming in smiles.

Valerie requested the baby to breastfeed him, I panicked because the doctors are still with us.

“Not here Angel, people are watching”

I cautioned her.

“It’s not yours anymore, it’s a baby’s, so he needs it now”.

“We should excuse you now”.

one of the doctors suggested.

They all left and Val started breastfeeding the baby.

I was sitting besideVal admiring how my son grabbed the boobs with both hands, he is a true don of his father.

“I am sorry I wasn’t there to support, how hard was the labour?”

She punched my shoulder.

“Ouch, what’s that for?”

I asked amused pretending that the punch was brutal.

She punched it again, I had to hold her and Zoey laughed at the drama.

“It’s nothing compared to what I saw in there, but thank God, it was smooth as the nurses said, for me I almost gave up my ghost”.

“Oh my dear wife, your ghost shall not be given up”I said sweetly and kissed her.

“Well from now on no sex till a year”.

I was shocked beyond words.

“Excuse me Mrs Valerie Norman”.

“You heard me Mr Prince Norman, it’s a decision”.

She said and pouted.

“A horrible decision! Mother?”

I called Debra unaware they closed my eyes in embarrassment.Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

She too was shocked I called her out and with the name mother.

She came to us and hugged me.

“Don’t worry she won’t do that”.

Zoey came and looked at the baby as if she was studying him.

“Baby frog is not as annoying as his dad, so I will call him sunshine!”

I frowned at her.

“I am sure he will like the name Zoey”.

Valerie laughed and petted her hair.

Just then my phone ranged, it was Daniel.

I took it from where I dropped it, for months I haven’t been able to do a video call or anything.

So I called him back but video call.

He answered.

“Wow, what’s going on there?”

I asked, seeing them in a different location, they went hiking?

“You can see us!”

Daniel snapped happily.

Noona came and peeked into the camera, her smile has never been that genuine.

“Prince, I am so happy for you, where’s Val?”

I put Val on the camera, they scared when they saw the bay.

“Congrats man!”

“Aww he is so cute,”.

Noona gushed.

I zoomed the camera on the baby for a better view then brought it back to my face.

“Man, you are a father, how nervous are you?”

Daniel teased.

“I don’t think I am nervous anymore , but not anymore”.

I replied with a smile.

“Thanks Dan”.

“For what?”

“Your help and support for us. Especially Valerie”.

He shook his head. ” I want the best for her and you are the best, also I need your advice I think I will be in trouble five months from now”.

“What?”

I asked suspiciously.

“Well… I…”

Noona grabbed the phone from him.

“He will be expecting our boys, three boys”.

Noona put the camera on her tummy and laughed at Daniel.

I was surprised and laughed awkwardly, is that what he was about to say, I wonder if those policemen find out the culprit behind my misfortune.

“Man I am so not ready and three of my personalities? That’s a lot to take”Daniel broke into my thoughts.

I laughed at him and turned to Valerie.

“Angel, Daniel is expecting three boys”.

Valerie looked up with eyes widened, I laughed and nodded.

“Right, that’s the best reaction to this news”.

“Oh my Goodness, tell Noona to be strong, and tell Daniel to shut the hell up!”

Val instructed.

“What did she say?”Daniel asked.

“She said congrats”.

I replied.

“Also I have good news, Luke is dead”.

I noticed Valerie’s shock, she looked hurt by that news but her mood switched immediately she heard he was actually behind the attack.

“He was killed by Kamsy unfortunately for Kamsy she didn’t make it out of the street, she was so terrified she made it obvious for a local security to suspect her, he asked her questions and noticed the blood stains on her body, after the torture she confess killing her husband and took them to his dead rotten body in a hidden basement, she is on death roll as I am speaking to you now, so pathetic”.

The story was like a movie to us, I just couldn’t believe Kamsy would ever, I exchanged glances with Valerie.

“What.. what of the baby? Do you have any information?”.

Valerie asked, swimming in tears, she was emotional about losing her first love and friend but I felt nothing. In fact I wished they died more painfully.

“Well sadly she killed her baby before going for the father, I am happy everything went well, God fought for you Val. You are a kind hearted lady and I am lucky to know you in person”.

Valerie smiled and dried her eyes.

“Thanks Daniel”.

“Well our wedding is this fall, we will come over to Australia”.

He smiled and Noona pecked her. After that we exchanged goodbyes and he hung up.

“I know it hurts to lose them but…”

“I am not crying because of them, I am just happy I didn’t end up with Luke”she sobbed uncontrollably.

I smiled and hugged her.

“I love you”.
