Oh My Saviors

Chapter 56: Welcome Baby Boy

Khanza has been transferred to the Intensive treatment room, although the blood transfusion has been done and the critical period has passed, he is still not conscious. Nic peeked at Khanza who was still lying with various medical devices adorning his body from the round glass stamped at the entrance.

Nic looked at Khanza with a stern look, unexpectedly, it turned out that his best friend bore this heavy burden, 'Za why didn't you tell me earlier that you were pregnant. I'm honestly confused, now.'

"You don't want to see your baby?" admonish Clarisa who also stared at Nic's gaze centrally.

"Baby?!" Nic instead repeated Clarisa's words with a puzzled look.

"Follow me." Clarisa leads the way, and Nic follows behind her. Clarisa entered a room with warm air, with many Incubator tubes lined up neatly, her steps stopped in one of the Incubator tubes containing a baby boy with eyes on a white bandage lid.

Nic stared at the reddish-white baby with a still on her belly button, "Your baby." Said Clarisa, who saw Nic staring at the baby with an unreadable look.

"Why Nic? You don't want to admit to him?" Clarisa catches Nic's giraffe as if she doesn't want to touch the baby.

"No, so. I just-," Nic sighed heavily, "Khanza once told me, if she ever had a husband-and-wife relationship with someone else, before me." Nic turned his face the other way, there was a sense of disbelief that arose in Nic's heart, making him hesitate just to touch the baby even once.

"And you believe?" Clarisa stared in disbelief. Nic just kept quiet while looking down at the tiny baby's round cheeks.

Clarisa let out a breath of air, "it's easy Nic, do a DNA test between you and this baby to make sure it's yours or not." Nic seems to weigh Clarisa's proposal, and he agrees.

Nic tried to touch the reddish cheeks with his fingers, the baby wriggled slowly, feeling the touch of the Father. Her feelings warm up instantly, as the baby tries to reach for Nic's index finger on her cheek with her tiny lips, perhaps she thinks Nic's finger is***** milk.

"Let's get out Nic, visiting time is up. This baby still needs intensive care he was born prematurely so there will likely be other problems that arise, so he needs special care." Nic and Clarisa came out of the room.

"Nic I need a sample of your DNA, can I have your nails or your hair."

"Sure, how much do you need?"

"A little bit." Nic cut out a few strands of her hair and gave them to Clarisa.

"Thank you for your help Clarisa." Clarisa who was about to pass, then looked back.

"He's my brother, you don't have to say thank you, like I'm a stranger to him." Nic is stunned to hear Clarisa's answer, since when did Khanza and her relationship improve? Why doesn't Nic know about it?

"You and Khanza ain't-?"

"The last couple of months our relationship has been pretty good." Clarisa.

The last few months? This is what Nic caught from Clarisa's words, so actually this woman from the beginning already knew where Khanza was, Nic sighed resignedly.

"So you know where Khanza's been living."

"Yes, when we met last time, I just came home from Khanza's place. I accidentally met him while volunteering for the medical team for the flood victims." Nic is upset by himself, why is he who is specifically looking for the existence of Khanza can not find it at all, while Clarisa can find it by chance, it is magical.

[Nic where are you? Ren said you didn't get into the office today, you know Ken's done a lot of work he couldn't possibly handle it all.] Shelia said at length.

"I know Mam, but I'm on some important business, besides I'm out of town right now." Nic said honestly.

[Huh, what important business is it that gets you out of town in this state Nic?] Shelia sounded astonished.

"Khanza was admitted to Mam's hospital, and her condition is still critical."

[Hah Khanza?!] Shelia shrieked loudly in surprise, Richard's voice was heard.

"Yes Khanza Mam, she-," Nic paused his words, "it's hard to explain Mam, we'll talk again later, the doctor called me." Nic ended his phone call.

Actually no one called him, only he was still confused about how to explain Khanza's pregnancy and the child he had born, even the child was still not clear it was Nic's child or not. Nic sighed as he put the phone back in his pants pocket.

Nic touched his stomach that felt sore, since yesterday his stomach was filled with nothing even he forgot at all that he also needed to eat, Nic walked in front of Khanza's nursery, Khanza, again he looked inside, hoping Khanza had woken up and smiled at him. But again the shadow faded, seeing the fact that Khanza was still lying with his eyes closed.

"Eat, you haven't eaten from yesterday, have you?" Clarisa presented a white plastic lunchbox with a bottle of mineral water to Nic, who was immediately responded to with pleasure by the man.

The timing is right, now Nic is starving. Nic and Clarisa then sit in the iron chair available there, Nic directly eat the contents stored in the lunchbox with greed, if you are hungry it feels all the food tastes better.

"You know Khanza wants to isolate himself, he just wants to live alone with his baby, he's trying his best to hide from you guys." Clarisa's words make Nic mute.

"You know why? It's all for your sake, Nicholas, he loves you. He wants you to be happy with the woman you love." Added Clarisa.

"I mean Cherry?"

"Who else, when are you getting married?" ask Clarisa.

"Our relationship is long over." Answer Nic lightly.

"It's over, but why? Aren't you engaged?" Clarisa seems interested in this topic.

"We are no match, for what continues, after all there are people who love Cherry more than anyone." Nic said while putting the former food and switched to drinking water.

"So, what now, if that kid was really your son would you be responsible?"

"Of course, I'll be the happiest and most welcoming of all."

"If it wasn't your son?" ask Clarisa again.

Nic fell silent, "if it wasn't my son, then I'd be the first Dad for him, like Papi Daren!"
