The one week James had given Emily passed quickly. Each day he watched her, waiting to see if she would change her mind. But Emily held her ground. She fed the baby, cleaned the house, and went about her duties, but she never once mentioned the hospital. On the seventh day, James sat in the living room while Emily bathed the baby. When she came out, holding the child wrapped in a soft towel, James cleared his throat. “Emily,” he began quietly, “I gave you one week. That week has ended. Are you ready now to take this child to the hospital?” Emily did not answer immediately. She carried the baby to the bedroom, dressed him, and then returned to the sitting room. James was still waiting. “Emily, I am talking to you,” he said firmly. She sighed. “James, how many times will I say it? I am not going anywhere. Stop pressing me. I will not do any DNA test. I will not do any hospital test. You are the father of this child, and that is final.” James leaned forward, trying to remain calm. “If I a...
Lily arrived at Dr. John’s house just before sunset. The streets were quiet, and the air was soft with the smell of the evening breeze. She carried a small bag in one hand and used the spare keys he had given her to unlock the door. Inside, the apartment felt warm and familiar. She walked to the kitchen without removing her shoes, already thinking of the meal she was about to prepare. It had to be perfect—his favorite food, made with care. She believed that tonight could change everything for her.
She moved through the kitchen slowly, setting out the ingredients and humming softly. The sound of the knife against the cutting board filled the room. As she stirred the pot, steam curled into the air, carrying the rich smell of spices. She imagined the smile on Dr. John’s face when he walked in and saw her effort. The table was set neatly at the dining area, plates and glasses lined up as if they were expecting important guests. By the time she finished cooking, the apartment smelled like comfort and home.
When the food was ready, Lily arranged it on the dining table and stepped back to admire her work. Everything looked inviting. She went to the bathroom to take a warm shower, letting the water run over her skin. She wanted to look fresh and soft, like a woman ready to welcome her man after a long day. Wrapping herself in a towel, she returned to the bedroom, slipped into a delicate nightdress, and went to wait for him in the living room. Her heart was calm but expectant.
It was almost 8 p.m. when Dr. John returned. The moment he opened the door, the aroma of the food rushed to meet him. He stopped in the doorway and smiled. “Lily, what have you done? This smells amazing!” Without even changing from his work clothes, he went straight to the dining table. “You’ve outdone yourself,” he said, pulling out a chair. He picked up his spoon and began to eat as though he had been starving all day. Lily sat across from him, watching him eat with quiet satisfaction.
When the meal was finished, Dr. John leaned back in his chair and let out a deep sigh of contentment. “Lily, you’ve made me so happy tonight. This is exactly what I needed.” He stood up, walked to her side, and k.issed her forehead. Then he disappeared into the bathroom to take his shower. The sound of running water filled the apartment, and Lily’s mind began to beat fast. This was the moment she had been preparing for. She could not let it slip away.
Later, when they both lay on the bed, Lily began to move closer to him. She touched his arm gently and whispered his name. Her voice was soft, almost pleading. She wanted them to make love. She wanted this to happen. She needed it to happen. But Dr. John turned to her with a calm smile and said, “Lily, I care about you too much to cross that line. I want us to keep our relationship pure until we are married. We cannot make love until then.” His voice carried no hesitation, only quiet conviction.
Lily’s face fell. “But… we are going to be married,” she said. “Why not now? We love each other. Why wait?” Dr. John shook his head. “Because I’m a Christian, and I believe intimacy should be shared only after marriage. I’ve kept myself this way for a reason, and I want our first time to be special—on our wedding night.” His words were gentle, but they were firm. “Please understand me, Lily. This is how I choose to love you.”

She tried again, this time with more emotion. “Dr. John, I want to feel close to you. I want to give you all of me. Can’t we make just one exception? Make love to me just once.” But he took her hand in his and k.issed it. “I love you, Lily. And I want to be patient. Waiting will not take anything away from us. It will only make that day more beautiful. Trust me on this.” His voice was steady, leaving no room for argument. Lily’s heart sank. This was not the answer she had hoped for.
Dr. John soon drifted off to sleep, his breathing deep and peaceful. But Lily sat up on the bed, staring into the darkness. Her plan had failed, and the weight of that failure pressed heavily on her chest. She thought about the life growing inside her, about the days slipping away, about how easily her secret could come into the light. She pulled her knees to her chest and wrapped her arms around them, feeling a sharp sting in her eyes. A tear slipped down her cheek.
“What if he finds out that I’m pregnant for another man before I can pin the pregnancy on him? My God, I’m finished.” Lily wept.
She whispered into the silence, almost to herself, “If he sleeps with me, it will be easier to pin the pregnancy on him. But now, he has refused.” The words felt heavier now than when she had first thought of them. She stayed awake for a long time, listening to the quiet sounds of the night, wondering what the next day would bring, and how much longer she could keep hiding the truth.
She moved through the kitchen slowly, setting out the ingredients and humming softly. The sound of the knife against the cutting board filled the room.
