Episode 4.

Everything worked like magic from  then on. It was as if the promise had been waiting for that prayer she prayed that day in the sitting room for it to become reality. Or perhaps, it was God's appointed time already.

Four months interlaced with divine peace and rest passed and in the fifth month after that wonderful encounter she had with God, Blessing and her husband were in their car, on their way to the hospital for their ultrasound scan.

As the car sped forward on the road and buildings zipped past her, Blessing remembered the days she spent in the bathroom, waiting for the results from the pregnancy test kit she used to buy. A smile broke out on her lips when she thought of how secretly she had done it that even Samuel had not known.
The hospital car park was a lot freer today and Samuel pulled up to a space near the hospital's sliding doors. He turned to her and saw the smile on her face. He smiled and asked 'Why are you smiling?'
Blessing laughed. 'Are you seriously going to ask me that question again? You've asked like hundred times in the past few days!'
Samuel smiled and nodded. 'Fair enough but maybe I want to hear the answer again.'
The joy in blessing's heart knew no bounds. 'Because I'm six weeks pregnant with our first baby and two more are on their way.'
It sounded like music in Samuel's ears and his eyes turned a little bit dreamy.
Blessing slapped him playfully on his chest. 'Reality calls, sweetheart.' she snickered. 'We're at the hospital for a scan.'
'Right!' he snapped back to reality. 'Let's go.'
In the waiting room Blessing's mind was very busy. She chuckled loudly after some time. Samuel looked up from his phone.
'Isn't it funny that we're here for a scan when we know already?'
Samuel furrowed his brows. 'Know what?'
Blessing rolled her eyes. 'That I'm going to have a son first. That the pregnancy I'm carrying is a boy. There's really no need for the scan, right? Like God already told me Joshua, Jeremiah, Jemimah. It's a sequence. So Joshua is coming first.'
Samuel nodded. 'Yeah, but it's important to know that our baby is healthy. And I want Jemimah to come first so you may be wrong.'
She snorted. 'Of course, I'm right. Joshua's coming first.'

Now, in the doctor's office,the doctor calmly explained the process and told them everything they needed to know. 'See this screen,  Mrs Delosa? It shows what's in your tummy. So pay close attention.'
Blessing was excited. She couldn't wait to see the baby boy forming in her stomach. Samuel was excited too. He dropped Blessing's bag that he had been carrying and held on to her hand.

On the screen was a figure that neither she nor her husband could make out.  It seemed to be a coalition of lumps and Blessing didn't understand. Didn't the doctor say she was to see a baby?
'Doctor,' Samuel asked,r his wife's mind. 'I don't understand.'
The doctor looked a little bit thoughtful. He came closer to the screen and stroked his chin. His lips stretched out in a smile as a realization hit him.
'Mrs Delosa,' he turned back to her. 'You're going to have a set of  triplets.'

They weren't ready for the news.
Samuel's knees weakend and he collapsed on a chair, too stunned to speak. Blessing had to replay the doctor's last statement in her head three more time before she understood. And when she finally did, she began to cry tears of joy.
