CHAPTER ONE
IN THE BEGINNING

Mansa cannot hide the great joy she feels in her heart after receiving a call from her doctor. She sits quietly waiting for her husband as she fixes her gaze solidly on the door in front of her. Minutes later, she hears someone at the door. She sits up.
The door opens, a thin tall handsome gentleman enters in his finest suit. That is John, Mansa's husband. She pounced on him, in the struggle they both fall into the opposite sofa. Now, John has no idea what is going on. He is so lost and dumbfounded. To add to his confusion, Mansa begins hitting him repeatedly on his chest. Eventually, he speaks out;
John: Mansa, what's going on? Are you ok?
Mansa: I am not fine, gentleman. How can I be fine after what you did to me?
John makes a face, indicating how surprised he was.
John: What did I ever do to you, honey?
Mansa chuckles and fires back.
Mansa: What! You don't know what you've done Mr? O my God! How will you even know?
Now John is awestruck. What did he do this time, he said to himself? Mansa continues;
You put a baby in my stomach, Mr John Adu Mensah!
John jumps out of the chair in disbelief.
John: (He exclaimed joyfully ) What did you just say, young woman?
Mansa: ( with a broad smile and a calm tone) You put a baby inside me, my handsome tall young man.
John: Yes, Yes, yes!!! We did it, my love. This calls for a celebration!
Mansa: Nooo!
John: Yeees!
Narrator: John carries his wife as they make their way into their bedroom. What happened next, only the adults will understand.
Expecting a child is a marvellous experience for any...
