Chapter 3

"I don't know what to do" Becky retorted,

"hmm, we need to do something," Frank said, "do you have money?" he asked,

"Sure, I have small money In my bank account," Becky said,

"Let's go and consult the doctor to know how old Is the pregnancy," Frank said, and two of them stood up and headed to the nearby hospital where It was discovered that the pregnancy Is ten weeks, and the doctor demanded five thousand dollars, and she doesn't have up to half of the money the doctor required, and two of them returned home, and when Frank saw that she was worried, Frank said, "I'm giving you my words today, I will father the child, and I trust my parents, they will take care of you" Frank assured her,

"What will happen to your education," Becky asked,

"My parents have been expecting this for a long time, I'm the only child, and they need more kids from me," Frank said,

"How do we explain the situation to them?" Becky asked,

"You don't owe them any explanation, leave everything to me, I will handle It," Frank said, and listen, as from today, make sure you have enough rest," he said,

"Thank you," Becky said, and she returned to her room, while Frank went to his friend's house,

Becky was with Frank and his parents till her stomach started bulging out, and Frank's parents called her, "Becky, I can see some changes In you" Frank's mom said, "tell me what's the matter, Is It what I'm thinking?" she asked,

"I don't know what's In your mind?" Becky said,

"You seem pregnant," Frank's mom said,

Becky couldn't alter a word until Frank came, and his mom repeated the same thing she said, "she seems pregnant" or am I accusing you wrongly" she asked,

"You are right mom, we had unprotected sex when she visited me, and believe me she didn't tell me early, we would have found a solution, but I got to know when she came back from school, and I don't know how to explain the situation of the pregnancy to you" Frank explained, while Becky was sobbing, and she said, "I'm sorry ma'am"

"It's okay, you will be cared for, If you need anything, don't hesitate to ask, but I don't want you to Intimidate my son, we don't have much money, but we will care for you with the little we had" Frank's mom explained,

"You can move Into Frank's room," Frank's dad said,

"let her stay In her room, I can be going to her room," Frank said,

"Why?" "are you not the father of the unborn child," his father asked,

"I didn't deny that, but I insist she stays In her room because my friends are always In my room, and I don't want her to be embarrassed" Frank explained,

"Then let your friends know that you are no more single," his mom said,

"I can't do that for now, maybe If I'm done with my studies," Frank said,

"Becky, did you agree with him?" his dad asked,

"I'm fine with his decision" Becky retorted,

"Okay soothe yourself," Frank's parents said,

The professor always sends money Into Becky's bank account for her upkeep, and the professor's wife wants to know why Becky was not coming back to school, and Becky Intentionally switches off her phone, she doesn't want to know anything about the professor, she wanted to focus on her relationship with Frank and her pregnancy, meanwhile, the professor was worried about Becky, her conditions, and what's happening to her life, and he approached one of her close associates In the school, and he asked, "did you hear anything from Becky" he asked,

"Not at all" Becky's classmate named Olivia retorted,

"have you tried calling her on phone?" the professor asked,

"Yeah, I tried her phone number severally, but the line was switched off" Olivia retorted,

"Can you check on her?" the professor asked,

"how will that be possible, she doesn't live around" Olivia retorted,

"Where do you live?" the professor asked,

"I lived In Austin, while Becky lives In Amarillo" Olivia retorted,

"Amarillo" he repeats,

"Yeah" Olivia retorted,

"Do you know her address In Amarillo?" the professor asked,

"Not at all, we didn't discuss anything of such" Olivia retorted, "and why are you so much bothered about her," she asked,

"I'm not bothered but just feel concerned," the professor said, "anyway, you can go for now, I will see you later to dialogue on what we can do to reach her," he said, and he returned home, but unable to concentrate.

Becky continue to help them until she was due, and when her water broke, and when she saw It, she called Frank on the phone because he has gone to school, and Frank called his mom, and she was rushed to the hospital, and Becky was wheeled to the labor room where she was attended to with a group of doctors, and It was discovered that she won't be able to push the baby out, and It was discovered that she was carrying twins, the previous scan didn't show up the second baby, and she will have to go under the surgical knife before she can deliver the babies which Are cesarean operation, and Frank wasn't around, but his father called him and explained the whole situation on the phone, and he said, "dad, please, do everything within your power to safe Becky and the babies, I'm right on my way coming" Frank said,

"What of your exams?" Frank's dad asked,

"I have two papers left, and I will come for that later, Becky Is Important to me more than any other things" he explained, "can I talk to her?" he asked,

"Sure, let me give her the phone," his dad said, and he walked Into the labor room, and he gave the cell phone to Becky, and he said, "Frank wants to talk to you"

"hello babe," Becky said, In a low voice"

"I'm on my way coming," Frank said,

"I have the belief that you can do It, be strong, and you will make It alive," he said,

"Thank you, Frank," Becky said, and she returned the cell phone to Frank's dad, and Frank's dad, said, "we will be expecting you" he ended up with the phone conversation,

Frank's dad walked Into the doctor's office, and asked, "any progress"

"Yeah, we are preparing for the cesarean operation, In a few minutes, we will start" the doctor explained,

"A few hours later, the doctor came, and he said, "congratulations, she has a set of twins, but she lost a lot of blood, and she will need a blood transfusion, we will need three pints of blood to restore her, and the blood bank has two pants of her blood group, and we needs to get one more"

"Can I go to other blood banks?" Frank said,

"Well, you might be lucky to get it because her blood group type Is not common In the blood bank, you can try" the doctor explained,

"Let me try," Frank said, and he took his father's car key, and he started going from one blood bank to another, from one hospital to another until fuel dried up from the car, and he drops the car along the roadside, and he took a taxi, going from one hospital to another, from one blood bank to another till his father called him to come back,

Meanwhile, the doctor asked, "where Is her husband that went to look for her blood group type?"

"We're still expecting him," Frank's mom said,

"Come with me, let's find a solution of how to safe this girl," the doctor said,

"Will she survive?" Frank's father asked,

"She has little chance to survive but If we have her blood group type, she might make It" the doctor explained,

"How Are the babies doing?" Frank's mom asked,

"They were doing fine, but we need to revive their mom at all costs" the doctor replied,

"What's the way forward?" Frank's dad asked,

"Can two of you donate your blood for her to survive?" the doctor asked,

"Yeah, If it matches" Frank's dad retorted,

"Fine, two of you should come with me to the laboratory," the doctor said, and two of them followed the doctor to the laboratory where the blood test was carried out, and to the surprise of the doctor, Frank's parents, they got to know that Frank's dad's blood group type matchups with Becky's blood group type, but when they check the blood levels, It was lower than what they can extract, and the doctor said, "no luck, your blood levels Is low, It can't be extracted, we need to continue searching rapidly," the doctor said, and they came out with the sorrowful mind,

Frank's mom called him, "hello mom," he said, "how Is Becky?" Frank asked,

"Her condition Is getting worse" Frank's mom replied, "how far have you gone, and where are you?" Frank's mom asked,

"I got it, but expensive, and I got It In a stressful manner, but I'm getting closer to the hospital" Frank explained,

"How are the babies doing, have you seen them?" he asked,

"The doctor said they were doing fine, but I haven't seen them," Frank's mom said,

"I'm getting closer to the hospital entrance," Frank said,

"see you soon son," his mom said, and she ended up with the phone conversations, and she stood up walking towards the entrance of the hospital, and she saw Frank coming with a blood bank official preservative box accompanied by the medical officer, and they walked fast and entered Into the doctor's office, and the medical officer deliver the box to the doctor, and the doctor took the box to the laboratory where the blood was tested, and It matches up.
