A few minutes later, Collins said, "can you give me a bottle of water?"

"Sure," Maianna said, and she stood up and walked Into the kitchen while Collins followed her, and when Marianna opened the refrigerator, meanwhile, Collins was closer to the trash plastic, and he saw an empty pack of abortion drugs, and he took It and he read the leaflet, and he asked, "what Is this doing In your house, Is this what you bought from the pharmacy, when did you take this poisonous medicine, because of what?" Collins asked, and he went to her father's room, and said, "sir, Marianna Is dying, she took poison a few minutes ago, and he brought out his cell phone, and called his friend to bring his car,

Marianna was rushed to a nearby specialist hospital, and Collins showed the doctors the empty pack of abortion drugs, and when the doctors saw the pack, her Information was taken from her dad, and she started feeling the abortion pain In her stomach, and she was taking to the Intensive care where she was attended, and all the drugs were flushed out from her body systems, and ten hours later, the fetus regained their strength, and It was discovered that she was carrying twin babies, meanwhile Collins was with her all along,

When Marianna heard that she was carrying twin babies, she burst Into tears, and she said, "everything has gone sore" how am I going to survive in this heavy responsibility?" Marianna asked,

"Who Is the father?" Collins asked,

"their father Is deceitful, but I don't want you to attack him" Marianna retorted,

"How can I attack the person I did not know, or Is It the guy that I saw you with In the night last two weeks?" Collins asked,

"yeah, but leave him, let the law of karma judge him," Marianna said while sobbing,

"Did he promise you marriage?" Collins asked,

"not at all, but he deceive me with his sweet talk and care" Marianna explained,

"what happened that you wanted to abort the pregnancy?" Collins asked,

"he got married three weeks ago" Marianna retorted,

"are you for real?" Collins asked,

Marianna burst Into tears, and her dad came In to check on her, and he said, "It's okay, when you are discharged from the hospital, we will find solutions"

Marianna was discharged from the hospital five days later, and the fetus was sound and fine, and Collins took her to her dad's house in a taxi and they entered her room, sat down on the bed sobbing, and he sat beside her, and asked, "are you alright?"

"I'm not fine" Marianna retorted, "how am I going to cope with the heavy responsibility of twin babies?" she asked, "hmmm, this Is a serious matter, I still need to terminate this pregnancy, I can't see myself as a mother of bastard kids," she said,

"I will father the kids," Collins said,

"On what ground?" Marianna asked, "we are just childhood friends, and you are a gangsta without a solid and regular job, no regular Income, you don't have a shelter" Marianna explained, "how are you going to care for me and the twin kids?" she asked, "please let me do what's Is In my mind," she said, and she continues sobbing.

"I won't allow you to do that," Collins said,

"do you have the resources to care for me and the babies?" Marianna asked,

"I will get a double job" Collins retorted,

"What about the gangsta stuff?" Marianna Inquired,

"I will reform myself" Collins retorted,

"how do you mean?" Marianna asked,

"we will relocate to Chicago or New York where we can be secured, I think we can make a better living over there" Collins retorted,

"Why do you choose to Inconvinent yourself because of my troubles, and while are you doing this for me?" Marianna asked,

"I can do everything for you" Collins retorted,

"how do you want to care for me when you don't have a shelter?" Marianna asked,

"I will get an apartment that will be conducive for us, and we will relocate before you put to bed," Collins said,

"do you have the financial strength to fund the house rent?" Marianna asked,

"yeah, I have some money that my parents left for me before their death, and the lawyer has called me for the bank and legal formalities, I told him to relax, and when I need the money, I will come to him, and now that I have something Important In my life, I will go and meet him In his office for the formality" Collins explained,

"do you know how much?" Marianna asked,

"I don't know but no matter how, It supposes to be enough to buy our flight tickets to New York City or Chicago," Collins said, and he smiles, "with all our discussion, will you leave the pregnancy for me to be fathered?" Collins asked,

"yeah," Marianna said, "but, tell me the reason while do you want to father and take responsibility for my kids," she said,

"Marianna, I have been loving you for a long time, but because of the situation I found myself in, I was unable to confess my love to you, believe me sincerely, I love you," Collins said,

"hmmm, Collins, Collins," Marianna said, "are you sure you are ready for these responsibilities?" Marianna asked,

"I'm ready for all the circumstances," Collins said, and he smiles and he moved closer to Marianna and embraced her,

An hour later, Collins stood up and said, "babe, let me be on my way now"

"Why do you want to leave me alone," Marianna asked,

"babe, please, let me go home on time, you know the kind of house I live in, If I go home late, there won't be a space for me In the room, and I don't want to sleep at the corridor" Collins explained,

"Okay," Marianna said,

"When he was about to leave, Marianna's dad called him, and said, "please, stay with her till tomorrow, I don't want to lose her, she might decide to hurt herself, and I haven't recovered well, I can only do little to stop her from nasty activities, please, stay with her, anything could happen before the day day break"
