was so confused about her condition. She had been feeling ill for a while and then decided to go for a check at the clinic. The report of the test came as a shock to her. Her most dreadful dream had become reality, ''how on earth would I cope with this?'', Tomi thought. She couldn't help the tears that rolled from her cheeks. ''God, this just has to be a dream,this cannot be happening!'' Tomi exclaimed. She recalled the incident that happened exactly two weeks from then, that night when it seemed like the world crumbled on her, the night when the most precious thing to her was taken away forcefully, the night she was raped! Now she's carrying the baby of a man she doesn't know,''God, I thought I would hide this scar and do away with it but now that there is an evidence, it would have to live with me forever'', Tomi said while sobbing. She decided to send a text message to her sister, her sister was her next confidant after God. She wrote in her text, ''Sis,what we dreaded most has finally happened, the report of the test says I'm pregnant. I need you now sis''. Tomi was skeptical about telling her parents, she thought, ''they have not recovered from the shock of the rape news, I wouldn't want to expose them to another story that might lead to an hypertensive attack''.
Back at Teni Smith's workplace, she received her sister's text, Teni could not but exclaim at the sight of the message. '' Oh my! Why would this happen? God, this girl doesn't deserve this. Please Lord, uphold her at this critical stage of her life. Help her to still hold unto you'', Teni, silently prayed. She replied her sister's text message, assuring her that all will be well with her and that she will support her all through this period, Teni also included in her text that Tomi shouldn't inform their parents.
As soon as it was 4p.m., Teni decided to go to her family house. She got into her car and drove home. The traffic was heavy being that it was a Friday, she finally got home at about 8:40p.m.
Teni entered the house, she saw her dad in the sitting room, they both exchanged greetings. She asked of her mum and she was told her mum was in the room upstairs. Teni went to her mum's room, they both greeted and when she would ask of her sister, her mum replied that she hadn't seen her since afternoon and that she wouldn't want to talk to anyone. Teni decided to go to her sister's room, Tomi had locked the door and removed the key but fortunately for Teni, she had a spare key in her bag. Teni opened the door and saw her sister lying on the bed.
Tomi had ''cried her eyes out'', she saw her sister walk into the room, she couldn't utter any word. Teni went to sit beside her sister, hugged her and said, ''Sweet sis, we are in this together. I promise to stay with you all through. God is with us. I love you sis.'' Tomi felt a lot of relief and a ray of hope filled her heart. She finally uttered a few words, ''I love you too sis, thank you so much. Thank you Jesus.''
