Christy smiled and gave a short laugh.
“Bae I’m trying to be serious.” She said.
Jason stood all the way up and wrapped his arms around her waist, then he leaned back.
“I’m sorry baby, you’re just so beautiful I...” Jason began to say.
“Bae why do you go behind my back and lie?” She asked.
Jason frowned and dropped his gaze down.
“Because... I’m a scared lonely boy.”
Christy bursted out in laughter.” She asked him.
Jason nodded his head.
“Bae but... what about my mom? She already doesn’t like the fact that we’re married. Now we wanna have a kid...
Jason thought for a minute, then an idea appeared in his head.
“Take me to your mother!” He said in his dad’s Liberian accent.
Christy then took his hands and walked down the corridor with him to his mother’s room. She slowly opened the door and crept in.
“Christy... Is that you?” Crystal Angel’s weak voice asked.
She was sprawled on the bed with a blanket wrapped over her body. A wet towel was on her forehead. By the way that she was sweating Jason could see that she indeed had a fever. Jason walked up to her and placed his hand on her chest. He closed his eyes and said “Ya Allah, she’s my mother. She’s not well Ya Rabb. Please heal her, only You are Able to do all. A few seonds later Crystal Angela rose up on the bed with her chest up, then she sat up.
“Wh-wh-what happened?” She said as she observed her hands.
Jason removed his hand from her chest. “The same One Who healed you is the same One Who told me to have a son with your daughter.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Crystal Angela looked at Christy then at Jason.
“Son? What is he talking about?” Crystal Angela said to Christy.
Christy moved close to the bed and placed her hands on her mother’s legs.
“Mom...” Christy said and paused.
Jason also moved closer to her, he rested his hands on her legs as well.
“Mother please, I want your daughter to have my son.” He said plain and calmly.
Crystal Angela looked at Jason as he spoke, she then turned her head towards Christy.
“But... what about school?” She said.
“Mom that’s why we need your assistance, I can finish school while you take care of the little one. Please mom, I really want this.” Christy said.
Crystal Angela looked at her and gave a long pause.
“So let me get this straight, you two have decided to have a kid while you’re still in school, and you want ME to take care of him or her?” She said.
“It’s gonna be a him.” Jason said.
Crystal Angela looked at Jason and chuckled.
“Are you crazy? I refuse. NO WAY IN HELL...” Crystal Angela began to say, before she could finish her sentence she fell back on the bed and started sweating profusely again.
“MOM!” Christy yelled out.
She went to the bedside and began rubbing her mother’s face.
“Wh-what happened?” Crystal Angela said as she was laid on the bed,
Jason walked up to her on the bed and placed his hand on her chest.
“I told you mother. Allah is Just and Equitable. If you want to get better again you’re going to have to agree to take care of this child.” Jason said,
Crystal Angela’s nose began bleeding. She rubbed it with her index finger and looked at the blood on her finger. She then came to her senses and realized what she must do. She quickly nodded her head up and down.
“Okay,
I agree.”
