We are starting today's episode with the continuation of last week's episode Adam and Eve
*************************************
RACHEL
Dr Okafor? have never heard you speak of a Dr Okafor, is he a new doctor
FEMI
Okafor is a she and yes, she is technically new. She is on sabbatical leave at the hospital
RACHEL
What is your business with her?
FEMI
Oh my God is my wife jealous is a 50 something years old doctor?
RACHEL
Of course not, I trust my man. It is just that it is strange for a healthy doctor to be seeing another doctor. You are healthy right?
FEMI
Have you thought that it might been a work meeting?
RACHEL
Oh really, is it? Is it a work meeting?
FEMI
It is not
Rachel looks worried
RACHEL
Oh Honey are you okay?
Femi touches his wife’s hands warmly
FEMI
I am okay babe, Dr. Okafor is a fertility doctor and she currently doing a research on low sperm count. So I volunteered to be studied for the research
Fears grips Rachel, she stands up and starts to speak in a loud voice to Femi
RACHEL
Why will you volunteer for something like that?
FEMI
Isn’t it so obvious, for a cure?
RACHEL
Why will you want that? We have good children and we have Adam on the way. Our life is complete
FEMI
Yes our life is but I am not complete as a man. I mean is it a bad idea to have a baby that has your eyes or maybe my nose? Is it?
RACHEL
Of course it is not but we have tried a lot of drugs, trials but none of it worked, what is the assurance that this will work?
FEMI
There is no assurance that this will work, everything in life is a risk. I mean what could be the worst thing that will happen if I participate in the trial
RACHEL
Death!
FEMI
What?
RACHEL
You asked me the worst thing that could happen to you and I
said death
He stands up and walks towards Rachel
FEMI
Oh God Rachie!
RACHEL
Do you even know the side effect of this trial?
FEMI
No I don’t but I am sure that death is not part of it
RACHEL
What if you have cancer? What if it affects your ability to perform, God forbid impotence
Femi holds his wife’s arms
FEMI
Calm down and listen to me
Rachel removes her hands forcefully
RACHEL
No you listen to me, I don’t know how a family man like you can just decide to take unnecessary risk when he has a lot of people that depends on him
FEMI
This is for us
RACHEL
No this is for you, I am satisfied with what we have. For those children out there and the little one we are expecting, I will do anything
FEMI
And I will do anything for them too, maybe even more than you will but I want my own
She points to his lower body
RACHEL
When it comes to the matter of what happens down there, I believe I have a say in it. I don’t want you to participate in the trial and if you do this, you are going to find yourself another womb to carry your so-called baby because I am so going to divorce your ass and I will take the children from you
Rachel starts to walk away but stops when Femi starts to talks
FEMI
What kind of selfish ultimatum is that?
She faces him
RACHEL
I am just giving you the same selfish ultimatum you gave me when I was pursuing my career. Then it was you or my career but now it is either you or the children and me
She walks away, Femi looks confused
**************************
Hope is a scary desire in an impossible situation, it seems like Rachel is scared of hope or is she?
