2 Months Later

"You, Miss Sandra, are 10 weeks pregnant." The doctor said, eyeing her in disgust.

"What?!" Ruth yelled.

"She is 8 weeks pregnant ma'am. She should visit the clinic regularly from now on, you can also buy-"

"She cannot be pregnant! She is still a virgin!"

Sandra on the other hand was struck with lightning and she held her chest, "doctor, there must be a mistake." She rushed to the doctor.

"No, you are 8 weeks pregnant, it's from your test result."

"I can't be-"

"Doctor I said she is still a virgin!"

"This is not the first case of this happening-"

"Are you sure you did not mix up names, my name is Sandra-Sandra Johnson." Sandra said.

"Yes, Sandra Johnson. Are you a virgin? If you are then there is a problem."

"Yes, there is a problem! There is a big problem! There must be a problem! She is a virgin!"

Sandra stuttered as the doctor turned to her, "but-but it was only once-"

"What?! Sandra! What are you saying?!"

Sandra fell on her knees with tears in her eyes, "mummy please, he raped me! I didn't want to do it." She held on to her mum's gown.

Ruth kicked her, "you-you... You are actually pregnant." She pulled off her scarf, "yeeeeehhhh!! You have killed me, Sandra! Ejiro you have killed me! How?! When?! Who?!"

"Mummy-"

"Your father must hear of this, it's that Blessing that came that time abi? I know!" Ruth pulled her by the hair out of the clinic and harshly shoved her into the car.

"Mummy... Mummy please, I didn't want to tell you..." She moved out to meet her mother but Ruth aggressively pushed her back in.
...

She threw her to the ground, "Ebuka! Ebuka!" Ebuka came into the living room to see his daughter crying and holding on to Ruth's leg.

"What's happening here?"

"Agwara m unu na nwa agbogho ahu ga-emebi nwa m nwaanyi! But you still brought her into the house."
(I told you that girl would spoil my daughter!)

"What is it? Sandra get up!"

"Daddy... I'm sorry, please." She sobbed as she crawled to him and held his leg.

"Will anyone explain what happened?!"

"Your daughter is pregnant! Eight weeks pregnant!!"

Ebuka stepped back, "Sandra! Pregnant?"

"Yes, she is pregnant. See the results..." She flung it to his face and he grabbed it and hurriedly opened it up.

"Chineke me!"
(God!)
"N'ulo m! Sandra! H-how..."
(In my house)

"Daddy, please forgive me. He raped me, I didn't want to do it, he forced me. Please believe me, I would never do this." She begged.

"Onye tuuru gi ime, onye nzuzu!" He yelled, slapping her.
(Who got you pregnant? You fool!)

"Akpokwala nwa m onye nzuzu, i bu onye nzuzu. I kwere ka nwa-abogho ahu dubà ya n'ikpe!" Ruth yelled at him, pointing her finger towards him.
(Do not call my child a fool, you are the fool. You let that girl lead her to doom!"

"Mechonu gi! Shut up there! This your child, better get out of my house right now!" Ebuka threatened.

"Yeeh daddy please..."
