Another fight
They were still talking, when Baby Star woke up and started crying.
Maxwell and Goodluck made to get her at the same time.
"I'm her Dad, I should get her".
Goodluck tells him, but Maxwell argued further, not wanting to give in easily.
"I'm her uncle, I should start doing my uncle duties now".
Goodluck didn't want to argue further, though somehow, he feels drawn towards the baby.
She have been listening to hi , ever since she was in the womb, and he knows that even till now, she is going to answer him.
Maxwell carried her, and started dancing for she kept quiet for a while, but after a few seconds into his celebration, baby Star started crying.
Goodluck looked away, as he could see confusion written on the face of his friend.
He doesn't know what to do.
"Uncle, you are making your niece cry".
Goodluck sarcastically tells him, and he tried everything he knows about babies.
He even started making crazy faces to her, which didn't work.
"She cannot see that face you are making yet".
That was when Maxwell remembered that she is just a day old, and she haven't started seeing yet.
When he saw that he doesn't know what to do, and is waiting for him to come and get her, he got up from his seat, with pride.
"Watch and learn".
He prided himself.
As he held her in his arms, she rested her head on his shoulder and started playing.
She was very calm that one would think that she had slept off, but then Amanda's voice distracted the both of them.
"I see you have found a new love".
She said.
Goodluck could hear some traces of jealousy in her tone, but that isn't a reason to worry, since she is her baby.
"My love".
Goodluck said excitedly.
He had obviously been waiting for her to wake up since then.
He gave her the baby, and she brought out her big breast and started feeding Star.
"You were both busy arguing about whom to carry her, that you forget that she might be hungry".
She scolded them, that Maxwell felt embarrassed.
All the while he has been dreaming of when he would Marry Joy and start a family with her.
Star was still sucking on her, as she speaks.
Amanda changed position, so that she sucks on the other side.
"I want to be a baby again".
Goodluck whispered into her ears, so that Maxwell doesn't hear, and she blushed.
Maxwell could already feel that they were indirectly telling him that he should leave, so he excused himself, he does have somethings to do, so he decided to take the time to do them.
That seem like what Amanda was waiting for.
She have heard everything they were both saying.
She is angry, though not so angry, for she understand that he was keeping the secret because if her condition then.
When she is sure that Star is sleeping, she gave her to him to place in her crib.
Goodluck felt a bit off looking into her eyes, but she was looking directly into his eyes, waiting for him to talk.
"You have something to tell me, or are you going to make me ask you?
He knew immediately that she heard everything.
"I didn't tell you about Sonia because I know how much you cared about her, and how much it would hurt you, if you learn about what she did to you.
I also didn't raise a hand to stop any harm that would come her way, for she is serving her doom already".
Amanda didn't quite get what he said last, she didn't want to think it is really what she is thinking about, so she asked.
"Do you mean to say, that you knew all along what was about to happen to her, and you did nothing to stop it from happening to her?
Goodluck wasn't so surprised at her reaction, she has always had such pure heart, but she couldn't be him now.
"It wasn't my responsibility to save her, I could never fight against Karma, she deserves what she was served".
Amanda nodded her head and apple softly in a very sober tone.
"Ally life I have beaten myself up for allowing my brother hurt you without raising a hand to stop him that day.
I kept telling myself that you would never do that to anyone, not even someone you consider as worse enemy, but I guess I was wrong.
I can't believe you could save someone from death, yet you allowed that person die".
Goodluck had no more to say to her.
He isn't going to justify his actions, but he knows that, he would more than willing to watch the same thing happen to Sonia all over again.
They were both quiet for a while, and Goodluck kept wishing she would say something, but she said nothing.
Then Baby Star started crying, and that seem like his big moment.
He got up to get to her crib, but he was stopped.
Leave her, don't touch her, I will get her myself".
Goodluck could not believe his ears, She was cutting him out.
"Are you indirectly asking me to go?
"Just leave for now, I don't want to see you, no matter what Sonia did to me, I still saw her as a friend and that is the only way I will ever see her".
She had other things in mind, but she would rather not say.
Goodluck got the message and made to leave, but he stopped by the door, by this time, Amanda had also gotten up from her bed.
He turned back and spoke in an angry tone.
" You are right about what you thought of me.
I could never hurt you or your family, because I consider you as family, but I will deeply hurt whoever it is, that tries to hurt my family or anyone I consider as family.
She hurt you, made you cry many times while she just looks into your eyes saying nothing, that is enough reason for me to want to hurt her, and if I get a chance to see her again, I will hurt her again, for hurting you, but then I guess I am the only one that consider you family, you just see me as some guy".
Amanda was about to react to what she just heard him say, but she was too late, for he was out already.
