Neto staggered back, he looked at Sky and then her mother and then Anton and Dwanye. Dwayne smiled bitterly and nod his head. "Yes Neto...she has amnesia but it seems it"s just part of her memory. Especially that of you.""She has all her memory until she met you and then blank then back to Dwayne. Sadly it"s like she"s wiped everything about you." Anton said as he moved closer to Neto and placed his hands on his shoulder. "Don"t worry man, the doctor said it might be temporary."
"I already told her about you, but we are yet to show her your picture." Mrs Onome said as she danced with the baby in her arms.
"Neto? the father of my twins?" Sky asked as she looked at Neto. " Mom I don"t understand, if Dwayne is my fiance, how come he"s the father of my kids? did I cheat on you Dwayne?" She asked as she shifted her gaze to Dwayne.
Everyone was quiet. After a moment of silence, Jenna spoke. "Sist, Dwayne is your fiance for show. No offense Dwayne. He is the son of Mr Jayden and you all wanted him to be a modest citizen." Jenna said smiling as she winked at Dwayne.
"I"m sorry I don"t recognize you Neto" Sky said as she stretched her hands to him.
Dazed, Neto looked at the outstretched hand. He stood transfixed on the same spot, he still couldn"t understand what was going on, he couldn"t believe his ears. "She"s alive, that"s all that matters." Neto inner voice said to him. He took in a deep breath and took her outstretched hand smiling. "It"s ok Mena. As long as you are alive, I"m happy."
Sky smiled brightly at him. As he took her hand in his, she used all her strength to pull him down for a hug. She hugged him tight as tears rolled down her eyes. "I can"t take it anymore guys" She said laughing and crying at the same time.
"I was about to signal you to cut! He looks like a ghost Sky." Anton said smiling.
"I was going to say I won"t stand here and watch you all give my best friend"s son a heart attack. Enough please." Mrs Victoria said smiling.
Perplexed, Neto didn"t know what to do. The hug surprised him. It was after he heard Mrs Onome"s voice that he came to. He freed himself from Sky"s embrace and looked at the rest of the group. "What?...wha....aaaa ...tt do you mean? he stuttered.
"Calm down Neto it"s a prank. Sky herself pulled the prank on us when she woke up, we couldn"t let you be the only one who don"t experience it." Dwayne said laughing.
"Woh u should have seen your face Neto, you are lucky I didn"t get it on camera." Jenna burst into laughter as she brought out her phone to capture Neto"s facial expression.
Neto didn"t react to Jenna"s tease. He let out a sigh of relief and smiled. "I admit you all got me real good, including you Mrs Victoria." He smiled and shifted his gaze to Sky who was smiling brightly.
Mrs Onome signalled the rest of the group to give them privacy as she carried her grandson to the other room while Brianna collected Sky junior from Sky. Neto didn"t know when the rest of the family left but Sky did. She smiled at Brianna who gave her a thumbs up before shutting the door.
"Hi" Sky said to him feeling awkward. He wouldn"t stop looking at her, he was staring at her and smiling. "Can you stop looking at me?"
"I"m sorry if I"m making you uncomfortable. I"m just happy you are back." As if remembering something he quickly stood up and started checking her body. "Are you hurt anywhere, does your arm hurt or your head or leg?" He touched her hand and leg.
"I"m fine Neto. Apart from my bandaged head, my leg and the fact that I ache all over cause I have been in this bed for weeks. And my head ache but the doctor said the pain will go away soon."
Neto watched her as she spoke, he wanted to hug her badly and kiss her hard but he was scared he would hurt her....her bandaged head and her bandaged knee.
"I am sorry." Neto said, looking down.
Surprised, Sky held his jaw and lifted his face up. "What for Neto?"
"I know I hurt you and you hate me right now....I don"t have anything to do with Somto. You should know that if I don"t marry you, I can"t marry anyone else. I was wrong in refusing to commit to you, I was a coward and a....." Sky cut him short before he could finish his sentence.
"Neto, Neto.." Seeing that he still wanted to explain, Sky leaned forward and placed her lips on his. She knew his heart, it was clear in his eyes and she"s heard him apologise several time, even when he threatened to give her twins to another woman.
Neto was taken off guard by the kiss. The moment her lips touched his, everything stood still for him. Neto was tempted to kiss her back, but he was scared of hurting her. He tried to control himself. Placed his hand on her neck and kissed her softly. "Sky..." He warned.
Sky giggled as she pulled back. "Were you really going to give my kids to another woman?" Sky asked smiling."
"Naaah, i was just kidding. Wait, hold on, dies that mean you heard everything I said then?"
"Yes. I"m sorry I didn"t tell you about my pregnancy. I was scared that you would reject my child and me. It wasn"t my intention in the beginning but after my first IVF failed, I decided to get pregnant the natural way and you were the only one I had in mind."
"But after you refused to take our relationship to the next level, I made sure you got drunk and had my way with you." Sky looked away, feeling embarra.s.sed.
"Why? why pick me Sky, I know then you had a lot of men coming your way."
Sky knew what he wanted to hear so she smiled. "I didn"t know it then Neto but I"m sure the reason why I did it was because I loved you. It was only after I discovered your fake engagement with Somto that I realized how much I loved you. The accident isn"t your fault, I was reckless. I shouldn"t have gone out with my bike in that state."
Neto could only smile as she explained everything. He played with her fingers as he thought within himself. "She just said she loved him, that means there"s hope, I can still rekindle the love."
"All I want right now is for all of us to be together, I will be the happiest man alive if you accept me Sky. I know this isn"t the right way to do this but Sky..." Neto went on his knees and pulled out a box from his pocket.
"I have been carrying this with me for days now. Sky Mena Nathaniel, will you do me the honour of being my wife? I know I wasn"t the man you wanted me to be but I promise to be a better man. You bring out the best in me, you complete me Mena, and you make me see the world in a different light."
"Awwwwwnnnn Neto please stand up, you shouldn"t be doing this, you are just shaken up by the whole thing. The accident, comma. The fact that I almost lost my life. Propose to me six months from now when I"m out of here and when you are thinking straight." Mena said.

"I"ve never been more level headed in my life Sky...I only realised my feelings for you after you left me. I don"t want to court you anymore, I need you in my life Sky, I need the twins in my life. I want us to start our own family."
"You don"t have to marry me because of the twins, you can come visit them anytime you want. You don"t have to settle Neto. I don"t want you to do what you don"t want to." Sky said to him with a sad smile on her face.
Neto knew he wasn"t going to win if they continued like this so he stood up and sat on the bed with her hand still in his. "I love you Mena, I have never loved any woman like I love you, truth is I have never been in love. We don"t have to get married right away, just say yes."
"It"s not about love Neto, In marriage they are times when love fails you.....what will happen when I grow fat because of child birth, or when I lose this shape you love so much? What happens when my stomach is covered with stretch marks and my tummy isn"t that flat anymore? What happens when I am not s.e.xy anymore cause I am tired of taking care if the kids and I put on a big dress or what happens when my breast is saggy?" Sky asked as she removed her hand from his?
