curiosity killed the cat . satisfaction brought it back
She did not have to look at Tembovu to gauge how the news of her miscarriage had affected him. She could hear it in his voice, feel it in the way his hold on her tightened, and in the way his breathing changed. The cheetah knew him well enough to know that he took his responsibilities seriously and that he often took responsibility for things that were out of his control. That Mawindo had beaten her as severely as he had was something that had been out of his control. Her miscarriage had been something that had been unavoidable and looking back she understood and accepted it.
"Its not your fault." She said, as if she already knew his line of thinking. Don't try to take responsibility for something that was not your fault. It was my fault because I let Mawindo catch me. "I knew the dangers of being pregnant in Dorobo. I knew the possibilities." She explained. "Its happened more times than you know in the female soldiers. It was an risk we all knew and accepted." But that didn't make the death of an unborn child hurt any less. It only made it easier to cope.
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"It wasn't your burden to carry." Ada answered. "It was mine and mine alone." Her weight shifted as she stood in Tembovu's embrace. "And if I had told you that I was pregnant you would have been too careful. You would have been found out and everything we'd been doing would have been for nothing. I made the decision to keep it a secret and I was prepared for the consequences of my choice."
