That me about, "Trick or Treat" Ok, let the story start.
"Yes, ma. Your due date will be on September 29 or 30, according to the scan," the doctor told my mom. They were all happy since she was just four weeks pregnant and wanted to know the day her child would be born into this beautiful world. 'Thank you sir" she said to the doctor as she stood up from the black leather chair in his office. As she walked down the hospital passage, the strong smell of medicine and other chemicals she couldn't recognize hit her smelling sense which made her a bit dizzy.

She began to walk fast to get away from those irritating odors. "Ma, are you alright?" a nurse approached her after seeing how fast she walked past her without even realizing someone was greeting her. "Oh, Nurse Titi, I'm fine, it was just the hospital smell. I might not even come here again until October when my child will be born" she said
With bright eyes and a smile spreading across her face, nurse Titi hugged her and congratulated her on her expecting child. They talked a little bit more before my mom left for her house.
"Precious," she called out to my dad, who was lounging in the parlor with his legs propped up on the table, relaxing as he watched the NTA news, remote in hand.
"Precious, here is the result of the scan I went to do today. Also, I don't know why, I was just feeling dizzy as I left the doctor's office and I felt a pull on my way back from the hospital. It was like something was following me. Anyways, our child will be coming in October:" she said as she dished his food.
"But the record here says September" My dad turned to look at her.
"Oh, that's true. I don't know why I keep saying October. I even told Nurse Titi it was October." After the whole conversation, it was September 30 and there was no sign of any child coming.
On October 1st, she and my father returned to the hospital for another scan. This time, the scan indicated October, but without a specific date. "Doctor, what is the issue here?" my father inquired. The doctor continued to look at the records, searching for an answer like a curious cat, yet he remained silent. "Sir, let's try again," he suggested.
After several tries, the date wasn't popping up. My mom became scared and walked out of the doctor's office with tears brewing in her eyes. As she walked down the hospital's bright passage, she bumped into a small child in a white garment. She stood there to look at this small child wondering where his mother could have gone. "Don't worry Mommy, I am coming" he said as he ran away.

She was still in shock as to what had just happened when she felt a hand on her shoulder. She jumped back but realized it was my dad. "Please don't scare me like that," she said with a little frown on her face.
"Scare you? I have been standing beside you asking if you are ready to go home" my dad said as he watched the surprised look on her face.
As the days in October turned weeks, nothing seemed to happen then October 30th came and the story that changed her life started. She told my dad she wasn't feeling too good so he took her to the hospital
She was in the hospital till the 31st of October and on that day, she experienced a pain she hadn't experienced before. She was in labour all day and the child seemed not to come. It was 10 pm and the doctor had already advised for an operation so they could help the mother and the child. It was a tough decision so my dad went to meet his wife to let her know what the doctor had advice but he found her looking at the doctor.
She said she saw the boy in the white garment looking at her and just standing at the door entrance with no one noticing him and he said "Sorry Mommy, I was playing around but I will come now"
After hearing those statements, it started raining heavily and then she told the doctor she would like to try again. Just the first push and I was born. My siblings and parents' months are January, February, March, and May while I was born in October.
This is a True Life Story about my birth. I was born with some mysterious ability that made me believe the story that was told to me, anyway. The story didn't end here but here is where I will stop. In 3 days' time, I will be celebrating my birth in the Halloween spirit.
Thanks for reading.
