As Arnav arrived home one late evening, he found Khushi busy in the kitchen, warming up dinner for him. He approached her quietly, wrapping his arms around her from behind, surprising her.

"Arre, aap aagaye!" Khushi exclaimed, her voice filled with delight. "How was your day?"

Arnav pressed a gentle kiss to her cheek, inhaling the comforting scent of home. "Long and tiring, but seeing you makes it all better."

They settled down at the dining table, Khushi watching him with a warm smile as he began eating. It was a peaceful moment, their eyes filled with affection and unspoken love.

And then, as they savored their meal, Khushi couldn't contain her excitement any longer. She took a deep breath, her eyes sparkling with joy.

"Arnavji..there's something I've been meaning to tell you," Khushi said, her voice filled with anticipation.

Arnav looked up from his plate, his curiosity piqued. "What is it, Khushi? You look like you're bursting with happiness."

Khushi's smile widened, and she took his hand in hers, placing it on her belly. "We're going to have a baby.."

Arnav's eyes widened in surprisey.

"We're going to be parents." Said Khushi chuckling as she watched his face.

A mix of emotions flood through him. He gazed at Khushi's radiant face, his heart swelling with love and excitement.

"A baby?" Arnav whispered, his voice filled with awe. "We're going to be parents... I can't believe it."

Khushi nodded, her eyes shimmering with tears of joy. "It's true..We're going to bring a little life into this world, a beautiful addition to our family."

As Arnav leaned in, his intentions clear, Khushi gently placed a hand on his chest, a hint of caution in her eyes.

"Arnavji, aap.." she whispered, glancing around the room. "Someone might see us."

Arnav's smile softened, understanding her concern. "You're right, Khushi. We'll wait for the right moment."

Curiosity sparked in Arnav's eyes, and he asked, "Does anyone in the family know about our news?"

Khushi shook her head, her expression filled with excitement. "Nahin Arnavji..We will share this special moment with everyone together, but for now, it's our little secret."

Arnav's smile grew wider, a mix of mischief and anticipation in his gaze. "Our little secret... I can't wait to see the look on their faces when we tell them."

Khushi giggled, her eyes shining with happiness. "I know, it's going to be priceless."

They continued their conversation, their voices filled with excitement and plans for the future. Each passing moment brought them closer, their love growing stronger as they eagerly awaited the arrival of their little one.

Next Morning

The next morning, Arnav was hyper-attentive to Khushi's every step, making sure to be by her side as they descended the stairs. He gently held her by the upper arms, concern evident in his eyes. Khushi reassured him that she was perfectly fine and capable of walking on her own, but Arnav remained adamant.

As they entered the dining area, their family members were already seated at the breakfast table, exchanging smiles as they witnessed Arnav's protective display. Di couldn't help but tease her younger brother.

„Kya hua Chhote? Aaj tum bohot attentive ho tumhari pyaari si patni ke liye." she remarked playfully.

Arnav and Khushi shared a knowing smile, their love evident in their eyes, before taking their seats at the table. Across from them, Akash and Payal smiled at the couple. Akash cleared his throat, capturing everyone's attention.

"I have something to share with all of you," Akash began, glancing at his shy wife. "Actually... it's about the two of us."

Nani, Mami, Mama, and Anjali exchanged curious glances, sensing something significant was about to be revealed. Arnav, with a mischievous twinkle in his eyes, chimed in, "That's great, Akash, because we have news to share as well."

Nani leaned forward with anticipation. "So, who wants to go first?"

Arnav looked at Akash and insisted, "No, Akash, you should go first."

Akash blushed, then took a deep breath. "Well, Payal and I... we're expecting a baby."

A collective gasp filled the room, followed by a chorus of joyful congratulations. The family couldn't contain their excitement, showering Akash and Payal with love and well wishes.

Arnav turned to Khushi, a smile of pure happiness on his face. "And Khushi and I... we're also expecting a baby."

The room erupted into cheers and applause as the family celebrated the news of two precious additions to their clan. Hugs were exchanged, laughter filled the air, and tears of joy glistened in everyone's eyes.

As the breakfast continued, the family shared stories, advice, and their overflowing love for the two couples. Amidst the joyous chaos, Arnav and Khushi felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude for the family they were surrounded by—a family that embraced them with open arms and celebrated their happiness as their own.

In that moment, they realized that their journey into parenthood was not one they would embark on alone. They had the unwavering support and love of their family, ready to guide them every step of the way.

Arshi Room

As Khushi continued to excitedly share her thoughts and dreams about their future with the baby, Arnav's tiredness started to catch up with him. He couldn't help but drift off to sleep, his breathing becoming steady and calm. Khushi, however, didn't notice his drowsiness and kept chattering away, unaware that he wasn't fully present in the conversation.

As she spoke about nursery designs, baby names, and the adventures they would have as a family.

"As I was looking at nursery designs today, Arnav, I couldn't help but imagine how adorable our baby's room would be. Soft pastel colors, a cozy crib with fluffy blankets, and little animal decorations all around. Oh, and we should definitely have a rocking chair where I can sing lullabies to our little one."

Pause...

„I've already started compiling a list of baby names too, you know? We could go for something unique and meaningful. And when our baby grows up, we'll take them on the most amazing adventures! Trips to the beach, picnics in the park, and family hikes in the mountains. Just imagine all the memories we'll create together! But hey, don't worry, Arnavji. I know it's a lot to think about, but we'll figure everything out. We'll be the best parents, always showering our little bundle of joy with love and affection."

Pause...

„Oh, and I can't wait to see you holding our baby, Arnavji. You'll be such a loving and protective father. Together, we'll create a beautiful and happy family. I just know it."

Khushi's words flowed with excitement and anticipation as she shared her visions of their future with their baby, painting a vivid picture of love, joy, and adventure.

She again paused, expecting a response from Arnav. But all she heard was a soft, barely audible "hm." Her eyes narrowed in annoyance, and she muttered under her breath, "You're not even listening!"

Just as she was about to voice her frustration, she felt Arnav's arms tighten around her, pulling her closer to him. Startled, she looked up and found his eyes open, gazing at her with a mixture of amusement and adoration.

"Did I miss something important, Mrs. Raizada?" he teased, a playful smirk tugging at the corner of his lips.

Khushi's irritation quickly melted away, replaced by a mixture of surprise and affection. She playfully swatted his arm. "You were pretending to sleep, weren't you?"

Arnav chuckled, his voice filled with warmth. "Maybe just a little. But hearing you talk about our future with so much excitement was music to my ears, Khushi. I might not have responded to every detail, but trust me, I was hanging onto your every word."

A smile tugged at the corners of Khushi's lips, and she snuggled even closer to him, resting her head back on his chest. "Well, next time, I'll make sure to use more dramatic pauses to keep you on your toes."

Arnav tightened his embrace, his voice filled with tenderness. "No need for dramatics, love. Just keep being the amazing, talkative, and enthusiastic woman that you are. I'll always be here, listening and cherishing every word you say."

And with those whispered words of love, they drifted off to sleep, their hearts entwined and their dreams intermingled. In the silence of the night, their connection grew stronger, rooted in the laughter, understanding, and unwavering love that filled their lives.

In that moment, as they lay together, Khushi felt a sense of completeness, knowing that she was exactly where she was meant to be—wrapped in her Arnavji's arms, with a future full of endless possibilities and a love that would forever bloom.
