"Can't his fingers ache if he clenches his fist always" Arnav started another round of questioning session.

"It's a newborn trait arnavji. It'll not pain" Khushi replied taking aarush closed fist in her hands kissing it.

"His toe fingers also curled" Arnav examined his toe keeping it on his palms. He chuckled showing how small aarush legs in his palm.

"Do you have any other plan than staring at him like he is your candy..Oops...Your laptop. You always stare at your file and laptop in the same way as if it was the most beautiful thing in the world and your life depended on it" Khushi made an irritated pout.

"What the!!"

"For god sake. Stop this what the arnavji. I am already sure if you continue this habit of yours then aarush first word would be what the" She grunted imagining aarush saying What the in childish language.

"Do you know what my world is?" He asked in husky voice taking his place beside khushi leaving aarush.

"What?" She frowned hearing change in his voice.

"You, aarush and...Then Aarush sibling" His husky voice on her ears made her close her eyes.

"I thought you forgot me after your son came" She whispered taking a  fist full of his shirt.

Caressing her palm which rested on his shirt he leaned pecking her cheeks.

"Never... You're my laptop and he is my Bluetooth" He laughed out loud seeing her popped out eyes.

"You're teasing me" She freaked hitting him.

Their little banter disturbed their little soul who wailed loudly kicking his tiny hands and legs in the air.

"See, my son doesn't like to see you scolding his dad. Haaina champ..." He cooed in a baby voice taking him in his arms.

Aarush blinked open his tiny eyes feeling a warmth. His cries subsided slowly.

"Why my baby is crying?" He cooed giving his forefinger to aarush fist which he held swiftly in a tight grip.

Gazing his father aarush closed his eyes slowly. Soft snores after good five minutes indicated his sleeping state.

"He slept again" Arnav murmured in disappointment making him sleep on the cradle.

Pulling over the blanket on him, he moved aside making sure aarush have comfortable sleep.

"Arnavji..I...Want to ask you something" She said with hesitation.

Arnav raised his eyebrows in question and eyed her to proceed further.

"Can I and aarush stay in amma house for few days..."

"No" He replied instantly making her sigh in disappointment.

"Please arnavji...Amma, buaji and babuji everyone wish the same. Even during my pregnancy, I didn't go there for your satisfaction. Please..Only few days...It is custom also...Please naa..." She tries to melt him by her pout.

Seeing him lost in thoughts, she grabbed him by his hands and put a sound kiss on his cheeks.

"Please..."

How can he deny after her cute pout and not to say her kiss, he nodded accepting her deal but not before putting a condition.

"Only under one condition. I too will accompany you and stay with you two" He commanded.

"Shall I ask buaji and amma to ask permission from nani?"

"Not needed. They already asked" Nani said entering the room. Khushi pushed arnav away from her, the instant.

Greeting and exchanging pleasantries everyone standing like a queue for taking their fill of holding aarush.

Khushi smiled seeing the attention and love her son was getting. While arnav gazed all of them weirdly.

"This is hospital, not an exhibition and surely my son is not exhibiting" He said in nonchalant earning a playful slap from his wife.

But everyone seemed unaffected by his words.

"He's going to his nani, nana house so we're utilising this time" Only anjali cared to reply amidst of standing behind aakash waiting for her turn to take her nephew in her arms.

"Haire nandhakishore... Don't scare my grandson manorama" Buaji warned as soon as she entered seeing aarush wriggling in manorama arms.

"Haain...Hello bye bye..He's enjoying with her beautiful grandmom.." Manorama mami twisted her eyes showing big eyes to aarush admiring him.

"You don't go to her... I'll give you makeup tips. You will become modelwa then in award stage you give credit to this beautipul modern grandmom, I'll never mind" She laughed making everyone chuckle.

"Haire nandhakishore... Don't hear her words mere laddoo... I'll teach you good manners, some people never know what to speak" Buaji twisted her mouth in annoyance taking aarush in her arms.

"Hello hai bye bye... Don't ever think of changing aarush to say bye bye to me..." Mami said dramatically.

"Jiji...Give him to me. See how you're struggling to fight with him keeping him in your arms" Garima appeared before madumathi taking aarush in her arms by easily convincing her using their fight.

Falling on her words buaji gave aarush to garima and continued to fight with manorama. They two in their own world fighting who'll be better grandmom to aarush.

"You have grown clever garima. Don't you think, the stones in your saree are pricking him" Shashi showed how aarush scrunching his face in irritation.

Nodding garima handed aarush to him. Keeping him close to his heart shashi admired his grandson. He don't know how aarush arrival was lucky for everyone but for him, aarush was his lucky charm. From the time aarush starts grown on his mother womb shashi health starts improving. At his eighth month of growth when Khushi's godbhaarai happened shashi was fit and fine.

"Uncle, you're just recovered. Don't take stress. Give him to me" Anjali cleverly took aarush from him.

"Di, this is not fair. Yesterday also you spent time with him" Aakash stepped as next member.

"Di, Don't stand for a long time" Payal interrupted having aarush in her arms before aakash.

"What the!!! Excuse me he's not a ball that you all can play with him" Arnav put a full stop to their play taking aarush from payal and handing him to khushi.

"Bhai...This is not fair. You let everyone to hold him when it was my turn you snatched him" Aakash complained with a sad pout.

"Jijaji...Here hold him" Khushi laughed in pity eyeing aarush to take him in his arms.

Aakash smiled in victory taking aarush in his arms while arnav grunted.

"Ok then..Visiting hours over. You can all leave now" Arnav said standing ready to drag everyone out.

"Haan haan..Chotte come. Aakash will stay here until you fresh up and relax a bit" Anjali said with concern holding his hands.

Arnav opened his mouth to deny but before his voice come out khushi interrupted "Di is right. Go home arnavji. Jijaji is here na. Go..."

"No...I can freshen up here too. No need to go home" Arnav stood firm on his decision.

Khushi persuades one more time only to accept her failure. Everyone bid bye to new parents promising to call them every hour to get details of aarush.

Aakash glanced back standing near the door "Bhai..Nk called me. He's coming tomorrow"
