A/N : I was not planning to write this story anymore but this chapter was lying in my draft for so many months now, I wanted to add more things to it but something is better than nothing right! so here it is the last chapter. hope you guys like it.
After 6 months babies now have started tossing and turning, moving hands to grab things.
One fine day Akshara was talking to Kairav about his new found love and she was telling him how to plan his confession.
Abhimanyu was attending an online medical conference in study room and babies were with their nannies in their room.
Suddenly Akshara heard loud cry of Abhir and her heart came to her mouth, she dropped her phone on the ground and ran to babies room.
"Oh my God!" Akshara screamed and picked up her son, Abhir, whose forehead was scratched and bleeding. The younger one, Abhish had scratched him.
Listening to Akshara ,Abhimanyu who was in study also rushed to the babies' room and saw the horrifying
scene infront of him his son had few drops of blood on his forehead and his wife was crying and consoling
him at the same time. As soon as Akshara saw Abhimanyu she ran to him.
"Abhi! Abhir" she could not even form a sentence seeing her son in that state.
"Where the hell are both the nannies? I appointed two girls and they both are so damn careless!"
Abhimanyu's anger was at its height.
he took Abhir from Akshara and asked her to bring his doctor bag & Akshara rushed to their room to fetch the bag.
Listening to the voices and screams, both the girls stood by the door.
"Welcome! Now that one of my boys is badly injured, you come here to witness the scenario as if some entertaining reality-show is going on! You both are fired..."
Abhimanyu shouted and stepped
out of the rooom taking Abhir, he didn't even give a chance of explanation to the girls.
One of the girls, who was Abhir's nanny, had tears in her eyes. It was almost nine months that they were handling the babies now, they were also fondly attached to them, seeing Abhir hurt and injured, almost killed the girl inside.
"I'm sorry Ma'am, actually we never leave the babies alone, but today we just went down for five minutes to get some milk from the kitchen for them, and we didn't know they'd start fighting." The girl started explaining to Akshara.
"It's okay, you're not fired, you both have taken care of the babies with affection, we all know that, Abhi is only upset right now, he didn't mean any of it. Seeing Abhir bleeding
and crying has hurt him. Give him some time, and you both take care of Abhish now." Askshara said,
and walked away towards their room , she wanted to see Abhir's condition.
when she stepped inside she saw Abhimanyu cleaning the blood from Abhir's forehead with cotton
Abhir's cries have somewhat slowed down but he still had tears in his eyes. Abhir again let out a wail
feeling burning sensation due to anticeptic on the wound. Abhimanyu was continuously blowing air on his injury wishpering numerous sorries in his ear. At that moment no one could say he his a top heart surgeon
who deals with the blood on daily basis. Abhimanyu cleaned the wound with anticeptic & applied the band-aid ever so softly. Meanwhile Abhir has already asleep due to all the crying and pain.
"Is he okay, Abhi?" Akshara stepped closer to Abhimanyu.
"Yeah, I've called Rohan, he will send a injection that will prevent any chance of infection, he'll send someone." Abhimanyu said.
"It's okay Abhi The injuries are very minor." Askshara consoled Abhimanyu taking him in a tight hug.
"Akshu you saw, there's blood all over his forehead...these scratches must have hurt him so bad..." Abhimanyu's voice broke at last.
"Relax love, babies play, it happens sometimes with sibblings." Akshara tried to make Abhimanyu understand.
"No, Akshu! Just see his age, he's not even a year old, he can get infected, he can fall sick, injuries can develop some kind of rashes, or sometimes, little babies also get..."
"Abhi Stop! , just calm down, I know he's our son and you love him more
than anything else, but you have to accept it. It's a part of life! They're kids, tomorrow they'll go to school, they'll grow up and they'll fall down many times, they'll fight with classmates, they also will live a normal life like everyone else, and you can't protect them everywhere."
Akashara was right in a way. Abhimanyu was no doubt their father,but Akshara made a point that Abhimanyu can't protect them everywhere. their sons will also join schools and colleges in future, they'll go out in the world and This world has every kind of people and the people their kids are going to interact with in future, will also include the impolite and rough ones
who may even harm them! he can't be their protector throughout their life.
seeing Abhimanyu still silent. Akshara sighed It was the second time that Abhimanyu cried for her sons, the first time was when she gave them birth but that was out of happiness.
"Abhi, please.." Akshara wishpered and meanwhile a servent knocked the door.
"Sir this came from the hospital." servent gave a packet to Abhimanyu and went.
Abhimanyu gave injection to Abhir while he was asleep he let out small wail but Akshara patted his
head and he went back to sleep.
"You are right ! A baby has scratched another baby, the injuries are very minor and slight, and about the blood, it's because a baby's skin is very soft and fragile, the skin cells can rupture very easily if manhandled, that's why he bled." Abhimanyu reasoned himself more than Akshara.
"So finally my docman husband is back" Akshara tried to lighten his mood.
"yes! and you also don't worry, just apply this ointment twice a day so there will be no marks or rashes."Abhimanyu said.
"I was also scared Abhi when I saw him bleeding but I have been grown up with sibblings I have my own experience that how normal it is, so you don't worry about me." Akshara said.
she moved out of the room to give Abhimanyu his space to process these new feelings and fears.
For the next few hours, Akshara held Abhish in her lap and consoled and loved the baby. She fed him,
kissed him but she was always next to him.
In the evening Abhimanyu came and entered babies room carrying sleeping Abhir in his arms.
Akshara was lying down next to Abhish.
"Hey sweetheart, how is Abhir now?" Akshara asked getting up and making place for Abhir beside where Abhish was sleeping.
"He's better now. He cried for two hours, Akshu..." Abhimanyu said helplessly .
"Come here my baby...' Akshara kissed sleeping Abhir's banded forehead.
then Akshara hugged Abhimanyu.
"look at this scratch-machine Abhish,sleeping without any care of the world, you know he scratches my face also every morning..."
Abhimanyu said looking at sleeping Abhish, and slightly smiling for the first time in these hours.
Abhimanyu rubbed his forehead, slight rashes were still there.
"I'm not going to leave him today when he wakes up." Abhimanyu scolded his younger son lovingly.
"We have to teach them to become responsible persons tomorrow, and I believe you Abhimanyu. You are the best father, anyone can have, you will be the role models for them, like you're the role model to many today..."
Akshara kissed his forehead.
They went to their room after making sure babies are sleepinng and baby monitor is on.
At night Abhimanyu was passing through the corridor outside babies room attending a call he went inside. Abhish was crying badly.
"What's wrong with him?" he asked the nannies who was almost scared of Abhimanyu after last encounter.
"Sir. Actually he's missing Abhir baba, They both play together and sleep together, but today Abhir baba is sleeping with Akshara Ma'am, so he's missing him." Nanny said.
"Give him to me and you can go to sleep now." Abhimanyu stretched his arms and the nanny gave the baby to Abhimanyu and went out .
Abhimanyu held him and placed his head on his shoulder.
"Abhish, my son." Abhimanyu kissed his head,
"Abhir is your elder brother naa, you have to love him, respect him, and not to scratch him" as Abhimanyu spoke, Abhish listened carefully. Though he didn't understand even a single thing, but he listened to Abhimanyu very keenly and slept on his shoulder.
Abhimanyu entered his room, with Abhir sleeping on his shoulder.
"He slept?" Akshara awed, his both sons looked so adorable while sleeping.
"Yeah, I made him understand that he has to learn a lot of things, and the first thing is, love and respect for his elder brother!" Abhimanyu felt proud of teahing.
"As if he understood even a single thing, come here my boy" Akshara took the baby from Abhimanyu
and laid him down on the bed.
"Excuse me? Where will I sleep?" Abhimanyu mentally calculated, there was hardly any space on bed
to accommodate his six-feet tall frame.
"There..." Akshara pointed a finger at the couch setting the blanket on babies.
"Really? Is this why I made you a mother, so you could throw me on couch and enjoy a deep sleep with our babies on my lavish bed ?"
"Okay then, you sleep with the babies, and feed them if they wake up in the middle of the night,
and I'll enjoy my sleep on the uncomfortable couch, deal?"
Akshara stretched her hand.
Abhimanyu mumbled something and lied down on the couch. Being a mother was tough, but being a father was impossible!
