"Adi, I have something to tell you." I told him as soon as we entered our house. If he looked happy then, now he seemed worried of what might come from me.

"It's....nothing to be worried." I went to him, cupping his face in assurance. He leaned into my hands sweetly.

"Are you okay?" His whisper was so low that if I stepped a few centimeters back, I would not be hearing anything. He's afraid, I can see that in his eyes.

Dang it, I think I made him assume things with my quiet and unreadable reaction.

"I'm totally fine, Adi. It's just....I need to tell you something."

"Tell me then." He mumbled, waiting patiently for my reply.

"I might be....pregnant."

He froze for a second before his lips broke into a wide smile and he engulfed me into his arms, picking me off the ground to celebrate.

"Wait, Aditya!" I shrieked, getting shock because of his action.

He put me down right then. "I'm so sorry, love. The baby's fine right? Does that hurt the baby? I didn't realize-" He rambled in anxiety of hurting me or the baby so I placed my fingers over his mouth.

"Calm down, okay? I'm fine. The thing is, I might.....be pregnant. Which means I might also not be pregnant. It's unconfirmed yet." I let him know and his face fell, before rising up to pull me closer.

"So the first thing tomorrow, we are going to the doctor. Or better, I will run to the pharmacy real quick to get the kit? We will see the results ourselves right now and here?" He suggested, bubbling in excitement.

Hmm, why don't that cross my mind?

"Okay, let's do it." I accepted but was scared as well. I am excitement for us to be parents but what if it's a false results or even worse, I am actually not pregnant? He got so excited just as much as I do, so the impact will be on both of us.

He kissed my lips before waving me goodbye to leave to the pharmacy and I also told him to buy some extras to be so sure of it. He nodded with a smile and left.

What if I'm not pregnant? But his grandmother was very sure that I am. Can that be wrong? But I didn't get any symptoms. How would Aditya take this if I'm not? I should have make this a surprise for him but I couldn't contain this within myself. If there's one person who I couldn't keep up my thought or secrets, is my husband. So, dang it!

Few minutes later, I heard him coming in with the pregnancy kits and he accompany me to the washroom. I went in and did as per written on the note. I put the kit on top of the sink counter and placed it aside to check the result. It was to be shown in minutes but I was too nervous and flew right away. When I came out, he was standing right where I left him and he vibrated with eagerness. Patiently waiting for me to spill.

"I....I haven't checked yet. I'm too nervous, Adi! What if....I'm not?" I reflected my emotions. Maybe a common inferiority from every woman who's trying to have kids.

He cupped my cheeks softly. "So what if we're not? That would be completely fine, love. We would try again and again but don't put yourself down on our first attempt." He kissed my forehead and hugged me. "Whatever the result might be, our love wouldn't go any less."

I nuzzled into him while nodding slowly and I pulled away to ask him, "Would you come with me to check?" He never waited a second before saying a wild yes and I giggled before letting us in.

We were closer to the counter and I halted on my steps to be snuggled into my husband's chest. He placed an arm around my waist and I looked at the kits.

"What does it mean?"

Two lines. I have got two lines.

My eyes swelled in tears of joy as I gathered the kits on my palms, examining them keenly. Emotions to be not told, my husband read it from my reaction instead and he held them together with me while planting a kiss on my cheek.

"We are going to be parents, Adi!" A wimp of joy for being the first time parent which we longed for, made me to scream in excitement and I jumped into his arms. He took me in without a question and it was a neverending series of delight.

*****

It was quite eventful when it comes to opening up to our family members. My baby suddenly earned so many volunteering godmothers and godfathers. Grandparents and great-grandparents who's desperate for his or her arrival. Especially Aditya's grandmother who predicted it right and when I went to visit her, she was bubbling with happiness.

In short, it was a celebration for my pregnancy.

After getting to know, we went for the doctor and they confirmed the news as in three weeks pregnant. They prescribed some healthy routines and medicines that would help to be free from any possible complications.

Though just by the word of complications, Aditya became careful even though it was just a regular doctor advisory. He was indeed careful and caring around me at the early stage but after the doctor clarified that we might carry twins, his amount of pampering is overloading.

We had the greatest news from the eight weeks doctor check up. We were blessed for the God on deciding to gift us two bundle of joys at the same time. Aditya became running in circles just by checking the calendar every once awhile for their arrival and he was extra attentive since then, made me felt like a fragile flower who needs care and attention all the time.

Of course, I liked it. Especially from the love of my life sharing all his affection only towards me. Not to be cruel, I even started envying my future babies who will steal my husband without any effort. Though if I pictured them together, my heart would swell with endearment and I already don't mind getting jacked by them.

"My love, what are you thinking?" My husband's sweet voice woken me up from the trance of thoughts I had. He was looking me up from the below while I was seated on the sofa as he was on floor with his hands tenderly massaging my feet. I was reluctant to such way at first but when he got persistent, I eventually gave up.

I smiled at his way of calling me, the "my love" that would get me pregnant all again and preferred the most than the "my miracle". I caressed his face before leaning forward to kiss his forehead. "Nothing much. Just....about us."

"What about us?" He asked, eager to define my thoughts.

"About us, being parents for two little babies. The way you take care of me and our babies, we are lucky you know. To have you by our side." I said and he leaned onto my palms, accepting the warmth of my hand with a sweet grin.

He took his fingers to my belly and begin pecking kisses. "I'm the most luckiest for being the chosen one. I had you and now, I'm having another two like you. Miracles after the miracle."

I don't know whether it's his heartwarming speech or something that my babies are doing in my belly which triggered my hormones to be emotional. I sobbed and he chuckled before coming upwards to me. My now six months belly already challenging me to get closer to my husband. He laughed when I huffed to get him nearer and he came by sideways, engulfing me in a soothing hug.

Suddenly I was impulsive to crave this thing, especially on my six months pregnancy even though the doctor said that it's safe. I would want to avoid it because my husband must be tired of all the school, part-time job and taking care of me, but my imbalance hormonal body has a change of mind.

"Aditya." I rasped with my head rested on his chest while I was making patterns on his chest. He hummed softly.

I pulled up to look at him. "Are you....feeling tired today?" I had to make sure before I pounce on my inexorable craving. He had a broad smile before staring down at me in silence.

"Please just say something, Adi!" I whined, getting frustrated by each passing second.

"You're already undressing me, love. Do you have to ask some more?" He mumbled and when I gazed at my very own hands, I blushed when I found them almost finishing on unbuttoning his shirt.

I felt desperate and selfish out of sudden. I just acted on my body instead of the brain when I know that my husband had to get his rest as well. I pulled away abruptly, making a safe distance to protect him from my increased libido.

Not even a second later, he had me pinned down. His body slanted over me with such gentleness to not hurt our babies as his lips slammed on mine. It was fully demanding and passionate at the same time as if he couldn't hold back either. "I'm going to finish what you started, love." His deep groan was all I need to perish my craving and I noticed him getting off his shirt completely before kissing me back again.

"I will try to be gentle, all right?" The deep growl, almost passing me out with the amount of pleasure I needed. He kissed down on my body, inch by inch and stopped when he found his spot.

"Right where for only me to see." My cheeks burned in pinkness at his admiration on my tattoo in a very peculiar area.

He sowed kisses right on top of it and that was then, the prey got in his own trap just like a deer caught in spotlights when he miscalculated my sexual tendencies. He wasn't even trying to be gentle the whole night....or can we just say that I never let him to try anything gentle that night.
