|NAINA|

|3 months later|

I sighed and stared my reflection in the mirror. I groaned in anger and tried to button my pants for the millionth time. It popped open once again. "No this can't be happening!!!" I love this baby to pieces but the bump that was now on my stomach restricted me from buttoning up my pants.

I love the baby bump and so did Viraj but it's so unfair that all my clothes were tight. I sat on the bed and stared at the bump. Viraj entered the room and I looked at him with a frown.

He raised his brows and sat beside me. He leaned his head and kissed my bump. "Hi baby! Daddy loves you!" He whispered against my stomach like he has been doing everyday for the past few months. My heart fluttered everytime he did it.

After that he came close to my face and kissed my lips. "Good morning Naina!" I glared and pushed him away. He sighed and a small smile played on his lips. Not my fault my mood swings were in full swing. Besides he's used to it.

"What's wrong?" I stood up and pointed at my reflection. "Look at me! I look like a whale." I threw my hands in the air. Viraj sighed and wrapped his arms around my waist. "You look beautiful Naina! You don't look like a whale! Even if you do you are a cute whale! Also our baby is in there!"

I pushed him away and turned to face him. "You don't understand! Just look at yourself, you look so prefect! Not a hair out of place! Your body is not changing! You have the body of a Greek God! On the other hand look at me! My pants don't even fit me anymore!" I was at the verge of crying when Viraj pulled me towards his chest.

"Naina! God, calm down! Your mood swings are driving insane." I was about to protest when he placed a finger on my lips. "Shh! You're so beautiful! Your body is beautiful. We have a little one growing here. Your bump is so cute." Viraj rubbed the baby bump with his palms.

I sighed and wrapped my arms around his waist. "Who says my wife isn't beautiful? You're practically glowing Naina!" Viraj kissed my forehead and hugged me closer. I sighed and sniffed his cologne feeling at peace for a moment.

But then something struck me. I shoved him away and glared at him. "You know what this is all your fault?" Viraj's lips morphed into a playful smirk. He crossed his arms across his chest. "Really? Aren't you the one who said it takes two to tango?" I screeched and shoved his shoulder.

"Whatever! It's still your fault! Your back doesn't hurt and you don't feel uncomfortable or the urge to pee at weird times!! It's always me! Your feet don't swell up!" Viraj appeared unphased, instead he had an amused look on his face. He was by now used to me throwing all these accusations at him. It was kind of our daily routine.

"My bloody pants don't fit anymore!" I threw my hands in the air and kicked them with my legs cursing the entire time. Viraj bit his lip trying to control his laughter. If he laughed he knew I would make him sleep on the couch so he shut his mouth.

I walked to the wardrobe and pulled on my comfy oversized pyjamas. "Naina! Come on it's okay! We'll go buy some new clothes for you!" I scoffed and walked away to Veer's room. He's the only person who I don't find annoying and irritating.

He was busy reading something. I was so happy that he's a book lover just like me. I laid on the bed beside him and peeked into his book. Thank God it was the weekend. I'm so happy for that. Veer smiled at me and kissed my cheek.

"Hi Mumma! Papa irritated you again?" See I told you this happens everyday even he knows the routine. "Yeah! He's so annoying!" I know I was being unreasonable but I don't care, my rational brain is on vacation. Veer giggled at my reply.

"Only you're the best!" Veer grinned at that and patted my cheek with his small hand. He passed my book from his table and told me to relax in his cute but stern voice. I rolled my eyes, Viraj had trained him well. But I loved both my boys so much.

Veer placed his head against the bump and began talking to it. I smiled and caressed his hair. He does this everyday. He already loves this baby so much. He kissed my stomach one last time and went back to reading his story. Veer was engrossed in his book and I was engrossed in mine.

Viraj knocked on the door after a few hours. He grinned at me while I just glared at him. He entered the room and gave me a glass of orange juice. I mumbled a thank you and drank the juice taking big gulps. I was really thirsty.

He took the glass from me when I was done and placed it on the table. He smiled at me and passed a paper bag. "This is for you!" I stared at the bag curiously as Viraj asked me to see what was inside in the bag. I opened the bag and found a few maternity clothes. Oh my god! My heart is literally melting. My husband is such a sweetheart.

My eyes glistened with tears as I looked at him. His grey eyes gleamed with happiness and he was grinning. "Did you like them?" I threw my arms around his neck and hugged him tightly. " You went shopping for me? That's so sweet of you! I'm sorry I acted that way."

Viraj laughed lightly and rubbed my back. "Naina! Don't be sorry! You have every right to feel the way you want!" I sighed and pecked his lips. "Me, me!" Veer exclaimed and jumped between us. "Okay!" I laughed and hugged him tightly. Viraj kissed his one cheek while I kissed the other one. Veer was a giggling mess.

"Time for lunch both of you! Come on!" Viraj pulled Veer and I towards the dining hall. He helped me sit on the chair and Veer climbed on the chair that was next to mine. "So, today's lunch is broccoli soup because it's healthy. Then for main course we have Chapati and Vegetable curry. Dessert is cookie dough ice cream."

I liked the starter and dessert but main course was not so nice. "Viraj, I really want to eat biriyani." Viraj gave me a stern look and shook his head. "Naina you've been eating a lot of junk this week. That's enough! Give it a rest for today. You will eat what I give you!" Viraj served the food on my plate before I could protest.

"Your Mumma is such a kid Veer!" Veer giggled nodding his head. I glared at Viraj and stomped my foot over his. He hissed but gave me a small smile winking at me. I scoffed at him and ate my lunch. I will later make him serve biriyani for me by hook or crook.

After eating we sat on the couch and watched some movie on the television. I was so exhausted that I leaned against his shoulder and fell asleep. I could feel someone brushing my hair and kiss my forehead.

The next time I woke up I was in my bed and a light blanket covered me. I pushed it away and looked at the clock to see that it was already 6pm. I searched the entire house for Viraj and Veer only to find them in the backyard playing football as usual.

Viraj looked so handsome. I wanted to have him right there. Oh god! My hormones were driving me crazy. I sat on the porch and took a deep breath trying to control my feelings.

After a few minutes Veer rushed to me and sat on my lap carefully. "Hi Mumma!" He greeted me with a kiss. "Hi Veer!" I kissed his cheek and hugged him tightly. I could see Viraj glancing at us with a smile on his face.

"Come on let's go inside!" Veer stood up and Viraj pulled me on my feet. I gasped as he was so close to my face. Viraj smirked and kissed my cheek. He winked at me and walked away. I groaned, idiot did that on purpose.

He made dinner, we lounged on the couch for a few more minutes then Viraj and I put Veer to bed. I sat on our bed with a sigh. Viraj sat beside me and switched on the television. "Naina I think you should sleep! We have an appointment tomorrow!" I smirked, because I had different plans.

I moved towards him and straddled on his lap. Viraj let out a husky laugh and shook his head. "Really? Right now?" I smiled and slammed my lips against his. Viraj growled and wrapped his arms around my waist. I smiled against his lips and moved my lips down his neck.

Viraj's chest vibrated as he moaned. Suddenly I felt something weird in my stomach. "Woah!" I pulled away and breathed out. "What's wrong?" Viraj asked with a concerned expression on his face. My face morphed into a smile as I relized it was the baby moving.

"I think the baby just moved!" Viraj grinned as he placed his palms on my bump. "Really? Isn't that a bit soon?" I shook my head and smiled at him. "No! It's actually on time. The books say that at around 20 weeks the baby starts to move and I'm at 20 weeks." Viraj made a wow face and kissed my forehead.

"Although you won't be able to feel it for another few weeks." He smiled and laid me on the bed. He kissed my bump and mumbled an "I love you baby!" He hovered over me and placed along sweet kiss on my lips. "I love you so much! Now sleep! I promise we'll do this tomorrow after the check up. I want you to rest now."

I was about to protest but Viraj shook his head and placed a finger on my lips. "Please for me!" I sighed he, hugging him tightly I feel asleep. The next morning we dropped Veer off at Annie's place. Arjun was finally posted here so Veer was more than happy to spend time with Meera.

Viraj drove us towards the hospital. I scrolled through my phone while we waited for our turn. I had been working from home for the past few months. I still believe that Viraj intervened and spoke to my boss about giving me an early maternity leave. Although he swears he has nothing to do with it.

The baby seemed to have pushed on my bladder once again . I groaned and told Viraj that I was going to use the washroom. He smiled and nodded his head. Right after I came out the nurse called us. Dr. Sita was my gynecologist was a sweet woman in her mod forties.

"Naina lie down on the bed. You know the routine." I nodded my head with a smile. Viraj stood beside me as the doctor applied some gel and moved the probe over my belly. The monitor screen displayed an image of my baby.

My eyes glistened with tears and I gripped Viraj's hand. The image before me was the most beautiful sight ever. My baby now had small fingers and toes. "Oh my god!" Viraj whispered and his voice cracked. "That's your baby. Everything looks normal and your vitals are good as well." She pressed on a few more buttons and the sound of heartbeat filled the room.

My heart melted everytime I heard it. There's a life growing inside me. Viraj grinned widely and kissed my head. After the check up the doctor gave me a few more instructions after which we left the hospital. She prescribed me some vitamin tablets. Viraj bought it from the pharmacy. He truly was a gentleman.

We picked up Veer on our way and we had a quite lunch. We had a lazy Sunday. Viraj left for a few hours because he had some important work. While I spent the rest of my day with Veer. Viraj came back when it was time for dinner. After dinner and putting Veer to sleep, as promised Viraj gave me exactly what I was craving for yesterday.

|5 months later|

I was nearing my due date and I was exhausted. I can't even move my feet at times but I don't care I would do anything for this baby. It was midnight and I was wide awake. Viraj was snoring beside me. I really didn't want to sleep.

I was craving for a cookie dough ice cream right now. I hate to wake him up but my cravings were really high. "Viraj! Viraj get up!" Viraj jerked and sat upright on the bed. He glanced at me frantically. "Are you okay? What's wrong? Is it hurting? Should we go to the hospital?"

I smiled at him innocently and shook my head. "No! I'm fine calm down!" Viraj sighed and touched my huge baby bump. It had grown so much over the past few months. I had a very active baby in there.

He or she would move around whenever Viraj or Veer would talk to the bump. It was such s beautiful sight to witness. He relaxed and took a deep breath. "What is it?" I scooted closer to him and kissed his cheek.

"I want ice cream, please! The cookie dough one! It's there in the freezer! Please get it for me!" Viraj laughed and nodded his head. "Of course ma'am!" He kissed my forehead and walked out of the room. My husband never complains, it baffles me as to how many new things I discover about him everyday.

After a few minutes he walked into the room with a bowl of goodness. I squealed and snatched it from him. He chuckled and leaned his head against the headboard. "This is so good!" I moaned taking evey bite. He smiled tiredly and kissed my cheek.

"Hey, I'm really sorry to disturb you! I'm so sorry. You must be tired!" Viraj scowled at me and shook his head. He wrapped his arms around my shoulders and pulled me closer. "Naina, it's my job to take care of you! I love you and this baby! I don't mind at all!" I chuckled and pecked his lips.

Viraj chuckled and so did I when I flet the baby kicking against his hand. "This kid sure does loves you a lot!" He grinned widely and pushed the shirt that was covering my bump. He kissed the bump and laughed when the baby kicked his face.

I still remember the awe expression on his face when the baby kicked for the first time and he felt it. It was indeed a beautiful experience. Veer would even sing cutely to the bump and that's when the baby was active the most. They already shared such a strong bond. On the other hand it's always active whenever it hears Viraj's voice.

"I love you too baby! You're the best! Don't disturb your Mumma so much. Let her rest for a while! I promise we'll play later." The baby moved a few more times as Viraj spoke close to the stomach. I chuckled every now and then, eating my ice cream.

"Yeah I know baby! She's is annoying at times!" I rolled my eyes while Viraj grinned widely because the baby had kicked one again. "Did you see that? She agrees with me!!! I love you baby! Now go to sleep and let your Mumma sleep!" He kissed my bump.

"She? You think it's a girl?" Viraj smirked taking the bowl from me. "I know it's a girl! Look we're already so close. She even agrees that you are stubborn and annoying all the time." I scoffed at him and shoved his shoulders. "Oh shut up! Let's see if it's actually a girl or a boy. Want to bet?"

Viraj gave me a playful smirk. "You're on Mrs. Gupta! You will give me whatever I want when I win and you can ask whatever you want if you win. Deal?" I thought about it for a while and shook his hand. I have nothing to lose.

"Deal! What do you want though?" He got up form the bed and winked at me. "That's for me to know and you to find out! Now go to bed! You must be tired!" He tucked the blanket around me and kissed my forehead. He left the room to keep the bowl in the kitchen. I was so tired, I fell asleep immediately.

The next two days were pretty normal except for some discomfort in the abdominal area. That was expected. My parents had arrived a few days back. Veer was really close to them. My parents loved and doted on him too. They always showered him with many gifts.

I was sitting on the couch and watching a movie with my dad. My mom was as usual in the kitchen whipping up something for me. I told her so many times that I didn't want anything but she wasn't ready to listen. Viraj was at work and Veer was in school.

Suddenly, I felt a stabbing pain in my abdomen. I screamed and grabbed my stomach. "Naina what's wrong?" Dad asked me and held my shoulders. Mom rushed into the hall and was screaming something. I couldn't hear anything. My ears were ringing.

"Come on Naina! Let's go to the hospital." I groaned in pain once again as another contraction hit me. "But ma there are still a few more days!" My mom scoffed and grabbed a bag. My dad helped me sit in the car.

He sat in the driver's seat and called Viraj on the way. "Don't worry son! We're taking her to the hospital right now." Either my senses were super high or I heard Viraj ask something to my father with a frantic voice.

"Viraj calm down! She's fine we're here with here. " My mom sat beside me and held my hands. I felt something weird. "Mom! What is happening?" Her eyes widened as she asked my father to drive faster. We finally reached the hospital and I was wheeled towards a room.

I laid on the bed and felt something. The doctor came in and told me that it was time for the baby to come. "Naina you're in labour. So get ready. Don't worry I'll be right here. If you want you can have someone in your room." I sighed and groaned when I felt pain once again.

I was breathing through my teeth as my mom told me to calm down. Suddenly the door of the room slammed opened. I saw my husband standing there and breathing heavily. He rushed towards me and brushed my hair. "Are you okay?" I glared at him and shoved him away.

"Oh shut up! You don't know shit! You're never touching me after this!" I screamed at him. My mom and the nurse in the room laughed. His eyes widened and he sighed. He was about to touch me when I slapped his hands away. "Don't touch me!" I gripped his hands when I felt another contraction hit me.

"It's okay Viraj! Don't take it personally. I'll wait outside. Call me if you need anything!" My mom patted his cheeks and left the room. "Hey relax. It's okay. Remember breath in breath out!" I nodded my head and followed that.

After what felt like a life time I screamed and pushed the baby out. The baby cried and Viraj sobbed when the doctor announced, "Congratulations It's a girl!" I smiled as they cleaned her up and handed her over to Viraj.

Viraj carefully sat next to me and I stared at our daughter. She looked so tiny in his arms. The doctor smiled at us. "Congratulations Mommy and Daddy! The baby and you are absolutely healthy. Take care of her. If you need anything just push that button. Someone will come here."

We nodded our heads. Viraj carefully placed her in my arms. I glanced at her. She was awfully quite for a new born. Her eyes were shut and her tiny hands were in fists. Viraj kissed my forehead and hugged my side to his chest.

"I win the bet Mrs. Naina Rao Gupta! Now you have to do whatever I ask you do to." I laughed and pecked his lips. Tears fell from my eyes. "Hey! Why are you crying? Our baby is safe and healthy." I smiled through my tears and shook my head.

"They're just happy tears! I'm so happy right now!" Viraj smiled as a stary tear fell from his eye. "Me too! Thank you for giving me a daughter!" I shook my head and smiled at him. "I love you!"

"I love you too!" I leaned and kissed his lips. My baby started crying in my arms. "Hey shh! It's okay. Mumma and Papa are here!" I swayed her slowly in my arms. After some time she calmed down. Viraj was staring at her intently.

He held both her hands and then her tiny legs all the while muttering something under his breath. I frowned at him. "What are you doing?" His face suddenly broke into a huge smile.

"Naina our kid is perfect. She has exactly 10 little fingers and 10 toes. Look at her face! She's so perfect! She looks exactly like you!" I laughed and went back to admiring my baby.

I have to disagree here. She looks exactly like her father nothing like me. Viraj caressed her tiny fist with his finger she opened and wound her tiny hand around his finger. He laughed and kissed her knuckle. It was so cute. "Hey Naina, your dad went to pick up Veer! I think we have a bunch of visitors who are waiting outside to meet her!"

"Can you go see if Veer is here and bring him in? Also I just want it to be the four of us for a while. I don't want to be bombarded just yet please!" Viraj smiled nodding his head and kissed Tanya's head. Yes we had already decided that if it was a girl then we would name it after his mom and if it was a boy then his name would have been Ankith.

So my baby's name is Tanya after all. "Okay I'll be back in a minute." I smiled at him and nodded my head. "Of course I'll stay right here with Tanya!" Viraj whipped his head and his eyes were misty. "You're actually naming her Tanya?" I grinned and nodded my head. "Of course!" He placed a long kiss on my head and whispered I love you.

"I'll be back in a minute!" His voice cracked as he left the room. I leaned my back against the pillows and stared at Tanya. I ran my finger over her cheek. She whined and blinked her eyes open. I gasped as I stared at her beautiful grey eyes. My baby had inherited her father's eyes.

She stared at me and moved her tiny hands above her head. "You're so beautiful baby!" Just then a very happy and chirpy Veer along with an amused Viraj entered the room. Veer grinned widely when he saw me. He rushed towards me and tried to climb the hospital bed.

Viraj laughed and helped him. "Mumma I have sister?" He asked me while glancing curiously at the baby in my arms. "Veer meet your younger sister Tanya!" I lowered my arms as Veer's eyes widened and his mouth fell open.

"She's looking at you!" I took his hand and placed it on her head. Veer stared at her for sometime and his face broke into a huge smile. He stroked her head slowly and giggled. Tanya on the other hand was cooing at him. Her tiny lips moved as she made cute noises.

Viraj was recording the entire scene between both the siblings. "Do you want to hold her?" He looked at me and smiled. "Can I?" I laughed and nodded my head. "Of course big boy! Viraj a little help?" Viraj nodded his head and pocketed his phone.

I passed Tanya to him and pulled Veer on my lap. Veer held his arms out and Viraj slowly placed her in his arms. I took most of her weight. Veer giggled and stroked her finger. "Mumma! She looks like a doll!" Viraj laughed and I kissed his cheek.

"She does huh!" I ruffled his hair. He pushed his finger into her tiny fist and she automatically curled it around his finger. "Tanny! You're so cute! I protect you!" Veer softly cooed at her. My heart melted listening to what be had just exclaimed. I glanced at Viraj who was looking at our kids with pride.

He wrapped his arms around my shoulders and kissed my head. "Thank you for giving me a family Naina!" I shook my head and smiled at him. "You don't have to thank me! You deserve all the happiness." Viraj chuckled and wiped his eyes.

"Okay, then are you ready for visitors now?" I shook my head and stared at Veer who was talking to Tanaya with an animated voice while she stared at him curiously. "Just a few more minutes please!" He nodded his head and admired them just like I did.

Before all our family members entered the room I called for a nurse who thought me how to feed my baby. It wasn't easy but the nurse was really patient. I sighed in relief when Tanya began eating. Veer and Viraj waited outside with the others.

A few minutes after that our friends and family surrounded the room cooing at Tanya. She was showered with so much love and blessings. I searched around the room for Viraj. I finally spotted him standing a few feet away and glancing at everyone with love in his eyes.

He locked his eyes with mine and grinned widely at me. He mouthed "I love you!" And I did the same. I was happy to see him so content and carefree. In such a chaotic and a messy world we had somehow found each other and made our own little world of happiness. My life was finally complete.
