"I’m so sorry ," sonakshi said honestly. This was going ruin everything; he wouldn’t want her now that she had killed their baby, Was the kind of thoughts she had.

He bent his head and kissed her forehead. “Doll, you have nothing to be sorry for.” he whispered, moving closer to her. Dev hands rubbed circles on her stomach, so softly that she could barely even feel it. “This is my fault, I'm not a good mom.” she cried, sobbing again.

Within few minutes they reached the hospital, Dev looked at sonakshi biting her lips in pain. He looked like he was in pain too as he fussed over her, brushing her hair away from her face, kissing her gently, murmuring soothing words.

"I’m gonna pick you up, OK?" he said softly. She shook her head, she didn’t want to move as the pain in her left side stomach was too hard. “No, don’t. Please don’t,” she whispered as he casually carried her and rushed inside the hospital.

While sonakshi was taken to the emergency ward Dev called kunal and asked him to come. Without question Dev anything further kunal came immediately to the emergency ward leaving all the discharge procedures of kuhu.

"What’s wrong with her?" Kunal asked, he got scared looking at Jatin and Dev stare at him with their eyes holding tears. "She’s pregnant," Jatin explained as Dev found it hard to talk.

As kunal stepped inside to check on Sonakshi, he asked Dev to follow him.
"What actually happened?" He questioned in his top voice, hardly not hearing anything from sonakshi. "She's carrying a child,kunal. Doll, did you hit your stomach really hard?” Dev asked, holding her hand tightly. She nodded, scared to move in case the pain got any worse, sonakshi couldn’t cope with much more. "How far along is the pregnancy?" Kunal questioned. "I don't know exactly, yet to take ultrasound test." Dev replied making kunal more clueless.

"Does it hurt anywhere else like, hip?" Kunal questioned wearing his surgical mask. "No, just my stomach." Her reply made kunal feel better.

"OK, sonakshi, I’m going to have to have a look and see if your cervix is open,” he explained, pulling on some gloves. Sonakshi looked at Dev, horrified, gripping his hand tighter. “Shh, everything’s OK. I’m here. Everything’s fine,” he soothed, rubbing his free hand over her face gently. She cried out as pain shot through her, making fresh tears fall as kunal did his examination. Dev kissed her tears softly, looking at her, heartbroken. "Nothing serious, Dev. I don't think she's crying in pain may be fear. Don't get scared." Kunal tried to calm her down, he took few minutes to think.

"I will do the ultrasound test and I'll  inject you with pain killer." Kunal injected sonakshi with few drugs and asked for a portable ultrasound machine.

Kunal came back and sonakshi watched as he squirted some gel on her stomach and pressed a little thing that looked like a small microphone to  her stomach, rolling it around. He observed it clearly and moved the transducer probe near her left abdomen. Sonakshi didn't move her head, she felt she wasn't strong enough to look at the empty sac.

"You don’t want to see?” kunal asked , looking a little confused. She shook her head . “No. I can't see my baby suffering." Dev and kunal laughed looking at her almost cry in fear. "Is he fine?" She asked turning her towards the screen.

She almost had tears in her eyes, looking at the tiny foetus. She saw the bit of spotting as the fertilized egg burrows into the lining of her uterus.
"The baby is in the size of vennila bean seed " she screamed happily and Dev gently rubbed her forehead. "She's safe." Dev said kissing sonakshi's cheeks. "All good, it will be more better if we remove a part of your spleen." Kunal's words wasn't reaching Dev and Sonakshi as they admired their little baby.

The both understood that their baby will never be short of love, she was already cute making her parents find it really hard to move their eyes from her. "Dev, listen." Kunal yelled closing the screen to just bring them back to sense. "Kunal, you didn't even let me admire my baby." Sonakshi complained and Dev supported her. "I will give you the reports in 10minutes both of you sit and admire till the baby is born or placed in your hands to admire. Now, listen to me first." Kunal tried to explain the seriousness, Dev waited for him to speak wiping the tears of joy from his eyes.

"See, she needs a mild surgery. We need to remove a small part of her spleen. Then everything will go fine." Kunal assured, sonakshi denied as she felt it would harm her baby. "No, it's risky for the baby. I almost lost him, already. Now, I don't feel the pain too." She said getting scared and also lied about her physical pain.

"Do you think he will put his daughter In law's life at risk?, Doll." He teased, sonakshi just asked Dev to hug her. The environment turned better calm and sonakshi agreed for the surgery as Dev gave her  the courage she needed.

"Right, well, I’ll go and make sure there’s an operating room free. It’s a very quick procedure. No need of admitting her in the hospital to, you can take her home." Kunal stated, nodding at Dev and he left quickly to make the arrangements.

"It's like I just got back my life, our baby is fine. Dev, it's like even he fought with us. I feel like we three over came this together." She hugged him as he rested his head on her chest and softly placed his hand around her stomach. "Yes," Dev kissed her cheeks and she was blushing hard.

"I love you,” he whispered over and over in her ear, until kunal came back and took her off to the operating room. Dev followed sonakshi, kunal was fine with Dev staying in the operation theatre with sonakshi but she didn't want him to be with her and get scared, she felt she already gave him so much tension.

"I love you more than anything, Doll” he promised. She smiled at his word and he gave a soft kiss on her eyes.

Dev went to meet Jatin."anything serious?" He asked, "She's fine and baby is..." Dev dragged a little. "Fine?" Jatin asked being curious. Dev just hugged him right and whispered a yes in his ear. "I just can't believe we became old." Jatin's
made dev smile. "Yes, you already started getting grey hairs too, looks like my baby will call you grandpa instead of uncle." Dev teased, jatin was happy to see a cheerful Dev.  He didn't say anything further as looking at him so happy left him speechless.

They both broke the hug, sitting on the bench jatin rested his hands on Dev's shoulder. "I hope she's fine." Dev said to jatin after explaining about sonakshi's ruptured spleen to jatin. Dev was little happy that it was her spleen which got damaged and not her embryo. Jatin went to check on Riya leaving Dev alone for some time.

His eyes got stuck to the operation ward door, ten minutes passed; thirty minutes past. He got scared thinking she's in danger. He started feel negative looking at the closed door, the door finally opened.

They wheeled sonakshi out of surgery, she was still asleep from the anaesthetic. Dev jumped up quickly, looking her over. “Is she alright?” he asked desperately, skipping along next to her and took her hand in his. "The doctor will speak to you." The nurse said and pushed her down the hallway.

Dev followed kunal to his cabin to just enquire about sonakshi's health. "Everything went well. I removed really a tiny part from her spleen, nothing dangerous for sonakshi or the baby. She’ll be fine. She should start to come around from the anaesthetic within the hour. We’ll keep her in overnight, she looks week and let her go tomorrow morning sometime. She’ll have to take it easy for a day or so, I'm asking her to stay in the hospital as now it will be hard for her to travel as it's too early after the surgery.” kunal confirmed. Dev nodded and hugged him tightly. "Thank you so much, kunal." He said becoming emotional, "From when did you start being so grateful to me" kunal teased, he rubbed his back to make him feel better.

"Okay! I need to sign the discharge papers for kuhu. I will prescribe some medicines to sonakshi and take leave from you." Kunal prescribed some mild dosage tablets to sonakshi and gave it to Dev. Later, they both left from kunal's cabin.

As Dev went to check on Sonakshi, kunal went to check on kuhu. Dev entered sonakshi's ward, sitting beside her bed, holding her hand tightly. Jatin and Dev sat silently next to her bed, there was nothing to say, other than wait for sonakshi to open her eyes.

After about few minutes, she moved her hand against his hand, he jumped up from his chair quickly as her eyes fluttered. This was the second time in these few months that she’d woken up to him like this and he just prayed to God that she never did it again, because he couldn’t take any more of this. “Hey , Doll” he murmured, stroking her face lightly, "I'm fine, so strong and fit." Her words made him smile in relief.

"I know, you are fine." Dev kissed her gently. She whimpered and gripped the front of his shirt weakly as she kissed him back. “I love you so much , Dev,” she whispered. “I know you do, but I still love you more,” he countered. No one ever loved anyone as much as they loved each other. Jatin cleared his throat so Dev could pull away, he still held her hand tightly. He leant over and hugged her.
"Congrats. My little sister is going to be mom." He screamed in happiness making Sonakshi look at Dev and smile.

"I'm going home as Riya already is in home. You both take care." Jatin said, he kissed sonakshi on her cheeks  before leaving sonakshi with Dev.

"Will you lay with me?" she croaked. He nodded and climbed carefully onto the bed with her. "Are you in pain or anything?” Dev asked as he wrapped his arm over her gently. "Not really. I'm happy, I don't feel any pain.” She winced as she moved on the bed. He closed his eyes and buried his face in the side of her neck. "You need to stop scaring the shit out of me. You’re seriously going to give me a heart attack soon," He teased, trying to bring a smile on her face which looked dull. She laughed."I'm too tired, Dev." She yawned taking his hand near her stomach. "Have some food and sleep." Dev made sonakshi to eat and then handed over some painkillers, she initially denied it thinking too many pain killers would affect the baby but later after Dev saying it won't and assured her, she consumed them.

He then forced her to drink plenty of water. She found it too lazy to consume the tasteless water but after her constant force, she drank enough of water.

she scooted over on the bed, wincing slightly but trying not to show me it hurt. "Don't sleep in the chair we can share the bed." She said opening her arms for him, he didn't want to sleep next to her just because he thought, he might kick her stomach by mistake in sleep and hurt her. "No, I’ll sleep in the chair, Doll,” he protested, grimacing at the thought of  squeezing her.

"Please ,Dev?” she begged. "NO" was his answer again. "Listen, to be honest, I can't sleep as my stomach is hurting a bit but when I hear to your calm heartbeat that rhyme would make me sleep soon." She showed him, a pity face chewing her lips. "Damn it , why can’t I say no to this girl?" He said, making her blush hard, kicking off his sneakers, he climbed onto the bed with her. She snuggled into his chest and cried herself to sleep. "Sleep, the pain will get reduced." He kissed her forehead as she placed her ear on his chest.
