Don't be sad.Just read it with a smile on your face 🤗❤️

~

Preeta was standing in front of the mirror caressing her belly with a baby bump.She was five months pregnant and now her stomach was showing up causing her to smile wide knowing their baby was growing inside.

And, Karan was standing leaning to the wardrobe watching her cautiously.She did gain a little weight but looked cute than before.There was always an eye catching smile on her face which made him smile seeing her.

She was so cautious during her pregnancy and he too was being a best husband by pampering her day and night.Taking care of her cravings, her mood swings, her temporary anger, her sweet talks and her stubbornness all together.

He never argued or said no to her because he knew the baby growing inside her made little changes in her and it was their baby.If she was carrying it accepting all the changes then it was his duty to take care of her needs and happiness.

What makes her happy? What makes her sad? Which food does she like to eat? Where does she want to go? What makes her feel special and which words make her anger calm?

Every little thing mattered and he was truly enjoying the journey of her acting like a baby sometimes.He already named her child, and now she was behaving like a baby and he accepted all her tantrums with a smile because he knew that was what she always craved for.

"Babydoll"he called walking near her and fenced his arm around her waist from behind making her smile wide.

"See, our baby is growing"She said showing her baby bump and he nodded kissing below her earlobe.

"And, I can't wait to meet our little life"He said facing her before sitting on his knees and caressed her belly earning a smile from her.

He kissed the baby bump and snuggled there carefully.Preeta smiled caressing his hair and said,

"Mujhe bhi.But baby needs to grow more.This much"She said forwarding her hand showing her future baby bump and he chuckled.

"Yeah and we will wait for you baby"He whispered against her belly with a soft smile.

"Mein aur moti ho jaungi"She pouted and he giggled before standing in front of her.

"Toh kya hua? You will look so cute and these chubby cheeks gonna be my favourite"He said pulling her cheek and she chuckled resting her head on his.

"I love you"She said kissing his chest.he smiled and kissed her head.

"I love you too babydoll"He whispered hugging her close.

"When are you leaving?"She asked realising the time.

"In another half an hour.Aur tum hospital mein zyada kaam mat karna.Rest and attend only if there is emergency.Waha tumhe uneasy feel hua toh ghar aake rest karo.Maid ko bolo she will prepare whatever you want.And do not forget to eat fruits in between"He informed her and she smiled shaking her head in yes.

"Tum daily yahi bolte ho.do not worry husband"She said and he shook his head.

"It's my routine now and I won't forget to remind you"He smiled while holding her.

"Pehle toh itna caring nahi the, abb baby ke wajeh se hai na.Tum abb sirf baby se pyaar karte ho"She pouted moving away from him and he quickly pulled her back into his arms.

"Oh my baby.I love you more than anyone and you are my first in everything.Do not be jealous"He chuckled nuzzling on her cheek.

She smiled hearing him and her cheeks turned red feeling his warmth.

"I am not jealous" she grinned.

"You were"he smiled kissing her cheek and she faced him with a shy smile.

"No, mein humara baby se jealous nahi.Mein chahti hu baby ke papa hamesha aise hi baby ke mamma ko itna care and pamper kare"She giggled and he laughed listening to her.

"Oh! I promise you that baby ke papa baby ke mamma ko hamesha itna hi pamper, pyaar aur care karega"He smiled kissing her forehead and her smile widened with his words.

Her hands went around his neck and she hugged him with love.He caressed her hair lovingly and snuggled in her neck inhaling her scent.

💗

Preeta and Karan were sitting in a restaurant and He was admiring her while eating.

The way she was moaning in delight tasting the delicious food while her other hand over her visible baby bump.She looked so beautiful and adorable at the same time.

"Umm"She exclaimed licking her lips and he gazed at her lips where the curry was stuck and he couldn't help but to imagine licking it off with his own lips.

The sounds she made were making him shift and he composed himself knowing they were in public.

"Stop making those noises.I know you are enjoying the food"He said gazing at her and she stopped eating before staring at him.

"Just taste this.You will love it"She smiled forwarding him the bite and he shook his head.

"I am full"He denied and she twitched her lips before eating.

"And what noise..."she stopped realising his words and widened her eyes.

"Chi chi..Tum bhi na.kya kya sochte ho"She made faces and he laughed listening to her.

"Can't help.And before I grab your face and lick that curry, you should clean your lips"He winked and her eyes widened more.

She grabbed the tissue and wiped her lips with cute glares.

"Let me eat peacefully.Baby ko aaj bohot bhook lagi hai"She complained cutely and took another bite.

He laughed listening to her.

"Baby ko ya baby ki mamma ko"he asked causing her to snap at him.

"Dono ko.Baby ke wajeh se hi toh zyada bhook lag rahi hai"She replied making faces and he nodded with a chuckle.

"Yeah"he said and she resumed her food ignoring his gazes.

After completing the dinner, they reached their car and Preeta's gaze went to the ice cream shop.

"Karan"She called before he could open the door for her.

"No more ice-cream for you"he cutely glared pulling her towards the car.

"Tum leke aaoge ya nahi?"She pouted and he shook his head.

"Fine, I can buy too"She was about to walk forward when he stopped her.

"Already tumne dopeher ko ek pack khatam kiya hai.Raat ko khaogi toh cold ho jayega"He said and she shook her head in no.

"Kuch bhi nahi hoga.Tum bas leke aao.Mujhe abhi chahiye"She commanded and he frowned at her.

Knowing she won't give up ice cream he went and brought an ice-cream for her.

"Thank you"She cheered licking her lips and took it from his hands.

He opened the car for her and she sat inside.Coming to the other side he sat inside and looked at her licking the ice-cream in joy.

He started the engine and drove towards home.He turned to look at her and his throat dried and he blinked his eyes squeezing them remembering something.

"Umm"She whispered catching his gaze and he looked at her before parking the car aside.

"Why?"Preeta asked with a frown.

He instantly caught her hand and stopped her from licking it more.Her brows furrowed and she looked at him raising her brows.

He simply moved from his seat and bent a little to shift towards her seat.Before she could ask something he angled her seat backward and lifted her hand from which she was holding ice-cream.

"Wha...?"Her words stopped when he smirked before claiming her lips.

She blinked her eyes and tilted her head back feeling his lips on her suddenly.What has gotten into him?

His lips sucking her lower ones made her feel giddy and she gave into the kiss while kissing his upper one.

He was hovering over her without shifting his weight on her and she felt timid when he tasted the ice-cream in her mouth.

Their tongues touched tasting each other and she moaned in the kiss closing her eyes and her other hand clutching his shirt.

She felt her head dancing and her stomach twisting with the sensations.The hold on the ice-cream would have loosened if he didn't have held her hand firmly.

"You are fucking tasty"He whispered parting his lips and she gasped for breath staring back into his dark orbs.

"What was that?She blinked her eyes still breathing hard and he rubbed her lower lip with his thumb.

"I felt like kissing you"He said casually and she raised her brows.

But a smirk adored her lips when he took her hand near his mouth and licked the ice-cream looking into her eyes.

Her stomach coiled and she gripped his shirt more biting her inner cheek.She pulled him closer and he raised his brows at her.

She gazed at the ice-cream glistening on his lower lip and licked her own lips causing him to trace her earlobe.

She shivered leaning to his touch and leaned to his face.She parted her mouth and stuck her tongue out to lick his lips slightly causing him to close his eyes at the feeling.

Simultaneously she sucked on his lips making him part them and respond to her.Their lips moulded together for a heated kiss and their hunger didn't calmed even after kissing for minutes.

And the proof was he pinned her against the wall as soon as they entered the home and kissed her senselessly.The way he touched making her feel loved and kissed each inch of her.And the sweet and passionate love they made till midnight and he slept caressing her seven months baby bump.

💗

Finally the day arrived for which he was anxious and they waited for nine months.He was impatiently walking here and there in the corridor of the hospital outside the OT.

His head beat was abnormal and the voices of her crying and moaning in pain was aching his heart like anything.

Preeta's mom was with them for the last one month when her ninth month started.And, right now she was confronting him saying nothing will happen and she will be fine.

The doctor had said that they needed to do a C-section delivery as the placenta was surrounded around the baby's neck.It was complicated and the doctors said that it would be risky for the baby if they wait for the normal delivery.

Listening to it Preeta instantly accepted which the doctor said and was ready for it.Karan too agreed and was waiting for the good news and also to see his wife.

There was no risk but still the thought of stitches on her belly was aching his heart and he was dying to see his wife and baby fine and healthy.

The time passed and he stood in front of the room praying to God.And when the door of the room opened and he heard a crying sound of the baby his heart beat raised giving goosebumps to his body.

It was their baby.Their baby and the thought itself brought tears to his eyes.

"Congratulations sir.It's a girl"The doctor said standing in front of him and he blinked his eyes before composing himself.

Their babygirl!

His heart filled with immense happiness and joy that he wanted to cry in his wife's arms while sharing this news.

"And Preeta? How is she?"He inquired and the doctor smiled.

"She is also fine.Nothing to worry"the doctor informed and he nodded with moist eyes.

"Kya hum usse dekh skte hai?"Preeta's mom asked and smile wasn't leaving her lips after listening to the good news.

"Nahi abhi unhe thoda rest karne dijiye"Doctor informed.

Karan nodded and his eyes immediately shifted to the nurse who was coming towards them with the baby in her hands.

Goodness!His heart skipped a beat gazing at her wrapped in a cloth.

"Sir, apki beti"the nurse said forwarding him the baby and he blinked his eyes as tears gathered again.

"She is too small"his mind said and he looked at his mother-in-law, who was in the same condition as his.

She too has tears in her eyes and sides hugged him feeling emotional.

"Lo, dekho apni beti ko"She said and he thinned his brows before forwarding his hands to hold his tiny little heart.

Her eyes were closed and seemed like she was now sleeping and the way she was wrapped in a white cloth made him adore her without blinking his eyes.

Only her mini face was visible and he smiled with tears as he went on gazing at her face keenly taking a note of her tiny features.

Her red face, those little eyes, the tiny dark red nose.All he did was to capture the memory in his mind and leaned in to kiss her forehead.

"My Princess"He whispered lifting his head and looked at his mother-in-law admiring her granddaughter.

"Karan sach mein yakeen nahi hota meri beti ki abb ek beti hui hai.Woh hi ek bacchi thi aur abb ye.Kitni pyaar hai, kisiki nazar na lage"Sarla smiled meekly caressing his angel's forehead with her fingers.Karan smiled listening to her.

"Lijiye app bhi dekhiye.Mein tab tak mom dad ko inform karta hu"Karan said excitedly and Sarla nodded before taking the baby in her hands.

"Apki mamma apko dekh ke bohot khush hui hogi.Bilkul apki mamma jaise ho"Sarla said gazing at the baby and smiled in content.

After a few minutes the nurse came and took the baby.

"Ma mom dad dono nikal rahe hai delhi se.Aur Papa ji bhi.Shaam tak yaha pooch jayenge"Karan informed his mother-in-law.

"Koi jaldi nahi hai, unhe aram se ane ko kaho.Yaha hum hai na aur tum jake pucho Preeta ko dekh sakte hai kya"Sarla inquired again and Karan nodded before walking towards the nurse.

"Can we go inside?"He inquired about her.

"Ha.woh abhi so rahe hai.Lekin aap dekh sakte hai"The nurse informed, and took him inside the room.

"Lekin ek ek karke ayiye"Nurse added.

"Karan tum pehle jao.Mein baad mein jaungi"Sarla said and Karan nodded before following the nurse.

He walked inside and saw his lady love laying on the bed.Saline was attached to her hand and he smiled gazing at her sleeping figure.

He sat beside her and lowered his head to kiss her forehead carefully.

"It's a girl.And ma ne kaha ki tum bhi waise hi thi.She is so small and cute.Abb tum jaldi se utho"He smiled lifting her other hand and kissed it.

Being a woman was not easy and he realised it since she was pregnant.Even with the sickness and mood swings she didn't forget her job and also to take care of herself.He was there for her but still the one who should suffer and feel was her and he was really proud of her.

Those slight back pains during her last trimester, the way she struggled to sleep on side, the way they enjoyed the baby kicks.It was all beautiful yet he was concerned for her at that moment.And when she got the labour pain, it was so painful for him to see her moaning in pain.

And delivering the baby was not easy and now seeing her laying with the needle pierced in her skin clenched his heart.Even if he wanted to take her pain it wasn't possible and he sighed caressing her hair with a soft smile and moist eyes.

"I love you so much"he whispered caressing the back of her hand and sat there for a few minutes.

After some minutes the nurse came with the baby and placed in the crib.Karan meekly walked towards it and his heart danced seeing their daughter.

Now she had her eyes open and it made his heart bloom in happiness.She was blinking her eyes turning her eyeballs here and there making him smile feeling overwhelmed.

"My little heart.My baby"He exclaimed leaning towards her again and kissed her little red cheek.

She curled her fingers again blinking her eyes and stuck her tongue out meekly.He raised his brows in surprise at her actions and forward his finger making it curl her tiny fingers around it.

It was her first touch and so soft that he felt like a flower.She wasn't crying and that made him stunned.But he was glad that she was simply gawking here and there blinking her eyes trying to close them.to sleep.He thought.

It was so beautiful to watch that he didn't want to take his eyes away from her.He sat there watching her and meekly caressing her with a soft smile till the nurse came and checked on Preeta.She changed the saline and again walked out of the room.

Preeta's mom too came and looked at both baby and her with a smile.She too sat there waiting for Preeta to wake up.

Another hour passed and Karan was walking here and there impatiently.He was dying to see his wife awake.

"Sir, Aap Jake mil sakte hai.She is awake"The nurse informed and a wide smile broke his lips.

"Ma, mein jake milta hu Preeta se"Saying he ran inside and Sarla chuckled seeing his excitement.

"Preeta"He smiled seeing her awake and still laying on the bed.And the most adoring scene was their daughter laying beside her.

The scene captured his heart and he instantly ran towards them.

Preeta smiled weakly and looked at him.He sat on the bed beside her near his daughter's feet and held her hand before kissing it again.

"Kahi pain ho raha hai? How are you feeling?"He asked worriedly.

"I don't feel anything below my waist region"She said and he nodded twitching his lips making her hold his cheek and kissing her palm.They were warm causing him to snuggle.

"Tumhe hosh ane tak mera dil hi nahi lag raha tha.Mein toh meri Princess ko dekhte baitha tha yahi"He said gazing at their daughter and smiled emotionally.

"She isn't crying.Dekho kaise so rahi hai"He said caressing her cheek and chuckled.

"Hmm"Preeta nodded and smiled tilting her head to look at their babygirl.

"I want to cuddle and feel her"She whined and he smiled.

"Abhi nahi babydoll.Stiches hai toh aise hi raho thodi der"He informed holding her face causing her to pout.

"This still feels like a dream.We are with our daughter and I am still not able to believe this"She exclaimed getting emotional seeing their baby and Karan nodded with a wide smile.

"All thanks to you.For making this dream real and beautiful.You are the light of my life Preeta"He said leaning towards her and pecked her lips.

He was about to peck her again that the baby started crying and he raised his brows before looking at her.

"Oh! why my baby"He said holding her tiny hand and her face turned all red.Her lips widened as she started crying more and eyes got narrowed causing Karan's heart to sink.

"She is hungry.It's been hours"Preeta whispered caressing her face and Karan sighed seeing the nurse rushing towards them.

"Baby ko feed karna hai"She informed and Karan stood up but his daughter's soft cries were making him worried.

"She will be fine"Preeta assured him and he nodded smiling at her.

The nurse took the baby in her arms and walked towards Preeta.

"Should I go out?"He asked and Preeta shook her head in no.

"No, stay"She whispered and smiled seeing her daughter as the nurse gave in her hands.

"Aise hold karke feed kijiye"The nurse said and Preeta nodded.

Baby snuggled in her chest and when she felt her mother embrace her cries decreased.Preeta smiled before holding her closer and kissed her face before attaching her tiny lips close to her breast.

The baby shifted away crying again and Karan thinned his brows sitting beside her worriedly.

"What happened?"he asked anxiously and Preeta looked at him.

"First time na.That's why maybe"Karan nodded listening to her still feeling restless as her cries increased.

Baby snuggled to Preeta's bare chest but was still crying making her parents worried.

Preeta too twitched her lips and again brought her close to her breast.This time she placed her palm over her mother's chest and Preeta made her latch to her nipple.

Now the baby parted her lips and stopped crying instantly.Her tiny lips moved around her mother's nipple as she started sucking and Preeta looked down at her with a moist eyes.

Karan smiled gazing at his daughter as she silently layed on her mom's chest while filling her stomach.It was the best feeling and the look Preeta had on her face said it all.

"Um, she is giving me the best feeling"Preeta said caressing her and Karan nodded seeing their tiny human snuggled to her mother like her life was dependent on her and it was true though.

"She is so beautiful"He muttered holding her properly.

"Hold her through butt and another around her neck"Preeta informed and he held her carefully as the baby was all busy drinking her milk.

"God..this is so difficult.She is so tiny and I am scared to hold her"He said causing Preeta to chuckle.

"Kuch nahi hoga.You will get used to it now"She replied smilingly and He nodded with an exciting smile.

"Can't wait for that"He said, looking at her tiny face all calm, eyes closed and lips moving.Preeta sighed and rested her head behind.

"Are you feeling tired?"Karan inquired and Preeta nodded.

"Feeling sleepy"She said and he chuckled.

"Well, I think abb meri angel bhi so jayegi.Tum bhi so jao.Mein ma ko andar bulata hu.Mom, dad aur tumhare dad bhi aa raha hai.I need to pick them"He informed her with a smile.

"Ha, mom ne dekha isse?"Preeta inquired.

"Woh toh keh rahe the, tum bhi aise hi thi"He said causing Preeta to smile and nod.

"Hai na?"She said and He nodded kissing their daughter's head.

She shrunk and stopped sucking.And instantly karan bit his tongue when she started crying again.

"Aw! My baby do not cry"He said turning her again towards Preeta's chest and she stopped crying and latching her mouth again.

"Don't touch her now"Preeta said with a chuckle and he shook his head in fear.

When she was done drinking she stopped and they didn't even get when she slept.Preeta meekly laid on her side with the help of Karan and he placed their baby on the bed.

"Comfortable?"He asked and Preeta nodded.

"Mein ma ko andar bhejta hu.Take care.Mom ka call aa raha hai shayad pahuch gaye honge"He asked kissing her forehead and Preeta nodded with a soft smile.

💗

It has been three months since their daughter was born and the happiness had no bounds.

Their home was lit up with her arrival as if she had brought more joy and love with her.

Preeta was at home for two months as she required rest and even after that she only went if it required her presence.The other two doctors were handling the surgeries and patients making her stress-free and spend time with her daughter as she needs her mother in her early stage.

Preeta's mother and mother-in-law were living with them to take care of Preeta and the baby since their baby was born.

"Aw, Ayra chodo mamma ka chain"Preeta smiled gazing at her daughter, who was snuggling to her chest gripping her nuptial chain.

And yes, they named her 'AYRA' a few days back with a grand naming ceremony which included their friends and family members.

Ayra twitched her lips making in a meek voice causing Preeta to smile wide at her baby actions.

"Are you missing papa?"Preeta asked trying to remove her hold but Ayra tightened her grip making gibberish sounds.

"Ah, leave he will come in the evening and he's gonna hold you, he's gonna kiss you, he's gonna hug you.He won't even leave your side for a minute so, now leave this ayru"Preeta smiled making her hold loose and kissed her chubby cheek saying,

"Good girl"

"Abhi tak uthi hai?"Rakhi entered the room and asked smilingly.

"Ha ma"Preeta nodded and Rakhi sat on the bed beside the Ayra.

"Hey, Ayra"Rakhi said holding her little fingers and Ayra turned to lay on her back gazing at her grandmother with twinkling eyes.

"Khana khaya apne?"Preeta inquired and Rakhi nodded.

"Ha, hum dono ne kiya tabhi.Aur tumhari mom so bhi gayi abb"Rakhi informed and Preeta nodded caressing Ayra's tiny hair.

Ayra kicked her legs dragging herself towards north causing Preeta to twitch her lips and stop her.

"Dekho kaise upar jati hai abhi ye"Rakhi smiled helping Preeta to drag her down to properly make her lay.

Ayra lifted her hands and mewed causing Preeta to laugh at her reactions.

"Isse bilkul disturb nahi karna.Shuru ho jati hai"Preeta smiled snuggling to her and Ayra sealed her lips before snuggling back to her neck.

"Ye dikhne keliye tumhare jaisi hai but harkatein karan ki jaisa hai.Ye bhi aise hi tha zyada rota nahi tha, lekin ziddi bohot.Feed Karu toh chup chap so jata tha"Rakhi informed and Preeta chuckled in return.

"No ma naak toh bilkul Karan ke jaisa hai, and a dimple bhi"Preeta replied poking Ayra's cheek with a smile.

Ayra pulled her mother's dress near her chest and started making gibbrish sounds gaining their attention.

"Bhuk lagi abb Ayru ko"Preeta said in a baby voice pulling her cheek and smiled.

"Haa tab se khel rahi thi.Abb tum bhi isse feed karke so jao.Mein bhi jati hu"Rakhi informed kissing Ayra before walking outside the room.

"Patience my baby"Preeta chuckled, looking at Ayra, who's lips were on her mom's covered chest.

And as soon as her stomach started filling her tiny legs started to hit Preeta's belly making her feel ticklish.

"You make me so happy dear papa's Princess"She said caressing her head along her back with a content smile.

Soon Ayra slept and woke up in the evening exactly when her father would arrive.And that was a treat for Karan to see her beautiful eyes gaping at him silently.

"Papa is here"Preeta cheered listening to the sounds of him talking with his mother and mother-in-law.

"What's my baby doing?"Karan entered the room removing his tie followed by belt and placed them aside before running towards his daughter who was now all alert and cheering listening to her father's voice.

"See, she always wakes up exactly ten minutes before you arrive"Preeta chuckled gazing at Ayra, who was now looking at her father with a wide smile causing him to make her laugh more.

"Just a minute princess, papa will be back washing his hands"Saying he ran inside the washroom and quickly changed his clothes and came back to the room to sit on the bed along with their daughter in his arms.

"What did you do all day princess?"He asked sweetly kissing her cheeks causing Ayra to kick her legs with a soft smile.

"Seriously Karan.Tumhe dekh ke jaise smile karti hai na.Waise kisi ko dekh ke nahi karti.She is always happy to see you"Preeta said smiling at him and he chuckled gazing at Ayra who's smile was widening with his each sweet words.

"She is Papa's baby.That's why"He smirked making a pout causing Ayra to smile lifting her hands to touch his face.

She caressed his pout with a smile causing Preeta to adore the way he was making her happy and smile.

"I missed you my Ayra"He said kissing her small lips and hugged her closer.

"Ayra tell papa that we missed him too"Preeta smiled looking at Ayra whose head was over his shoulder and she immediately jerked back causing Preeta to hold her.

"And papa missed Ayra's mamma too"he said looking at Preeta and then made Ayra to face him.

"No, she wants you to hold her like this"Preeta laughed making her lay back on his lap and Karan raised his brows at her.

"Usse disturb nahi karna.Woh kaisa chaahti hai waise hi pakdo"Preeta suggested knowing her daughters antics.

"Isn't she the cutest? Mere Sara stress khatam ho jata hai isse dekte hi.I literally come running to her everyday"Karan said causing Preeta to kiss his cheek.

"She is.But tum na nazar mat lagao"She replied causing him to look at her unbelievably.

"Meri nazar nahi lagega usse"He said and Ayra yawned causing Preeta to wide her eyes.

"No, abb so jayegi toh raat ko bilkul sone nahi degi"Preeta pouted and Karan laughed listening to her.

"Tum bhi woh jab soti hai tab so Jana"He suggested and Preeta shook her head.

"Mein baby thodi hu ki baat baar neend aayegi mujhe"Preeta sighed.

"My baby wife"he said and Preeta pouted playfully hitting his shoulder.

"What? Ayra still doesn't know that her mamma is such a child.And I need to take care of two babies from now onwards "He said with a smirk and Preeta glared at him.

"Seriously? Tum abb bhi mujhe woh child nahi bula sakte.I am a doctor, a wife and a mother now"she raised her brows at him.

"Woh ho.But for the outer world and people.But mere samne toh tum child hi ho.Dekho abhi bhi choti choti baton pe kaise tumhe gussa a jata hai"He said pointing towards her nose and Preeta slapped his hand away while fuming.

"Ughh.I am not a child and agar tumne mujhe fir se bulaoge toh baat nahi karungi"She scoffed twitching her lips and stood up from the bed.

"I am going.Agar rone lagegi toh leke ana"Preeta informed.

"I can make her silent.I am a father now"He replied and Preeta thinned her brows listening to him.

"No you can't.Because she cries if she is hungry and you don't have what she wants to make her stop from crying "Preeta retorted causing Karan to wide his eyes and turn to look at her.

Preeta smirked noticing his shocked face and walked away before he could say something.

"She is dangerous! Isn't she?"He asked his daughter and she sucked on her thumb in return.

"Don't do that"He said with a pout removing her finger and kissing her tiny hand.

"Aa...Aaannn....Annn"Ayra started crying and he widened his eyes shaking his head.

"Oww.. what happened Ayra"He asked patting her chest but she jerked increasing her voice.

"Stop stop"He said lifting her up and she stopped blinking her eyes staring at his face.

"That's my Princess"he smiled kissing her nose and started meekly lifting her causing her smile and to giggle meekly.

"See mamma said I can't make you stop.I did it right princess"He asked with a smile and kept doing that causing her to smile and laugh along with him.

Her little smile was so heart melting that he didn't want that smile to leave her face.She was their little heart and he promised the day she was born to keep her happy no matter what.

"I love you so much Ayra.My Angel"He smiled hugging her close and Ayra placed her head on his shoulder while he kept walking in the room near the glass window showing her the view.

💗

It was night and Karan was playing with Ayra making her smile and laugh laying beside her.She was five minutes months old and now she would listen to whatever they say keenly though she doesn't understand.

It was his daily routine to give time for her when he returns.Making her smile, laugh, and talk to her endlessly, and gaze at her as she falls asleep.It was so beautiful to see and he didn't want to miss anything.

"No one is Missing me"Preeta climbed the bed and sat on the other side of Ayra.

Ayra smiled widened seeing her mother and she forwarded her hands saying her to pick.

"Aww...my baby is missing me.Come Ayru"Preeta said in a baby voice and was about to pick Ayra that Karan pouted snaking his arm around Ayra.

"Princess cheating.Mamma agayi toh kaise aap ja sakte hai.It's our time right?"He pouted and she twitched her lips ignoring him.

"Baby tell your papa that it's Ayra and Mamma's time to sleep"Preeta said jerking his hand but he fenced it again pulling Ayra closer.

"Princess tell that it's our time to sleep with you"He said causing Preeta to fume and glare at him.

"Haa Ayra tell him that mamma doesn't want to spend some time with him, she is fine with him being away from mamma.Baby what papa does these days? He comes to you after the office calling princess and doesn't even care to look at your mamma who misses him as much as you miss him.And He gives numerous kisses, hugs to you but not even a one for mamma.Is this fair Ayru...tell what mamma should do now?"She asked in a babyish voice gazing at Ayra who was now touching her face with her hands.

Karan who listened to her placed palm over his mouth and shook his head in disbelief.

"Babydoll"He whispered.

"Yeah.So mamma too gonna do the same now.You are with me right?"She pouted and entwined her fingers with Ayra and kissed her hand acting to be sad.

"Preeta Stop.I was stressed last night because of the meeting and all.Aur subhe bhi ussi tension mein tha toh jaldi jaldi mein gaya"He reasoned.

"Yes.I won't listen to him.He didn't say anything clearly about that right?"Preeta replied still gazing at Ayra without meeting his gaze and he pouted at his wife's actions.

"You were about to sleep and Ayra was crying too.So I thought not to disturb you.That's it"He again cleared but Preeta shook her head arrogantly and placed Ayra safely towards the headrest and lay beside her.

"He could have told me that right baby.And did he ask me why I am ignoring him?"Preeta asked her daughter who now shifted closer to her and started pulling her shirt.

"See, talk to me now.I didn't even know you were ignoring me"He said with a cry baby face and sat behind shaking her shoulder.

"Ayra, tell him we are busy"Preeta said causing him to glare at her.

"Babydoll, I am sorry okay.I won't do that again"He whined laying behind her and meekly placed his arm around her waist.

"I am sorry, baby"He whispered snuggling in her neck from behind and inhaled deep as she smelled like Ayra.

"You smell exactly like her"He said softly caressing her curve and Preeta shivered closing her eyes.

"I love you babydoll"He whispered against her earlobe and kissed causing her to look at him.

A smile adorned her lips and she flared her nose causing him to lift his head and kiss her nose.

"I am sorry"He smiled sheepishly and Preeta pouted before turning back towards Ayra who was drinking her milk.

"So gayi?"Karan asked dragging his hand lower to touch Ayra that he caught her feet and Ayra jerked away kicking his hand feeling ticklish.

"Do not do that.She will give me hard time here"Preeta said but Karan smirked before ticking her little toes causing Ayra to stop sucking and turn her face.

"Karann"Preeta fumed jerking him behind when he peeked and looked at his daughter raising his brows.

Ayra giggled joining her hands causing Preeta to smile looking at her.

"Karan if she doesn't sleep now, I am gonna make you sit with her"Preeta warned but he ignored ticking her toes again.

Ayra swayed her legs giggling hard and smiled in joy.

"Let me feed her first"Preeta pouted pulling Ayra back closer to her bosom and she instantly latched her mouth still kicking her legs on Karan's hands while enjoying.

"No, I want to make her laugh"he argued again ticking her and Ayra stopped again turning to look at him.

"No, don't"Preeta removed his hands pulling Ayra back but this time Ayra moved back causing Karan to smile at her.

"It's already Eleven.Let her sleep"Preeta whined but Karan went on making her smile and giggle while throwing her hands and legs.

"Okay mamma gonna sleep Ayru.You play with him"She huffed closing her eyes that Karan stopped biting his lip and made her snuggle to her chest causing Ayra to smile gaping at her mother.She again latched her soft lips around her nipple and her hand lifting upwards to caress her mom's face.

Preeta smiled hugging her back and kissing her head.Karan smiled leaning towards her over Preeta's shoulder and kissed Ayra's head causing her to trace her hand over his face making him smile at her.

After sometime Ayra slept causing Preeta to part with her and made her sleep on the crib meekly without disturbing her sleep.

"Blanket"Karan reminded and Preeta covered her with her little blanket.She buttoned her shirt and Karan made her turn in an instant making her lay on the bed.

"You were complaining about something"He asked placing a finger over her lips caressing them softly.

"Yes"Preeta replied shyly and pulled him over her through his collars.

Their noses touched causing their breath to mingle and Karan smiled before capturing her lips.She parted her lips and started sucking his lower lip feeling him as she closed her eyes.

His hand entered her dress and he caressed her belly where their Ayra grew.He really missed the feeling but seeing her looking at him was the best feeling and he kissed her hard remembering everything that she did for him and their baby.

She had become a little fat than before and he must say he loved her in every shade.

"I love you"He whispered parting for air and she smiled cupping his neck.

"I..I love you too"She gasped pulling him closer and kissed his whole face causing him to smile at her.

"I miss you and my princess all day.Even if I don't show sometimes never think that I am not caring about you or ignoring you my jealousy wife.You both are my life"He said causing her to bite her lip and smile.

"I am not jealous.I just want to spend time with you"She said nibbling his neck and he smiled before brushing his cheek with hers.

"I know, baby"He replied nibbling her earlobe and bit it causing her to grip his shoulder.

His fingers unbuttoned her shirt and her lips parted when his thumb rubbed and teased her aroused nipple.

"Ahh"She moaned softly as they were sore because their daughter possesion.He softly pressed her bosoms causing her to yelp and arch her back in pleasure.

"Was waiting for my turn"He mumbled against her bosoms with a sly smirk causing Preeta to shut her eyes at his words which made her stomach coil.

He started peppering kisses on her breasts making her feel relaxed and then his lips found her bud.He sucked them causing her to grip his hair and whimper in delight.

"Don't make noise"He whispered with a cocky grin and Preeta gripped his hair tight while biting her lips in return.

💗

Ayra turned eight months old and now it was getting difficult to hold her.She would run around the home crawling on her knees and make them run behind her.

And they have appointed a Nanny to look after her as Preeta usually goes to the hospital.In between she would come to feed her and go back.

"Ayruu"Preeta squealed as soon as she entered the living room to her daughter moving here and there in a walker.

Ayra turned to her mother and the smile that she gave in return seeing her made Preeta run towards her hurriedly.

"My baby.I missed you"Preeta said lifting her up and Ayra giggled showing her little teeth that started showing up.

Though it has been three hours, still Preeta would say that because it was difficult for her to leave Ayra and go to work.But the best thing was the hospital was downstairs making everything easy for her.

"Did you miss mamma?"She asked in a babyish voice sitting on the sofa and took Ayra in her embrace.

Ayra's smile widened as she snuggled to her mother taking her warmth that she was missing.She started speaking gibbrish making Preeta laugh and kiss her pouty lips.

She was a sweet kid who didn't make her parents worried.She would only cry if she was hungry or if someone takes something from her which she wanted.And even during night she would only wake up once or twice being hungry.

Preeta nibbled her face with her nose and Ayra placed her lips over her cheek parting them to give a wet kiss causing Preeta to smile and love her daughter more.

"Mmm...Mmm"Ayra mumbled snuggling to her mom holding her face while standing on her thighs.

"Yes baby.Try to say Mamma"She said hugging her closer and Ayra continued her baby voice while smiling and kissing her mother.

"No say...Mamma"Preeta insisted facing her and Ayra whinnied snuggling back to her face placing her lips on Preeta's nose trying to suck and bite it making Preeta to giggle in return.

"Aww.my Jaan"Preeta whispered kissing her whole face and Ayra grinned showing her dimple causing Preeta to kiss on it.

"Ayru got Papa's dimple"Preeta said causing Ayra to jump on her playfully and Preeta lifted her making her squeal in joy.

"Now let's fill your tummy"After playing with her for sometime Preeta lifted in her arms and walked towards their room informing her nanny to bring her solid food.

Preeta joined her legs and placed Ayra over her legs.Ayra giggled in return and swayed her legs.Preeta smiled before crossing her tiny hands and said,

"Now my Ayra gonna eat her food.Open your mouth like a good girl"Preeta said in a baby voice bringing a spoon near her lips and Ayra stopped smiling before turning her face.

It was Ayra's usual expressions whenever she would get a solid food.For Preeta it was difficult to make her eat alone as Ayra only asks her to feed.At night Karan would help Ayra to get distract and Preeta would make her eat in between.

"Abb mamma ko tang mat karo.Khao Ayru.I need to eat and go back to the hospital"Preeta said but Ayra seemed to care less about her mother's words as she started to wriggle in her hold knowing she would get the solid food.

"Just some spoons"Preeta said again forwarding the spoon but Ayra jerked it causing the food to fall on her cheeks.

And that was it, Her eyes squeezed and lips twitched as she started crying.Preeta instantly lifted her up and wiped her face with a pout.

"I know your antics.Stop crying"Preeta said wiping her tear drops and hugged her.

Ayra stopped crying and tilted her head to lower her hand and tugged her dress indicating Preeta to feed her.

"No, you are not getting dudu"Preeta shook her head and Ayra's face was worth watching.

"Annnnn..."She started crying loudly seeing her mother's rejection and started pulling her kurta with her tiny fists.

"Why didn't you eat this.You always do this.No dudu for you now"Preeta again teased her and Ayra's cry increased causing Preeta to embrace her instantly with a giggle.

"Oh my baby.If papa was here he would have scolded me for teasing you and making you cry"Preeta giggled making Ayra lay on the bed and she layed before her before removing the buttons of her dress and Ayra crawled to her chest still crying.

Preeta pulled her closer and started feeding her.The cute pink frock she wore made her look more cute and her chubby cheeks were so adorable that Karan always kept kissing and pulling them with love making Ayra laugh in happiness.

She was indeed a Papa's princess and his heart ached whenever she would cry.

💗

"Yes baby, stand"Karan cheered his daughter as she held the small chair and was trying to stand with its support.

Karan was holding the chair from the other side encouraging his daughter to stand on her own.

"Ayra..get up"Preeta smiled sitting behind her.

Ayra mumbled her baby voices and smiled looking at her parents and lifted her hand to hold the hand rest.Lifting her knees a little she bent trying to stand.

She was doing this for many days but would fall and everyday they would cheer and help her to stand.

"Yeah..hold this"Karan said smiling at her efforts and Ayra giggled before lifting herself more and stood causing Preeta's eyes to widen in happiness.

"OMG"Preeta squealed exchanging a glance with Karan and he squealed in joy storing that moment in his heart and camera together.

"That's my babygirl"He smiled and Ayra laughed standing for more seconds.Then She was about to lift her feet that her balance lost and before she could fall Preeta took her in her embrace with a giggle causing Ayra to smile more.

"Caught you"Preeta smiled kissing her forehead and Karan joined them while ticking her stomach.

Ayra started laughing filling their hearts with happiness and Karan smiled before kissing her chin.

"You did it princess.Now can't wait to see you walk and talk"He said kissing her tiny nose and embraced her in delight.

"Yes.Say mamma baby"Preeta said and Karan pouted.

"No, Say papa first"He retorted smirking at his wife.

"No say mamma baby"Preeta said gaining Ayra's attention.

She giggled playing with her fingers ignoring their parents silly arguments over whom she should call first.

"Ayra..say papa"Karan said holding her chin and She giggled before talking gibbrish.

"du...."She spoke causing him to frown and Preeta laughed seeing her daughter.

"No.Like this.Pa....Pa"He pronounced it for her and Ayra laughed at him showing her front teeth.

"Mmm..um"Ayra uttered lifting her feet and touching Karan's face.He smiled at her actions and kissed her bare feet and nuzzled his nose making her feel ticklish.

Ayra laughed out loud and squirmed in Preeta's arms.

Karan tickled her more and Ayra turned into a laughing mess.

"Ok enough enough"Preeta said lifting her up after a few minutes and smiled at her.

"She looks almost like you"Karan said shaking his arm around his wife staring at his daughter in her arms.

Her two little pony tails made her look cute.And a sky blue colour matching top and shorts was looking perfect on her tiny frame.

"Sab yahi kehte hai.But she got your nose and dimples"Preeta said turning to look at him and he nodded with a bright smile.

"Tumhare jaisa dikhti hai, but I will make sure she becomes like me"He giggled.

"Woh tumhare jaisa hi hai.Dekha nahi kaise gussa karti hai agar kuch nahi diya toh and Patience bhi nahi hai isse.She is like I want it right now"Preeta replied causing Karan to smile and take Ayra from her hold.

"Princess Ayra"He said and Ayra tried to jump clapping her hands.

"She literally brought so many changes and happiness in our lives"Preeta smiled placing her head on his shoulder.

"Indeed.Her little smile makes my day.She is a pure bliss"Karan said kissing his daughter's cheek while hugging her.

"Mujhe?"Preeta pouted and smirked internally.

Karan chuckled at his wife's fake jealousy and turned to her.

"You are my first baby and she is my second.I love you so much wifey"He said pecking her lips and Preeta grinned before snuggling in his neck.

"I love you more dear husband"She whispered tracing his ear with her fingers and kissing his earlobe.

"Aaaa...uu.."Ayra whispered while playing with Karan's shirt trying to pull it and they broke into giggle listening to her babyish sounds.

"She wants our attention"Preeta said pulling her cheeks and her gaze went on Preet.Shebforwarded her hands saying to her to pick.

"Aww..no Ayra cheating"Karan pouted and Ayra giggled seeing his expressions.

"Come baby"Preeta forwarded her hands  saying her to come but Karan didn't leave her and glared at her fake.

Ayra laughed more and dragged herself to move towards her mother.Preeta too giggled and lifted Ayra in the air causing her to laugh more.

Preeta hid her in her embrace and Karan frowned twitching his lips acting to be sad looking at Ayra.

Ayra stopped laughing and looked at her father, who had sad expressions on his face.She then gazed at Preeta who made a pout and signed at Karan.

"Papa is sad?"Preeta asked in a baby voice and Ayra's face turned serious as she looked in between her parents.

Preeta loosened her hold on her and just wanted to watch what she would do.Ayra kept gazing at Karan for a few seconds and blinked her eyes before getting down from Preeta's lap.

Preeta giggled internally and saw her heading towards Karan on her knees.

Whereas Karan still acted to be sad and turned his face to the other side as Ayra held him and tried to stand with his support.

Preeta looked at her being amused and Karan too was shocked at her.Whereas Ayra stood in front of him holding his hand and another on his face as she traced his face and leaned to place her lips over his nose.

That was it his heart screamed in joy and he couldn't stop himself from surrounding his hand around her to pull her closer and embrace her.

"Oh my Ayra"He whispered adoring a handsome smile on his face and Preeta smiled heartily at the father and daughter scene in awe.

"I love you so much princess"He mumbled kissing her forehead and Ayra smiled at him before snuggling back on his face to kiss his stubble cheeks.

"Mm..mmm"Saying Ayra peppered kisses over his face causing him to smile and look at Preeta who was smiling in return.

"She knows how to melt us"Preeta said and Karan shook his head not able to believe her sweet gesture.

"Sach mein.See she is not stopping"He giggled stopping her from kissing him and peeked at her chubby cheeks.

Preeta kissed her other cheek causing Karan to smile looking at them.He leaned and kissed Preeta's cheek causing Ayra to giggle loudly.

They both laughed looking at her and embraced her together feeling overwhelmed.She made their life more colourful and just like the meaning of her name 'AYRA' she was the beginning of them and a breath of their life.
