"Swara, how many times did I said you not to run around. You are in the first trimester. It's harmful to our baby's growth!" Sanskar held Swara and yelled.

"I know it! But you know, I'm getting enthusiastic and excited so easily. So, when Uttara called me for a movie, I forgot everything." Swara justified herself.

"Now, listen. At first, you should hold your belly like this." Sanskar kept his hand on his stomach and instructed Swara. "And then, with your other hand, hold your waist." Sanskar held his waist and taught her. "Then you should walk like this." Sanskar started walking by shaking his hips like a woman.

"Sanskar, for God's sake, I'm just on my first trimester. I haven't even grown a tummy. And you are asking me to walk like a woman who is 7 months pregnant! You are unbelievable, Sanskar!" Swara shouted and walked away annoyed.

"Hey, Bhagwan! Look at my wife! I'm saying it for a good cause only. Anyone, please make her understand! See I have really hard worked in our 1½ month honeymoon trip to make her pregnant. And see, what I got in return!" Sanskar sighed and pouted.

When Sanskar became discharged from hospital, Swara arranged a surprise for him. It was a honeymoon trip to London. After 2 weeks of his discharge, Swara and Sanskar flew to London. And from there, Vansh and Sahil planned their wedding. Sahil didn't have anyone expect Swara as a family. And in Vansh's case, it was Veer and Aryan.

So, they invited their business associates and made the wedding very simple. Aryan and Arpita accompanied everyone before 2 weeks before the wedding. And Swara and Sanskar have consummated their marriage before 1½ months only.

"Oh, God! More than me, my husband is suffering from mood swings." Swara muttered and moved to Sanskar.

"And yeah! Your pouty lips or puppy face will not work here, okay. You can instruct your first wife about all these things." Swara fumed yelling.

"First wife? Hey, Bhagwan! My biwi has gone mad. Please, save me from her wrath." Sanskar sighed and wiped his fake tears dramatically.

"Of course, don't you remember...your the first wife is that thing," Swara stated pointing towards the laptop.

"Laptop?" Sanskar narrowed his eyes and asked. "Yes, nowadays, you are so busy with it naa," Swara complained like a child.

"No, Swara. I'm just trying to finish my works early as then I can take a year vacation." Sanskar smiled and said whereas Swara's eyes widen.

"What?! Are you serious? One year? Who will take a year leave from a company!" Swara glared him.

"I will! The great Sanskar Maheshwari will!" Sanskar said with a smirk.

"You are unbelievable, Sanskar. Anyways, I'm coming to the office tomorrow." Swara casually said.

"What? No way! You are not going anywhere!" Sanskar declared standing from the couch.

"I know, you will say this only. So, I have taken permission from 3 papas and 3 mammas." Swara said winning.

"Seriously, Swara! Wait, I will ask them." Sanskar said and walked away from the room.

Swara too moved behind him by holding her belly with a hand and hip with another. Later she realised her posture and yelled Sanskar's name for making her crazy like him.

"Maa..." Sanskar shouted for Sharmista as now Shekhar and Sharmista were living with Maheshwari's simce 2 months. It was Sanskar's order to make everyone under a roof till Swara's pregnancy as everyone would get an opportunity to pamper Swara.

"Yes, Sanskar...why are you shouting now?" Sharmishta came from the kitchen and asked being confused. Hearing his shout, Sujata and Annapurna along with Uttara came to the hall.

"My dear 3 moms, your pyaari daughter is planning to run away from this house to the office. And she is telling that you people have granted her permission." Sanskar dramatically sighed.

Sujata rolled her eyes at his antics whereas Annapurna and Sharmista gave him a what-are-you-upto look.

"Yes, Sanskar...we has given her permission. Actually, she has some final works in the office. That's why she is going. Also, you will be there naa, so it's fine." Sujata stated.

"Maa, you are her doctor naa...please, make them understand that it's harmful to the baby." Sanskar whined.

"Sanskar, I know you are protective of the baby and Swara. But listen beta, it's not at all harmful for the baby. In fact, it's good as Swara will get some fresh air from outside and she will be able to communicate with the outer world. I know, you have even taken her mobile as you think that it will cause radiation to the baby." Sharmista explained to him. Sanskar let out a sigh.

"Yes, Mom. He is not giving me my phone. It's so boring to sit in the room." Swara descended the stairs carefully and said.

"Swara, Sanskar is being protective. Everything is for your baby." Sharmishta tried to make her understand.

"Naah, Sumijii...it's called overprotective." Sujata made faces and said.

"Really? Then I will say your's is over caring!" Sanskar showed his tongue and said.

"Arree...now what's the actual problem? Swara going to the office, right?" Annapurna tried to avoid the conflict between Sujata and Sanskar. Everyone nodded.

"Sanskar, it's just for a day. You can take Swara and help her with her work. And in the afternoon, you can drive her back." Annapurna made a suggestion. Everyone nodded except Sanskar, who stood there on making faces.

"Swara, I really pity you. You really want to look after two babies naa..." Sujata controlled her smile and said. Annapurna and Uttara laughed hard.

"No, my son is a gem. He is matured more than anyone else here." Sharmishta supported him. Now, it was Swara, who made faces. Sanskar smirked at her.

-*-*-*-*-*-*-

"Aman, ask him to come inside," Sanskar ordered Aman through the intercom.

"I'm sorry, Sanskar. Please, forgive my son." Raj Khanna came inside begged Sanskar.

"Tsk...tsk...Mr Khanna...your son won't get bail tomorrow. And I will make sure of it. How could he even think about hurting my family?" Sanskar said in a dangerous way.

"Sanskar, I'm like your father, right? Please, forgive my son. I know if you think, he could get bail. I swear, I won't let him make another mistake." Raj Khanna begged again.

"You should have thought about it before bringing him back to the business world, Mr Khanna!" Sanskar shouted.

"Now, get out! And yeah, if you or anyone who is related to you, plan something against my family, you are gonna face another face of mine!" Sanskar shouted clenching his fists. Raj Khanna who got afraid ran from there.

Rishab Khanna was the youngest son of the business magnet, Raj Khanna. It was Rishab's first proposal which got failed in Mumbai infront Maheshwaries. So, Rishab Khanna without informing Raj hired a goon asking to shoot anyone from Sanskar's family in the success party for vengeance.

Sanskar, who investigated it from London, came to know about it. He asked Vishal and Aman to gather enough proof and submit it to the court. And Rishab was sentenced into the jail. Tomorrow was his second hearing. His father, Raj Khanna came to Sanskar, begging forgiveness. But Sanskar didn't showed any mercy as the target was Swara. Now, Rishab was in jail and he will be punished by law.

"Sanskar, what's Raj Khanna doing here?" Swara who came inside the cabin asked.

"Nothing, Swara. He was just begging forgiveness for his son's act." Sanskar replied casually.

"Really? He himself is a terrible person. And because of that his son too became like that. And now, he wants your forgiveness...my foot!" Swara yelled. Sanskar chuckled at her words.

"Calm down, Swara. Nowadays, you are really getting angry and annoyed at little things. Seriously, these mood swings are hitting you so badly." Sanskar giggled.

"Ohho! So now you are blaming my mood swings!" Swara came closely to Sanskar and said. "I think, you don't want to enter our room, right?" Swara thought for a while and said. Sanskar who heard this jerked and got up from the chair.

"Ooye...my dear biwi! You can't always blackmail me with this, okay! I was just saying that you are very cute because of this mood swings..." Sanskar faked a smile and managed to say.

"Really? Aww..." Swara flushed like a newly wedded bride. Sanskar forgot everything and drooled at her lovely.

"Sir, Ms Navya Chaval is here." A man informed through the intercom.

"Ask-, " Sanskar started to say. "Ask her to go to hell. I and Sanskar need to spent some time alone, Aman." Swara held Sanskar's hand possessively and said. Sanskar looked at her confused. Swara gave him 1000 megavolt smile.

"So, my biwi needs to spend some time with me, right?" Sanskar came closer to her. Swara moved back sweating.

"Why? What happened? Don't you want to spend?" Sanskar huskily asked in her ears. Swara pushed him and stood straight making her dress and hair properly.

"I know, there is something cooking up in your little brain. Spill the beans, Swara!" Sanskar raised an eyes brow and asked.

"Woh...Sanskar, you can't talk to a girl starting with N letter word, okay!" Swara ordered him. Now, Sanskar was really confused.

"N letter word? What's wrong with you, Swara?" Sanskar asked and sat near to her on the cabin desk.

"You know, Nita, Neha, Neelam, Lavanya...everyone's name starts with N," Swara stated.

"Okay, I agree. But Lavanya...it starts with L!" Sanskar went along with her.

"Yes, but it's have L. Lavannya!" Swara said by stretching the word N. Sanskar laughed hard.

"Seriously, Swara! You are looking at their spellings...but why?" Sanskar chuckled and asked.

"All of them are here to snatch you away from me, Sansku..." Swara suddenly became so emotional and said. Sanskar made a crying face seeing her mood swings.

"It's okay, Swara. But I love you, only." Sanskar consoled her on which, she blushed and gave him a peck on lips.

-*-*-*-*-*-*-

"Swara, please eat this too..." Sujata was forcing Swara to have the salad. After coming to know that Swara was expecting twins, Sanskar along with his 3 moms, started to care her more than anything. Now they won't even allow her to walk alone. Swara was on her second trimester. So, she was supposed to be careful.

"Please, mom...I'm full!" Swara tried to resist the salad. She has already drunk, two cups of soup and a glass of milk. Now, eating the salad was too hard for her.

"Swara, take it." Sanskar bought another cup of cereal mix from the kitchen. Swara tried to run.

"Don't move, Mrs Maheshwari..." Sanskar ordered on which, Swara stood there like a statue. Swara was really cute. Her tummy had grown and now she was looking like a teddy bear.

"Finish it quickly," Sanskar ordered again. Swara looked at with a puppy face. Sanskar turned his face as he knows, he will fall for her cute facial expression.

"Okay, I will..." Swara who understood that her puppy face and pouty lips won't work and ate the salad and cereals without any other option.

"Sanskar, day after tomorrow, Mr Adharv Chauhan and his family will be coming here for having dinner with us." Ram Prasad came and announced.

"Adharv uncle?" Sanskar turned his shoes and asked.

"Yes, they are going to meet Uttara unofficially. Actually, they are coming for a proposal to Adithya Chauhan, their elder son." Durga Prasad declared.

"Really? You mean Dr Aditya Chauhan?" Swara asked being excited.

"Yes, beta...Sumiji's friend, Dr Aarushi Chauhan's elder son." Ram Prasad said.

"That's good! I and mom personally know Adithya. He is a nice boy." Swara smiled and said.

-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-

"Sanskar, see I have become fat." Swara made a pout and said while looking at the mirror. Sanskar who heard that left a chuckle out.

"Swara, I think I have fallen in love with this cute chubby Swara more. You know, I prefer panda than a rabbit." Sanskar smiled and replied looking at Swara.

"No, you are buttering me." Swara pouted again.

"Trust me, Swara...you still have that effect on me. No matter how you become, fat or slim, my love towards you won't change." Sanskar said intensely. Swara blushed at his words.

"Sanskar, I need you..." Swara stood up hugging him.

"I'm here only, Swara." Sanskar smiled and broke the hug.

"I mean, you know...umm...im feeling so horny because of hormones." Swara flushed and said. Sanskar understood what she meant.

"Swara, even I'm not able to control seeing your cuteness. But it's harmful to our baby. In fact, we are expecting twins...so it's more dangerous." Sanskar tried to explain her.

"No...Sanskar...I'm sorry! But I'm not able to-, " Her words broke as Sanskar sealed his lips with her's. Swara responded to with equal passion.

"I love you, Sanskar..." Swara hugged him.

"I love you too..." Sanskar huskily replied.

"Sanskar, can I ask you something?" Swara asked Sanskar by lifting her head. Sanskar hummed as a response.

"Woh...whom will you love the most? Me or our baby?" Swara asked immediately when he hummed. Sanskar looked at her surprised and stunned. He wasn't expecting this question.

"Is that even a question?" Sanskar broke the hug and asked.

"Woh...Sanskar, I don't want you to love our babies more than me. In fact, I need your love and attention-, " Swara had tears in her eyes.

"Shh...Swara, I will love our baby, but not more than you. I can't ever forget the fact that you are the mother of my child. Swara, our baby is the symbol of our love. Our baby will complete us. And our baby will love us equally. So, you don't have to worry about me. And yeah, my attention and love will always chase you around." Sanskar consoled her.

"Swara, I know you are asking all these because of hormones. But trust me, after the arrival of baby...I swear you will love them more than me. In fact, you will pamper and care them more than you do for me. Because, it's our baby, Swara. And you will be the best mother in the world." Sanskar smiled and continued.

"I'm sorry, Sanskar. I don't know what's triggering me inside my mind. I shouldn't have asked you such a stupid question."

"Swara, we are life partners. So yeah, you can share your every thought with me. And I will do the same. So there is no place to sorry and thank you." Sanskar took Swara in his arms and said.

"Sanskar, I really wanted to go out. It's really suffocating inside." Swara said when he laid her on the bed.

"I can't take the risk...so no outing." Sanskar smiled and said.

-*-*-*-*-*-*-

"Arpita, look whether Uttara is ready." Sujata came from the kitchen and said.

"I'm going, aunty," Arpita replied and ascended the stairs.

Arpita was there at Maheshwari mansion as Aryan was busy on a business trip.

"Chauhans are here, Ram," Shekhar announced as he saw a car entering to Maheshwari mansion. Ram Prasad and Durga Prasad nodded and went outside.

"Please, make yourself comfortable." Ram said and welcomed everyone.

Mr Adharv Chauhan, father of Aditya Chauhan smiled and entered with everyone including his wife, Dr Aarushi Chauhan and his daughter, Aashi Chauhan.

"Where is Aditya?" Shekhar asked to Adharv as Aditya wasn't there with him.

"He got an emergency call from the hospital. So he went to the hospital. But don't worry, he will be hereafter sometime." Aarushi smiled and said.

"Arree...welcome...please, have a seat." Sujata came running to them. Everyone smiled at them.

"Hey Aarushi, how are you?" Sharmishta came and asked.

"I'm fine, Sumi...where is your daughter? I haven't seen her till now." Aarushi asked to Sharmishta.

Aarushi and Sharmishta were colleagues. Both were working in the same hospital along Aditya. Aarushi was a cardiologist, whereas Adithya was a neurologist.

"I'm here, aunty." Swara and Sanskar descended the stairs. Sanskar was holding Swara's hand and making to descend the stairs. Everyone smiled at them.

"Namaste, uncle and aunty." Sanskar bend and took blessings from them.

"Hey, Aashi..." Swara waved her hands. Aashi went and hugged her lightly.

"I will bring some snacks," Annapurna said and went. Sharmishta too accompanied her.

"So, where is Uttara?" Aashi asked everyone.

"She is getting ready." Sujata smiled and said.

Uttara along with Arpita descended the stairs. Uttara was looking so beautiful in magenta colour churidar. Arpita smiled and took blessings from Adharv and Aarushi.

"You are so beautiful beta," Aarushi commented. Uttara blushed like a tomato.

Sharmishta and Annapurna served the snacks. Everyone had a seat and started to have a random talk. Sanskar was taking care of Swara like a baby.

"Hey, everyone. Sorry for being late." An exhausted Aditya entered the mansion.

Uttara looked at him and fallen for first sight itself. Swara and Arpita had a teasing smile on their face.

"It's okay, beta. We know you are a busy doctor." Durga Prasad said on which everyone nodded.

"Hey, Sumi aunty...how are you?" Aditya smiled and came inside.

"I'm fine, Adi..." Sharmishta smiled back.

Aditya came and took everyone's blessing. Soon they talked and ate dinner.

"So, what's your decision, Adi?" Aarushi stood and went to him. Aditya who kept on typing something on his phone looked up.

"I liked her. You can fix an engagement date." Aditya said looking at Uttara intensely. And she flushed like a newly wedded bride.

"What about you, Uttara?" Swara asked immediately. Aditya looked at her desperately.

"Yes, I'm fine with this alliance." Uttara tried not to show her redden face to anyone but failed miserably in that.

-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-

"Please, Sansku...only this one..." Swara made a puppy face and asked his permission to eat more gulab jamun. Sanskar who knew about her sugar problems warned her not to eat any more gulab jamun.

"Sansku...only this..." Swara pouted her lips when Sanskar glared at her.

"Swara, Sanskar is right. You are on your 3rd trimester. So you can't eat any food in a limit." Sharmishta cautioned her.

"Swara, don't worry...after your pregnancy naa, I will treat you with a lot and lots of gulab jamun." Sujata chirped. Swara nodded her head.

"Mom, you know-, " Swara tried to get from her bed up, but felt a pain on her stomach.

"Aahhh...Sanskar..." Swara screamed Sanskar's name. Sanskar got panicked and held Swara.

"Sanskar, I think...its the time," Sharmishta said. Sujata and Annapurna looked Sanskar and shouted, "What are you starting at, Sanskar! Go and start the car." Sanskar nodded and took Swara in his arms.

He made Swara lay on the car's back. Sujata and Annapurna sat with her on the car. Sharmista, Shekhar, Ram and Durga Prasad came in another car.

Soon, they reached the hospital. According to Sharmishta's order, the hospital had already arranged the OT for Swara. She took Swara into it.

"Congratulations, it's a boy and girl." Sharamista came out of the OT and said. Everyone smiled in relief. Sanskar who got he breathe back hugged Sharmishta in happiness.

"I became a father, dad!" Sanskar screamed and hugged Sujata and Annapurna together.

"Aree...I'm your father, not Sujata or Annapurna." Ram came in front and said. Sanskar who realised his blunder in happiness made faces and hugged Ram, Shekhar and Durga Prasad.

"Everyone can see her now." Sharmishta came and declared. Sanskar rushed inside the room. He saw Swara lying on the bed near to his babies.

"Sanskar, look..." Swara said in a faded voice.

"Are you alright?" Sanskar came and asked. Swara nodded. Sanskar kissed her forehead and smiled whispering a thank you.

"She is looking like you, Sanskar," Swara said faintly.

"And he is looking like his mother." Sanskar smiled and said.

"Have you decided any names of them, Sanskar?" Shekhar came inside the room along with others.

"You will know it on the naming ceremony only," Sanskar replied.

"But, Ramji...when will we keep the naming ceremony? It's Uttara's wedding after 3 weeks. So, I think, we can keep it after a week." Sujata suggested. Everyone else nodded.

Uttara marriage was fixed with Aditya after 3 weeks. Even though Swara was pregnant, they hadn't had a choice as there wasn't any auspicious date after 3 weeks in 2020. So, everyone fixed the wedding without thinking of a moment.

-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-

"Aww...my angel is looking so beautiful." Sanskar took the baby and said.

"Naaah, my prince is looking more handsome." Swara made the baby sit on the cradle.

"Swara, Sanskar...guests are here. Come fast." Aryan came and said. They nodded and decsnsded the stairs.

"He is Saadvik Sanskar Maheshwari. And she is Sakshi Sanskar Maheshwari." Swara and Sanskar pointed towards the baby and said smiling. Everyone became delightful. Panditjii called the name inside their ears. 

"Awww...its so cute." Uttara came and chirped. Sanskar winked at Swara.

"I love you, Swara. Thankyou for everything. Thankyou for giving me every happiness." Sanskar whispered into Swara's ears huskily.

"I love you too, Sanskar. Let's share our love with our babies too." Swara smiled and said.

|•|

Thankyou so much for your love. I'm so grateful to everyone who supported me in this journey. Seriously speaking I'm gonna miss writing this story.

So, the parenthood of Swara and Sanskar begins here. I tried my best to make it beautiful. But don't know how it came out. Please, pen down about your journey with me.
