Laksh and Ragini gets out of Laksh's cabin and starts walking out of the company building. He makes her sit on the passenger seat of the car while he himself sits on the driving side.

Laksh: everyone's going to get crazy after knowing the news.

He says as he starts the car. Ragini smiles looking at his excited self.

Ragini: more than you?

Laksh: less than me, obviously.

Ragini chuckles as she looks at the front. She frowns and then looks back at Laksh.

Ragini: Laksh, what are you doing?

Laksh: what?

Ragini: why are you driving so slow? Seriously? You're driving at twenty! The hell?

Laksh: yeah!

Ragini: what yeah? Drive faster.

Laksh: no! I'll not drive faster than this.

Ragini: why? Let me drive then.

Laksh: no! I'll drive and I'll not drive with more speed than this.

Ragini: but why?

Laksh: because you're pregnant.

Ragini: so?

Laksh: so we shouldn't take any kind of risk by driving at higher speed than this.

Ragini: I can't believe it. There's no risk in driving at normal speed Laksh.

Laksh: no!

Ragini: great, even the cyclists are overtaking us.

She says looking outside the window.

Laksh: who cares?

Ragini hits her palm on her head as she crosses her arms at her front. Looking boringly at each and everything which was passing their car. She sighs as she takes her phone and messages everyone to reach home as they got some news to share.

Ragini: Laksh...

Laksh: no more talking while driving. I don't want to loose focus.

Ragini grits her teeth and starts playing games on her phone. They reaches home after what feels like ages to Ragini. Both of them comes out of the car and goes inside. They finds other six already present in the hall.

Sanskar: here they are!

Everyone looks at them and starts asking questions about what news they wanted to share.

Laksh makes Ragini sit on the sofa and he himself leans to the arm of the sofa.

Laksh: it's more like a good news!

Swara: really! What's the good news? I can't wait anymore.

Misha: did Ryan fail the final semester?

Everyone looks at her weirdly while Ryan was glaring at her.

Misha: I mean, it'll not be less than any good news.

Sanskar: really Misha?

Misha: hehe... I was just kidding. Please continue.

She says looking at Raglak.

Ragini: don't loose your minds after we tell you, ok.

Naina: di Jiju... You're making us anxious. Please tell us the news.

Laksh: why are you so silent?

He asks to Arjun who was standing silently. He didn't say anything from the time they have come home. Everyone looks at him and starts wondering the same.

Arjun: uhm... I... I was just thinking if the good news is that you don't want to take me to the company anymore?

He asks scratching the back of his head while everyone stares at him silently.

Arjun: hihi...

Laksh: what else can be expected from you?

He asks shaking his head in disbelief.

Ragini: sadly, that's not the good news. It's not your day my dear brother in law.

Arjun pouts as everyone bursts into laughter.

Swara: no one will speak anything now. Let di and jiju tell us.

Everyone nods agreeing.

Laksh: so, the thing is that...

Raglak: we're going to be parents soon.

They says with huge smiles on their faces and waits for everyone's reaction but no one says anything. The other six gets frozen in their places. Raglak looks at each other and them back at their family members.

Ragini: no reaction. Are you guys not happy?

Naina: I'm sorry di jiju if I heard it wrong but did you just say that you're going to become parents?

The other five looks at her and then at Raglak, expecting the answer to the question she asked.

Ragini: yes! That's what we said.

Sanskar: means, you're pregnant bhabhi?

Ragini nods.

Misha/Naina/Swara: we're going to become maasis?

Raglak nods.

Ryan: I'll not be the youngest member of the Maheshwari family anymore?

Raglak nods again.

"Oh my God!" all six of them shouts at the same time.

"Congratulations bhai/bhabhi/di/jiju." they says as they hugs Ragini and Laksh.

They were smiling like idiots and they were happy beyond words. They starts asking questions after questions to the couple.

Sanskar: but, didn't the doctor say...

Ragini understands what he wanted to say and tells them what she told Laksh in the office.

Naina: thank you so much God. We're so happy.

She says excitedly.

Misha: I'm still unable to believe it.

Ryan: right. Evern I'm unable to process it.

Laksh: what a miracle! For the first time in the history they both have agreed about same thing.

Everyone laughs at that while Ryan and Misha rolls their eyes at each other.

Swara: di, now you have to take proper care of yourself.

Sanskar: ya, Swara is saying right bhabhi. No more work.

Ragini: no, I can't stop working. I'll get bored if I stopped working.

Naina: Sanskar jiju is right di. You shouldn't do any kind of work till the delivery. It may give you physical or mental stress and we don't want that. We'll take care of everything. You don't worry.

Ragini looks at Laksh who was standing with crossed arms.

Ragini: why are you not saying anything?

Laksh: hmm... I agree with them.

He says casually while Ragini glares at him.

Misha: see, jiju also agreed. Now, you'll just eat and rest, nothing else.

Ragini pouts looking away. Laksh smiles at her cuteness as he makes her face everyone again.

Arjun: everything aside, what are we going to name the baby?

Naina: Arjun, we don't even know if it's going to be a boy or a girl. How can you ask this question?

Arjun: I think it'll be a girl.

Ragini: I don't think so. It'll be a boy.

Arjun: but bhabhi...

Laksh: another miracle of the day, these two disagreed about something for the first time in the history.

He says as he takes a seat beside Ragini and starts scrolling through his phone but he was listening to everyone.

Misha: whether it'll be a boy or a girl, I am sure they'll be cute like me, thier maasi.

Ryan: tch tch... Has almost become a graduate but still living in the misunderstanding that she's cute.

Misha glares him while others laughs at his statement, including Ryan himself.

Everyone starts arguing about what the gender of the baby will be or what the baby will look like or what letter will be the first letter of baby's name and more while Ragini and Laksh keeps sitting there, unbothered.

Arjun: guys!!! I just realised something.

He shouts making everyone stop speaking and look at him eagerly.

Arjun: I'm going to be a chachu!!!

He screams in excitement filled voice as he starts jumping.

The other seven looks at him like 'nothing can be done of this creature' for his slow brain.

Raglak were sitting on their bed. Ragini's head was placed on Laksh's shoulder as he was patting her head.

Laksh: I'm thinking of shifting our room downstairs till the delivery.

Ragini: why?

Laksh: moving upstairs and downstairs many times during the day can exhaust you physically and it's risky as well.

Ragini: there's nothing like that Laksh. Infact, I've heard that walking the stairs helps during delivery.

Laksh: still! Let's not talk about it anymore. I've already taken the decision.

Ragini looks at him.

Ragini: if you had already taken the decision then why were you even asking me?

Laksh: just like that.

Ragini rolls her eyes as she hugs him through his waist.

Laksh: did you fix the appointment with the doctor for tomorrow?

He asks as he kisses her forehead lovingly.

Ragini: yeah, we need to reach there at ten in the morning.

Laksh nods as he makes her lie down on the bed. He gets up and locks the door before joining her on the bed and covering them both with the comforter.

Ragini: it was a nice day.

Laksh: it was the best. Thank you again Ragini. You're a blessing in my life.

Ragini: ditto Mr Maheshwari. I was thinking, have you contacted Aryan? Haven't heard from him in the past months.

Laksh: yeah. He's out of the city because of work and also, dude is getting married soon.

Ragini: that's really great to hear. Who's the lucky girl?

Laksh: Shanaya is the name of the girl. Both met in some family function and are dating from half year.

Ragini: great, Aryan will also get settled.

Laksh: right! Ragini, did Arjun tell you something about the girl?

Ragini: no, not yet.

Laksh: I just want to make sure that he isn't doing anything wrong. I hope the girl he like is nice.

Ragini: she have to be. Don't worry love. He has become responsible.

Laksh: when did this happen? I was not informed.

Ragini chuckles hitting him playfully on his arm. Laksh smiles holding her close to his heart.

Laksh: I love you.

Ragini: I love you too my love.

***

Next day Ragini and Laksh reaches the hospital. They goes to the receptionist.

Laksh: we had an appointment with Dr Das.

Receptionist: patient's name please.

Laksh: Ragini Maheshwari.

Receptionist: yeah, Dr Das is in her cabin. You can meet her there.

Laksh thanks her as the couple starts walking towards the doctor's cabin. He knocks on the door and both of them enters inside.

Doctor: good morning Mr and Mrs Maheshwari. Please take seats.

She says smiling warmly at the couple as they sits opposite to the doctor.

Laksh: Dr, you must already be knowing why we're here.

Doctor: I know Mr Maheshwari. And I can also understand what you must be thinking after knowing about your wife's pregnancy. It's normal to react this way.

Laksh: I just want to make sure that there's no risk for Ragini because of the pregnancy. I mean she'll be alright during and after the pregnancy? I mean you only said that...

Doctor: yes, Mr Maheshwari. I remember what I said that time. But now I'm saying, there's nothing to worry about. There are not any kind of serious complications. Her uterus has become healthy and strong over the time, naturally. And it's definitely a good thing.

Laksh: oh...

Doctor: you just need to take good care of your wife. Just make sure she takes proper rest, stays happy and eat healthy. I suggest you and your family to give her more attention and care than anyone giving to a normal pregnant woman. There's no problem at the present but we can't forget the history. And prevention is always better than cure.

Laksh: yeah, you're right. I'll take care of everything. Thank you so much doctor.

He says as smiling widely as he gets up with Ragini.

Doctor: Mr Maheshwari, you can get the prescription from my assistant outside and can get the medicines from the hospital's medicine store.

Laksh nods as he looks at Ragini.

Laksh: you wait here. I'll be just back.

Ragini nods and Laksh leaves the cabin. She then looks at the doctor who was already looking at her.

Doctor: Ragini, what are you making me do! This is so wrong.

Ragini: I'm sorry and thank you.

Doctor: Ragini, this was the first and last time that I've lied. Hereafter, if Laksh ever asked me about the complications then I'm going to tell him the truth.

Ragini: I understand.

Ragini (in mind): I'll make sure that he never ask you again.

Doctor: why are you even doing this?

Ragini: I just want to.

She says with glassy eyes.

"Let's go Ragini." says Laksh as he enters the cabin with medicines.

Ragini blinks the tears away as she turns to look at him.

Ragini: thank yo so much doctor.

Doctor: your welcome.

She says sighing as Raglak leaves her cabin.
