Anika was not even this much nervous when she went to gynecologist previous morning. Last day when the doctor checked her, she didn't say anything and prescribed an ultrasound test before confirming but there was that sudden glow over the face of the doctor. But still thinking not much except irregularities in her dates she went for the test. Sipping down a bottle of water didn't help, so another bottle soon opened.

"Anika Mukherjee" after few more minutes she heard her name over the speaker.

Her gaze turned to Ishana who sat there calming her. After giving a quick hug and mentally preparing herself Anika went inside the cabin. She could smell the gel doctor was using for conducting the test and passed a quick smile to the doctor. Listening to the advise of the doctor, Anika laid down looking up, not wanting to look into the screen.

Ishana waited, twenty minutes have passed since Anika went in. Her fingers were crossed and she chanted prayers in her head. Everything seemed so correct and positive and as her eyes opened she saw Anika. Anika was numb, shock was written over Anika's face but before that Ishana noticed the glow. Is everything alright? Ishana stepped closer, her fingers were still crossed. Anika stood numb not wanting to move, or say not getting to move. Something has glued her to the spot and Ishana hoped that that something isn't negative.

"What di" Ishu couldn't form more words.

"I want to speak to Shivay" increasing the curiosity inside her sister, Anika's pupil dilated.

"It is midnight over the-"

"I want to speak to Shivay" Anika repeated the same sentence not letting Ishana complete.

This time it sounded more adamant. Ishana soon took out her phone and dialled Shivay's number praying he picks up. In between she kept eying Anika who was in turn eying her back, very eagerly.

One ring...

Two ring...

Third ring...

Fourth ring...

"Hello Ishu, everything is alright correct?" Shivay sounded sleepy.

Ishana felt bad but at this moment her di mattered more.

"Speak to di" listening these three words, Shivay's sleep vanished in thin air.

He became eager and sat straight. He wondered the reason of this sudden call even after knowing that he had a hectic day. Moreover, he knew that Anika won't call him just like that. Or it was a prank?

He heard Anika breathe up and down. After that he heard Ishana's protest of making them curious and scared after the ultrasound.

"Ultrasound? What is the matter, speak up" he was feeling more scared now.

Yes, he knows Anika. She won't play such a prank but if it was then she will have to pay for it.

"I am pregnant" came Anika's reply.

Ishana who was watching Anika, met her eyes with Anika's. She could see the happiness and sadness both in Anika's eyes. Shivay this side became numb. He had no idea to expect this all of a sudden. Anika's face flashed in front of him. Composing himself, he restarted the conversation.

"I am going to be a father" a ripple of calmness spread through him.

"I am going to be a father" excitement rose more as compared to the last time.

Third time he repeated the sentence and water moistened the edge of his eyes. He held the phone tightly and gulped down the lump. It felt different, it felt magical. He could still hear Anika's breathing sound.

"Congratulations di" came Ishana's excited reply the very next moment, Shivay was sure that Ishana has hugged Anika ever so tight.

But still Anika's face had no emotion. An unknown worry was blocking the way to her happiness and that was felt by both Shivay and Ishana. Leaving Anika, Ishana made her sit and pressed her hand.

"What is the matter D?" Shivay asked.

The calmness in his voice soothed the volcano erupting inside her. The breeze of his trust made her feel good. She knew she could forever rely upon this man, but still she was scared.

"We have never discussed about this Shivay" she paused "I and you still needs to know each other even better before taking up this responsibility" her voice shook "this responsibility means- it means less time for us and our career- your career- what if we fall apart? What if we fail to- fail to become good parents- what if-"

"Never think that ever D, our baby is the result of our love. When we know what place we have for each other in our heart, then ofcourse our baby would hold more than that. She or he would always be our first priority. And about knowing each other- D I know you more than I can ever explain and that is applied for you also. You are my world, everything related to you is my priority and we will raise this baby together. None of us would sacrifice anything, but we will learn- we will learn how to become the best parents for our baby and you will see, one day our baby would be proud of us" he was dreaming, dream of raising his baby with utmost love and true vision.

She heard him, he was calm but his dreams are volcano. She knew they would be the best but when he said it, she felt it already happening. Slowly staring her belly and placing a firm hand over it, she smiled. The feeling of creating a little human inside her made Anika happy, her smile widened to reach her ear.

"Shivay I-" she stopped, something held her tongue "I can't wait to be a mother"

A sudden shock of happiness spread through him expecting that she is going to confess those three magical words, but she took it back. They knew the other's love, they even knew that confessing those three words aren't important but he needed to hear those, atleast at that point of moment. He loved her damn.

"Listen I am pre-poning my arrival date, and you need not come to airport to pick me up. I just can't wait to be there" excitement and happiness was dripping through his words.

Undoubtedly if he was in front of her, then she would have got thousand kisses by the time and definitely her feet would have swayed in air. He was just missing the warm feeling of her in his arms but promising to land soon he hung the call. He spent the next few hours of the night by dreaming about their baby. He felt as the most happiest and counted days to see the face of his little one.

Anika went back and decided to reveal this great news only when Shivay returns, thus she asked Ishana too to keep it a secret. This feeling was so special. Both the sister discussed about the baby. Ishana made plans to spoil the upcoming bundle of happiness while Anika rolled her eyes reminding Ishana that she isn't allowed to teach any mischiefs to the little one. But Ishana is Ishana, and none can stop her, atleast Ishana's wink made it clear.

Shivay couldn't keep calm and called Anika every thirty minutes the following day. Anika felt special but irritated too as he asked many stupid question, among them one was epic.

"Is she kicking?" Anika's eyes widened and she wished to punch brain inside Shivay, but they were in a call.

"It has been two weeks only Shivay, how can she or he kick without legs" he face palmed himself realising that how much stupidly excited he is becoming.

"Ohh yes, we need to wait. Take care Anika" and the call ended even before Anika approved the bye.

Again another call came in the next thirty minutes. This time he asked if she is feeling any pain, listening to her discarding his concern he again hung the call without informing. The same thing got followed after another thirty minutes, this time Shivay had a diet chart ready which he messaged Anika as well instantly while explaining.

"Will you please stop calling and irritating me?" after controlling herself for long time, she atlast shouted.

"This is not good, I know you will love the baby more but at least now show some for me" his tone dropped.

"Shivay go and do your work, and let me sleep" this reminded him that it has been night at Anika's place.

"Bye baby" suger coating the words he lastly let go of calling.

But as Anika spent time in her sleep, Shivay grew anxious. He so wanted to call but it is night, he kept reminding himself.

Next day along with her work, Shivay happily kept her irritated. She loved this extra attention and wanted him near to pull his cheeks and kiss him madly. How much sweet aka cute can her husband be. And yeah not to forget her sister Ishana.

"Shivay and Ishu, I am taking my care. Will you both let me work peacefully now?" she howled over the conference call.

"Okay you go, me and Jiju will plan something interesting about the baby"

"Yes" it was Shivay's reply

Definitely they will plan crazy, and Anika had no interest to take part so she happily cut the call and concentrated back on her work, well she tried to concentrate. But her mind lingered over what discussion must her husband and sister might be having.

"Concentrate Anika" she reminded herself and glued her eyes over the official paper.

After her work time ended, she went down to reach her car. Ishana was standing by the car with a smile glowing over her face. Ishana and Shivay must have decided this pick up and drop work for Ishana everyday until Shivay comes. On asking, Ishana confirmed the same.

"Don't you have your own office?" Anika's brows furrowed.

"I do, and I get my release before you so I have no problem picking you up and dropping you everyday" for sure Ishana has never smiled so constantly ever before.

"I am pregnant my darling, not sick" Anika said softly, her face revealed that she might cry looking at this extra care.

"Lets go" without bothering to answer, Ishana happily sat over driver's seat and forced Anika over the back seat.

The ride back to home was fun, the sisters reminisced their childhood days and became happy thinking that they are going to be mother and maasi respectively. In between Shivay called again, he felt good listening to sisters' banters and missed his own brothers more. Just after they hung the call, Shivay called his brothers and had fun speaking to them. Hiding this great news seemed difficult but this time he is adamant to keep Anika's word.

Mother Mukherjee served dinner, Ishana was happily teasing Anika asking about Shivay's stamina and if Anika is happy at night. Although secretly. After managing to stop Ishana from her further teasing Anika looked at her belly and placed a firm hand over it.

"Beta, why are you looking at your stomach?" mother Mukherjee asked placing hand over Anika's shoulder.

Anika, who was lost in her own world felt the shock and looked at her mother and then passed an awkward smile after few moments.

"Just- just checking if I am getting fat" another awkward smile followed.

"You will soon" Ishana soon took the throne and intervened.

"What?" mother Mukherjee asked, she felt something fishy between her both daughters.

"No, look how much she is eating. So it is evident that she will soon get fat" Ishana covered up smiling, mischievously.

Anika rolled her eyes but that resulted into Ishana's high pitched laughter leaving mother and father Mukherjee totally astonished.

The following night, both the sister discussed so much, this time along with Shivay, Omkara, Rudra and Prinku too joined. The major topic of discussion became Rudra and Soumya's marriage. Poor Rudra failed to keep himself away from the teasing, but secretly he enjoyed too. Rudra informed that Sahana's birthday is arriving and he is planning a party, to which Anika became most excited and supported her dear brother in law without even asking. Shivay complained that it is not fair of everyone to celebrate without him. But this became another joking topic and the youngsters had more fun.
