I ran upstairs to get my laptop from my room. I was about to enter in the room but stopped outside seeing my wife admiring herself in the mirror.

I smiled and waited outside. It's rare sight to see her admiring herself in this state.

She caressed her four month's baby bump. And oh... I can't even explain the feeling whenever I caress her baby bump.

It's been four months since we are pregnant. After that big fiasco happened one months back. She made sure that she rests and listen to me. And I made sure that I spend my maximum time with her and our baby. We talk, we play, we romance, we fight even and sometimes we just sit doing nothing, holding hands. And I think in this phase a woman needs her man near her to see her changing, to see the baby blooming.

"Do you even realise how happy I am because of you?" Suddenly I heard her voice. She was talking to our baby. She was still caressing her belly.

I smiled and wrapped my arms near my chest leaning to the door frame.

"You know you bring happiness to me and to your daddy dearest." She said and smiled looking at herself in the mirror.

"He loves you the most baby..." she whispered and caressed her bump looking down.

I sighed and walked towards her. Standing just behind her I wrapped my hands around her tummy and leaned to her shoulder.

"And daddy loves mamma also..." I said and kissed her neck. I could feel her smiling and she turned around.

"Manik..." she said and caressed the button of my shirt. She was looking down, so I chinned her face up.

"Kya hua?" I asked.

"I am... I am just so happy Manik. Like every time I feel I cannot get happier than this and then something more good happens and makes me happy even more." She said looking up directly into my eyes.

I smiled and caressed her cheek "Nandini... I promised to give you all the happiness in this whole world but I think it's you who makes me happier. Pehle tumhara meri life main aana, phir humari shaadi aur ab ye... I don't know aage kya hoga... but jo bhi hoga... sab achha hoga..." I said and kissed her forehead.

She smiled and said "I love you..."

I smiled and said "I love you too"

She was smiling and suddenly she looked at me "tum to office gaye the na? You back?" She asked happily. I suddenly felt bad. This happens to me almost every morning. She hopes that I will not go to office but, I do try to come to her by afternoon every day.

"Nandini you know na... Office jana bhi to zaroori hai. I'll come back by 1 or 2." I said.

And suddenly I remembered I had a meeting with co-producers of the next album. I had come to take laptop.

I left her and took out my laptop from the drawer.

"This... I forgot this..." I said showing laptop. She smiled and shook her head.

"And also this..." I said and kissed her on her lips passionately. Then I bent down and kissed her belly.

"I'll be back soon baby... till then don't trouble mamma... okay?" I said and kissed it once again, while I felt Nandini's hands into my hairs.

I stood up and kissing her forehead for the last time I started walking out.

"Aur ha... if you remember, we have to meet the doctor today for the check-up..." I remembered.

Last when we went, she tried to make us hear the heartbeat, but it was not really audible. We both were sad, but she said come after 3 weeks and you will be able to hear.

"Ohh yes... I'll be ready." She said and walked with me till downstairs.

"We'll have lunch together and then we'll go hmm...?" I again said and she nodded.

We reached down and saw Aarush was all ready to go to school. Bhabhi was combing his hairs.

"Chachu..." he shouted and came running to me.

I took him in my arms and wished him good morning.

"Nandini... come beta... time to eat fruits." I heard Mom. She nodded and walked past me.

"Chachu... dropping me to school?" Aarush asked.

"Uhmmm... Chachu has some work. Tomorrow? Promise?" I said while he whined.

"I'll drop you bacha..." I heard Bhaiya and he instantly went to his arms from mine. I shook my head. Kids...

"Okay people... time to go... bye... I'll be back soon..." I said and walked out of the house.

Nandini's POV

Manik and I were on our way towards the hospital. He was driving while I was just looking at him. Why? No... not because he was looking freaking hot. Like, He looks hot every time but... Okay... Shh.... The reason I was looking at him because he was so so so worried.

"Nandini what do you think? Will be able to hear the heartbeat today?" This is the only question he kept asking some or the other way since when we left house for hospital.

I rolled my eyes and shook my head. Am I pregnant or he?

"Manik why are you so worried? It's inside me, I can feel it So don't worry." I consoled.

"Are that I know. Problem is why so late? Do you know I researched on Google, we should have been able to hear it before three weeks? Can you imagine? Hume last time hi sunai dena chahiye tha. I am so worried. Oh My God... Baby listen to Daddy no... When will you make your daddy feel you Huh?" He let it all out.

I kept my hand on his hand which was on the gear and he looked at me for a second and then concentrated on the road. Obviously he'll never focus on anything else when he is driving me to somewhere.

"Manik Don't worry. Doctor ne kaha tha na, this changes from woman to woman so chill." I consoled him again.

He gave me a look and then kept driving until we reached the hospital. He took my hand in his and walked me inside the hospital. Although I could easily walk and travel, still my dearest husband never left a chance to take care of me.

We went in to the lift and he pressed the floor button while I kept smiling looking at him.

He turned his face towards me and raised his brow "What? Why are you smiling?"

I put my both hands on his cheeks and pinched them lightly "Because you are so cute soon to be daddy... you take such good care of soon to be mommy. Baby is saying I love you to you... Muwahhh..." Hayee... Mujhe na Manik pe kabhi kabhi bada pyaar aata hai. Man karta hai ki khaa jau... Aggrrr...

"Ahh... Nandini... My cheeks are not as chubby as yours. Stop pulling them." He complained.

I twisted my lips and still leaning the wall kept adoring my child's father.

"Don't look at me like that Nandu..." He spoke and didn't even look at me.

"Kiss me no..." I nagged while he looked at me.

"Nandini... we are at the hospital to listen to our baby's heartbeat and you want to kiss here?" He asked almost with wide eyes. I mean what is so wrong if I want to be kissed in a hospital?

"So? My baby won't mind if you kiss me. Haina baby?" I asked lovingly caressing my baby.

He put his hands on his waist and shook his head "Mommy and Baby both have lost it. Both have to make me restless and frustrated." He looked away.

And I was like... Haww...

I turned around and didn't look at him. I am angry and so my baby is. Huh...

The lift opened on the gynaecologist floor and I stepped out as soon as possible leaving Mr. Frustrated behind.

"Nandini... wait..." He called me while I stopped.

He came beside me and held my hand. I let him do whatever he was doing.

"You look cute when you are angry." He said from beside me and chuckled.

I gave him the fake smile and started walking.

"Achha... Okay... I get it. you are highly sexually frustrated Mrs. Malhotra." He laughed out again while I turned myself to him.

"I asked for just a kiss. A loving simple kiss and not sex in the elevator." I said clearly on his face. He looked around as people were now watching us.

"Okay... I get it. I am sorry. Once we are done from here. I'll give you what you want okay. As much as you want bas. And also your favourite Belgium chocolate ice creame too. Happy? Can you stop frowning and smile please Mommy...?" He spoke cutely while I couldn't stop smiling.

"Manik... I love you..." I spoke holding his hands.

He made an aww face and side hugged me "And I love you too... bahot sara bas... chale ab?" He asked while I nodded hurriedly.

We stopped at the nursing counter and Manik inquired about our appointment. Luckily doctor was free and took us hurriedly inside.

We settled down on the chairs before doctor.

"Good afternoon Manik and Nandini. How's health Nandini?" She asked me while checking my file.

"All good." I answered in sweet and simple words.

"hmm... diet?" She asked again.

"haan... wo proper hai..." Manik answered even before I answer.

Doctor looked up and smiled shaking her head. I glared at Manik while he gave me I-don't-care look.

"Any changed you find in body?" She asked me. I pouted and said "Yes... back ache. Like sometimes I am unable to sleep." I complained.

She chuckled "Hmm... that you have to bear. Perks of being mother you see. Yes, but I will recommend you the pain killers so that you can sleep at night. Anything else?" she asked.

"no... nothing else." I said and looked at Manik who was keenly listening to our talks.

"Okay... so... chale?" she asked.

"Doctor... is there any problem? Like I have read that normally the heartbeat should have been heard before three weeks only but we couldn't." Manik asked doctor.

"Nothing to worry Manik. That completely depend on how your child is growing inside the womb. Some takes 10 weeks and some takes 15. So don't' worry. And I am 100% sure today we will listen to it for sure." She assured.

I smiled holding his hand and she lead me towards the sonography area.

"okay... lay down please Nandini and pick up your top a bit." She instructed me while I did the same with Manik standing beside me holding my hand looking at the screen just in front of doctor.

Doctor spread some gel on my bump and started making circles with some machine on it. I could only see Manik worried face and he was trying to see something in the screen.

"Everything looks perfect as of now. I can clearly see the growth." Doctor said smilingly looking at the screen while still caressing my bump with the roller.

"Doctor... I want to hear the heartbeat. I want to be assured that she is safe." Manik held my hand tight and said.

I looked at the doctor who was smiling by the time.

A nurse came and started arranging few machines.

"How do you know that it's she?" Doctor asked just after Manik.

Manik felt embarrassed I can clearly see it on his face.

"Because I think it's gonna be my princess." He answered smilingly.

"Well... we'll see that... for now... here... you can hear it now." she spoke and we could clearly hear some faint heartbeats.

Manik looked at me and smiled. I could clearly see tears in his eyes. Even I had tears listening to my little one.

"Hi baby... Daddy here..." Manik spoke and caressed my bump.

The sudden announcement felt so much inside me and the heartbeat became more loud and fast.

"It's responding..." Doctor smiled.

Manik looked at me and wiped away my single tear.

"Okay... I'll give you both sometime. Live in this moment and then come out. I want to share a news with you two..." Doctor announced and that left Me and Manik both in a fix.

Just as we heard the baby's heartbeat I don't want any heart attack. Is there some problem?

"What doctor?" Manik asked worriedly.

"Don't worry Manik... Everything is fine... Nurse... get the reports..." She ordered and walked out with nurse.

"Nandini... did you hear it... Oh my god... I felt that she was with me..." Manik was so happy.

"I could feel it Manik. It's inside me... tum bhul jate ho baar baar..." I chuckled. Manik wiped his lone tear and smiled at me.

"I am so jealous that it's not inside me and you take all the credit." He chuckled while I giggled.

He put down my top back again and made me sit.

We both walked out of the room and entered in to the clinic.

Doctor gestured us to sit and opened the file in front of us.

"Manik and Nandini... there is something that you both need to know right now..." Doctor spoke dangerously.

I gulped "Doctor... my baby is okay naa...?" My voice chocked in the end. I was almost on the urge of crying.

"Doctor please say something don't hide anything from us... we are parents..." Manik spoke just after me holding me side ways, consoling me in between.

She sighed and looked at both of us "You both need to know that..."

"that..." I and Manik spoke almost at the same time which made us look at each other and then at doctor.

"that... you both are going to be parents of... Twins..." She spoke and I opened my mouth wide open.

"Twins?" Manik whispered beside me.

"really?" That was me who asked just after him.

Doctor smiled and nodded happily "yes... congratulation guys..."

Manik was almost grinning by the time while I was just having a small smile on my face.

I caressed my bump. There are two. Oh my god.... Aiyappa thank you so much.

"Yes... and twins Matlab zyada caring, zyada food and only healty thoughts okay Nandini? and Manik before you ask, there's no complications. Seems your babies are too comfortable inside there. See them by yourself..." Doctor showed us some random image stuck in my file.

"This two are their heads and this is their bodies... Abhi itna clear nahi dikhega but yes... they both are alright inside there. Okay?" Doctor said and assured Manik who just nodded and smiled.

We left from there after necessary talks and precautions taken from now on.

As soon as Manik started driving I couldn't stop myself from crying.

"hey... why are you crying?" He asked.

"I don't know... I am just so... so overwhelmed. Manik... twins..." I spoke in between my happy cry.

"I know... I just don't how to handle this moment. I want to jump around and announce the world that I am going to be a proud father of twins." Manik smiled and held my hand.

"And I promise Nandini... I will give them and you world's all the happiness." He looked in to my eyes and said.

"Manik... my happiness is already with me." He looked at my hand which was on my bump and also one in his hand.

He smiled and looked at me "I was right, Life is so unpredictable, it gives me so much happiness every time."

I smiled and nodded.

We reached home to see only all our family members sitting in the living room with worries.

I looked at Manik and smile who was also looking at me.

"Nandu... kya hua? Kya bola doctor ne? Did you hear the heartbeat?" Mom was the first one to ask me the question.

"Mom let her come inside. Nandu... come and sit first... I'll cut you few fruits..." Mukti Bhabhi was next. This just makes me smile even more.

"Are why are you smiling Nandu?" Bhaiya asked next while Manik spoke in between "Okay... Okay people... we need to announce something..."

"Kya?" they all spoke together.

Manik looked at me and then at them.

"We are going to proud parents of..." Manik stopped and gestured me to speak with him.

"Twins..." We both spoke at the same time and all of them had a blank face for few seconds and then they all came running to me and Manik to take us in a big hug.

"oh my god... Ek manga tha do mil gaye... Hayee..." Mom chirped in the hug.

"You make us all so happy Nandini... Thank you beta..." Dad spoke while I just hugged him.

"Achha people... From now on, more care for Nandini... Mom and Bhabhi here's her diet... make sure she eats it... and Dad I will request no office work for her, for now... if it's important then only... I can't let her take any stress." Manik suggested everyone.

"Ye bhi koi kehne ki baat hai... abse sirf aur sirf aaram Nandini..." Bhaiya spoke while I smiled and nodded.

"Let's celebrate... I'll get the sweets...." Mom said.

"mom... My Belgium Chocolate Ice cream please...." I spoke sheepishly while all of them laughed out loud.

******

I kept the book beside on the table when I saw Manik slipping inside the duvet and half laid on my stomach hugging it, laying his face in my lap.

I caressed his hairs while he kept planting few kissed every now and then on my bump.

"Kya soch rahe ho?" I asked as I felt him not speaking.

He looked up at me still hugging my bump "Kuch nahi... bas yuhi..."

He hugged the bump more and planted a soft kiss on it. I smiled and kept caressing his hairs.

"Babies... are you listening to me? Come out soon no... I am waiting..." He whispered. He looked tired and fatigued. I could feel it.

There was so much going on in his life.

Back to back hit music albums made him busy professionally, me being pregnant kept him always on his toes at home.

I feel so sad for him sometimes.

"Tired?" I asked.

He shook his head "No... I am content..."

I smiled and leaned to kiss his hairs.

"Manik I know... this phase is so overwhelming for us. We were preparing for one kid and suddenly this news... I mean I feel so much inside me." I told him what was inside me encouraging him to talk to me.

"You know what I feel?" He raised himself a bit and looked at me.

I asked "What?"

"responsible..." He spoke.

"Nandini... first we were having just one kid... and now two... We have to share so many things now. Maybe our private time also... I know it's not going to be easy giving two kids birth... jaise taise wo to ho jayega but then when it will come to raising them with good morals and ethics... I am afraid that will I be able to be a good father? Will I be able to give both of them equal love and attention?" he asked in such a low voice almost chocking.

I smiled and kept his hand on my bump.

"Manik... main hu na... we are going to be parents Manik... I will do everything to teach them the right things. Aur jab main thak jaau to tum dhyaan de dena... haina? Aur waise bhi we have such a good family... humare bachhe kam bade ho jayenge pata bhi nahi chalega." I said smilingly.

He looked down and kissed my bump "I love you babies..."

"And Mr. Manik Malhotra... my husband is going to be the best father to his kids okay?" I said flaunting my husband.

He smiled and looked at me "And you are going to be the bestest mother in this whole world to my kids. I love you so much..." He spoke and kept his head again on my bump.

Suddenly my bump has become his favourite pillow.

I remember the entire night he kept talking to the kids while I was sleeping. But I could feel him talking even if I was so tired I couldn't ignore my kid's father's desperation for them.
