Part 4 (b)

After the dinner which was warm and filled with laughter Arnav khushi retired to their room. Arnav was changing in the Bathroom while khushi was standing at the poolside door looking at the stars. The door opened and Arnav came inside the room and looked for her to be found her looking up in the sky. He came beside her but she kept her gaze fixed up on the stars.

''Khushi'' Arnav called her and she turned around to face him and his breath hitched to be found her cheeks drenching in tears.

''Khushi..what happened..please tell me'' Arnav grabbed her shoulders and asked her furiously ''Did I do something wrong''.. Khushi couldn't control her emotion and bursted out in tears. She fell into his arms and gripped his shirt tightly.

''Khushi'' Arnav whispered.

''I don't know why I am even crying''. She said contolling herself to crying more. Arnav was confused but before he can asked her she confessed her emotions ''I just want to thank you that you arranged the nursery for our little one but don't know why I am crying''. Arnav understood and pulled her away and saw her mixture of moods on her face and smiled and pulled her more close.

''But I do. These are pregnancy hormones. I have read on the internet''. He said with a small but a proud smile.

Shock was understatement. Her eyes Started tearing up again. khushi was just wanted to pull him, kiss him, at the very right moment but stopped herself from doing so and turned around, wiping her alone tear she composed herself. She didn't let this moment waste by crying and swinged around back to him.

''Khushi??? What's wrong??'' He quickly moved closer to her and studied her.

''Nothing just that..it was quite shocking that you studied all these''.. khushi said smiling through her tears.

He cupped her face and kissed her forhead, her eyes, her cute little nose, and then finally her lips. Khushi shuddered and whimpers of need moaned out from her lips. Their kiss was sensual and slow.

Arnav pulled away and cupped her head and whispered on her lips ''khushi I did this for you and our baby. I know I am not good at speaking but trust me I am doing my best to understand all this and I promise I will be more responsible from now on''.

Khushi stared at him fascinated by his words and love for her. She traced his brows and opened her mouth to speak but before she could say a word she quickly covered her mouth and rushed inside the bathroom. Arnav followed behind her to be found her throwing up in the sink. He quickly smoothed her hairs away and bunched them around her neck while she was throwing continuously and rested his hand on her back to soothe her. She washed her mouth while he grabbed a towel and drenched in water for her to wipe mouth.''khushi you okay?.. Should I call the doctor? You feeling any pain?'' Arnav asked concernedly caressing her cheeks.

''I m alright Arnav its just sickness or I guess the baby didn't like the dinner'' khushi said and giggled. Arnav smiled and walked her back to the room. He helped her lay down on the bed.

''Khushi rest now I am going down to bring something for you to eat''. Arnav said and walked.

''Arnav'' khushi stopped him. ''Can you bring something khatta also please?'' She asked With a puppy face and batted her lashes toward him. Arnav smirked at her & her cuteness and went downstairs. When he came with a plate of parathas,carrying a bowl having two piece of prickles in it he saw her sleeping peacefully. He moved toward her and looked at her cute face and lips which were slightly open.Puting the plate at the side table he sat beside her watching her closely and studied her every feature.

He traced her cheeks with his knuckles and kissed her lips slowly. Arnav shook his head slowly...''All out of comebacks...'' he sighed..''I am going to enjoy keeping you pregnant...your chattering, your crazy plans which is full of mischeivious..'' He layed beside her holding her one hand and put his other hand on her belly and slept in a deep and peaceful slumber.

Several weeks were passed like this Arnav was always beside her and didn't let her feel alone and took care of her very lovingly. Arnav was moving to their bedroom thinking how these past days was filled with full of happiness and which fascinated him most was the progress of baby growing inside her belly.

She becomes more beautiful with growing belly with their love inside her. He was smiling and didn't noticed the faint khushi laying on the bed. He strolled toward her, moving her hair away from her face he shaked her

''khushi wake up'' he whispered but khushi didn't moved a bit. He froze and His breathing stopped..''Khushi??''

''Khushi!? Wake up'' He checked her pulse and let out a breath of relief to feel a strong beat...
''Khushi...Khushi wake up...'' fear and panic saturated him... he immediately called the doctor.

The doctor was checking khushi and arnav was pacing continuously outside the room. Anjali came and stopped him ''chotey relax doctor is checking on her don't worry so much''. Arnav tried to speak but doctor came and called him inside. He quickly followed the doctor inside the room.

Khushi was laying peacefully on the bed while he was just numb seeing her like this. His eyes filled with tears. The doctor spoke ''Mr. Raizada, calm down please.She fainted but she is perfectly fine, and so is the little one.here, come...i will show you..''
Arnav walked over and the doctor handed him a machine that looked like a small phone or speaker...''Here, take this end and hold it to her lower abdomen...''
The doctor guided Arnav's hand, almost instantly, a static sound was heard, along with a loud thudding...
Arnav was struck silent...he stared in awe..."Is...Is that...Is that my...''...

''That would be your baby's heartbeat...'' the doctor said smiling...
Arnav smiled and looked at Khushi's sleeping face...''Is...Is Khushi okay? tell me..''

''She's fine...Like I said, she fainted..she may have just stood up too quickly...''
Arnav nodded and thanked the doctor for coming so soon. Arnav quickly grabbed a pillow and laid it under her swollen stomach, as his hands gently pressed her lower back to soothe her. Anjali and payal came and told him that they arranged some food for her.

Almost 2 hours later, Khushi came slowly awake from the sleep .He watched her husband who was watching her deeply. She moved and arnav helped her to be comfortably sit on the bed.

''Arnav'' khushi mumbled

''Khushi you fainted? How?'' Arnav was trying to control his temper.

She sighed an controlled his tears who was ready to fell down. He quickly moved close to her and hugged her ''khushi its alright, everything is fine wifey''. He soothed her rubbed her back.

Khushi!?''..''I m soo sorry'' she spoke between her sobs. He cupped her face and made her look up.

''Yeah he made be hold a machine and guided to your stomach''. His warm palm smoothed across her back. She chocked and hugged him tight.

Caressing her hair, he tried to think of what to say.Sitting beside her, he felt a jab in his side...

His baby was kicking... shockingly, he moved his hand to hold the lower swell of her belly...

Again, tiny, yet quite strong kicks bounced against his palm...Keeping his voice quiet..''Woah...khushi did...did you feel that''
A bigger, harder kick hit his hand and he heard Khushi inhale sharply...
His eyes immediately looked up to her... Her face broked into a broad smile..Sliding down the bed, he lay next to her stomach...''she is kicking''...

A furious khushi looked at him ''how could u say that its going to be SHE. It can be HE''. She lovingly whispered. He smiled and spoke ''I dnt know its she or whether is he but I will love the baby always''. Moving close to her, he laced his arms around her, one under her neck, the other holding her stomach...''I love you''.

Days later, Khushi was in her almost 9 months. The whole family suggested arnav that they should moved down as it will be more careful for her and the baby. Arnav agreed as it's the question about her health and arnav didn't want any harm to both of them. He shifted with khushi downstairs and anjali payal always beside her to looked after her as arnav sometimes went office for important meetings bcoz of constantly persistence of khushi. He came shantivanafter the meeting and quickly moved inside the room as he was so desperate to just get one glimpse of her and her belly where the little baby was. He saw her sitting on the bed with most furious expression.She sensed him and looked at the door where her handsome husband was standing.

''Hi'' arnav said whilemoving toward her.

Arnav'smouth fell open in O shape as he was looking at her in astonishment. He held back his laughter... ''I can't do that right now.'' His strong hands wrapped around her, dragging her into his lap"into his embrace.
She pressed her face into his shoulder, refusing to meet his gaze. His hands gently moved over her swollen, tight, pregnant belly...Her breath caught as her belly tightened again, only this time, it was slightly painful...
''Oh!'' Arnav pinned his gaze to her, worry creasing his brow.
''What's wrong?'' A sudden gush of wetness surged between her legs.
Followed by yet another spasm low in her belly.
''Oh God...'' her moans became louder... She was in labor. ''Arnavji, I think my water just broke.'' She tried to keep the anxiety out of her voice but knew she failed miserably.

''And it...it hurts...''Arnav realised her water broke and he immediately carried her down yelling "Diii !!!! Aakhash!!!"

She stiffened in his arms again and moaned softly as another small contraction struck.

At the sound of his voice everyone came out and looked at the scene before them .Everyone began speaking at once Arnav just took Khushi out to his car and made her sit at the back side. He looked at Khushi and squeezed her hand. ''Don't worry, khushi. I m here. I'll take care of you." He held Khushi close the whole journey holding her in his arms.While Akhash drove as fast he could, NK who sat in the passenger seat made a call to Khushi's Doctor alerting her of the situation and to keep things ready.

She panted, and squeezed his hand...''Ohhh...that one hurt...Arnavji...that hurt...''
Her panicked eyes struck him...''We're going now...Don't worry''. They reached hospital withing 10 mins. Khushi held Arnav's hands tightly refusing to leave it.Her eyes reflected pain and she was completely scared.

Sweat ran down her forehead and she squeezed her eyes shut over the salty burn. When they pulled into the emergency entrance, Khushi whimpered.
Heedless of blocking the drive, Arnav whipped open his door and scooped her into his arms.

She buried her face in his neck and exhaled in short, sharp, agonizing pants. Doctor checked Khushi and she finally decided that the time come has come for her to push.

Pressing up on her elbows with Arnav's arm to support her, pain knifed through Khushi's body as she pushed...And pushed. "We'll have a beautiful baby! A little Girl..."
"BOY!"
Arnav laughed as her nails dug into his arm..."I honestly don't care..."

Opening her eyes, she looked directly into his, red-rimmed yet full of love. As she pushed she tried to breathe...''I...I can't do it...''
And no more than a second later...Their baby slid into the doctor's hands. Khushi dropped back against Arnav.. Arnav's gaze zoned in on Khushi's...

''Khushi!'' She barely moved...
He nodded, tears running down his face. ''Girl our daughter''. Tears matted her lashes as she looked up at Arnav...

Lifting the baby girl, Arnav passed Khushi. Khushi gulped down a huge breath. Exhausted and numb, Khushi suffered through the final procedures and sson the doctors finished the process and shifted her to the maternity ward. Exhaling long and slow, she found herself fighting to keep her eyes and fluttered her open lids but fell asleep.

The family entire family barged in when khushi became conscious. Arnav went and sat next to his wife on the bed. Everyone started hugging and talking to newly parents. They soon started taking tiny one from each other. Khushi Arnav were watching them happily. Her eyes were fixed onto his while the whole family was excited watching their daughter. Arnav held Khushi's hand tight and placed his other hand gently on her face and kissed her forhead. ''Thankyou for making our life complete'' he whispered warmly.

She smiled and lightly kissed his cheek. Anjali turned and saw them whispering something.she immediately thought to leave the newly parent alone. She hurriedly took all the members outside. Briefly alone again, he brushed the hair back from Khushi's face.

"You get some rest." Closing his fingers around hers, he brought her hand to his mouth, kissing each finger, then pressing his lips to the center of her palm then lowered his head. Cool and clean, his mouth touched the corners of her mouth. He squeezed her shoulderand pressed down on the small bed. The kiss was promosing. He leaned in close so their foreheads were pressed together. He smoothed the still damp hair away from her face, his fingers drifting down her temple, across her cheek.

''I love you Khushi Kumari Gupta Singh Raizada.''

She smiled at her husband & though her trembling she whispered. ''I love you, Arnav''
