CHAPTER 10 THE CHOICES THAT WE MAKE (epilogue)
(2yrs later...)
(Seattle Grace hospital,Seattle,)
"Breathe baby breathe.."
"You need to breathe.."
"Come one baby you can breathe,in and out,in and out,come one Aal-ya,you're strong,strnger than this.."
"Arr..ouchhh"
"I know you are in pain ,but remember that you need to push..."
"SHUT UP!"
"ok MEZ,you got through another one,not many more left to go.."Zain crnged once again .
"You don't get to say ouch.."
"I know ,I know -but for little hands ,you sure can squeeze tight.."he chuckled nervousely.
"well you know wht else is lttle about me,that you usually seem so happy and smug with..?"
Zain raised an eyebrow.
"Well currently am trying to squeeze a watermelon out of that and it freaking hurts and its aaahhh,probably because its got your stupid hair..and you-your stupid long nose..AWWW>>>"Aaliya Zain Abdullahh,gasped as another contraction hit her.
Zain bit his bottom lip to refrain from ouching' as his wife sqezed his hand again.he was gald that no one in the room was commenting on the potential damage to his 3 million dollar a year hand..
"Breathe baby.."
"DO NOT BABY ME!"
"You have to breathe,if you don't you can't push throught the contractions.."
Dr.Stevens intervened..."Aaliya,now would be agood time to push.okay..now take in adeep breath ,sweetheart.."Isobel smield at her dear coleagues.
"Okay ba-Aal-ya.push and breathe,breathe..'
Musch swearing,squeezing and pushing later,the doctor exclaimed."Ok...here comes the head...your baby'e head is busy Zain..and as dark as yours..."She chuckled.."Okay Aaliya..juts gimme one more push..okay and the ordeal will be over.."
Aliya stared into Zain's eyes.Fatigue, tiredness,still remained.He held both of her hands and made no whimper as she cut off all circulations to his fingers.They continued to stare into each other's eyes,as she heavily exhaled one last time ,with the last vestige of energy left in her.
Aaliya felt aburning sensation ,shifting throught the intense pain that she had been enduring for hours.then as shift,a slip and some relief...The bay was covered in white vernix,red blood and tinged blue
Evevryone in the room,including the parents,except the baby,had amedical degree.
"breathe.Suction.Breathe.."
Aaliya dug her face in his chest,as tear trickled down her face.She clutched his t-shirt,whicpering into his chst in a trembling voice.."Breathe..pleas e breathe..."
Time dragged. But in their head it stood still,as the hive of medical activities around their bay continued.both of them, at some point in their career had been in such a situation,but then they wer e present as mere medical professionals ..not s parents.
A ear splitting cry rented the air .It was the sweetest sound in the world.A sob escaped from theur lips, as the nurse brought their baby girl, and placed their lil bundle of joy in her arms. It was their baby.Her and Zain's..and hey name d her Zainab' and she lived up to the meaning of her name..she was indeed the precious stone of her father's eyes.
--------------------------------------------------------
(15 yrs later)
Aaliya nestled herself in his arms which he had wrapped around her lithe frame.A film of gliatening sweat glowed under the dim light,and their breaths shalllowed and mingled,as they snuggled beneath the coevers.
It was just like old times.Zain's hand found its way to her pert bosoms,as he squeezed them and tweaked her nipples,making her gasp."Zain!"Aaliya swatted his hand away.He chuckled and kissed her bare shouder,leaving a trail of wet kisses to her neck"Zain!What are you doing?You're simply insatiable..and over the years you never changed..."She said and interwinded his fingesr with hers.."Why should I change,because we're growing old?"he smirked.
"No because we've been married for 17 years..we have tennage daughter and a son who's a resident in the same hospital as us...and the same lplace where you shamelessly flirt with me..."
"Well I'm your husband.To the rest of the world you're Dr.Abdullah..but to me yo're just Aal-ya..my Aal-ya...my malika e Zain..."
"I like being your Aaliya..and I wan tto be that way for the rest of my life.."She said and turned to face hi.Snuggling herself in the crook of his arms,Alaiya loked up at him
"Zain...you never told me...when you really..you know ..kinda realized that you were in love wth me..."
"Well I didn't..because then..well...I was afraid that you'd never come back to me..'
Aaliya tilted her head to look at him.
"Remember that sign..Aaliya heart Zain,that you drew on the snow before signing the papers..Sam pointed it out out to me...I realized that you were in love with me as much as I was with you..or rather as much as I've been in love with you..since the night we first met in Vegas..."
"Then why didn't you stop me from leaving...?"
"Because I wanted to give you some time, so that you would be able to realize what you really want and what you really need..."
"And then that call...When was operating..?"
"Well.old Webber..he was my mentor at one point of time in my career..he is also my friend...my cast..and that broken arm thing..was kinda ruse ..and that aneurysm..wel that was just a stroke of luck,that the paient came in at the right moment..I wanted you to come to Seatle..and there was no other way.."
"And the divorce papers..?"
"They never reached the court..I threw them in the fireplace.."
"And Rihanna...you never told me her part of the story...she left..you never really got to know ...where she""
"She works in the mayo Clinic...got married 2 years after we broke up...she's a mother now..."
"And why are you telling em all these thing now...Zain..?"
"I don't know..Aaliya...thought that you would be furious if you got to know that I made you fly all the way from New York..so that I could make you confess your love for me.."
"Well..Mr.Zain Osman Abdullah..am gald that you did.."
Few grey hairs were peeking from underneath his thick black hair..lines have started appearing on the corner of his eyes...yet he was still the same handsome guy who ahd swept her off her feet on their first night in Vegas..he was still her Zain..'
"Do you need to go to the hospital tomorrow...?"He asked her,the flames of the candle dancing in his eyes..
"Not if the Chief gives me afrre pass..."
"Well..the Chief Of Surgery..will if you tell him that you want to spend some time with your hubby..."
"hmm..but what if he feels jealous..you know that he's got hots for me.."she said ,brushing the tip of her nose against his.
"I don't think he will mind if he gets something' in return.."he gave her a cheeky smile,with mischief written all over his face.
"So..wha does he really want..?"
She asked,running her finger along his jawline.
"Something that would require someone extremely hot,sexy and beautiful,named Alaiya"without her clothes..on his desk.."
Aaliya blushed a deep shade of crimson and slapped his shoulder."Chief Abdullah you better not try that one out again..last time we almost got caught by our son..and don't even thik about something like that with someone else..otherwise.."
"Otherwise what Mallike e Zain,...?"
"otherwise it'll be my last---"
He placed his finger on her lips..and soon his lips replaced them, as he drew her in for a surprisingly moanful and searing kiss..they were indeed getting old..but that was their body not their soul...J
