Part 50 - Baby's Day Out!!

"Labor Is The Only Blind Date Where You Know You Will Meet The Love Of Your Life"

(Rk's POV)

"Rishu!" Madhu calls me as she sleepily walks towards me rubbing her eyes.
"You didn't sleep?" She asks me. Now a days I hardly go to office because I couldn't leave Madhu alone at home & work in office peacefully. I even asked her to stay with her parents or mine during day times & by evening while I return from work I will collect her but she said she will get so tired. So I decided to stay home for her & work from home. But still at day times I mostly don't get time to work as I would be busy cooking something or the other for her or simply spend time talking with her or we watch some movies or I take her out for a short walk as she finds hard to walk long distance now a days. So only at the time she takes her nap I get to catch up with my office work. And now I wonder why she is here? What she wants?
"I will come to bed soon, baby. You go sleep." I tell her. She needs her sleep more than I do. If she didn't get proper sleep then she gets cranky & snappy the whole day which I don't want to experience.
"I will sit with you?" She asks. I nod with a smile. Then she pushes the laptop off my lap & sits on my lap, circling her arms around my neck as she nuzzles my throat.
Uh-oh! If you sit like this then how I will work, baby? But I love when she sits on my lap. I could hold her body close to mine & I could run my hands over her stomach. She is so beautiful & the baby inside her is a miracle from God.
"I am so excited for tomorrow event." She whispers to me. We are having 'Baby Shower' at home & our close friends & family will be here to bless Madhu & the baby.
"Me, too." I tell & kiss her soft lips.
"Rishu... I am hungry." She asks me softly. So that's why she is here.
"What you wanna eat?"
"Mac-cheese?" Quite simple! I can do it in minutes.
"Okay, baby." I kiss her lips again & help her stand up so that I can get up from the couch to go & cook for her.
"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!" Madhu shouts in pain as she lumps back on the couch. "Rishu... I have leg cramp again...aww" she groans in pain. I kneel beside her & slowly help her stretch her legs & massage them one by one to ease her pain. "Ah...ah... Maa..."
"Easy! Easy! Baby..." I shake her toe & gently pull it. Then she takes the throw pillow from her side & adjusts it behind her back & shifts position.
"Thanks, Rishu. I am fine now. I don't know what I will do without you. You are making this pregnancy easy for me with your support..." She whispers as she rests her head back. I lean up & take her head between my hands & kiss her forehead. "She will be our only child, Madhu." I tell her firmly. I can't see her going through all this pain another time. How much ever it gives me immense pleasure & makes me feel so proud to get her pregnant another time, I can't be selfish. I really can't bear my beloved taking all this pain.
"No, Rishu. We will have more kids. Don't you know the saying 'more the merrier'??"
"No, Madhu. We can be happier with this one child all our life."
"We will talk about this later. Right now I am hungry." She says as she wants to put the topic on hold but I am firm with my decision.
"You sit here. I will prepare it & bring here for you to eat."
"No. I will also come with you to the kitchen." She argues. Why can't she just do what I f**king say?
"Baby..."
"Please. I will get bored here." She pleads. I sigh & help her stand up & we walk to the kitchen.
"You know... You are so sweet." She says & kisses my jaw. She couldn't reach my cheek as her big baby bump is a barrier. "Bend down a little, Rishu. I want to kiss you properly." she scolds me. I chuckle & leaning forward, I take her lips in mine as we kiss softly. "Hmm... Stop kicking baby!" Madhu moans & pulls apart breaking the kiss. I could feel the strong kicks against my stomach as we are hugging each other. "Either she is hungry or she doesn't like PDA" Madhu says with a huge sigh. I just grin at her & went to cook for them. She walks to the refrigerator to pour some orange juice for herself. "You want some, Rishu?" she asks holding the carton of orange juice.
"No, sweety." I shake my head & start preparing Mac-cheese.
"You have so much patience, Rishu." She says with admiration.
"So you do. Even more than what I possess." She is just amazing. She hasn't even once complained to me how difficult this pregnancy is to her. In fact, she very patiently taking in all the sufferings & enjoying every moment with our baby. The love & respect, I have for Madhu just got increased tenfold.
"Yummy!!" Madhu says as she tastes the Macaroni. She likes nursery food so much which proves she is still a baby by herself.
"Every husbands should know cooking, Rishu. Then their wives life will be lot more easier & happier." She says & feeds me a fork full of Mac as a token of appreciation.

(Next Morning)
"Madhu, meri bachchi... You look so pretty." Padmini aunty caresses Madhu hair with a smile. My family & friends have arrived this morning & we are about to start the 'baby shower' function.
"Mama... Don't lie. I look so gross." Madhu pouts. She is so keen that once she gives birth to the child, she will do all the exercise & bring back her petite figure. I really don't mind whether she is fat or slim but I can't deny the fact that she will look sexy when she is slim & fit so I am not stopping her if she wants to work out after she completely recovers from the birth.
"Nah! Beta! Don't say like that. If you want a healthy baby then you should have little more weight to carry her." My mom, Radha says to appease her. Just by mentioning about the baby, a smile forms on her face.
"Healthy & bubbly baby girl? Aww... I would just give my life to see her soon."
"Hey!" I chide her. 'Sorry' she mouths at me.
"Rishu! Shall we start the function?" My mom asks me. I nod.
"Sit with her!" My mom, orders. Why? They are here to bless her & the baby right?
"Sit, Rishu." Madhu pulls my hand & I sit next to her on the sofa & take her hand in mine. On the other side Steve, Roshan & Siddharth takes their places. Little champ Steve is clinging to Madhu & that brings a smile on my face.
First, Madhu's mom showers her with rose petals & applies haldi on her cheeks & put kumkum on her forehead & bangles in her hands. "May you give birth to a healthy angel" she whispers near Madhu's ear making her smile. Then she along with Malik uncle hands her a platter full of gifts.
Madhu excitedly grabs it from them & pouts seeing the gifts as it fully contains new cloths, jewels... actually so many gold jewels like baby chain, earrings, bracelet, anklet... & other stuffs like silver bowl, spoon, tumbler, cups, etc. for the baby.
"Nothing for me, mumma?" Madhu asks padmini aunty like a small kid. I just shake my head.
"Today is not your day, Madhu. It's baby showering so all the gifts for the baby. You will get only our blessings."
"No gift can be greater than your blessing aunty." I smile at her. She smiles back but Madhu pokes her elbow at my rib. Ow!
"I know my baby girl so well so I brought this." Malik uncle takes out a huge chocolate bar & hands it to Madhu. She squeals in excitement & takes it from him. "I love you, Papa"
Next comes my mom & dad. They did the same ritual & my mom whispers placing her hand on madhu's tummy "Hey baby! It's me, your dadi. I am so thrilled to meet you... So come out soon but only when you are ready... I already love you & I will spoil you more with my love. If your mumma or papa scolds you ever, come to me... I will punish them." Mom, you are chit chatting but not blessing the baby.
"Mom, you are spoiling her now itself." I complain.
"Hun toh! She is my grandchild & I have the right to spoil her with my love."
"Aunty, Rishu will never scold his princess... But keep your punishments ready for me because I might scold her when she does mischief." Madhu strictly tells my mom & gasps.
"What?" I ask her concerned.
"She has a temper. She got so mad at me I guess."
"What?"
"She just kicked me so hard." Madhu tell me with a frown. I take her hand & kiss it because I don't know which side I should support.
"Come on... She is just playing." My mom says, now itself started supporting her granddaughter.
"I am not a football to kick this hard & you should not support her for everything." Madhu pouts. My mom smiles & caresses her hair lovingly.
Then my dad blesses the baby in his style "May God bless you dear & hope you become a powerful business woman when you grow up." I sigh inwardly. I wont force my daughter to do anything she doesn't want to do. She will choose her dream career.
"I don't want my wife to work" Roshan firmly says to my dad. Wife? And how could he decide whether she works or not? It's her choice. I sure he will be one dominating husband so I don't approve of him.
"What? Who said my daughter is your wife?" Madhu asks in shock.
"My dad." Roshan shrugs. f**k! I glare at Sultan. Sultan grins at me sheepishly.
"Hey! She is Steve's girl." Nisha says. Oh yeah, she had pre-booked. Steve is hugging Madhu's belly protectively & sitting silently. Hmm... I like him. He will keep my daughter safe I guess.
"What about you Sid?" Trishna asks her son.
"Mom, keep cool. She will fall for my charm & will choose me." Sid says confidently. Ahaan! Cool attitude. I like it!
"So much competition for your girl hun?" Micheal chuckles.
"Good luck boys!" I just wish all the three.
My parents gift a huge teak wood cradle for the baby. We have already got a cradle that bounces, a baby bean bag, a stroller storage, a traveling crib, a baby cocoon, and many more baby toys & stuffs. Madhu and I have been purchasing all these things for our baby for months now.
"Is this Rishu's?" Madhu asks. Even I find that cradle familiar.
"Yes! We treasured this cradle for his child."Oh okay! So it holds sentimental values. Then we will preserve it for the next generation too.
"Aww... That's so sweet." Madhu smiles, her eyes brims with tears as she squeezes my hand emotionally. I smile at her.
"And also this." My mom produced three small velvet boxes.
I take one & Madhu takes two boxes.
"Oh my! These are so beautiful." Madhu says.
"Diamonds forever & your love is forever!" My mom says & kiss my forehead first & then Madhu's. She is really thoughtful to choose three similar diamond studded platinum rings. The cutest one is our baby's. It's so small & I guess it will fit only when she is one or two yrs old. Then Madhu & I exchange our rings & keep our baby's ring safe.
"May you & your baby share a lifetime of joy" Trishna whispers near Madhu's ear & kisses her cheek. Their family presents a wide range of story books, melodious music cassette & a baby monitor.
"Rishu, this baby monitor will be very useful when the baby sleeps in her room & we make love in our room." Madhu whispers so that only I can here. I couldn't but chuckle at her idea.
Trishna winks at us, knowing what we are discussing. I doubt she purposefully got this gift for the baby...um no, for us.
"Hey, little angel, you are already blessed with the best parents but still we bless you to have the best of things in your life." Nisha coos to the baby. Aww... sweet!
"Aww... so cute." Madhu says looking at Nisha family's gift. It's a huge stuffy pale pink teddy bear.
"Since she is a girl baby, I specially got these dancing shoes." Nisha holds two baby ballerina socks & few other baby booties. They are actually nice collections... ladybug booties, watermelon booties, magic fish booties, patchwork booties, sweetcorn booties... How every damn thing for babies look so cute? May be its because babies are cute.
"Hey, Baby girl! This is your sultan uncle. Hope you will not become a brat like your momma." Sultan says & earns a hard smack on his head from Madhu. "Ouch! What? My son is not so patient like Rk to tolerate all the tantrums your daughter throws at him like how you throw at my poor Rk." Sultan sympathizes for me. I scowl at him. Cut your crap man!
"Here. This is our gift." Dipali cuts him off & hands their gift. Its a blooming bather. A cute pink colour rose petal like blooming bather.
"I bet this is Dipali's idea, right?" I ask Sultan.
"Yep! How do you know that?" sultan asks with a frown.
"Because you are a fool to thing creative." Madhu comments giggling. Ah! She took my words.
"No, actually we thought at least by this way you will give bath to your baby daily." Sultan grunts. Madhu pouts.
Then few of our close relatives start showering their blessings & finally my mom asks me to wish Madhu & the baby & give my present.
"Mom, you all blessed them. That's enough."
"No. No. You should wish them too."
"And you should give me gift too." Madhu adds grinning. I smile at her. Then I follow suit the ritual of putting bangles, haldi, kumkum & flowers on her.
I don't know what to say & bless them so I just whisper "Stay blessed & happy, Babies!" I just want my two babies to be blessed & happy forever.

"My gift" Madhu puts her palm up. I place a velvet box on her palm.
She quickly opens the box & says "Omg! I love it." it's a gold chain with a locket.
"This locket?" she asks looking straight at my eyes. I point to my chain's locket. "For the baby's first tooth." I have Madhu's first tooth preserved in my locket & Madhu will be having our baby's.
"Where is your first tooth, Rk?" Sultan asks me.
"Why? You are gonna put it in your locket?" Madhu asks smirking.
"If I could find it..." Sultan says with a blush. He is f**king crazy!
"When did you turned to a girl?" I ask him shocked.
"Why?"
"You are f**king blushing, man" I growl at him. He blushes even more which gives me a 'Eewww' feeling & others just laugh at us.

"Tired?" I ask Madhu as I settle on the bed beside her. Such a long day. Even I am totally drain in so surely she must be tired. I had even noticed her squirming on her seat, adjusting her pillows to give some comfort to her back... she was quite restless all day. So I asked her to go to bed while I sent the guests off.
"Hmm..." she couldn't even articulate that to a word. She just snuggles close to me & hugs me. I kiss her forehead & all too soon we both dozed off.
Because I am on the edge, I am only slightly dozing off, when Madhu wakes me up.
"Rishu! Rishu!" Madhu shakes my shoulder gently. I squint my eyes to adjust with the light. It's still dark outside, then why she has woken me up?
"What's it, baby? You want something." I ask sleepily.
"The flood gate is opened." she says in a kitten soft voice.
"Huh?" I ask confused. What flood? What gate? She is kneeling beside me & sweating profusely.
"I guess it's time. Take me to the hospital." she says so calmly.
"What? Is she coming?" I ask with wide eyes as I jump up to a sitting position. She nods & take a deep breathe.
"Okay, come." I step out of the bed & help her.
"Wait." she stops me. "Put your T-shirt on." she says possessively as she clutches her stomach. God! Even now! I sigh & quickly grab my T-shirt from the chest of drawers & throw it over my shoulder. I will wear it in the car.
"You are not stepping out of this apartment bare chest." she orders.
"Madhu, you are in pain."
"I can manage. You put your shirt. Quick!"
I know I can't argue with her anymore so I quickly pull my T-shirt over my head.
"Now, come."
"Baby's bag." Madhu reminds me. I quickly run to bring the baby's bag we have packed already.
"Wait a minute, Madhu. How come you are so cool & composed, when I am shitting bricks?" I ask in wonder.
"Um... huh... I... that... Rishu..."
"Okay, leave it. We don't have time for that." I take her hand & drag her. "You can walk or should I carry you?"
"I guess I will walk but slow down your pace."
"Sorry. Come."
I try not to show my nerves as I drive Madhu to the hospital in record speed, where Dr.Rishab is on stand by to meet us & usher us through.

~~0~~

"Ahhh...Rishuuu... Ahhh..." I could see Madhu wilting as she gets tired from the contraction.
"Doctor... Do something... She is crying in pain." I plead.
Each time she has a contraction she grips my hand so hard it really hurts, but I know its nothing when compared to what she is going through.
"You are almost there. Keep pushing Mrs. Kundra." Doctor guides.
"I can't. I can't do this. Rishu... Rishu... Help me." Madhu cries.
"Push! Madhu. Push! You can do it baby."
"No. Ahhh... No..." She throws her head back & screams.
"Rishu... She will be our only child." She says. "Yes." That's what I want to hear from you baby. "You are not going to touch me. Ever again." What? No!
"Don't be fool, Madhu." I growl at her. f**k! Rk! She is not in her right mind now. You make her understand later...or simply leave it. Her hormones will ask for it!
"I can't go through this again. I can't!" she groans.
"Come on. Push Madhu." I encourage her as I smooth her hair behind.
"You only said nah... You don't want a C-section & that you are not too posh to push & will bring our baby to this world naturally?" I remind her. I literally begged her to go for an elective ceasarean as I didn't want her to go through this hell but she turned down my offer saying she wanted to give birth to our Ruby, naturally.
"Yes." She agrees.
"Then you can do it. Just keep pushing baby."
"I love you, Rishuuu..." She screams.
"I love you too...so much." I kiss her forehead as my eyes well up with unshed tears.
"Is this the first time she is confessing her love to you?" Dr. Rishab asks me in surprise. I frown at him not knowing why he is asking me this irrelevant question now.
"No. She daily says 'I love you' to me. Its like a chant to her."
"Oh!"
"Why you asked?" Madhu asks curiously forgetting her pain momentarily.
"Well, my wife confessed her love for me for the first time when she was in labor, just before giving birth to our twins... So asked." He says with a shrug, slightly embarrassed for asking it now.
"Why she took so long to propose you when you are this sweet, Doctor?" Madhu asks in a weak voice. God! Madhu... Focus on pushing.
"Baby..."
"Doctor, I would like to meet your wife... And ask the same question to her... And also ask when love started for her?"
"Love started after marriage... but she took so long to confess... was just waiting for the right moment & confessed on my birthday & that's the same day our twins were also born." He shrugged.

"Aww... she is so romantic."

"That she is." Doctor agrees.
"Oh... Ahhh..." Madhu screams again remembering her pain. She is quite funny.
"Goddd! Why is she struggling in? Rishu, you give her one push & also ask her to come out. she will solemnly obey your words" Madhu takes my hand & places it on her belly. Oh no! I am scared to even touch her. I don't know how delicate she will be.. I don't want to hurt her or our baby girl.

"Baby, please... come out darling." I plead.
"Rishu... Push..." Madhu with force pushes my hand which is beneath her hands.

"Ahhh..." she scream & then falls back tiredly as we hear our baby's loud cry. Is she here? did she really obliged to my words? Daddy's girl!
"We did it." Madhu whispers. "Yes! You okay?" I ask Madhu. She nods with a weak smile. I rest my forehead on hers & send a silent prayer to God for giving my babies safe to me.
Then I straighten up as the Doctor places the baby on her front on Madhu's now deflated belly to clean her up.

"Thank you, Doctor" I tell him & he nods with a smile.

Madhu with her excitement grabs our baby girl up her body & the baby smoothly slides up as she seeks warmth from her mother.
"Gently!" I instruct the nurse who is hurriedly cleaning the baby with a baby wipe. Madhu & I look at our little miracle in fascination as she quickly falls asleep, safely resting her head between Madhu's cleavage, forgetting her earlier cry. Madhu leans down & kisses our little angel who is in a gorgeous blush pink colour. I blink my eyes to clear my vision from the tears. Happy tears!
"Rishu..." She looks up at me & cries. I know how emotional she feels now as I feel the same.
"I love you, Madhu. You made me so happy today." I kiss her forehead & leaning down I kiss the shock of hair on our baby's head. She is covered with mush & blood but I don't mind kissing her, after all she is my blood.
"Mr. Kundra, here cut the umbilical cord." Doctor instructs. I cut the umbilical cord & detach the baby from Madhu but she will be bounded by her love & mine forever.
Later, Doctor Rishab has asked the neonatalogist to check the baby's apgar & declares that our princess is healthy & of perfect weight. I sigh in relief. Finally my dream family is here. My Madhu, My Ruby & me. Our family is completed with this beautiful baby girls arrival.

A little later, Madhu & our baby girl were shifted to a private ward.

"Did you informed our parents & friends?" Madhu asks.

"Yes"

"Then why they are not here, yet?" she asks with a frown.

"Um... I called them only half hour back." I tell sheepishly. I actually forgot to inform them in all the tension. When I brought Madhu to the hospital early in the morning, she was straight away taken to the labor ward & for hours we were in there & only after dawn, our sunshine has appeared, then with all the clearing & shifting process I forgot to let them before.

Madhu shakes her head & turns to look at our baby who is sleeping on her crib.

"She is so beautiful" I tell Madhu as I kneel beside the baby's crib.

"Just like you." I add.

"Bring her to me, Rishu." Madhu whispers.

I nod & gently take our girl in my arms. She is so soft & warm just like her mother.

"Here hold" I give her to Madhu but she panics to take her in her arms.

"How do I hold her? She is so small, Rishu. You sit with me & hold her. I will just look at her."

"Come on, Madhu. You are her mother & she would love to be in your arms." I tell her with a smile & gently place our Ruby on her arms & Madhu hugs her so close & securely to her chest as she coos the baby.

"Thank you so much, Rishu." Madhu whispers, looking into my eyes. I smile not knowing why she is thanking me.

"For giving me a second chance in love... loving me unconditionally... and for this precious little gift." she explains her reason for thanking me as she cries. I gently wipe off her tears & kiss her soft lips.

"I love you, Madhu, now and forever!"

"I love you too, Rishu."

Then we hear our little angel's soft cry. She is sleeping one minute & next minute she is up & seeking our attention.

"Aww... Sorry baby. Papa & Momma loves you too." Madhu coos & kisses our baby girl's forehead. I gently caress Ruby's velvet soft pink cheek with my finger. Ruby opens her eyes & looks at me.

"She reminds me of you, Madhu." I tell Madhu with a smile. I feel so nostalogic. I could still remember the day I took the little baby Madhu in my arms & now she is holding our baby girl, Ruby.

"But I see you in her, Rishu. She is so perfect like you." Madhu says & kisses my lips.

Then I take Ruby's little hand & kiss it gently.

"She looks so cute like a doll nah, Rishu?" Madhu says adoring our little darling's beauty.

"She is. Our Baby Doll!" Madhu & I both lean forward & kiss Ruby's cheeks on either side as I take our first family picture using my phone. A Picture Prefect moment!
