Flashback :-
Draupadi was walking here and there in her room with her hands on her 9 month baby bump, she was waiting for her Arya

She invited him 6-7 times but every time he was busy with his ministers so he couldn't give importance to his pregnant wife

The door opened and the king entered...

Draupadi - you got time for me atlast Arya ?? Or will your ministers come and spoil our privacy time now also ??

She said and pouted making him chuckle at her...

He went near her, caught her wrist and rolled her into his arms slowly and carefully minding not to hurt his pregnant wife...

He pecked her pouted lips making her bite her lips in embarrassment which made him chuckle at her

Yudhishtra - you know naa, I have a lot of work...

Draupadi - hmmm but you also know naa, that I need you in this point of time, I'm scared Arya I'm not born from my mother's womb and people say we've to bear a lot of pain during giving birth

Yudhishtra - why are you scared ?? I'm there for you priye, don't worry...

Draupadi - Arya !!

Yudhishtra - yes my love

Draupadi - what if I di... (Before she could finish the word "die" he slammed his lips against hers making her quite

The couple were lost in their kiss but their trance was broken when the baby in Draupadi womb kicked which was felt by both as they were hugging each other....

(The baby needs attention 🤣🤣)

They both giggled and broke the kiss

Yudhishtra - don't even dare to say that word (die) again, do you even know how precious you are to me ??

The baby again kicked making the couple realise that he/she needs attention...

Yudhishtra knelt before Draupadi and kept his hands on her baby bump and kissed it...

Yudhishtra - apple of my eyes, my baby prince I know I couldn't spend more time with you and your mother at this special time of life as I'm busy baby, but that doesn't mean I love you both less, you both are the reason for my happiness.....

The baby kicked again as if listening to his/her father, making them giggle again

Draupadi - wait wait !! You said baby prince !! How do you know whether it's a boy or girl arya ??

Yudhishtra - father sense
(He replied in a proud voice making her giggle)

Suddenly she widened her eyes as she felt a sharp pain

"Ahhh aryaaaaaa" she shouted making Yudhishtra nervous as he instantly understood that she has got labour pain

He abruptly made her lie on the bed and ordered the maids to call Daima and the others

"Shhh priye everything is alright" he assured her as he rubbed her cold palms

Daima came and asked him to go out

He hesitated for a while but then went out near his brothers

All the Pandav brothers has tears in their eyes after hearing her shout in pain

Strong warriors they were but one single whimper from this girl made them fall on their knees

After a long struggle the cries of a baby filled the corridor making everyone give a teary chuckle...

Daima came with a cute baby in her hands and handed him to the king,

"Prince" said Daima making everyone smile

Yudhishtra hugged his son as a new feeling arose inside him...

He wiped his tears and everyone took turns to carry the baby

Yudhishtra - Draupadi ??

Daima - Maharani needs rest Maharaj

Kunti - Yudhishtra !! Name him putr

Yudhishtra - my son is capable of bearing the weapons of the enemies like the vindhya mountains and so he will be called "PRATHIVINDHYA"

Hail prince Prathivindhya !!
Hail prince Prathivindhya !!
Came cheerful voices

The four younger Pandav brothers were fighting to carry the baby

Kunti ordered them to go and sleep as it was mid night, the brothers unwillingly left the baby

Yudhishtra's happiness knew no bounds, he sat playing with his son

A whimper left Panchali's mouth catching Yudhishtra's attention...

He happily handed over the baby in his wife's arms...

She kissed her baby's forehead

Draupadi - our baby boy Arya...

Yudhishtra - yes priye the symbol of our love...

Flashback ends

Yudhishtra - you were the precious gift god gave to me and you gave me many precious gifts especially two of those were my happiness and joy

Draupadi - I gave you ??

Yudhishtra - yes priye

Draupadi - what Arya ??

Yudhishtra - the symbols of our love, mixtures of you and me, our little bundles of joy Prathi & Thanu

The parents sighed thinking about their children....

"But I failed as a husband and a father" said Yudhishtra making Draupadi look at him in utter shock

"What do you mean Arya ??" Asked Draupadi

"Yes priye, I failed as a husband in dyut sabha" he said in the verge of tears

"That was destined Arya and you are faultless, if not for that day we wouldn't have been able to sow the seeds of Dharma, remember Govind said that all 6 of us were born for Dharmstapna ??" She said making him nod his head

"as a father you never failed pithashree" came a voice.....

Yudhishtra and Draupadi turned to see their little Suthanu in white robes...

Yeah, their daughter was a widow, the Yadav clan was destroyed and Bhanu, Suthanu's husband passed away and the ladies and children were brought to Hastinapur by Arjun as instructed by GOVIND

The couple again turned pale looking at their daughter's condition

Suthanu - yes pithashree !! You never failed as a father !! Bhratha Prathi usually tells me when we were in Panchal that you were the best father in the world we both could ask for and that is the truth pithashree, why will I lie ?? Afterall I'm the daughter of Dharmraj himself

Her words made her parents give a teary chuckle

Suthanu went away from there not being able to control her tears, she got reminded of her brother who loved her even more than his life

The couple embraced each other and stayed like that not bothering about the running time for this was the only way for them to find solace.....
