"But I thought you don't want to get used to this" Aadesh waved a hand across the kitchen island indicating the lunch

"Well ,I'm not getting used to anything. Today is just an aberration" Armaan said taking a plate for himself and looked at Janani waiting for her to serve

Janani raised an eyebrow at his expectant look

"Serve" he said curtly

"Ah!! Are we having a repeat performance from the morning?? If you had told me earlier I would have recorded it in the morning. We wouldn't have to waste our energy on the same thing" Janani retorted leaning against the kitchen island

"You did serve him without complaining. Why this double standard, huh??" Armaan asked

"He was polite " Janani shrugged

Armaan pressed his lips into a thin line

"Well ,I do have two perfectly functioning hands" Armaan said starting to serve himself

"Sh*t Sherlock!! I thought you had only one" Janani said making Armaan grunt in irritation

Armaan took a bite and sighed

He could forgive her if this is how she always cooks!!

"Have you heard of the saying Janani ,the way to a man's heart is through his stomach??" Aadesh asked grinning and Janani nodded smiling

"I think you are already paving the road" Aadesh added

"My heart is off limit ,Aadesh.No matter what" Armaan said wondering why Aadesh is making such statements

"Duh ,I was talking about my heart" Aadesh said smirking earning a glare from his brother

*****

Its been an hour ,they have been inside the baby shop

It is the most happening baby shop in the city

A wide range of things are available here

Anything and everything a child under the age of five needs ,you could find here

They are in the clothes section now

Advi is out like a count in his stroller and Armaan was standing guard for him while Janani has picked a variety of clothes for Ava and dropped it into the shopping bag which the sales woman is holding now

"Now we will go try all this" Janani beamed at Ava and picked her up walking towards the trial rooms

"You are going to try all these??" Armaan asked in horror

There might atleast be three dozen dresses inside the shopping bag

"Ofcourse. How else did you buy her previous wardrobe??" Janani asked frowning

"Er...I had a designer come home and take her measurements " Armaan said rubbing his hands on the back of his neck

"Wonderful " Janani said sarcastically and walked inside the trial room with Ava in her arms

"Would you like something to drink Mr Verma??" The manager who had been shadowing him since he entered the building asked

"Whiskey " Armaan answered and the manager looked taken aback

"Never mind" Armaan said waving him off

He sat on the couch and pulled Advi's stroller nearer and sighed

He had cancelled an important meeting with a Japanese client for this unexpected shopping trip

There would be heavy losses

Then he remembered the smile on his little girl's face when Janani showed her a pretty yellow coloured frock

It's worth every penny he lost!!

He heard some shuffling from the stroller and peeked in to see Advi stretching and yawning and opening his cute little eyes

They stared at each other for a moment and then Advi let out a loud wail

Armaan bent down and picked him up

"Hush baby...hush!!" Armaan tried to console his son

Advi grabbed a fistful of his father's hair and tugged at it making Armaan wince

"Uh oh..." Armaan tried to gently pry Advi's fingers from his hair which made his grip stronger and wail louder

"Mama" he cried loudly

Armaan walked towards the trial room with a crying Advi

"Janani....come out" he called urgently

Janani who heard Advi's angry wail came out with Ava

Janani made Ava sit in the couch and took Advi from Armaan

"Armaan..can you get me my bag"

Armaam immediately brought the bag and Janani took Advi's milk bottle from her bag

"He is just hungry." Janani said

"How did you know he is hungry??" Armaan asked wondering how she can understand that

"I just know" Janani said and brought the bottle towards Advi's lip

Advi immediately latched on it and started sucking hungrily

"Sit here" Janani asked Armaan to sit on the couch

Armaan frowned and sat there

"Now hold him. Keep a hand under his head and another on the bottle" Janani said as she placed Advi in Armaan's lap

"Me???" Armaan asked in absolute horror

"Nahi...aapka padosi." Janani said rolling her eyes

"I don't know how" Armaan muttered

"Are you ,The great Armaan Verma telling me he can't even feed his own son??" Janani asked gasping dramatically making Armaan grit his teeth

Armaan glared at her and held the bottle

Janani helped him position the baby comfortably in his arms

Armaan looked down to see his son staring at him while drinking his milk

His son!!!

He saw Janani taking a small tiffin box from her bag.There were some orange segments inside it

She was feeding Ava the fruits

"Ava ,baby ,spit out the seeds" Janani asked and Ava did so

"If you didn't spit out the seeds ,they will grow inside your stomach and become big trees" Janani was telling Ava with all the animations

He couldn't help but smile

She does have her way children
