Third Person
1 year later
Amara sighed as she picked up baby Ameer from the floor and started cradling him. That was the tenth time he had cried today. "Aw baby, it's okay." Amara said as she rocked him back and fourth. She had already gotten the hang of everything by now.
Today was a very special day for everyone. It was Ameer's birthday so everyone is getting together to celebrate. Wow it's already been a year, Amara thought to herself. It seemed as if yesterday she was crying out in agony during child birth.
Suddenly the door bell rang and she went to go open it. Once she did Amir and Mahirah were the first people to come inside. Immediately Mahirah ran to baby Ameer and held him. As if magic he stopped crying and smiled.
"Ha! He likes me more than he likes you!" 8 year old Mahirah gloated with a happy smile. Amara rolled her eyes and turned to her brother. "I still can't believe you named him after me." Amir said with a five mile smile. "I'm flattered." He placed a hand to his heart playfully.
"Don't get too happy. I named him that because he looks like an Ameer. And plus his name is spelled differently big bro." She responded. I love messing with this guy, she smiled. Over the years Amara and Amir had gotten closer as if they've known each other their whole lives.
At first she was hesitant to joke around with him but now it comes naturally. Like how she jokes around with Hamid.
"Stop lying, you know you love me." He said then turned around and grabbed baby Ameer.
"How's the best nephew in the world doing? Let's get out of here and have some bro talk." He walked away from the girls.
"Come on Mahi, help me clean." Amara said and tossed Mahirah a towel and glass cleaner. Pretty soon the sisters set in motion and cleaned the entire apartment. The food is done as well now all they need is Zubair and Hamid to show up with the birthday cake and the guests to arrive.
* * *
"We're here!" Zubair and Hamid rushed in and placed the cake on the counter.
Zubair walked up to his wife and kissed her forehead. "I'm sorry for being late." He apologized and hugged her. He still can't believe that he married Amara, the girl he loved. Every time he looks at her he still feels the same butterflies he had the first time he had laid eyes on her.
Amara eventually gave into the hug. "It's okay babe. Just next time don't be late!" She responded. "Inshallah I won't." He said as they released each other. "Now where's my little man?"
"He's with Amir." Amara pointed in the direction of the living room.
He quickly walked over there leaving Hamid and Amara alone. They quickly hugged each other since it's been a long time they've seen each other face to face. With Hamid living in Los Angeles it was kind of impossible. After Amelia and Hamid's wedding they moved to LA so Hamid could pursue his dream and because Amelia had gotten a scholarship at Stanford University.
"I've missed you!" Amara said as a hot tear rolled down her cheek. Hamid held her tighter. "I've missed you too, sis." He responded truthfully, not seeing his family members for so long really made Hamid miss everything about them. He even missed fighting for the restroom every morning, which is a thing he never thought he'd miss.
"How have you been?" He asked his twin curiously. They released each other after a minute or two. "I've been good. And I have great news!"
She leaned into Hamid's ear and whispered something. "I'm pregnant but it's a secret so don't tell Zubair yet." She said excitedly. She really wanted a daughter and something in her gut tells her that the baby is a girl.
"That's amazing Mara! I'm so happy for you."He said genuinely happy for his twin. Before Amara could reply the door bell rang and in came Amran, Nur and Juwa. "Aunty!" 2 year old Juwa exclaimed as she ran full speed to Amara.
Hamid couldn't believe how big Juwa had gotten. The last time he saw her she was a couple of months old. Amara gave her a big hug and kiss then brought her to Hamid. "Uncle!" She gave him a hug as well.
"Juwa, when did you get so big!?" He laughed as he carried her. Amara walked up to Amran and Nur and salamed them. "How are you sis?" Amran asked her little sister.
"Tired! All I want to do is rest." She said truthfully. My feet hurt so much because of all the walking I've done to today! She thought to herself.
"I know the feeling. Wait... You look bigger than the last time I saw you which was like three weeks ago. Oh my god! Amara are you-" Amara quickly covered her mouth. Nur looked at them with both eyebrows raised but decided not to question it. He walked over to where the boys were.
"Yes I am." Amara said after making sure no one else would hear. "Really? Me too!" Amran said happily.
"This is amazing!"
Amara and Amran both gave each other huge hugs. "I can't believe this!" Amara squealed. The girls didn't notice the front door open until they heard their mother's familiar voice fill the room. They turned around and saw both of their parents taking off their shoes.
"Umma! Dad!" Amara gave them both hugs then moved out of the way so Amran could do the same. Soon after all of Zubair's family came, everyone was here. Now there was only one person left and it was Amelia. But unfortunately Amara knew that Amelia couldn't make it because of exams.
"Let's go sit in the living room." Amara said after closing the front door.
* * *
"I have something to say." Amara said getting everyone's attention. This is it, now is the time to tell the good news. She looked over at Zubair and he smiled at her. "I'm pregnant." She said searching his face for any reaction.
He immediately got up and hugged her with happy tears running down his cheeks. "Really? That's amazing. I couldn't be happier hearing that news." He replied honestly. He wanted another child, a daughter in particular that he could protect and watch turn into a beautiful young lady.
"Yes. And since I named Ameer you could name the baby. Whether we're having a boy or a girl." Amara said. He already had two perfect names one for a boy and one for a girl, in mind. Pretty soon everyone started to congratulate them and engulf them in hugs.
Amara placed her hand on her stomach and smiled. Of course she'll love her next child but she won't be the type of parent who has favorites. That's why she wants everyone to focus on Ameer again.
After the hug session with her parents, in-laws, and siblings she walked up to Ameer and picked him up. "Let's get some cake for the birthday boy!"
* * *
After everyone was gone and Ameer was put to sleep Zubair and Amara relaxed in the living room."I've got the perfect name for a girl," Zubair announced proudly. Amara snuggled closer to him and laid her head on his shoulder comfortably.
"What is it?" She asked curiously.
"Aziza." He stated. That was in deed a beautiful name, she loved it. "You know what else is great? If we end up having a boy then we came name him Aziz." He added.
"Aziza or Aziz." She smiled at those names. "I love them!"
"I love you." Zubair kissed the top of her forehead.
"And I love you."
* * *
"Push!" The doctor yelled. Amara cried as she pushed harder. Just a little more, she kept on repeating to herself. She squeezed Zubair hand tighter and tighter as continued to push. She knew her grip was probably cutting any circulation from his hand. But she couldn't bare the pain. It's worth it Amara, a couple minutes of pain then a lifetime of happiness, that thought got her through it the first time.
"One more time Ms. Abdullahi, you can do it." The doctor said reassuringly. Amara pushed with all of her might. Pretty the sound of a babies cry echoed throughout the hospital room. Finally they took the baby out of Amara's stomach.
"C-Can I see her?" Amara asked staring at her daughter. After cleaning the baby the doctor placed her gently in Amara's arms. "She looks like you," Zubair said looking at the baby with love in his eyes.
"Hi Aziza. Mommy and daddy are here for you sweet heart." Amara whispered sweet nothings into the baby's ear. Pretty soon Amara's parents and Ameer came into the room. Zubair picked him up and showed him Aziza.
"That's your baby sister. Promise me you'll always protect her when I'm not around. Okay Bud?" Zubair whispered into Ameer's ear.
Amara continued to stare into Aziza's eyes. Now it feels like her family is complete. "Can I see her?" Zubair asked eagerly. Amara gently placed her into Zubair's arms and picked Ameer up.
This was her happily ever after. Thank you Allah for blessing me with this wonderful family, for hearing every one of my prayers, thank you for all that you've done for me, she cried happy tears.
Everything was the way it was supposed to be.
