ANSH'S POV
" Ahana... C'mon.. Get up... We're up for our appointment..." I called my sleeping wife while wearing my shirt. She's still like a child.
" Hmmm... Ansh..." She called me softly.
" Ahana... It's already 9:15 now..."
" What..." She nearly jumped off the bed.
" I'll be ready in a moment... " She said rushing in the bathroom.
It's been two days since we came to know about the pregnancy. We still haven't informed anybody about it. Ahana still wants to be sure about the pregnancy before informing everybody else. It's Sunday and the boys are with their grandparents so it's a perfect time for us to meet Mrs. Bhatt.
" Ahana.... I really want us to have twins again.... Two baby princesses... How cute? Isn't it?" I said driving the car.
She laughed.
" Ansh.. Really?? Do you plan to have a cricket team of kids? I don't want to have twins this time..."
" Triplets... How fascinating... " I said promptly.
" Gosh! No... I don't want to go through that twining thing again... Don't you remember how difficult it was to handle Ayan and Aman together? "
" Hmmm... It was fun. Wasn't I there by your side... Always... "
" Yeah... Sure you were... Apart from those untimely unscheduled meetings and paperwork... You were with me and my kids 24/7... I really appreciate it. That's why I don't wanna exhaust you."
" Ahana.... C'mon... You told me you would be fine... "
" I was just kidding Ansh... "
We reached the clinic within some time.
" Ahana.. Ansh... So happy to see yo two, again... I thought Ansh would never want to see my face ever... " Mrs. Bhatt mocked.
" Yeah.. I would prefer to. But really I appreciate all the efforts you put in for Ahana and the boys. Also, this time we have a special situation.. "
" I am really happy for you two. How are the twins doing? " She asked.
" Amazing... And we expect that they will have a younger sister or brother soon. " Ahana said.
" There are chances.. Two of them... Perhaps sisters mostly... " I said quickly.
Mrs. Bhatt laughed loudly.
" Ansh... Surely wants a lot of kids..."
" Yeah.. But I want Ahana to be perfectly Fine... This Fine... I hope you understand me..." I said with a serious tone. I meant it. And I know Ahana knew that.
" I understand... Let's go inside..." She said.
We were waiting for the reports in her office. Mrs. Bhatt entered with some files.
" Are they twins? " I asked promptly.
I was surrounded by laughs.
" I'm afraid not..." There was disappointment filled.
" Ansh... " Ahana called me sternly.
" Sorry... I-Is there any issues Doctor?" I asked.
Ahana clasped my hand tightly.
" No... Ahana's uterus has recovered completely and it's grown stronger than before. The baby looks completely fine. " As soon as she said that she looked at me.
I was indeed the happiest person.
" Ahana... Thank you... "I said as we were about to get in the car.
" Ansh..... " She didn't say anything further, instead she tip toed and kissed me on his lips. I smiled widely. I grabbed her waist and we shared the moment.
We planned to tell everybody about it. I called everybody home. Ma, both the dads, grandads, Mir, Piya, Jaai and Zara along with all the munchkins.
Our living room was lively bustling with everybody's voice.
" Ansh... What is the news?" Ma asked.
" I think I can make a guess..." Zara said.
" Well... Before you guys make any weird guesses we'll say it..." Ahana said.
" Yeah.... We are expecting another little angel... Ahana is two months pregnant. " I said.
" Oh! My... You really seem to be moving fast, Ansh... Father of three munchkins already... Congrats buddy..." Mir said giving me a tight hug.
" Buddy... Prepare yourself well... Handling three can be tedious but trust me it's gonna be wonderful... " Jaai said.
Everybody left after a while giving us lot of well wishes. Only the four of us were felt alone. Ahana was about to take the boys for a bath when Dad returned.
" Ansh... Ahana... Can I speak to you for a minute? " He said.
" Hey boys! Why don't you paint something for your younger sibling? I'll help you shower in a while." Ahana said hugging the kids and sending them to their room.
" Since everyone left, I wanted to speak you alone... " Dad said.
" Let's sit Dad... " Ahana said.
Somewhere I knew what he wanted to say.
" Look, Guys... Everybody is extremely happy with the news you shared but we really care about you, Ahana... Thus, this time I want you both to be fair with us. I'll really appreciate if you involve any one of us and share the reports with us. I don't want us... I don't want you to face that situation again. " He said in his calmest voice.
I agree with him completely. He was absolutely correct.
" Dad... " Ahana spoke first before I could say anything.
" Trust us... We won't do anything that would make any of us sad. The reports are all normal and their aren't any issues this time." She said.
" Ansh..." He looked at me.
" Yes, Dad... Please be at ease. Things are alright..." I said assuring him.
" Hmmm... I trust you. You have your own little family now. I know you'll be responsible now. Rest assured... Take care and rest well Ahana... Enjoy... Bye. Good night." Saying so he left.
Ahana looked at me and quickly hugged me. I smiled and wrapped her up.
" Thank You, Ansh... "
" And Why... " I asked.
" Hmmm... Just for being their with me. But I am just scared. I really want this baby. " She said softly.
I looked at her, cupping her face in my palms.
" I want it more than you. Trust me... Everything's gonna be alright. " I kissed her briefly on her lips.
" Papa... " We heard our kids call. At once Ahana released my hold.
" Grandpa left?" Ayan asked.
" We drew him a card. And Ayan made one for the little baby too. " Aman said.
" Really? Show me. " Ahana said.
The card said 'Welcome To The Family'. It had cute cartoons made beside. They really are very smart boys.
" Papa... Are we going to have a little brother or sister? " Aman asked.
" What do you want?"
" A little sister would be so cute, isn't it? I already have a brother." He replied.
" Yeah... Even I want a sister... Mommy... Can you please bring a sister for us. " Ayan said.
Ahana smiled looking at me.
" See... Everyone here wants a princess." I said holding her hand.
" But, Ansh... " She said.
" Hmmm... " I hummed still looking at the pictures my boys had drawn.
"... It completely depends on you Dear... I hope you are are well aware about that..." She whispered in my ears.
" Huh! " I looked at realising what she said. There was a cunning grin on her face but I won't disagree the fact. I wish it's a princess.
" C'mon boys... Let's get you your bed..." She said taking them towards their room.
" Hey! Ahana... I know. It's definitely a girl this time. "
" Ansh... You said the same thing last time too..." She laughed.
But I know it's girl. That's a inner gut feeling.
***
I got up from the bed suddenly to find Ahana missing. It's 1:40 am. Where the hell is she? I went to the boys' room, first. Ayan and Aman were soundly asleep. Where could she go? At once I realised she is pregnant. I turned abruptly towards the kitchen. The dim light was scattering from the area. I smiled and walked towards it.
It's been 2 month since we informed everyone about the baby. Ahana is 4 months pregnant. She isn't showing like how she used to be when she had the twins. I'd asked her to work from home but she still visits the office. The adamant her.
Aman and Ayan are equally excited. Dad frequently calls for the updates on the reports and we are visited by them more often now.
" Ahana..." I called her softly.
No reply.
I walked in straight.
" Ahana..." Startled, she turned. All the cabinets were open and the eyes had tears on its brim.
" Hey!" I moved closer.
" Ansh..."
" What happened, sweetie...."
" I-I am looking for the coffee bottle. I bought it just a week ago. I've searched the entire kitchen." She said still looking in the cabinets.
I chuckled.
" Are you really crying coz you can't find coffee? " She looked at me and quickly wiped those faint tears off.
" I-I am not crying, stupid... " She said finally giving up and sitting on the platform.
" Really??"
" Ansh... Look.. You haven't been through this hence you aren't aware how it feels, Okay... So... Don't you dare make fun of me..." She folded her hands.
" Ahana... " I caressed her cheeks.
".... I've had the bottle hidden..." I whispered in her ears.
At once she pushed me away.
" What? Did I marry a Satan? How can you do that, Ansh? You know how badly I am craving for coffee." She was actually angry. I never thought that cravings can be so difficult.
" I know, honey... "
" Dare you flatter me... Bring me that bottle now..." She demanded.
" I will... Okay... But listen carefully... It's not good for the baby, Ahana... It contains caffeine..." I said holding her face in my palm.
" I know.. Ansh... I know... I'm trying to resist it since a week. Its so hard. I've been having those caffeine free coffee but it's like having a pizza without cheese. " She said resting her head on my shoulder. I rubbed her back, laughing. All she can think about is food.
" It wasn't so difficult during the boys.. But this time, it's really giving me a hard time..." She wrapped her hands around me. Her face was engulfed in the crook of my neck.
" What if I brew it for you?" As soon as I said that she withdrew the hold and looked at me. Her eyes were glittering.
" Really?? " I nodded.
" But.. The baby... "
" She's strong... And I won't let any harm come to her." I assured.
" Hey! Don't you think you are being a bit gender biased?" She asked.
" Hmmm... Perhaps... Haven't you read
'The Secret'? It says that you have to strongly believe in what you want. And the entire universe will conspire to help you get what you want."
" Hmmm... I know that. But during the boys also you were sure that one of them is a girl. Why didn't the universe help you then? " She asked smiling.
" Coz... I didn't wish it with my heart. And all those time they kicked when I touched you I knew somewhere that they were boys... But now.. Look at this... " I said placing my hand on my belly.
"... She's definitely my princess..." I said. Ahana was laughing till their were tears in her eyes.
" Ansh... You are assuming too much now. I am just 4 months pregnant. The foetus has just started with its development. There's time till it kicks. Enough of your theories. "
" Ahana... Do you want your coffee or not?"
" Of course I want..."
" Then don't lecture me on Biology. I've had enough till my 10th grade. Let me live with my theories. Now, you have a seat on our sofa and I'll make coffee for you. Dare you follow me find where have I hidden or you won't get nothing..." I said seriously.
" Yes... Boss... " Saying so she kissed my cheeks and left the kitchen.
After about 15 minutes I took a tray placing the glasses and went in the living.
" Ansh.. It really takes this long to prepare coffee? Hmmm... It smells wonderful." She said not even looking at me. She was solving a Sudoku Puzzle.
" C'mon... Give me the mug..."
" Here..." I said.
Disappointed filled her eyes as she saw what I said offered her.
" Ansh.. What the hell is this? "
" It's Ansh's special Kit-Kat chocolate milk shake along with the brewing aroma of coffee." I said taking the incomplete puzzle from her hand.
" Nah!! This is not what I want, Ansh... It's cheating. Where is my coffee?"
" Ahana... Trust me this milk shake is equally delicious and look at the KitKat over the top. Don't you like it? And here's the aroma of coffee. It's a perfect blend and best for your health too. " I reasoned out putting her hair behind her ears.
She seemed incompletely satisfied.
" Yeah... I like it but still... I wanted... "
" Ahana... "
" Fine... I'm having this now because you've worked hard to make it. Next time... "
"... I won't cheat you..." I completed her.
I know her cravings can be terrible but I will try my best to give her the best. Avoiding coffee is getting difficult for Ahana but we have to work this out. I saw as she happily savoured the milk shake.
" It was really worth sacrificing the coffee." She finally said.
I smiled as I cleaned her mouth. Her dimpled smiled was enough to make my efforts worth.
" Ansh... Let's complete this..." She said taking the newspaper.
***
" Papa... Mumma... Wake up... " I felt a small push on my shoulder.
Rubbing my eyes I realized where I was. Ahana's head was perfectly resting on my chest. We slept on the sofa itself. Gosh!! We were so tired solving the Sudoku and the crosswords that we didn't realize when our eyes gave up. Ahana was still in her deep sleep.
" Papa..."
" Sshhh..." I shushed my two talkative boys looking at their parents like this.
" Papa, you really had chocolate milk shake without us?"
" Ayan..." I said, defeated. No one can overrule these two. I forgot to clean the glasses too. They were looking at me for an answer. Ahana was still sleeping.
I gently lifted her up and carried her in my arms.
" Boys.. Help me quick... Aman take this glasses in the kitchen and Ayan bring the newspapers in." I said as I placed Ahana's hand over my neck and grabbed her tightly.
She really wasn't waking up. Pregnancy really makes her so sleepy.
" What are you waiting for? " I asked as Ayan and Aman were still staring at me.
" Papa.. Are you sure you can carry Mumma safety?" Aman asked.
What?? They didn't trust their Father.
" It's not that we don't trust you. It's that we are just worried about our Mumma. " Ayan said.
" Well, she's my wife too along with your mother. So... You better do the work assigned and get ready for your school. I'll check on you after I put your mumma to bed. She needs rest.. Okay..."
" Yeah... " They said in unison.
Little did they know that I carried even them along with their mother. I smiled at their cautious behavior. My little munchkins. I looked at Ahana. She was drooling. A beautiful sight.
I placed her on our bed and covered her up. I brushed quickly and left, closing the door. Those two can't be left on their own. I even had to prepare the breakfast. Never knew that handling a family would be so tedious but Nevertheless it's amazing to have one.
I made us breakfast and got them ready for school. They really give a tough time when Ahana's not around but surprisingly they were pretty much reasonable today, knowing their mother's situation made them behave well. I asked the driver to drop them off. Usually it's me but today I was still in my sweat pants and t-shirt. Jen texted me about my meeting which I had in an hour. I sprinted after kissing my boys goodbye which is a tradition that Ahana follows usually.
" Ansh..." I heard her say as I entered the room.
" What time is it?" She asked.
As soon as I tell her she will sprint off the bed.
" It's 9:20..."
" What the..." Before she could jump I held her quickly.
"... It's alright. I send them to school. You can rest well. Don't act such spontaneously giving jerks to your body."
" Hmmm... They left without giving me kisses." She said standing up and doing the bed.
" They are aware you need rest and gave them on your behalf... I'll give you some on their behalf... " I said grinning and holding her.
" Ansh... Get going. You'll be late. " she pushed me after a long warm kiss.
" Yeah.... And rest well today, Ahana..."
" Yup... " She replied.
Mrs. Bhatt said that Ahana should take complete rest to avoid any problems. She agreed to do the work from home. I left for the office after having the breakfast with her.
***
It was around 9 pm when I retured home. The boys were watching TV.
" Hey... Guys.."
" Hi.. Papa..." They replied.
" What are you watching?"
" It's football... Manchester V/s Chelsea." Ayan replied.
" Join us..." Aman said.
" Don't you guys watch too much TV?" I said sitting beside them.
" It's Saturday tomorrow. We are allowed." Ayan said.
" Fine... I'll change and join you... "
I was climbed up the stairs towards the bedroom when suddenly I heard Ahana shout.
" Ansh... Ansh..." I looked at the boys and they didn't hear it suppose.
It was coming from our room. I dashed in.
" Ahana... Are you..." She wasn't in the room.
" Ansh... I'm in the bathroom..." She sounded panicked.
" Ahana... W-What happened... " I opened already ajar door.
Ahana looked at me. Her eyes were red and swollen, her face was wet and she was crying.
" A-Ahana... " I drew closer.
" Ansh... I-I am b-bleeding... " Suddenly I looked down at her feet. There was blood around her legs. She was shaking.
" I-It's Alright... Honey..." I grabbed her waist and she clunged to me. Her head was rested on my shoulder.
" The B-Baby... Ansh..."
I rubbed her back and cleaned her feet with water. I just want Ahana to be alright. In a go I picked her up in my arms. Her head was still engulfed in my chest.
" Ahana... Stay awake..." I called her as I saw her eyes closing.
Did she faint??
Carefully, holding her firm, I ran downstairs, sweat dripping through my forehead. I'm sure my heartbeats weren't normal.
Her eyes her closed now but I saw the tears free flowing. It must be extremely painful to be in her place.
But, my pain isn't less.
I can just pray.
God! Please keep them safe...
