Aaliya's POV
I woke up with a smile on my face and a heart full of love and content. I turned over onto my side to find Amir sleeping peacefully and looking so innocent on his sleep. I got out of bed and slipped on my nightgown and made my way towards the bathroom. I brushed my teeth and decided to do two dutch braids and change my clothes.
I didn't need to wear a scarf on the third floor as it belongs to us because only we use it and Amir asked his parents if we could keep it. If anybody wants to come they either message or announce their presence before climbing the stairs. We are also thinking about changing one of the spare bedroom into a kitchen.
I decided to dress comfy but appropriate so I wore a purple oversized hoodie with 'Sorry, I am late, I didn't want to be here' in white lettering with light grey jeans. It was funny and I know it would piss Subhan off because when I first came to this house and was getting a tour of the house, I saw the exact same hoodie and coloured jeans on his bed in his room. However, I don't know if he is going to be dressed like me coz then I could have taken the mick of his outfit.
I then started making my way towards the twin's room. I heard small muttering coming from inside the room and began to wonder who it was and slowly opened the door. What my eyes saw next made my heart swell with pride, knowing I have taught my daughter well and brought her up, right.
There in front of me, Amira was carefully placing a small, soft toy into the hands of a crying Ariyan and was carefully rocking Ariyah in her arms whilst sitting on the bed.
"Ari, Riya, you have to be quiet, mommy and daddy shleeping," Amira said as she gently hushed the twins trying to entertain them, to stop us from waking up. Aww, she is too good and kind for her age. Her birthday is in a week and she wanted to go to Disneyland, so I guess we could surprise her. It is not like she knows when her birthday is as she is a kid.
I walked in the room as quietly as I could and walked in front of Amira, she turned around and looked up at me like a deer caught in headlights as I gently laughed at her expression. I too Ariyah out of her arms and placed into mine as she gave a little giggle whilst Amira looked at me with her little mouth dropped wide open.
"What are you looking at baby?" I asked her as she opened and closed her mouth repeatedly before finally answering my question.
She really is my gorgeous and amazing baby, I thought as I smiled at her and gave her a big kiss on the cheek, her small giggle like music to my ears.
"You make her sho kwite by doing nothing (you make her so quite by doing nothing)", Amira said as I laughed and shrugged my shoulders.
"Maybe because I am her mommy and I have special powers that she listens to," I said as I joked with Amira but realized that she was serious about the whole power thing.
"Really? Mummy hash powersh", Amira began screaming as I placed my hand over her mouth being careful not to wake Amir up as he had a busy day yesterday. We all did. It was amazing seeing and experiencing his childhood games. I just can't believe we messed about like little children in a professional business-like building.
"No Mira, mummy doesn't have powers I was joking with you, baby," I explained as she still gave me a weird look as if not believing me.
"Hmm..fine. Wheresh daddy I bored?" Amira asked me as I was about to reply but someone beat me to it.
"Aww, is my bebeh saying mummy is boring?" Amir asked as I turned around to find him standing in the door frame, looking as hot as ever with black jeans hanging so low on his waist, you would fear they would fall off. His hair, perfect regardless of the fact that he just woke up as they looked styled to perfection.
"Are you done checking me out?" Amir asked as he smirked at me forgetting about the fact that Amira is still in the room as well as the rest of the children.
"No, because I wasn't in the first place and go and put a shirt on Amir, it isn't good to walk around topless not only coz Amira and the kids are here. But you wouldn't want your mom or dad walking up here giving you a lecture on manners no would we?" I asked him as I mischievously smirked at him.
"You wouldn't?" He asked.
"Oh, I would", I replied as I placed a sleeping Ariyah in her cot and made my way towards the door as I smirked at him and began my way past him.
As I made my way out the door I did a victory dance as I had escaped him by ducking. But my victory dance was short as the next thing I know was a hand around my wrist pulling me backwards. Oh no, please no. I have a very clear idea of what he wants to do.
"No, Amir! Let me go! I know what you are going to do and I will scream and shout, calling everyone upstairs!" I threatened as he continued to pull me back as I was kicking and trying my hardest to not let go of the door frame. I don't want to be tickled to death by him.
"Oh, really. Well let me see you try to escape", he challenged me as I smirked to myself. Let's bring it on.
I turned around and pulled Amir's hand off my wrist and began walking towards him as I smiled. Taking slow deliberate steps towards him, leaving him looking at me with a questioning glare. I placed one hand on his cheek and one on his neck as I moved closer to him. Leaning in for a kiss, only to find him move slightly towards me as he let his arm drop from the door frame and place it on my hip, I took this chance to run out the room into mine and grab the first scarf I could find which was surprisingly grey.
I quickly placed it on top of my head and ran downstairs. By the time Amir had realized what I had done, I was one staircase away from the living room and could hear him shouting my name and knew he would take his time finding a top to put on as he wouldn't want another lecture.
I let out a victory laugh. Two points or more to me and one for Amir.
I finally reached the kitchen and made my way towards the dining room with Amira right behind me. When did she get here?
I walked towards the dining room as there was a source of chatter and laughter coming from inside there. I walked inside and the scene in front of me shocked me. There sitting around the table everybody and I mean everybody was wearing the exact same outfit as me including mom and dad.
Everybody was sitting around the table, with the food that was untouched presumingly waiting for us. They were all laughing at something Smira was saying as Subhan looked down his cheeks flushed and his hand scratching the back of his neck.
I slowly entered the room with Amira holding on my hand and I noticed she switched her pink top for a matching purple hoodie as mine but a light purple one as we couldn't find the right sizes in both colours.
"Phuppo Fina!" Amira screamed as everybody turned to look at us and began laughing at what Amira and I were wearing.
"When did you guys know about Subhan's school game?" Safina asked me as I looked at them in puzzlement.
"What Subhan's game?" I asked as they looked at me before bursting out in laughter.
"It was Subhan's football match at his uni, his uni has there own team and we decided it was funny to all attend in matching clothes so we decided to buy these as there weren't all our sizes in the other colours, so Simra told us light grey jeans would look better with purple than black to give it some colour.
So we decided why not attend and had Subhan leave his jersey at home so Simra wore his jersey through the first half of the game and then she wore the same hoodies as us through the second half. Even Amir joined in," mom narrated as Subhan glared at his mom for telling the story to me.
"It was so funny, the whole entire football team began pointing at us as we stood up and cheered but it also seemed as if we really didn't want to be there as we all had other things to do. The number of stares and glares we got from the other people and some of Subhan's classmates was so funny," Dad said as I began laughing, the image clear in my head.
"Oh, poor Subhan. That must have been embarrassing but how come I saw the same outfit in your room?" I asked him as his head shot up and his eyes met mine pleading me to stop talking.
"Oh, haha Subhn thought it was male fashion until I showed him a picture of you on your Instagram the day before you got married to Amir. He too was wearing it when I showed him the picture and he has tried so hard not to wear it around you since but as you can tell, he didn't know that we were all going to wear it today," Simra explained as I nodded my head.
"Well, I bought it way before I got married. I bought it when I was about 20 because I liked the statement written on there and when Amira turned 1 I bought her the same but there was no dark purple so I bought light purple instead. It has fit both of us ever since," I said as they nodded their heads.
"Good morning everyone," I heard a voice say that I oh so feared. I turned around to find Amir's eye fixed on me glaring at me. Probably because of what I did earlier. But hey, I needed to get out of the room alive.
"Morning beta (pronounced (beh-tah)), where were you?" Mum asked him as he finally turned his gaze towards his mom.
"The twins woke up and started crying, so I put them back to sleep and closed the door. I then had a shower and got dressed and emailed my office to give me any updates of when I need to come in and I didn't know we were all wearing the same clothes. I only wore these because Aali was wearing them and I thought it would be funny to match with her", Amir answered as he glared at me and I smiled sheepishly back at him.
Thank Allah that everybody was already seated around the table and there were no spare spaced next to me as Amira and Simra were sitting next to me but the only space that was empty was the one directly opposite me. Oh Earth, open up and swallow me right now.
Amir began making his way towards the dining table and sat down and grabbed his plate before proceeding to place a pancake on his plate. I feel so bad about what I did upstairs but he deserves it but I wanna make up for it by making his plate of breakfast as I know he never eats the amount he wants to in front of his family, He waits for them to go before sneaking food to our bedroom and then eats in peace.
"Here, let me", I said as I grabbed his plate and ignored his protests. I placed four pancakes on his large plate and placed a variety of fruits and berries next to them with some chocolate source as well as a glass of orange juice and two pieces of toast with a cooked egg on a separate plate and placed it in front of him.
Everybody looked between Amir and I as I made Amira's plate and broke up the pancakes for her so it was easier for her to eat and then made my plate.
"What are you guys looking at?" I asked as they continued to look at Amir and his plate but Amir seemed unbothered and began eating his food staring off with the pancakes.
"Are you planning on stuffing my boy and beefing him up?" dad asked as I began laughing at the image of a beefed up Amir who also choked on his food and began laughing at what had been said and stopped eating his food.
"Eww, no! Why would I want to beef up your son, this is the amount of food he eats every day. you guys just don't notice", I answered truthfully, as I felt Amir glare at me and nudge me with his foot under the table, causing me to almost jump at the sudden contact.
I looked at whilst he glared at me and I sweetly smiled at him. I can't do anything as I feel like he is still targeting me for the little act I pulled this morning. I quickly shut my mouth and began eating, luckily no one saw what had happened between us.
Simra tapped my shoulder and looked between me and Amir. Oh, why is there that one person who always sees everything they should not see? I asked myself as I turned towards her and raised my eyebrow.
"Did something happen between you two?" she asked me as I decided whether I should tell her or not. So I decided to tell her however halfway through she began laughing hysterically and shouted half the sentences out loud.
"You did WHAT! I can't believe you dod that, now I know why he said he took a shower," Safina said as she began hysterically laughing with Simra joining in as everybody looked at her in shock.
"Safina! Shut up, you dirty minded crazy girl!" I exclaimed as I hoped no one had heard the story like Safina did and hoped no one heard what Safina said but guessing by their faces they definitely hear including Amir.
We had all finished our breakfast by now and had put away the food and tidied up but Amir was drinking his orange juice which he spat out once he had heard what Safina had said and as I was sitting directly opposite him, it resulted in all the juice coming right on me.
I screamed in disgust and jumped out of my chair.
"Oh my Allah, Safina you had to say that out loud and Amir you had to spit the juice out directly in front of you!" I exclaimed as I started furiously wiping my face with some paper towels, luckily I wasn't wearing any makeup and my jeans were saved, my hoodie was now soaked and my scarf was dripping with the sticky substance that came out of Amir's mouth.
EWW! DISGUSTING!
I got out of my chair and huffed as everybody was trying to hold in their laughter to not offend me but the deed was already done.
"You might as well as laugh now, instead of holding it in. I won't mind after a while," I said and instantly everyone burst out in fits of laughter whilst I glared at everyone and made my way upstairs to change my clothes.
I finally reached the floor of our room and heard soft crying. I instantly ran to the nursery and saw Ariyan and Ariyah both crying as they looked at each other through their cribs and reached out one arm towards each other.
I carefully picked them both up and walked to my room and placed them on the bed. Whilst trying to change my clothes I realized they haven't eaten yet so I nursed them both and put them back on the bed as I finished changing into a mustard colour hoodie and grabbed a black scarf that I loosely placed on my head.
I grabbed some face wipes and tried cleaning my face as best as I could but gave up and made a border out of pillows around my babies and walked towards the bathroom, leaving the door open in case anything happens and proceeded to wash my face.
After washing my face and brushing my teeth again, I made my way towards the bed and sat in front of both babies as they smiled and began mumbling in their baby language.
I forgot what it was like to have tiny babies because I don't really remember much with Amira as I was going through so much stress and trauma as well as university that ammi and abbu would help me but as soon as I got over everything, I tried my best to make all the memories with Amira last and beautiful.
I began ticking both my babies just to hear their little laugh. It was amazing having twins as I love baby clothes they are so cute and love dressing them up but it is so hard when it comes to spending the right amount of time with each child and giving them the right amount of love and attention as well as food. It is difficult but Alhamdulillah I have a great loving family that is very understanding.
Just as I was about to pick up Ariyan to play with and rock him in my arms, someone beat me to it. I look up to see Amir grabbing Ariyan and gently twirling him around in the air as he let out small soft giggles as he smiled at me and began laughing at what our children are like. I couldn't help but aww at this.
Having children is such a surreal feeling as they have finally come into this beautiful yet ungrateful world and you want to protect them from all evil and harm, but also allow them to have their own space.
I placed Ariyah in my arms as she cuddled into me, even more, than she normally does, causing my heart to warm up even more. I couldn't help but give a kiss on her cheeks and a small quick kiss just to the side of her adorable baby mouth.
I stood up from the bed and walked towards Amir who was now rocking Ariyan back and forth, pulling faces at him to make him laugh. I decided to do the same with Ariyah as we both had little fits of laughter when Ari and Riya discovered new things about themselves and each other. It was honestly the cutest thing ever.
We decided to take them downstairs as everybody would kill us if we told them the babies have been awake for ages and we haven't brought them downstairs.
"I swear our family love the babies more than us, I mean we were a part of them coming into this world," Amir exclaimed as I slapped his chest.
"Watch what you are saying Amir, they love you as well. Like you said they had a part in you coming into this world yet they loved you more and I love you a bit more than I love them," I said as my cheeks flushed a little bit. But it was too late for him to reply as we had reached downstairs and I started to walker faster till I reached the living room, where everyone was sitting.
"Ari, Riya! Come to phuppo," Safina shouted as she took Riya from me and sat on the sofa playing with her.
"Come to chachoo," Subhan shouted as he grabbed Ari and took him from me and sat on the sofa next to Safina as the two of them began to compete over who would grow up to love who. Simra was sitting next to Safina, playing a game with Amira on her phone.
I quickly took a picture and saved it on my phone. I swear everyone has a pair now and I began wondering if this was deliberate or not.
"You guys love our kids more than us. Wait now till you have your own children one day and how I will take them and keep them away from you all day," I threatened everybody as they just laughed and continued playing with our kids like we never existed.
I just huffed and sat on the love chair and Amir came and stood in front of me as I raised my eyebrows at him
"Move up, there is nowhere to sit, please", he said as I looked at him again to make sure he was okay in the head.
Since the U-shaped sofa was taken by my brother and sisters in law as well as mom and dad and my children there was no place for Amir and me to sit.
"Okay, but are you sure we are gonna fit?" I asked him as I got up from the sofa.
"Yes, you will fit," he said as he sat down and pulled me with him making me land straight on his lap as I gasped and quickly sat on the armrest of the sofa instead.
"What is wrong with you, Amir?" I asked him as I looked to make sure nobody had seen but I am pretty sure from the way mom was smiling at me she had seen what happened, as Amir began laughing.
"You are crazy bebeh", I said to him as he placed his arm around my shoulder as I leaned into his chest and stayed there not caring who saw because it was nothing inappropriate, I was just leaning on him.
"Yes, I am crazy but only for you wifey", he said as he smirked at me and leaned in to place a kiss on my cheek. What is he doing? My heart began beating faster as his lips came in contact with my cheek in front of everybody as well.
I returned the smile and we all faced towards the TV getting ready to watch Avengers: End Game.
