" We can see our baby's heat beats now, ohhh...when will it come?" I said excited.
" Soon, not much days left now." She said.
" See baby! This is you! In your mom's tummy!" i said showing the ultrasound pic in the camera.
We had decided to record our parenthood journey, so we are making a video diary. We will surely gift it to our baby someday.
" Aarya look in the cameraaa!" I whined as she just hummed.
" Leave it naaa....you are paying no attention to me!" I said poking her cheeks.
" Yup! It's going to get completed !" She said knitting the pink sweater she had been trying to make since I don't know how long.
" See baby this is the 5th one your mom is trying to make!" I said moving the camera towards her and trying to control my laugh.
" Hey! It's the fourth one! I am going to make this a masterpiece!" She said dramatically.
" If you want we can buy more baby clothes, why make it?" I asked.
" No...i just want to make two same sweaters, one for you and one for the baby, you will look so cute!" She said dreamily.
I just shook my head chuckling. She keep talking about the baby whole day!
" Ummm......go freshen up, I'll make something for you." I said.
" Hmm....i feel lazy todayyyyyy" she said stretching her arms.
" Go have a nice bath, I'll cook till then, do you want to have something of your wish, I'll make it." I asked.
" Anything you make, you always cook delicious." She said clapping her hands.
" Ohhh....does baby want to have something?" I asked caressing her belly.
" Nope! Anything dadda makes will be fine, we both will enjoy it!" She said.
" Okay, bottle guard with some salad and chapati! Isn't it a nice combination?" I asked grinning. I know she hates it the most, she'll rather stay hungry than eat this.
" Nope! It isn't." She said scrunching her nose.
" But you said you'll eat anything I'll make? Don't you like my food anymore?" I asked pouting and sounding upset to make up an act.
" Yup! Anything but not trash! Make something tasty, spicy you know?" She said grinning wide. Her chubby cheeks puffed up as she looked more cute.
" Okay! As you command madam!" I said getting up not before kissing and pulling her cheeks.
I first made her sit to give her a nice oil massage. She is having hairfall now-a-days and she gets concerned for it. So I try to oil her hair atleast twice a week with nice warm oil.
I took her to the washroom as I helped her remove her clothes and prepared a warm bath for her. I came out and prepared a nice dinner for us, as she came after freshening up.
" Wow! This smells so good!" She said sitting on the chair.
" Go ahead, dig in!" I said as she picked the spoon to take her meal.
" So? What did dad say then?" She asked sitting on the sofa as we were done with the dinner.
" I told him the whole plan so he said he'll need to work and ask the investors and everyone if they could invest in the plan. He asked me to prepare a solid file with all the plan to first open a café here, if it works we can open a chain in major cities then." I told giving her the ice cream cup and spoon.
I once told her about a café I want to open for my love for cooking. I didn't ever think I'll be able to work on it. But doll encouraged me to try once. She told it will be the best gift for her and our baby. I am really nervous and afraid that if the plan gets rejected or is not considered, then everyone will be so disappointed in me, especially arya, if she gets to know the plan couldn't pass.
But she told the gift won't be the opening of the café, the biggest gift for her would be that I tried my best for us and our family.
I decided to talk to dad and start working on it. To fulfill my dream and for my love and little love whom we are eagerly waiting for.
We spent time talking and giggling, as she told she'll help and support me in the project to the fullest.
We had our medicines, as we sat on the couch, while I read a book for her. She really love when I sing to her or read a book for her.
" So baby, did you like the last story, I'll tell you a new one tomorrow." I said caressing her baby bump as the baby responded with a tiny kick.
" Ohhh...it keeps troubling me kicking all the time." Doll said caressing her belly while smiling.
" It has started recognising our voices too." I said.
When the baby kicked for the first time, I got a bit scared. I really felt for a second it will hurt arya and she'll start crying, but soon we were talking with the baby while it responded by moving around or kicking.
" ummm...." Arya responded with a hum.
" What happened? Are you feeling low" I asked concerned.
" I don't know, I don't feel nice." She said rubbing her eyes with her fists.
" Do you feel nauseous?" I asked.
" No, just some uneasiness"
I nodded.
" I'll get some water." She said getting up to get some water from the dining table.
I heard some water falling and then arya squealing as I turned to look at her holding her baby bump.
" It's okay, I'll clean it. Did you spill water on yourself too?" I asked as she just hissed.
" Ohhhh...it's okay you got your pants wet? Go change, I'll clean the floor." I said as she cried a bit unable to handle her weight as her legs trembled.
" AARYA!?" I said holding her.
" Are you okay?" I asked.
" Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh......myyy...my water broke!" She said.
" What!? Oh my god!" I almost screamed.
I made her sit on the couch as I came with the maternity dress and a small towel.
I helped her change and wiped her legs. As I pressed the towel on her core. Be calm! The doctor asked to handle such situation with calmness. Oh my god! I can't! I am panicking right now!
I picked the bag and helped her get up as we immediately rushed for the hospital.
" Don't worry doll, everything is fine! I am here." I said holding her hand while she cried in pain.
" Ohhh god......aayannnnnn.....i am going to die......" She screamed in pain.
" No..no..don't say that.....everything is fine! Our baby is coming, don't worry!" I said.
The nurses and doctors were rushing to prepare for her delivery. I didn't expected things like this. The more she cried in pain, it felt like my heart was being ripped.
" We need to hurry up! Baby will be here anytime!" The doctor instructed the nurses and staff.
While I was here holding aarya's hand in mine trying to console her while tears flowed from her eyes and her forehead glistened with sweat.
I wiped the sweat from her forehead.
" Aayan! I'll die like this! Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!" She screamed.
" No....no nothing will happen! Don't say like this! Everything will be fine! Our baby is going to see us soon!"
Our parents already arrived as I informed them.
Dads were standing out while mom was busy helping aarya as she rubbed her palms and cooed her to console her.
" Don't worry dear, you will be blessed with a very beautiful baby. Keep calm!" Mom said caressing her hair.
Soon the doctors and nurses prepared for her delivery. They were taking her to the ward as I followed.
" Sir you can't come inside, everything will be fine we will take care of her." The nurse said.
" No please, she is in pain, can't I come inside?" I asked as dad and mom stood by my side.
On a few requests the doctor agreed as I entered the ot wearing the surgical dress.
" Don't worry doll, everything is fine!" I said wiping the sweat off her forehead and neck.
" Just few pushes you can do it!" I said.
The other staff were also busy as the doctors and nurses encouraged her.
She screamed on top of her lungs due to pain while tears flowed down her eyes. I too started feeling dizzy but nothing mattered more than her.
The scene started unfolding as she pushed harder while more fluid and blood started oozing out. I tried to keep myself up but suddenly everything turned - blank.
Aarya was screaming and crying while I was holding her hand. I tried to console her but she couldn't control herself. The doctors and nurses panicked and rushed here and there and suddenly everything turned calm. I looked at aarya. Her eyes closed. It felt like she fell asleep. What happened? Where's everyone. I tried to wake her up but she didn't responded. I looked around to see everyone crying. Wait! What's wrong? What happened?.
Arya? Nooo....please get up! Aarya....what will I do now? Please get up! Nooooooooooo.
Suddenly I jolted and sat up. It was a bad dream. Oh my goodness! Where am I? I looked around to find mom and dad sitting there. Mom came towards me with a glass of water as she told me I fainted there.
Suddenly I heard arya screaming and crying.
Oh god please give me all her pain. Don't do this to her! I can't see her in pain like that. I will do anything! Please not my aarya. What will I do without her. I will be alone without her. What will I do then? Please take anything not my aarya and my baby. They are precious to me more than anything. Please god! Save both my babies!
Tears flowed down my eyes as I kept begging and praying to god.
Finally the cries and screams subsided as I heard the soft cries of the baby. All of us immediately stood up as the doctor came out with a baby wrapped in a soft towel.
" Congratulations! It's a baby boy!" The doctor announced.
The environment suddenly turned warm and joyous. Mom cried as she moved a few notes over the baby's head and handed them to the maid working there.
" Baby's father hold the baby please!" The doctor said smiling.
" Me?" I asked as I was still shocked.
" Yes please!" She encouraged.
I moved forward. Oh god! He's so small. What if he gets hurt when I hold him? No no!
I hesitated as doctor instructed me with a warm smile.
The moment I held the baby in my arms, I couldn't control as I burst into tears of happiness. A part of me and my love. He's the symbol of our love. I can't believe it. our baby. Mine and aarya's. The sense of responsibility and protectiveness that took over me for my love and little love in my arms can't be explained. I'll do anything for them. I'll keep them happy and protect them at any cost. They are my life.
Mom and dad blessed him with so much love. I saw tears of happiness in their eyes.
I looked at the doctor as I asked.
" How's aarya? Is she fine? Is she still in pain? When will she recover? Is she crying? Is she calling me? Does she need help?" I kept asking as the doctor cut me in mid and replied
" She's absolutely fine, please wait for a while we will stabilize her and shift her to the recovery ward." She said as I nodded.
Soon they arranged everything and shifted aarya in the ward. She was unconscious for a while. Mom and our dads were busy arranging everything for baby and aarya and informing people about the little bundle of joy we were blessed with. I kept sitting beside her holding her hand. She's so strong! Every mom is! I am so proud of her!
She slowly opened her eyes and looked around. I caressed her hand and head as she looked at me. She smiled and asked
" Did you see him? He's so cute!" She said smiling.
" Yeah he is!" I said smiling back at her as my eyes teared up again.
" Are you okay? You fell unconscious there, I got so scared!" She asked.
" I am okay don't worry." I replied as a few tears rolled down my eyes.
" Hey! What happened baby? Are you okay?" She asked wiping my tears.
" I am......i am .....i am so sorry! I couldn't be there for you over there. You were in so much pain and I couldn't do anything. What would I have done if something happened.......no no no nothing will happen to you! You are okay right? O my god! I got so scared! Aarya promise me you won't go away from me ever! I.....i don't want more babies. I am happy with you two. I....i love you so much aarya....i'll protect you and our baby, I'll keep you both the happiest! I promise! Stay with me!" I said sobbing hard. Tears rolled down my cheeks as I hiccupped and whimpered.
" Hey! See I and baby are totally fine! Why are you crying baby? Everything is fine, where will I go leaving you I am here with you forever! I believe you! Everything will be fine we are here for each other. You are my strength my love! I love you too!" She said caressing my cheeks.
I kissed her and wrapped my arms around her trying to hide her in my embrace from everything. Soon we heard the baby squealing as we looked towards the crib. I went and picked the baby as he looked at me with those innocent doe eyes of his. His features resembled both of us.
I took him to her as she slowly took him in her arms.
" Yes baby! Did mom and dad didn't talk to you?" She cooed as she softly hummed.
She kissed his nose.
" Are you hungry you want milk?" She asked.
The baby looked at her with his sparkling eyes as we chuckled seeing him.
" Wait I'll call the nurse." I said.
The nurse came as she helped aarya feed the baby.
He softly suckled and fell asleep as soon as he got his little tummy filled. I helped aarya cover herself as I sat beside her wrapping my arm around her caressing her as she leaned her head on my shoulder.
We looked at him. Sleeping soundly as his chest steadily moved with the soft breaths. His tiny little fingers wrapped around her finger.
" I love you both so much!" I said kissing both their foreheads.
" we love you too." Aarya said smiling as she looked into my eyes. Those eyes filled with pure love and so much affection for me and our baby.
" I can't wait to spend my whole life with you and our baby!" I said.
" Me too, I too want to see you changing diapers!" She said as we giggled.
" Sure! Changing diapers, extra laundry, being up till late nights to make him sleep and taking care of you, am ready to do it all!" I said looking at her.
She leaned towards me as I leaned forward too and our lips molded with each other as pieces of a puzzle. We shared a passionate kiss full of love and promises to be with each other forever.
And soon we were wrapped in the embrace of each other's warmth and immense love as we admired our little bundle of joy.
