Za'nyah and Meezaan(finale)

" Zaiby..." Afnaan shook her husband gently, trying not to startle him.

She shook him again when he didn't open his eyes even on her third try. She had tried to bear the pain until morning but it was getting too severe now.

" Zaib!" Afnaan gripped his arm hard as a very painful contraction hit her.

Her baby was coming and she was coming now!

Zohaib woke up startled by his wife's painful shriek and one look at her face told him the entire story. He quickly helped her up and put a cushion behind her back.

" I'll just call Veer Bhai and we'll take you to the hospital, okay?" Zohaib kissed her sweaty face and she gave him a small smile.

Zohaib ran out towards Shahveer's room and not his twin's because Shahrazaad was barely a year old and Behroz needed to stay with his wife and children at home. He was informed about it though and the poor boy looked disoriented but happy as he relayed the information to his wife.

Their youngest princess was all set to make her entrance that warm morning in March.

Afnaan had cried tears of joy when she held her beautiful little girl in her arms for the first time. She was but a tiny fairy who had stars in her eyes and if one looked close enough, they would even be able to see the remnants of her magical wings.

The moment their daughter had looked at them, Zohaib and Afnaan knew they would never love anyone more than they love their Princess for she had the most unique pair of green and hazel eyes.

Za'nyah Zohaib Hamdaani is what Aamaal named her granddaughter and she has been the brightest star in the Hamdaani universe ever since.

" Baba, why are we here?" Eight years old Meezaan was confused to see their car stop at a hospital instead of their home after school.

" We're here to see Zoh Chachu's new baby" Shahveer came back and unbuckled his son and helped him down before remotely locking up his car.

" Is it another boy?" Meezaan loved his little brothers but Sherry, Zaman and Zayn were a little too much for him with their rambunctious nature.

" Why don't you see for yourself?" His Baba flicked his inquisitive nose as he opened the door of a private room after knocking.

Meezaan was excited to see almost his entire family in that hospital room and ran straight to his Mama, who hugged him close to her heart and kissed his head; just like she does everytime he or his sister come home.

" Zaan do you want too hold the baby?" Ibtihaaj asked her shy son who would never demand anything of anyone and the little boy nodded slowly.

Meezaan had seen his Nani'mmi holding the baby wrapped in a white knitted blanket and a matching hat and he knew from his sister's over excited chatter that it was a girl but his little heart wasn't prepared for what happened next.

Shahveer had helped him sit properly on a plush chair and his Mama had helped him hold the baby that his Zoh Chachu laid in his small arms.

Meezaan felt a surge of possessiveness when he saw the beautiful baby girl who had the pinkest of skin and the cutest little pout but he fell irrevocably in love when she opened her eyes.

" Mama, her eyes..." Meezaan was at a loss of words because in his entire eight years of existence he had never seen anything so beautiful.

" They're beautiful, aren't they?" Ibtihaaj who was sitting beside Afnaan by the bed said lovingly.

" They are. She is" Meezaan whispered the last part to himself and he knew that come what may, he would always protect this angel that is his.

" Looks like my son is in love" Shahveer teased Zohaib who he didn't look too pleased about it and went ahead and took his daughter back from the boy.
