Na Bangaram (Pranushka)

Chapter 54

Miheeka's Pov:

I send a quick ok back to Anushka when she texts me that she is on her way. Prabhas, Sam, Chay, and Anushka are all coming over to our apartment to discuss our upcoming marriage. We are getting married next week, in a similar style to the way Sam and Chay did, so thought them being here would help.

"They said they are 2 minutes away," I say, sitting on the couch by Rana. He looks up from his phone and nods. I put my hand on my stomach and smile to myself. I'm still not showing a lot, but my stomach isn't as flat as it used to be.

"That's them," I jump off the couch and Rana follows behind me as I go to open the door. They've only seen our new apartment a few times, so it's still pretty new to them.

"Hey, come in," I open the door wide as Anushka hugs me and the boys walk in with rana.

"Hi Sam," I say as she pulls me into a hug. We have become a lot closer as we have been comparing pregnancies and going through this new experience together.

"Anushka, you're glowing, you look so happy, marriage is suiting you well huh," I tease her and poke her stomach. She looks down and blushes while we walk to sit on the couches. There is something different about her these past few weeks that I haven't been able to put my hand on.

I sit on the end of the couch with my laptop in front of me with Rana's arm thrown around the couch and his legs touching mine. Sam and Chay sit in the middle and she has her legs curled up on the couch and her petite frame is curled up against Chay.

I've also noticed Prabhas's behavior towards Anushka has changed. He has always been very loving with her, but now he's careful as if she is a precious glass vase he has to be careful of. They both have their legs touching the ground as she is leaning her head against his chest and he has his arms around her waist lightly and he smiles down at her every time she talks.

"So next week, are you excited," Anushka says, pure excitement evident in her voice.

"Yes! I can finally relax now that I have my dress and everything and it's going to be pretty small, so nothing much for us to do." They all nod and we plan out the timings of the wedding and how the rest of the day will go.

"And we are going to go on our honeymoon the same week you two are," Sam says while pointing at Rana and I.

"So you two will be left alone sorry," Sam says while giggling at Prabhas and Anushka who just shake their heads.

Anushka's Pov:

I smile when Prabhas caresses my wrist lightly while listening to what everyone is saying.

"Baby, do you want to tell them now. I know I said we'd wait, but now seems like a good time when we are all together," I look up at him and ask quietly. He kisses my forehead lightly and smiles.

"Good idea, let's do that." I nod and sit up slightly and cough for the four of them to look at us.

"So we actually have news too," I start off while looking at Prabhas. My lips start to curve upward as I move my hands to my stomach and look up at everyone.

"I'm pregnant," I say out loud while Prabhas squeezes my hand. I'm overwhelmed with squeals and hugs and I have a permanent grin now on my face.

"We're all going to be pregnant together," Sam is on the edge of the couch while squealing. Chay is looking at her and smiling. The love in his eyes, the love he has for her makes me smile and gives me the confidence that though things aren't going as planned, my sister will still be loved and taken care of.

"I know, imagine all the matching outfits, a combined baby shower," I laugh as Miheeka lists out all the things we can do together. I feel Prabhas rub my back as I talk to Sam and Miheeka about all the exciting upcoming things regarding our lives.

"Have you had morning sickness yet," Miheeka asks, while looking at me. I know her and Sam have had it really bad. I nod at her, "Ya it's been pretty bad, but Prabhas has been helping me with everything so it's ok," I say while smiling. I feel him run his fingers up and down my arms lightly, a habit I've grown to love.

"I went to my first ultrasound a few days ago and I got pictures," I hand them a few sonograms from my purse as I tell them about the ultrasound.

Flashback to Ultrasound

"Is it weird that I'm nervous," I turn towards Prabhas as we sit in the waiting room in the clinic. He reaches for my hand and rubs my hand with his thumb softly.

"It'll be fine. He'll confirm that you are pregnant and hopefully we'll be able to see our baby for the first time." His voice is calm and warm, making my nerves vanish from every one of his calming touches.

"You're right, let's just be excited. I mean we're married and we're going to have a baby," I say while squeezing his hands. He holds my chin in his hands and brings my lips up to his in a light kiss.

"I love you," He says, leaning his forehead against mine. I graze my nose lightly against his before lightly whispering, "I love you more."

We are finally called into a room and introduced to a lady named Dr. Patel. She is very sweet and I'm instantly comfortable with her. She makes me lay down and lift up my shirt so she can do an ultrasound on me after making me pee in a cup and testing that to confirm that I am pregnant. I look up at Prabhas and smile, as he holds my hand. His face is lit up by the light from the projector in the dark room and he looks so happy as he waits for the baby to show up on the screen, and I fall in love with him all over again.

"There you can see her little head," Dr Patel says as she points at the screen. The coldness of the gel on my stomach isn't bothering me anymore as my attention is turned to the screen and I squeeze Prabhas's hand. I feel tears come to my eyes as I see our baby for the first time. This seems so unreal as I see him or her growing inside of me.

"If you will give me a few minutes I can give you guys some pictures of your baby," Dr Patel says as I pull my shirt back down over my shirt. We nod at her, and I sit up on the bed while looking at Prabhas.

"That was amazing bangaram," He says, while holding my hands. His face is glowing as he smiles at me, his eyes still looking at the now empty screen, previously filled with our moving baby.

"I know! We got to see our baby, growing here for the first time,," I squeal excitedly while pointing to my stomach. He laughs and puts his hand on my stomach lightly.

"I can't wait till he or she is in our arms," I whisper to him as I bring my face closer to his. I peck his lips lightly, but he pulls me back in for a longer kiss.

End of Flashback

"It was amazing, I can't wait till our next appointment," I say to them while laughing excitedly.

"Enough about me, now back to your wedding. What do you want me to wear, color wise," I turn back to Rana and Miheeka who immediately smile when I mention their wedding.

"Just don't wear anything red, " Miheeka says and I roll my eyes.

I hope you enjoyed!
