Ashwin and Ashima wanted to make their pregnancy journey as one of the most memorable one in their lives, compared to all those they had before. They came up with lots of plans. 

Throughout the pregnancy journey, Ashwin took care of Ashima so much, like how a father would take care of their kids. Ashima felt so loved, the love and care Ashwin showed on her was very different, made her feel extremely special.

But like every other couple, they had their bad times as well, Ashwin had to deal with Ashima's mood swings, at times, she barely spoke to him, she wanted to just be alone, there were times where Ashwin felt they should have flown back to Chennai and be with parents as he can't handle Ashima alone. But he will tend to sit and think that they are in this together and he must be the one who must give in and make sure Ashima is alright. Whenever he's in doubt, he would call his mum and athai, ask them what to do and follow it. Even with all the doctor appointments, he was up to date.

A few months later, they got to know that they are having a twins. The excitement and happiness they had multiplied a lot more after knowing that Ashwin was surprisingly shocked too as Ashima always wanted a twins.

Ashwin: abby, nee nenaikradhu lam apde nadakadhu?

Ashwin: ah, see, they are mummy's chellams so they will be according to my wish

Ashwin: eh hello, I'm their dad in case you forgot about it
