Never Leaving U ( Completed )

Chapter 23

Recap: Vikram proposed Sana on her birthday.

-------------------------------------

Morning light streamed through the windows as Vikram and Sana woke up, stepping out into the garden for a refreshing walk. Inside, Amudha Amma was busy preparing breakfast for Sana, calling out to them as she reminded them of their doctor's appointment.

After getting ready, Vikram and Sana made their way to the dining hall, where Pugazh and Pranitha greeted them warmly, pleased to see the couple together. Outside, the guards were already in position, prepared to accompany them to the hospital.

"I think it's time for us to leave. Shall we, wifey?" Vikram asked with a smile.

"Sure, Vikram. Let me get my file," Sana replied, turning towards their room.

Before she could move, Vikram stopped her. "I'll get it," he said, hurrying to their room. He searched for the file in her closet and, upon finding it, his eyes softened as he flipped through the scan reports. His throat tightened with emotion as he gazed at the images of their baby. Swallowing hard, he took the file and headed downstairs.

"I got the file. Let's leave now," he said, slipping his hand into Sana's as they walked out.

The couple got into the car, their convoy of guards ensuring their security. The paparazzi, excited to see them together, followed closely, cameras flashing. The guards did their best to divert them, but upon reaching the hospital, Vikram surprised everyone. Wrapping his arm protectively around Sana's waist, he waved to the cameras. The power couple stood briefly for their clicks before Vikram dismissed the reporters, promising to speak later.

At the hospital entrance, the chief doctors and PRO arrived to receive Vikram and Sana personally, guiding them directly to the doctor's cabin. As Sana had entered her final trimester, the doctor took her for a scan to check the baby's position. Vikram accompanied her, his grip firm on her hand.

The doctor applied gel to her abdomen and began scanning. The monitor was turned towards Vikram. As the image of their fully grown baby appeared on the screen, Vikram felt his chest tighten. His eyes shimmered with tears as he squeezed Sana's hand.

Once the scan was complete, Vikram helped Sana down, and they returned to the doctor's cabin.

"Sana, it's good to see improvement in your vitals," the doctor said. "The baby has also gained weight."

"Thank you, doctor. My husband takes good care of me," Sana replied, smiling at Vikram.

"When is she due, doctor?" Vikram asked, concern laced in his voice.

"She will likely go into labor within a month, maybe after 20 days. We will monitor her closely. Mrs. Vikram, eat healthy, walk regularly, and continue your medications. If you feel any discomfort, call me immediately."

Sana thanked the doctor before stepping outside, where she noticed a different car waiting for them.

"I don't remember arriving in this car. Did we?" she asked Vikram, puzzled.

"Yeah, I sent the driver to the office to deliver some important files. So we have a different one now. Shall we?" he replied.

"Vikky, can we stop by the ice cream parlor before going home?"

"Anything for my love."

At his signal, the driver took a detour to the ice cream parlor. Before they could enter, the guards checked the premises. Once inside, Vikram pulled out a chair for Sana.

"Tell me, what flavor do you want, love?"

"Blackcurrant with toppings, chocolate with chips, and butterscotch with honey," Sana listed eagerly.
