It was Chhaya's seventh month of pregnancy and today was her Godh Bharai ceremony.
Chhaya was wearing a beautiful green saree and her traditional jewellery for the function.

Advik felt so protective and possesive of her when he saw her. He had always loved when she wore sarees.
He wrapped his hands around her baby bump. She was carrying their babies. She rested her head against his chest and smiled.
He helped her out and made her sit on the place that was made for her. The ceremony went well but Chhaya was extremely tired by the end of it.
She lay on her bed. Her legs were paining a lot. She felt someone massage them gently and she moaned in relief.
"Kitne suj gye hai pair tumhare. Tel se massage kr du?"
(Your feet are swollen. Should i massage it with oil?)
She nodded and he got up to get oil. He massaged her legs till she felt asleep. Getting up he cleaned her legs, covered her with the duvet and kissed her bump and head.
**************************************
Chhaya was in her last month. Her belly looked huge. A few months back they got the news that Bhavna was pregnant. Chhaya had made a pact with her that if she had a boy and Bhavna had a girl then she would be his daughter in law.
Right now she was sitting on the bed feeling restless. Advik was in the office due to some important issue which required him.
She called him and he picked up in the second ring.
"Kya hua jaan? Sab thik hai na? Is it time?"
(What happened? Is everything ok?)
"Nhi. Advik aap ghar aa jaaiye na. Mujhe bhut ajeeb sa lag rha hai."
(No. Advik come back home. I am feeling very restless.)
She said and it seemed as if she would start crying any moment.
"Aa rha hu. 10 min mai pahuch rha hu. Okay?"
(I am coming. I'll be there in 10 minutes.)
She hummed and disconnected the call. Advik quickly collected his things and started off to his house. He did not even want to come at the first place but the work required him only.
Chhaya was feeling very restless and so she started getting off the bed but before she could she felt something trickling down her legs.
She clutched her stomach and bedhseet. Just as she was about to shout Ananya came in.
"Bhabhi wo mujhe aapse- Bhabhi! Oh my God!"
(Bhabhi i wanted-)
She went near Chhaya seeing her pained face.
"Bag kaha hai?"
(Where's the bag?)
Chhaya pointed towards the couch. Ananya took the bag and helped Chhaya out carefully.
Anuj and Priya were sitting there. They got up as soon as they saw them. Priya helped Chhaya. Just then Advik came in.
"Shit!"
He said as soon as he saw her. He held her by the waist and supported her weight on him.
He took her to the car and made her sit carefully.
"I am so sorry. It will be okay."
He murmered and kissed her head and quickly rushed to the driving seat. He drove to the hospital. His heart sank with each of her screams.
The doctor immediately took her to the delivery ward. After what felt like eternity they heard a baby's cry. Some time later another cry was heard.
Advik's eyes pooled with tears. His babies were here. The doctor came out after some time with two babies wrapped in blankets. His son was two minutes elder followed by his daughter.
Advik broke into sobs seeing them. Her mother handed the babies to him. He took them both in his arms. His mind went back to a few months back.
"Ye kya kar rhe hai Advik aap?"
(What are you doing?)
Chhaya asked him when she saw him walking around with two pillows in his arms.
(I am practicing. When babies will come how will i hold them.)
Hw said grinning widely.
He placed kisses on both of their heads. The nurse asked for the babies for their general checkup. Priya went along with the nurse while Advik went to the room where Chhaya was shifted.
She was sleeping peacefully. Her face looked tired yet happy. His respect and love for her increased manyfold.
He saluted every mother out there who went through so much pain and uncomfort to bring these little humans in the world.
Chhaya woke up after an hour. She saw Advik looking at their babies with a smile on his face which bought a smile on hers too.
Priya helped Chhaya sit properly and Advik handed her the babies carefully. Her baby boy was just like his father in his looks and her baby girl was total her copy.
She kissed both of their noses and they yawned cutely. Advik took his baby girl and Chhaya admired the babies properly.
The nurse asked her to feed the babies. Everyone went out expect Advik. He helped her feed their boy first and when he was done he passed her the girl making the boy sleep.
**************************************
Two days later the naming ceremony was kept. Both the babies were dressed in matching jumpers and were sleeping holding each other's hands.
The havan was done and the priest gave the letter 'A' for both of the babies.
After a lot of discussion 'Arnav' and 'Ahana' were the names that were finalised.
Chhaya whispered their names in their ears and the babies smiled in their sleep.
After dinner everyone went to their rooms due to tiredness. Chhaya kept on looking at her babies who were sleeping peacefully.
She held Arnav's small hands and placed soft kisses on them. She did the same with Ahana's hands too. Advik came out of the washroom after freshening up.
He went to the other side of the bed and looked at her. She looked up at him and raised her eyebrows.
He leaned carefully not hurting his babies and gave her a passionate kiss. He pulled back making her bite her lip.
"Don't look at me like that. You are healed yet."
He murmered and got inside the duvet. She pouted and got inside too. Why did he leave her craving for more when he didn't want to continue. But he was right though.
She looked at her babies and slept with a smile. ************************************** Only the epilogue is left now.
