Na Bangaram (Pranushka)

Chapter 77

Anushka's Pov:

I lay back on the bed in the dark room, Prabhas's hand squeezing mine tightly. The cold gel on my stomach sends shivers up my arms and till my neck, but my eyes just stay on the large screen in front of us. She feels around my stomach with the long cylinder shaped tool in her hands.

"Oh, look at that!" Her sudden reaction to the moving white blob on the screen shocks me. It gives me comfort that she smiles instead of frowns when she turns to look at an anxious Prabhas and I.

She points up at the corner of the screen at the two circles beside each other, moving around to mirror how she's feeling my stomach.

"I have good news for you two," She says, before pausing for a second when Prabhas kisses our entwined hands.

"You're having twins!" My previously held hand is now empty and I look up and I am no longer greeted with Prabhas faces looking at mine, but his side profile. He's looking at the screen in front of us with the biggest smile on his face, and I swear I even see his eyes are a little watery. 

My hands are magnets to my mouth as I tear up and sniffle out, "Oh my gosh". Maybe I did the right thing.

Prabhas leans down to kiss me softly, but I hug his face to mine for a few extra seconds.

"I'm so happy," I mumble to him, the light of the screen on our faces, lighting up our smiles.

"I'll give you two a moment while I get some files," Our doctor tells us before leaving the room after a few minutes. I pull down my stomach before I sit up against the cushion on the bed.

I stare up at Prabhas who sits beside me on the bed. He holds my hands and rests them on my lap.

"Thank you," He whispers before closing the gap between our faces and letting our faces touch.

"Why?" She lets out a small laugh before moving away from me, so our eyes can look into each other's.

"For believing in yourself and our babies." I grin and let my breaches slow down, no longer coming out fast and heavy.

"I love you," I kiss the corner of his mouth, my smooth lips rubbing off my chapstick onto him.

"I have to share my love between four people now," He says, moving his hands to touch my stomach underneath my white shirt. I shiver as his cold hands meet my stomach and rub up and down.

He stands back up when we hear a knock at the door before the doctor walks back in.

"I can't wait to tell Krithi that she's going to have two siblings now," I whisper to Prabhas once we leave her nursery where she is sleeping in her crib. We picked her up from my parents house after the appointment.

We are waiting to tell anyone about this because we want to tell them when we find out the gender in a few weeks.

"She won't even understand but she'll still giggle and smile," Prabhas replies, thinking about our daughter. I nod and lean up to press a kiss to his cheek. 

She has the same laugh as I do. It makes her nose scrunch up and her chin always tilts down the tiniest bit like mine does. We walk into the kitchen to make ourselves lunch.

"We have to finish the bread though, so we can have pasta another day," I tell him as he brings out a large bottle of red pasta sauce. I giggle at his childish pouts before he turns to put it back in the pantry and brings a large bag of potato chips instead.
