Being The Sheikh's Queen

BONUS CHAPTER 03

Farzana took a deep breath in as she put a hand on her baby bump as she felt a slight tightening on her lower region.She pressed the button on the side of her table which summoned Zaahida into her office.

"Ma'am,you called for me?"

"Nam." Farzana stood up,hodling her back,"Is Ridwaan in his office?"

"Nam."

'Cancel my meetings,please.Is Ridwaan busy?"

"La,sayida.His last meeting just got finished."

"Okay." She begun to walk out the room,towards Ridwaan's office.She knocked on the door,after getting his permission she entered.She saw him looking down at the file in front of him.

"Ridwaan."

He looked up,his eyes going wide when he saw her wince in pain,"Zana," He got up,making his way towards her,"What's wrong,baby?"

"I think,I'm in my early stage of my contractions." She whispered as he got closer,his eyes going wide and he nodded his head.

"Should we go to the hospital?"

She shook her head,"La,the contractions are pretty spaced out,when they ten minutes apart we can go to the hospital.Can you cancel my meetings,please."

"Sure.You can lay down on the couch."

Farzana shook her head,"I'll feel better if I walk around."

"Are you sure?"

"Nam." She said with a nod as Ridwaan picked up his phone to call off her meetings.He gave an excuse as she paced around his office.He looked at her in worry which she caught as she turned around,"I'm fine,get back to work.There's still time." She winced again,this time he shook his head.

"La,you in pain.Let's get you to the hospital.They can administrate you with epidural,I can't see you suffering like this."

Farzana walked to him,she put her hands on his arms,smiling at him,"We've been through this,Ridwaan.I'm having a normal birth,I'm not taking epidural and nothing you say can convince me otherwise.If I can have twins by normal birth,I can have one baby by normal birth.Please,don't stress.Get your work for today done so that I can have your full attention for the next couple days."

Ridwaan wanted to argue but he saw the look of determination on her face so he nodded his head,"Okay.Do you want something to drink or eat?"

"I want water please."

"Sure."

He brought her a glass of water,she took it from him as he walked away.Farzana kept on reciting durood under her breath as she paced around the office.She continued doing that as the timing between her contractions decreased and the pain kept on increasing.When there were only fifteen minutes between her contractions,she walked to Ridwaan's table.

"Are you done?"

He nodded his head as he stood up,"Nam,I'm done."

"Let's go to the hospital,my contractions are only fifteen minutes apart."

Ridwaan nodded his head as he dialed a number on his phone,"Bring the car to the underground parking.We need to go."

"Nam,sayed."

"Let's go." He put his phone in his back pocket as Farzana held his arm,and they walked out.They took the elevator and reached the underground parking,where they found the car and they got in.

"Ya Allah." She whispered,laying her head back to rest against the headrest as Ridwaan rubbed her back.

"You should have said yes for the epidural.You are in so much pain." Ridwaan's voice,coated with agony at her own pain.
