"Say hello to our love."

These words kept ringing in Raghav's ears. He kept looking at Nithya's eyes, not able to understand what she just said. Tears started falling down from their eyes and Raghav's throat went dry.

"Is this true, Nithya?" Raghav finally broke the silence.

"Yes Raghav! Our baby is here." Nithya replied sniffing her tears.

Raghav took her hand to his lips and kissed it. Nithya wiped his tears and wiped hers too.

"I ... I don't know what to say... My hands are shivering." He said with a chuckle.

"I know Raghav. I felt the same when I found out first."

"How did you find it? And how did you hide it from me?"

"I missed my periods... I didn't care about it much. But since last week, I have been having food cravings, especially chocolate cravings. After you slept, I went to the kitchen every night and I ate the chocolates. For the past two days, I was feeling tired for no reason. I'll be completely drained the moment I reach the hospital. I had the slightest doubt that I would be pregnant. This morning when I vomited, my doubt became strong... But you asked me to stay home and prohibited me from going to the hospital. So, I lied to Athai that I had an emergency case to attend to and went to the hospital. I got an appointment from the gynecologist and took a scan. Our baby is six weeks old now." Nithya told him everything.

"You're seeing the happiest man alive, Nithya." Raghav said and kissed her forehead.

"But, why didn't you tell anyone about your gynecologist visit?" He asked her.

"I didn't want you or Athai to build hopes until I was cent percent sure. As a fellow doctor, I have witnessed many people who come with hopes to the hospital and go back disappointed. I didn't want to give you that." She said leaning on his shoulder.

"That's true... Even if you had given me a little hint, I would have built a paradise in my mind." He chuckled.

"I know about you... Now you can happily build a paradise for our baby." She smiled and told him.

"But... Why did you decide to reveal the news here?" He asked her curiously.

"Mandu! This is where you proposed to me na... So I decided to reveal this happy news here. And I wanted you to feel the suspense and surprise just like the way I felt that night" Nithya said and hit his head playfully.

"Sorry medico. Sorry to my little medico too." He apologized cutely as he held his ears. 

"It can be a mini techie too." She winked.

"Hehe. Let's go home, amma must be waiting for us. Actually I kinda shouted at her for letting you go to the hospital. We have to reveal this surprise and calm her. You call your parents and ask them to come home." Raghav said Nithya took her mobile to call her mom.

"Hello ma.. What are you doing?" Nithya asked her mom as soon as she attended the call.

"I'm watching TV Nithya. Why?" Tharani asked back at Nithya's strange question.

"Can you come home now?"

"Why di? Yesterday only we both came there..."

"That.. I have tried a new dish today. I want you and appa to taste it. So don't waste time and come here immediately." Nithya lied to her mom, but Raghav was trying hard to control his laughter.

"What? Okay we'll come." Tharani ended the call confused.

"That was a good one." Raghav laughed aloud.
