Nithya was nearing her due date. Raghav had accompanied her to the hospital for the scan. She had already taken her maternity leave and stayed home. They had a simple baby shower function with their close relatives, as they didn't want to have a crowd which would suffocate her. The other main reason was to protect them from evil eyes.

After consulting with the doctor about the baby's health, they both had to stay back to collect the scan reports. The baby was healthy and the doctor had suggested Nithya to note down the baby's movements carefully, as she can get pain anytime.

It was taking more time than expected to collect the reports and Nithya was very tired .

"Nithya... Why don't you go and meet your friends here? This is taking a long time and instead of sitting here simply, you can at least have a chat with them right?" Raghav suggested her.

"Hey that's a great idea! How did it not occur to me?" She asked as she hit her forehead.

"You know these thoughts will occur only to brainies like me." He replied with a smirk.

"Ohhh! You are saying that to me huh?" Nithya glared at him and he grinned.

"Don't waste time here. Go and meet your friends." He said and kissed her temple with a smile.

Nithya got into the lift and reached the third floor, to meet her fellow doctors.

"Hey Nithya!!!" One of her friends screamed aloud as she spotted her entering the department.

"Hey guys! How are you all doing?" Nithya asked as she walked towards them slowly.

"We are doing great, Nithya! How are you? How is your little one doing?"

"We both are also fine. Came here for my check-up. Thought of meeting you all." She smiled and sat on the chair.

"When is your due date?"

"In two weeks. But I feel she would pop out anytime before that." She giggled.

"She? How are you so sure?"

"Some instincts... With the way Raghav is taking care of me and the baby, I am cent percent sure that it's a girl. He is fine with a boy too... But.."

"That's great, Nithya." Her friend smiled and they all chatted for some more time.

Raghav called Nithya and informed that he had collected the reports. She asked him to wait near the car park.

"Okay guys! I'm getting late. We'll meet another day leisurely." She said and hugged her friends.

"Nithya..." One of her friends called her name slowly.

"Haan?"

"We heard something... Is that true?"

"How can I know what you have heard? Tell me... If I know about it, I'll tell you whether it's true or not." She grinned wide.

"Did your... Your husband has resigned from his job?" She completed and Nithya's smile dropped.

"We thought it was a rumor..."

"Yes. He resigned from his job." She told them in a stern voice.

"WHAT??"

"What's wrong with that?" She frowned.

"You're pregnant... You're on leave now... How can you..." Her friend stammered a bit.

"I said he resigned from his job. But I didn't say that he is JOBLESS." Nithya spoke angrily and took out her mobile and showed it to her friends.

"Look at this. He is a writer now and we are expecting his book launch by next month!" Nithya informed them and their faces went pale.
