Two years later.......

Jhanvi's POV:-

I stared into the round mirror of the bathroom.
My hair was a mess, I was sweating and I tasted bile in my mouth. I drank some water and walked out dropping my tired body on the sofa at my office in the Old Age Home.
My eyes stung as I cried feeling uneasy and there is a dull ache in my abdomen.
I needed Aryan.
With wobbly steps I made it to the desk and grabbed my phone to call him.
He picked up after the fourth ring.
"Baby, I am in the middle of a meeting." I heard his voice and tears slipped from my eyes.
"I need you, Aryan." I cried clutching my head.
"Jhanvi, are you crying? What's wrong, baby, talk to me. Where are you? Tell me?" I heard some shuffling from his end.
"I am here at my office. Aryan, please come here. I don't know what's happening. I don't feel good." I managed to say through my hiccups.
"I am on my way, baby. Everything is fine. I'll be there in no time." He consoled me but he sounded edgy too.
God! What's wrong with me?
I again laid down on the sofa and closed my eyes, massaging my temples.
Within minutes Aryan was in front of me.
"Love, what's wrong?" He crouched down to my level and helped me to sit up. Looking at him, more tears came out involuntarily. I threw myself in his arms and cried.
"I threw up, twice since morning. And-and I have a stomach ache. I feel drowsy too."
"We need to get you to the doctor. Look at me, love, do you feel any pain in your chest? Can you breathe normally?" He asked caressing my face gently in his hold. To be sure, I took a deep breath and exhaled. I had no pain in my chest, which means my lungs are normal.
"I don't feel pain here."

"Then where does it hurt, baby?" He asked so lovingly, I couldn't managed the tears flowing down.
"It pains over here, Aryan." I took his hand in mine and placed it on my abdomen.
"Let's go." In one swift move I was in his arms. He carried me all the way from the office to the car, making me comfortable in his lap. He ordered the drive to take us to the doctor. He made me drink more water which I took eagerly because of all the sweating.
I was stuck to him all through the ride.
"Good morning, Mr. And Mrs. Malhotra." The doctor greeted us.
"Morning, doctor." He gruffly greeted back. I gave her an apologetic smile.
"My wife, is unwell." He said with a frown and the doctor just nodded at him. She asked him to wait outside as she would examine me after I told her what was happening and what I had eaten lately. Aryan cam back in but still was glaring hard at no one in particular.
"Is everything fine?" He asked sitting beside me and grasping my hand under the table.
"Everything is good Mr. Malhotra. Your wife is fine as well." She smiled looking at us.
Is this woman deranged or what?
"Your wife is pregnant, Mr. Malhotra."

"What?!" We both screeched on top of our voices frightening the poor soul.
"Uhm.... Yeah... She's pregnant. If you want we can go through the first ultrasound today itself." She said and waiting for us to reply.
We faced each other. No expression on our faces and then our heads again turned to the doctor.
"I take it it's your first time right?" I wordlessly nodded.
"Take your time, till then I'll prep up the room to do the ultrasound." She got moving after patting my back.
"Aryan." I was the first one to break the silence.
"Jhanvi." He turned to look at me.

"We're gonna have a baby." We both stated it together.

"Yes! Yes! Yes! We're gonna have our baby." His voice was just above a whisper. My own expressionless face turned into a big smile as my hand reached out and rested on my stomach. Aryan placed his palm on mine. The warmth of his skin still gave me tingles all over.
"Our baby." I said wiping away my tears.
He stood up pulling me to his chest. He laid kisses all over my sweat covered face muttering I love you multiple times.
"I think we should go."
