After lot of brain storming and trying to analyse every doubt she had, Anu finally decided to speak with Anuj on the topic.

On the other side, Anuj was on the verge of giving up the hopes, as he hadn't heard from Anu and it had been almost a month they had visited Dr.Advait and started the discussion.

One fine evening, it was drizzling and the environment was cool and pleasant. The normal soaring temperatures due to hot summer in Ahmedabad had fallen a bit due to continuous drizzle since past 4 to 5 days.

Anuj had skipped office and was working from home. He had just completed the project he had bagged for his friend's business as his partner. He was trying to wrap up the final formalities with the project so he could hand it over to his friend and concentrate completely on his position as the CEO of the Kapadia Empire.

He had promised Mukku, that once he has proved himself and fulfilled his promise to Anu, the promise to be the most successful THE ANUJ KAPADIA once again, he would rejoin the KAPADIA Empire.

Mukku was on a business trip to Mumbai and GK had gone to Dwarika. #Maan were all alone at home. Realising that Anuj is in a relaxed mood, Anu decided to walk up to him and speak with him.

With a cup of tea in a tray, Anu walked towards Anuj. He was about to close his file and keep it aside as he was almost done for the day Noticing Anu walking towards him, he raised his head and saw her and a sweet smile flashed on his face, as usual.

Anu sat besides him, offered him tea and looked at him. They exchanged a deep eyelock. He gestured if she wanted to say something.

With a blush and pink cheeks, she shared her heart out and with tears in her eyes, she revealed all that had happened with her during her earlier 3 pregnancies. Once she had vented out, she wiped her tears off and stood up and went closer to Anuj.

He held her with one arm and she rested her head on his shoulder. After few moments, she slowly lifted her head and looking into his eyes, asked him if he is ready to start a family with her.

Anuj was dumbstruck. He couldn't believe his ears. It took him few seconds to realise the situation and tears of joy started rolling down his cheeks. It was hard for him to believe that his dream to be a father has been accepted by Anu and together they can fulfill it. He was happy, over joyed, super excited and overwhelmed.

After few minutes, when they had calmed down, Anuj decided to speak with Anu once again, before coming to any decision. He once again discussed the topic in details and also shared the option of surrogacy and even adoption, taking into consideration every fact and consequence.

However Anu was determined to fulfil his wish. She did mention that she knew how much Anuj loved her. She was sure that Anuj would treat her like a Princess or Queen during these months and she wanted to enjoy every bit of motherhood and this journey with Anuj.

On a lighter note, she did mention that she would not allow Anuj to rest for these 9 months and that he would have to be on his toes to pamper her. Anuj readily agreed. As of now, they were the happiest couple in the universe, both trying to complete each other and fulfill their dreams along with their partners' dreams.

Almost 3 months passed by and it was Janmashtami day. As per the family tradition, Anuj, Anu, Mukku and GK kaka were busy with the preparations of the Janmashtami celebrations. The entire day passed by and it was evening.

They had invited the Shah's over for the celebrations. Also it was Anuj' s birthday. So the Kapadia's had a reason for double celebrations.

The rituals were being performed, dance and songs were being enjoyed and the pooja was being performed with great pomp as it was the first Janmashtami celebration of #MaAn after their marriage.

Since past few days, Anu was not keeping well, she was feeling weak, every morning she would feel nauseous and was not able to eat properly. Even today while preparing special dishes for midnight puja rituals, she was feeling too exhausted.

Exactly after midnight, when the Janmashtami celebrations were going on, Anu felt dizzy and she fainted. Anuj was scared. However, he remained calm and carried Anu in his arms to their bedroom and laid her on the bed.

In the meantime, GK Kaka had informed doctor to visit their house on emergency basis. The doctor arrived and looking at the crowd surrounding Anu, asked everyone to leave except Anuj. She asked Anuj to stay while she would examine Anu.

Upon examination, a smile appeared on doctor's face. She did ask if Anu was eating well and looking after her health. Anuj did mention the issues she had since past few days.

The doctor smiled and congratulated Anuj with the greatest news of his life : Anu was pregnant. I mean MaAn were pregnant.

By now even Anu had gained consciousness and was hearing the conversation. She blushed and then looked at Anuj with tears in her eyes. Anuj was so overwhelmed that he couldn't speak a word and tears just rolled down his cheeks.

What day would have been better than his birthday for such a wonderful news. The doctor gave some instructions and advise and left.

Now it was only the two of them in the room and Anuj could not resist but hug his Anu and thanked her for this beautiful news. He instructed her to be on the bed and not to walk or get out of the bed at all. Anu could do nothing, just lay there and admire his excitement and his love for her.

Now everyone came rushing in their room and started to congratulate the couple. A little later everyone left as it was already late and they had to reach their homes.

Anuj and Anu couldn't sleep due to happiness and excitement. Anuj was on cloud 9 and was so elated. Anu was feeling happy seeing Anuj's excitement. Although she had gone through this phase thrice earlier, this heavenly experience and the excitement and joy on the face of the father to be, she was witnessing it for the first time. She wanted to create memories and cherish every moment of this journey to be a mother, along with her Anuj, the love of her life.

It is said that a mother carries the baby in her womb for 9 months, but the father carries the mother and the baby in his mind for 9 months. He is worried about 2 lives ; one the baby and second his life, his love, his wife.
