The next day...

Nasir: "Hey! Are you ok?"

Jafar: "Yeah, What's up?"
We shook each other's hands as we stood outside Nuriya's room in the hospital. The doctors successfully operated on her and it's a boy! We were all so happy with the news but no one was more happier than me, I have a son.

The doctors placed him in the NICU ( neonatal intensive care unit) for observations, even though he looked so healthy. Nuriya still hasn't regained consciousness, she needed all the rest she could get. Maria is at home, she couldn't come because she has been feeling uneasy since yesterday, both Aisha and Inna are with her.

Nasir: "I'm good, did you go home at all?"

Jafar: "Yeah I went home this morning to change" he shook his head in disappointment

Nasir: "You need to sleep man, I'll take it from here"

Jafar: "Man, I can't sleep. I'm not sleepy at all, I just want Nuriya to wake up first"

Nasir: "You care so much for her" I chuckled,
"it's as if you cared more about her than your own wife" I laughed,

Jafar: "And why would you say that? You know I love Maria "

Nasir: "Yeah still.."

Aminu: "Hey guys!" we both shook his hand and he chuckled
"Someone's in a good mood"

Jafar: "I have to bro, we all are. I believe the worst is over"

Aminu: "By God's grace, they're both out of danger now"

Jafar: "Can we see her now? "

Aminu: "Sure, I heard she is awake now"
With that, we all went inside. She laid flat on the bed, she was wearing a white gown and a dark pink cap with a bow on her head, she was busy talking to the nurse beside her, they both turned to us once we entered the room.

Nasir: "Hello!"

Nuriya: "Hi"
Her face lit up as she soon as she saw us, I'm so happy she is doing great. She looked at me with a smile on her face

Jafar: "How are you doing?"

Nuriya: "I'm fine, how is my baby? Where is she?" I chuckled

Jafar: "Your baby is fine, he is under observation for a few days"

Nuriya: "Are you sure she's alright? I want to see her"

Jafar: "Just get better soon and we'll go see him"
I said with a smirk on my face, she looked confused at first but her eyes widened as reality dawned on her and I laughed

Nuriya: "A.. A boy!"

Aminu: "Your son is very cute I must say"

Nasir: "He looks like me!" he added, making Nuriya laugh

Nuriya: "Doctor are you sure it's a boy?" she said in a low tone and I pitied her a little

Aminu: " Yes, I did the operation myself. Is there a problem with having a boy?"

Nuriya: "Not really" I chucked and Nuriya glared at me, I winked at her.

Jafar: "What do you want to eat? You must be hungry"

Aminu: "Whatever it is, it must be light food for now."

Jafar: "Ok Doc."

Aminu: "I'll leave you guys now, get well soon Nuriya" he left and I followed him to his office. Before we left, I heard Nuriya asked Nasir
