" Where is Omi hiding? Where is she?" Maryam said loudly searching for Omaira in the whole room.

Suddenly, she noticed a tiny leg that was peeping under the bed. An affectionate smile appeared on Maryam's face seeing Omaira's tiny leg.

"Omi....Where..are.....you?....Yay...Gotcha," Maryam yelled crouching down.

Omaira giggled when Maryam pulled her out and picked her up. Her giggling got louder feeling Maryam's kisses all over her spongy cheeks.

Omaira asked pouting," How did you find me?"

" Mamma always knows where her kitten is hiding," Maryam answered kissing Omaira's adorable pout.

Then, she said touching Omaira's nose playfully," Look what you have done to your dress? There is dirt all over your dress. Let's bath you and put a clean dress on you."

Saying all these Maryam took Omaira to the shower to give her a nice bath. Filling the bathtub with slightly warm water Maryam added baby shower gel. Placing Omaira in the tub she started cleaning her tiny body.

Six months passed just in the blink of an eye and nothing changed between Yardan & Maryam. But, with passing time Maryam got used to his cold behaviour though she still wants him to change for good.

Maryam was still cleaning Omaira's body when she started feeling nausea. She couldn't control herself anymore and ran outside. Entering another washroom she threw up whatever she ate in the morning. Cleaning her mouth Maryam looked at the mirror and noticed some changes in her.

Maryam looked carefully at her reflection and noticed that she has gained quite an amount of weight. All the time she just feels hungry and tired. The more she eats the more she throws up. Not only all these but also she felt that without any reason she gets upset and sometimes her mood becomes Jolly. Most importantly, she has missed her period for the last three months. She didn't pay that much attention to this matter since she gets irregular periods. Not for a single time, she thought that she might be pregnant.

Pulling her dress upwards Maryam looked at her belly and noticed that it has bloated out. She thought that it was just fat due to eating so much food.

" I am getting fat. I have to work out," Maryam thought mentally and returned to the place where she was before.

It was 8:30 p.m. and Maryam was with the kids. She was helping Yamir with his homework holding Omaira in her embrace. Omaira was sleepy and Maryam was rocking her slightly. Yardan hasn't returned from the office.

" Sum 2 and 8. Then te..........." Maryam couldn't finish her sentence when she ran into the washroom.

After throwing up for the 5th time in the whole day Maryam was irritated about all these. She came out of the washroom having an annoyed expression when a maid noticed her. The maid has been noticing Maryam closely and she already guessed.

" Mam, if you don't mind may I say something?" The maid asked for permission.

Maryam nodded her head when she said," Mam, I think you are pregnant."

Maryam blinked her eyes trying to understand the maid's words while the maid said," I mean I have been noticing you lately. All the symptoms are indicating that you are pregnant. I think you should check with a pregnancy kit."

" I am pregnant!! I don't think so. Maybe I am suffering from any stomach related disease," Maryam answered though she was confused.

The maid insisted," Still, Mam. I think you should check with a pregnancy kit."
