"It's a boy", said the doctor which disappointed him a little as he was expecting a girl but after normal delivery and after seeing Anika in so much pain he is happy to see his baby fine. The nurse cleaned the baby and gave him after bathing him. Shivaay wanted to say that he brought a dress but his voice died in his throat so he pointed toward the dress and the nurse helped Shivaay to make the baby wear the dress and then left from there.

He never thought he will experience the feeling of a father ever, today he is feeling so magical and proud that he married Anika. His Anika who was strong had a normal delivery which took 2 hours. Sometimes it takes many more hours but Shivaay's support and his words gave her the courage and strength to bear the pain for her child.

Shivaay kissed the baby's forehead and hugged him softly "I love you my baby", Shivaay said with tears. He is feeling on top of the world seeing his baby and especially his eyes which are the same as him. He then looked towards Anika who is unconscious, her pain came into his mind, how she was crying and his eyes welled with tears. How can he be the reason for her pain? Taking a long breath he came out of the ward and gave his son to Om who was also tensed, his whole family was waiting for him and Anika.

"It's a boy. An... Anika is unconscious", Shivaay said and hugged Rudra as Om is holding his child. Rudra understood that Shivaay is happy and emotional so he rubbed his hand on Shivaay's back first and then thought something to make him laugh

"More than baby you are crying bhaiya", Rudra said. Shivaay broke the hug and slapped Rudra on his shoulder. Rudra again pointed toward the baby to tease Shivaay, Shivaay passed a sarcastic smile towards him and went to take blessings from his family members.

"Your son is just like you. I wish he turn out to be like his father", said dadi and caressed Shivaay's cheek softly but rather than love Shivaay felt something else. Is it a taunt? Did she say the same to Shakti when he was born? Are they trying to say every son is a replica of his father? Shivaay started to think about this, only a few things changed otherwise their married life is a little the same as his parents. What if the same things happened as their baby is just born?

"Yes, Shivaay he is looking like your carbon copy. Even you were the same. I am feeling like I'm holding your mini version", said Janvi while smiling as she felt so happy to pick up the baby in her arms, after so long. For her also Shivaay's baby is looking the same as him and she wants him to turn out to be like Shivaay who is a very nice person, she knows Tej doesn't trust him but she does. She knows Shivaay can never turn out to be like Shakti, she has seen Anika's happy face all the time and Shivaay's immense respect for Anika. In these 24 years she never felt respected by Tej, she knows Tej is proud and an egoist person who wants everyone to bend in front of him and that nobody should win over him. She then remembered that they are not allowed to stand there for a long time and Anika will come thereafter discharged so she decided to let Shivaay stay with Anika as at this time a wife needs a husband a lot.

"Ok, so we are leaving and will send something to eat. Only one person is allowed to stay with the patient and only you hold that right", said Janvi and soon family left leaving Shivaay alone with his baby. His "Ansh". He entered the ward and placed the baby in the crib softly as the baby slept within some time. He went towards unconscious Anika and held her hand

"See Anika. Our baby is so cute. Wake up please because I want to talk with you. You waited for a long time to see him", Shivaay said and layed beside her. He hugged her for a while but got up after hearing the cries of his baby. He ran towards him and started to make his child happy. He started to tell him how much he waited for him, when Shivaay talked with him, Ansh smiled which took his heart, he felt very special at that moment. He felt the reason to come into his life got fulfilled.

Anika opened her eyes and noticed Shivaay talking with their baby now. She kept adoring him as she don't know what she have done in past to get a person like him. If not for his support then she left the hope that she will be alive today. That pain was unbearable but the result is priceless and precious. For her both her husband and baby are precious.

"See Anika his eyes are like mine. Our baby", Shivaay said and came towards her holding the baby. He helped Anika to sit comfortably and placed the baby on her lap. Anika caressed the head of her baby with tears and hugged Shivaay tightly

"I can't believe this is true Shivaay. Thank you", Anika said with tears

"I love you ", Shivaay said and kissed Anika, he is so happy that he can't describe anything. He doesn't know how to tell her how grateful he is to get Anika as his wife and to be called a father. He also can't believe that he is a father now. He was waiting for Anika to wake up for the past 2 hours. Everyone in the family was happy to see the baby but Shivaay was waiting for his wife to wake up and was getting tense seeing her unconscious.

"Patidev have some shame. Our child is watching us", Anika said and placed her head on his chest. She is still weak and very tired, all her energy is drained out because of the efforts she put into pushing the baby.

"It's better to see love rather than fights. And this normal as compared with how he came", said Shivaay. Anika blushed hard and slapped Shivaay lightly on his chest and asked him to pick the baby from her hands as her hands were trembling and she feared what if the baby falls from her hand?

"I am so happy", Anika said and placed her head on Shivaay's shoulder while staring baby. She is feeling too weak to move her hand and stand even but she has to. After some time she got up from bed, Shivaay looked at her when she was trying to stand up and asked her to wait for a while. He placed the baby back in the crib and went towards Anika, he asked Anika to take his help. Anika nodded and encircled one arm around his waist, she felt happy to see her man standing beside her. This is what she needed from life, she doesn't have many expectations from life. These small gestures and her husband's support during this time are enough, she won't know what she should have done if Shivaay was not here.

The feeling of being a mother gives is very precious and her husband's support gives her strength. She knows how she feels emptiness if he is not there because their souls are connected. They not only share a life but also their souls. Shivaay noticed Anika looking at him and understood that she is thinking something deep related to him, that's the reason she is not even moving

"Come", Shivaay said and helped Anika to move towards the washroom and then after some time, he helped Anika to come back. Anika sat on the bed and made space for him to sit, she don't want him to sit far just because it is a single bed.

"Can you give me our baby", Anika asked. Shivaay nodded and went to pick Ansh, after picking him he came back slowly fearing what if Ansh slipped from his hand.

"This is our baby and I am your baby", Shivaay said and winked. He placed the baby on Anika's lap and held Anika's shoulder. He is happy that he can hug Anika anytime without any fear now.

"But I love mini Shivaay more", Anika said and hugged Ansh close to her heart. She closed her eyes feeling her baby, she felt herself as a mother and consider her baby a blessing. A gift from God.

"And mini Shivaay loves me more see he started to cry. He is saying you are wrong", Shivaay said as Ansh started to cry. Anika chuckled as she knows the baby is just hungry that's why he is cranky.

"He is hungry Shivaay", Anika said

"And you? Janvi mom said she will send someone so our food will also arrive", Shivaay said to which Anika nodded. She asked him to look aside till she feeds him but Shivaay again teased her saying "I saw everything". This made her blush and she feed Ansh after making him sleep she noticed the baby slept again. She stayed in the same position for some time till Rudra knocked on the door and told them that he is here with their food.
