Mistress of His Heart : Part Twenty-Three

Thanks to all for voting and commenting on the previous part.

Is this our house or a recreational center?

Abhishek wonders as he watched Pragya, Purab and Disha watched TV. Disha lived there and now Purab also practically lived there with daily visits. Abhishek mentally sighs. It's not that he disliked them, it is that they were monopolizing his wife's time. he felt like he had to get in line to get her attention now.

Pragya takes his hand in hers and smiles at him. Abhishek smiles at her.

Pragya leans on his shoulder and resting her head on his arms, she watches the TV.

Pragya yawns as she snuggles to him. "I'm feeling sleepy." Pragya tells him.

"Let's sleep then." Abhishek tells her.

"Don't you want to watch this?" Pragya asks curiously.

"You made me sit here." Abhishek reminds her.

"Because I wanted to sit with you."

Abhishek smiles hearing that.

"And it is a nice movie."

Abhishek makes a face.

"Why you don't like movies?" Pragya asks confused.

"Because it's not real."

"But it is fun." Pragya tells him yawning.

Abhishek smiles. "Let's sleep?" Abhishek asks seeing her yawning.

"Are you sleepy?"

"No. it's early."

"I'm feeling very sleepy." Pragya tells him and leaning up, she whispers to him. "I think it is the baby."

"You need rest." Abhishek tells her lovingly.

"What about Purab?" Pragya asks, as he was their guest.

"Disha is here." Abhishek brushes it off.

Pragya smiles, how much ever he tried to deny it, he was starting to see Disha as a part of their family.

********

About 7 weeks after their wedding, Abhishek and Pragya informed everyone that Pragya was 6 weeks pregnant.

Hearing the doorbell, Disha jumps up. "You sit, I'll check." Disha tells her and runs to the door.

Pragya turns to look at Abhishek who had come out of their room hearing the bell. They both chuckle, Disha has been treating her like a doll since she informed her about the pregnancy.

"I'm pregnant, not sick." Pragya tells her.

"Yes, but you should take proper and complete care." Disha tells her as she opened the door.

Raghuveer and Sarala smiles at her.

"Pragya has been waiting since afternoon." Disha informs them as she walked with them to Pragya.

"How are you?" Sarala asks Pragya as she hugged her.

Pragya hugs her mother happily, finally feeling relieved about getting to share with her parents about their baby.

"I'm fine, Ma. Disha is not letting me move only."

Sarala chuckles. "You should move around as much as possible."

"I've been telling her that." Pragya tells her.

"What if she faints? What if she slips?" Disha asks worriedly.
