Shehnaaz and Sidharth had resolved their misunderstandings and had become friends. It was now Shehnaaz's fifth month of pregnancy. Everything was smooth between Shehnaaz and Sidharth. He was taking good care of her. He used to come back from the office early so that he could spend some time with Shehnaaz in the evening. Shehnaaz also enjoyed his company. She loved being around him. Every evening, Shehnaaz eagerly awaited for Sidharth to come back home from the office. He had tried to modify his schedule such that both of them could have their breakfast and dinner together whenever possible. After their dinner, they used to sit on the balcony as it was Shehnaaz's favourite spot in the entire apartment.
This was the place for their endless conversations and chit-chats. The cold Chicago weather and a cup of hot chocolate were things that helped to create a great and comfortable bond between Shehnaaz and Sidharth.
Since it was her fifth month of pregnancy, her baby bump was pretty much visible now. Whenever Shehnaaz passed by the mirror, she used to place her hand on her baby bump and caress the baby from outside. Shehnaaz admired the pregnancy glow on her face. The feeling of having the ability to nurture a life within was beyond what words could express for her.
One such morning, Shehnaaz was standing before the mirror and was admiring herself when Sidharth entered the room from behind. He couldn't resist smiling when he saw Shehnaaz caressing her baby bump and adorning herself in the mirror.
She was embarrassed that she was caught in the action. She smiled at Sidharth and her cheeks turned red. She sat on the edge of the bed. Sidharth came into her room and sat beside her.
"You are looking beautiful, Shehnaaz, and the pregnancy has elevated your beauty to the next level," Sidharth remarked with a smile.
Shehnaaz blushed as Sidharth complimented her.
"You know, I have a feeling that I am gaining weight super fast these days," she complained innocently.
"Yeah... that's because he is growing at a rapid speed," Sidharth replied with a laugh.
"How do you know that it's a boy? I mean, how are you so sure about it?" Shehnaaz chuckled.
That's because I know it. It's definitely a boy. A boy just as handsome as me, " He commented confidently.
"Now, I definitely want the baby to be a girl. I don't want another Mr. Arrogant Shukla in the house. And girls are adorable anyway, " Shehnaaz countered in a challenging tone.
Sidharth passed on a smile while listening to Shehnaaz .
"Yeah.. they are. but quite emotional too. However, I don't care if it's a boy or a girl. My life will revolve around my baby, whether it's a boy or a girl. And I would love him or her the same way. Also, if the baby is a girl, I would want her to be as adorable as you, "he blurted out.
