Her Husband

Chapter 6

I got in the car while he leaves to get everything processed

"I hate you" nandini lets me know as soon as I sat int he car

I chuckle a little grabbing her chin making her face me, I can' help myself

"Turns me on a little darling" I whisper kissing her nose

her nose is cute like a small button, she has a very similar nose to our baby

"I don't care, you were a bad husband to me" she says

"How so love?" I ask as Ronald drives us

"My puppy" she whispers so softly

I look at her and she was sniffling a little, crying

"Shh shh why are you crying?" I asked

"My puppy" she cries

"No don't cry darling, shh ill get you a little pup, don't cry" I say pulling her to my chest

"But he was so sweet, he snuggled to me, he liked me" she says biting her lips as tears fell from the corner of her eyes

"I understand sweetheart, but you do realize that he wasn't yours, he was that kid's"

"The bad kid, he yelled at me and that means he is bad with snug too right so why wouldn't you let me keep him. You didn't even say anything to him"

"What did you want me to do?" I ask

"Tackle him, kidnap snug for me, what else would I want" she sniffles making me chuckle

"nandini darling, thats not how things work, now does it?"

"It does, I would've kidnaped him for you if you wanted"

'You would?" I ask

she bobs her head so cutely making me smile, she curls up in my arms holding my shirt in her hands as she sniffles

"What's wrong?" I ask caressing her hair

"Snug is gone" she whispers

"He isn't gone, he is with his family"

"no I am family" she says

"How about some coffee" I ask

"Is it iced?" She asked

'Yeah"

"Kay" she says looking up with curious eyes

I grabbed the coffee from the front compartment and she starts drinking it still in my chest, a feeling makes my heart feel heavy but not a bad feeling, a good, a fucking fantastic feeling

I have only had this feeling twice, once when our little baby curled up in my chest when I first held her and the second time is today when Nandini is laying her head in my chest

"Do you think we can kidnap snug, I promise to put lots of apology notes there?" She asks looking up

This is so fucking horrible, I hate that her sad eyes, the way her eyes look into mine can almost make me do anything and say to everything. I have never been this way with anyone but her

"I will even say sorry nicely" she says pouting

I smile at her, she doesn't smile back instead she pulls on my t shirt demanding an answer from me, not many have the balls to do so but she does.

"Manik pleaseee" she whines

"No darling, absolutely not, I cannot let you take a dog that isn't ours, lets focus on our baby first and once she is a bit older like a toddler and you still want a pup we can get one, is that okay?" I ask reasoning

"I suppose it's okay, can i get a puppy key chain then?" She asks making me snort a little

"Yes, yes we can get a key chain"

"Not any keychain, I want a puppy one"

"Of course, right. A puppy key chain" she nods continuing to sip on the coffee

Her leg had been bouncing up and down the whole ride and as she had started having coffee, the bouncing was getting aggressive and it was bothering me so I place my hand on her thigh causing her to stop bouncing her leg

"Im nervous" she whispers

"I can tell, what's wrong?" I ask

She sighs

"Thank god, I was losing my mind. Okay so our baby right, she must know her real mom and what if she hates me and doesn't even feel the warmth? What if i am a bad wife, a bad mom, a bad human? I can be anything but a bad human, I am so nice but you know. And it's stressful because I didn't wanna marry you, no offence but it wasn't the plan. I had a plan to run away, fall in love with a beautiful c harming hot human, not saying you aren't hot because gosh you are smoking hot but the point is I am a mother and I am not even pregnant" she rambles on

"Shh quiet"

"And then my parents, argh mom apparently knows you like you are her son and all which would be mhm weird because step siblings ewww"

"Shhhhh" I place my palm on her mouth making her pout

She licked my palm making me chuckle at her silliness, how will I even be sane when she and our baby come together, gosh

"It's not that complicated and you are fair to be never but I promise it's not as scary. our baby, she will love you and maybe the two of you will be crackheads and trouble me. I understand that everything happened at the same time but do you trust me? Do you think you will be able to"

"Yeah" she interrupts

"I didn't finish my sentence"

"Doens't matter, I know I'm so nervous but I also know that I will be fine with you because I trust you, your touch is comfortable and very familiar like I have met you before" she mumbles

She has met me before but she doesn't know yet and she doesn't need to, not yet

"Just trust me baby, eveyrhting will fall into place perfectly" I whisper kissing her head

She nods finishing up the coffee and giving me the empty cup, I placed it in the side console and hugged her closer, gosh I never though this would happen, that I would marry her, it was sort of a mhm arrow in the dark kind of a situation

"Manik"

"Yes Nandini"

"Do you have a name for the baby?"

"Mhm not really, we can pick one together" she nods

The whole ride to the hospital Nandini was having a great time blabbering with Ronald, something about crazy peach stories because her sister was allergic or maybe is allergic, I don't know

"Here we are sir" Ronald says

Nandini doesn't even say anything or listen, she jumps out and was jumping running to my side of the car

"Lets go" she yanks on my arm

Shaking my head, I start walking with her, a receptionist sat there looking at us as we walked in

"Is she okay? Should I bring a wheelchair?" The receptionist asks running to us

"What?"

"She looks like she is on drugs" she said pointing at Nandini who turned her head a little making me chuckle

"She is fine, just caffein, room 221 in the NICU" I say

"name?"

"Manik malhotra"

"Right, that way sir" she says

I walk towards the room and as soon as we got to the NICU, nandini stopped jumping around. Her eyes glued to the window looking at all the babies there making me smile, I know she is going to be an amazing mother.

"Wanaa go inside?" I ask

"Please" she whispers

I nod as I go for the door handle, walking inside I was hit with nerves right away as I saw our baby in one of the baby coat
