Month 1 ~

"Abhiiiiii, Abhiiiiii" Akshu squealed with excitement as she entered her room again, from the bathroom, after getting the best news of her life.

"Kya ho gaya baba, itni excited kyu ho ??" He asked walking towards her.

"Abhi, hum Pregnant hai!! I will finally get my chhota Abhi!" She exclaimed, doing her own little happy dance.

"I knew it-" He blurted out "I mean, I am going to be a dad and I know it's a girl!" He said, covering up but then showing the same energy as her.

"Let me tell this to everyone." She said and without seeing his response, ran out of the house.

The Birla house had lost its chime since a few days. No big mounds of happiness had struck in the recent times and everyone was sitting idle on the sofa.

"Maa, papa!" Akshu called out, running down the stairs.

"Araam se baba..." Abhi said, following her with the same pace.

Manjri was rotating a religious mala, praying for the family's happiness while Harsh was reading the daily newspaper.

"Yeh Akshu aaj achanak se itni khush kyu ho gayi ??" Manjri asked, surprised by the chirping girl.

"Dekhte hai, chalo." Harsh said and walked towards her. Everyone gathered in the hall and asked her to calm down.

"MAAA......" she huffed a little. "PAPA...." She took a few more breathes.

"Shanti se Akshu." Abhi chided.

"Maa, mai maa banungi, Abhi papa banega. Papa, aap dadu aur Maa dadi banegi! Mai pregnant hoon!" She said as her eyes glistned with very fresh tears.

"Aise kaise, abhi toh 1 mahina ho gaya hai na." Manjri looked at Harsh with questioning eyes.

"Haan toh, koi ek mahine baad koi maa nahi ban sakta ??" Harsh said with happiness in his tone.

"Voh bhi hai! Congratulations meri bachi!" Manjri held her head calmly and kissed it softly.

"Congratulations beta and thank you so much, mujhe dadu banane ke liye." He said and caressed her hair.

"I am so happy. Ab mera chhota sa Abhi aayega!" She said and everyone got emotional with the news.

"And mai is ghar mein sabse Chhota nahi rahunga, Congratulations Bhabhi !!" Neil said and hugged her, his eyes looking for someone, behind Bhabhi.

It had been a month since Birla family had shifted to LA. All the male's of the family wanted to establish their hospital branch abroad and this place was the best. Though Parth, Shefali, Anand and Mahima stayed in India, because of Shivu being too small and them wanting to take care of the branch there, Neil had come with Manjri, Harsh, Akshu and Abhi.

Month 2 ~

"Araam se beta." Manjri said as she guided Akshara out of the hospital after a routine checkup.

"Maa, comeon. I am just 2 months pregnant. Mera bump bhi nahi aaya abhi tak, haha." She joked but she genuinely did love how much everyone cared for the baby.
