MOMMA BY CHOICE

Chapter 12

So, let's get started...

Later that night, everyone was sleeping peacefully... It's 4 in the morning when Veer decides to wake Meera and Vihan with loud crying sounds. Vihan wakes with a jump, placing his hand on his heart as if startled by the noise. Meanwhile, Meera hears Veer's cries from her room, which is near Vihan's. With fast steps, she hurries to their room. In the room, Vihan is holding Veer close, walking around as the little boy sobs quietly in his chest.

Meera enters the room to see such an adorable scene: messy hair, sleepy eyes, Vihan is gently rocking Veer back and forth. She hears Vihan's deep, husky voice as he speaks softly to Veer, "What's wrong, my baby? Hmm... Why are you crying, my little one? Do you feel hungry, Veer? Dadda will get your bottle now... You'll drink your milk, my sweet boy," he says, his voice hushed and comforting.

Meera takes a tentative step towards them. As Vihan and Veer notice her, Veer smiles with teary eyes at her, and she feels overwhelmed by the love this little boy shows for her. She hurriedly moves towards Veer and places a soft kiss on his cheeks. He whimpers softly and she soothingly rubs his back. Meera tells Vihan that she will make his bottle and brings it to him. Vihan nods, understanding what she means.

Within ten minutes, Meera re-enters Vihan's room to see him talking to Veer in whispers, and Veer responding with baby babble, which looks so cute. Meera hands over the bottle to Vihan, who takes it and offers it to Veer's mouth. But Veer is looking towards Meera, wanting to be with her. Vihan understands and gestures for her to take him. Meera complies, taking Veer in her embrace and taking the bottle from Vihan's hand. She looks around the room, searching for a place to sit so she could feed Veer.

Vihan nods to the bed, but she softly shakes her head, saying, "Vihan ji, it's okay... I'll sit on the chair." Vihan's voice is gentle as he insists, "Meera, sit on the bed comfortably. Go on." Hesitantly, she obeys, sitting on the side where Veer's bed is attached. Vihan sits on his side, watching them both as Meera leans against the bedrest and makes Veer lay on her lap, attaching the bottle to his mouth.

Veer hurriedly latches on, holding her kurti from the neck like a baby does to his mother. Vihan's eyes get teary seeing Veer seeking warmth in Meera, and he quickly wipes them away, leaning back on the bedrest and closing his eyes.

Meera settles comfortably on the side of the bed, holding Veer on her lap as he finishes his bottle. Veer looks towards Vihan and Meera and notices they're both sleeping. He starts crying loudly, startling Meera awake and Vihan too, who smiles sleepily at Veer. Veer places his head on Meera's bosoms and smiles towards Vihan, then gestures for him to come closer. Vihan moves towards them and places a kiss on Veer's cheek.

Meera's breath hitches at the proximity, but she breathes without reacting. Vihan chuckles but then places his head on her shoulder, startling her further.

Vihan starts patting Veer's back, and both father and son duo drift back to sleep. Meera tries to unlatch Veer, but he whines loudly in his sleep, stopping her movement. Vihan opens his eyes, chuckling softly at her halted movements,

"Meera, Veer won't let you move, even in his sleep, the way he is latched on you. So, you better rest here—it's already 5:00 AM." He covers her and Veer with a quilt and leans back on the bedrest, closing his eyes again.

Meera doesn't know what to do, so after few minutes of contemplating, she decides to just rest here. She leans slightly against the bedrest, which stirs Veer. His hold on her tightens, as if he's afraid she'll run away. She shakes her head in smile at his movements and places him back on her bosoms, covering both of them with the duvet. Veer snuggles closer, and she closes her eyes. Vihan watches her movements with a soft smile, leaning his head on her shoulder and closing his eyes as well. Meera notices his movements, but in a sleepy haze, she doesn't react, holding Veer tightly in her embrace and falling asleep with him.

In between sleep, Vihan wraps his arm around Meera's waist and further snuggles into her.

Eventually, his movements lead his head to rest on her chest, just like Veer's. Both father and son's heads are now on her chest, and their weights are a lot for poor Meera to handle.

Morning Time...

The trio are snuggling into each other, and just as the rays of light peek through the curtains, Vihan's mother enters his room to check on Veer. She is surprised by the scene in front of her eyes—Meera is laying on the corner of the bed with Veer in her embrace, leaving almost all space on the bed. Vihan is also snuggled into her chest, his head resting just below Veer's, almost mimicking his position. "Damn these father-son," she thinks with a smile.

She watches closely, nodding her head in assurance that in the night, Meera must have come due to Veer's cries and slept unknowingly here. But she's unable to fully understand Vihan's mindset, how he went from distant Vihan to cuddly vihan. Noticing Veer in his sleep, sucking on Vihan's nose near his eyes, she chuckles softly. Deciding to exit their small bubble, she closes the door gently and walks down the stairs, leaving the trio in their morning snuggle.

After a while, Meera tries to turn but feels the weight on her which halts her movements in sleep. She slowly opens her eyes, gasping loudly when she sees Vihan and Veer snuggled against her—both father and son, their heads resting on her chest. Veer starts sucking at her swells, visible through her cotton suit, while Vihan lays on her other bosom, giving him more space to lean into her. His body weight causes her to further sink into the bed.

Her eyes widen, and despite trying to move from under them, she doesn't know how she's stuck in this situation. She tries to shake Vihan awake, but instead, he pushes his face deeper into her cleavage with a sigh. "Vihan ji, wake up," she calls softly, but he replies in his sleep, "Mumma... let me sleep, please."

Meera looks at him in disbelief, trying to shake him again, which only makes him groggily open his eyes. He looks surprised for a moment, but instead of moving away, he tangles his legs with hers and wraps them both in the duvet.

"Sleep, Meera," he says, "and let me sleep too."

Meera tries to sit up despite his statement, but he holds her waist tightly and pushes his face deeper into her, causing her to hiss in pain. "Meera, I'm asking nicely," he says again, "just let me sleep for some more, I am fuckin exhausted, please."

Concerned, she replies "Then go to sleep, the bed's empty"

"No I am cozy here, thanks," he interrupts, irritation edging his voice. "Now stop arguing and sleep."

He pulls her closer and again buries his face in her bosoms, breathing deeply as he starts caressing Veer's back. Meera rolls her eyes towards the ceiling and mutters, "What has happened to this man today."

Vihan hears her, but doesn't respond, just shuts his eyes and drifts to sleep. Seeing both father and son sleeping peacefully on her, she gives in, shutting her eyes to try to sleep as well. But the sleep eludes her, and she grows increasingly frustrated. She starts to hum softly, and both Vihan and Veer nuzzle closer into her chest. Meera stops her humming, sighing as she watches them, then starts to caress their hair gently.

Both relax further at her touch, their weight on her increasing. She smiles softly, eventually falling asleep in that position, surrounded by their warmth and contentment.
