Shubman's POV:
                                 It's been three days since we returned from our England tour. Ishan's wedding is in next few weeks. We were all busy in shopping and preparations. I've been observing Isha from the day we returned, she was feeling tired always. Today when we went for shopping when she was trying some outfits she was feeling headache and little dizzy. I know she didn't said it though. Right now we were sleeping and as I turned I found Isha wasn't in bed, I looked at the clock it was 3:00am. I heard her weeping from bathroom. I rushed there, "Isha, darling You okay??? What's wrong??" I asked as I knocked on the door, there was no answer so I opened the door slowly and Isha gestured to come in, I went to her side, she washed her face, her eyes were red, and her head was spinning she said. "Baby?? You had vomit??" I asked, she nodded, "it's second time tonight" she said. I was hell worried for her. I held her by her shoulders and brought her out and helped her laying on bed. I caressed her tummy and head and she fell asleep fast. I know she don't eat junk food. Soon in the morning when I woke up I saw her sleeping beside me. I touched her forehead and she had fever. I went down after I got freshen up. I closed the door behind and didn't opened the curtains so that she can sleep. I knew she didn't had good sleep last night. I went down and met everyone on the table. "Good morning everyone" I said as they wished me the same. "Puttar Isha kithe hai" asked mom. "Mom, wo Isha is sleeping, actually I've been noticing she is always tired from last 3-4 days, and last night she vomited twice and had very sharp headache. Even right now she is having fever, so I let her sleep" I told mom and everyone. "Haye rabba, ae ki ho gya sadi kudi nu" said dadi. "Shub, take good care of her and let her rest" said bhabhi. "Shub,  book an appointment with the doctor and take her there, I don't think we should ignore the health problems" said bhai and I nodded. Bhabhi gave me the breakfast and I had it. I booked an appointment with doctor. Bhabhi served the breakfast for Isha and I took it to our room, followed by bhai, bhabhi, mom and Ishan. We went in and saw she was up but lying there lazily. "Ish, love how you feeling now??" I asked. "Shub, I'm feeling cold actually and I'm feeling like I'll fall if I'll get up I'm still having a strong headache" she said. Bhai checked her temperature placing his hand on her forehead. "You had any junk food sweetie??" Bhai asked. She gestured no to us. "Koi na puttar tu aaram kar" said mom placing a kiss on her head. "Exactly, tu pura din yahan se Wahan or wahan se yahan bhagti rehti hai na?? See ab ho gyi na Bimar!! Kitni baar bola tumhe, be patient baby, it's okay sab ho jayega jyada stress mat le. Lekin nhi, Tum pe koi Assar hota hi nhi hai. Anyways Shub booked the appointment so you need to go for a checkup, here have this breakfast and take rest till then" said bhabhi almost scolding her but as usual my baby pulled her puppy eyes and bhabhi melted and hugged her and kissed her head with lots of love.  Soon she was ready and I took her to the doctor, she checked her and told us to run some tests on her. We had her blood test and ultrasound test. Soon again we were sitting in doctor's cabin and Isha was hell worried. She actually never liked the hospital environment. I held her hand, "Shub, aapko kya lagta hai?? Itne sare test kyu kiye hai doctors ne?" She asked me softly. I comforted her and smiled. Soon the doctor came in and smiled at us. "Doctor, all okay?? I mean what happened to her?? Is there any problem??" I asked and doctor said, "there's no problem Mr. Gill, she is doing fine" I heard doctor and relived little. "but there's a little bit new information for you two. It's been one and half month, she is pregnant" doctor smiled. I looked at Isha with happiness in my eyes, and she was blushing looking at me. She held my hand and I too. We then took all the information from doctor and left the hospital. I brought the medication doctor prescribed. I was beyond happy. As we sat in the car, I kissed Isha first, "baby, you want it naa?? I mean are you ready for the baby??" I asked her. She blushed and looked down nodding her head in yes. I hugged her tightly and kissed her. "But I'm wondering when did we planned it??" I said. "You remember the wild night we had in Italy" she said softly. I smiled and smirked, "we had every night wild in Italy love" I said and she blushed smacking me on my arm. "Shuuub, that 8rounds night?? We were so wild we didn't even used the protection" she said and I remembered. She laid her head on my shoulder. Once we reached home I opened the car door for her and helped her out. "Ab tumhari manmani bilkul bhi nhi chalegi Mrs. Squishy tomato Gill, now you need the utmost care and love and I'm right here to love you. So now you are never saying no to anything and I'll always love you like crazy" I told her. She became tomato again. I laughed at her reaction. "My baby will grow another baby in her you don't even know how much happy I'm right now. There's a little part of us in here and we'll see it grow infront of our eyes. Our own little human" I said and placed a hand on her stomach. She blushed hard and placed her hand on mine softly. I lead her inside the house. "Isha, Shub, you guys are back?? Kya kaha doctor ne??" Said Ishan eagerly. "Haan she probably had food poisoning right???" Said bhai, "sab thik to hai na???" Asked mom, "Shub, she is okay na?? I mean I've never seen her like this..... what did doctor said and why did it took so much time???" Asked bhabhi worried. I smile looking at them holding Isha in my arms, "arrreee!!!! Shubman, batana kya hua hai Isha ko??? Aur ye muskurana band kar pehle" scolded mom. "Mom, doctor said there's nothing to worry about, or bhabhi we were late because we had to run some tests on her, bhai she is not having a food poisoning, and Ishan, doctors said that....... That we are pregnant. She is pregnant for one and half month" I said and they all were shocked and then they all were so happy they screamed in happiness probably. "Oh my god!!! Puttar, aaja mera baccha" said mom as she hugged Isha and placed a kiss on her head. "Oh my goodness sweetie, congratulations and now no more tantrums and full good health care okay?? I'm so happy for you I can't even describe" said bhai as he also hugged Isha and kissed her head. "Ishiii, this is really going to be the lifetime memory for you and Shub both. Take care of yourself love. I'm so happy, congratulations darling" said bhabhi giving her a tight hug and kiss on her cheeks. "I'm so happy bro, I'm again gonna be a chachu" said Ishan as he also kissed Isha on her cheek, and gave her the tight hug,,, "aeeeyyyyy aeeeyyy aaram se Ishan" we all said together. "Sorry sorry, I'll take care wo thoda jyada hi excited ho gya tha so" he said. We all laughed and as Isha bent down to take blessings from dadi, "oye na puttar na zukna nhi hai. Rabba Meher kri aur tenu and twahde bacche nu khush rakhe te lambi Umar deve" said dadi giving Isha a hug and kiss on her head. "That's not fair, sab log Isha ko hi pyar krte hai, mujhe nhi. Me bhi to dad bnne vala hu" I said pouting and Isha laughed and bhai, Ishan, bhabhi and mom all of them hugged me together very tightly I can say squeezed me, and all of them gave me the kisses on my cheek. And we all were laughing. Everyone suggested to rest for Isha so I took her to our room, and placed two pillows behind her back. I made her sit comfortably on the bed and placed my head in her lap, close to her stomach. I turned around and looked at her stomach caressing it slowly, as she was tracing fingers in my hairs. I smiled and kissed her tummy. "I love you, thank you for making me this happy and thank you so much for making my life better and better each and every minute" I said as I placed my hands on her tummy and kissed there again, "I love you baby" I said and she pouts, I also love our baby. I chuckled and said "we love you baby" and we both laugh. She fell asleep under the effect of medication. I placed a soft kiss on her head and covered her with the duvet. I went down and looked the chaos going around the house. I've seen this before when bhabhi was pregnant, both times. Everyone is doing something and going crazy, "keart, tu aaj hi Isha de lai ladoo bna de" said dadi, "ji biji, Anushka puttar tu na wo Isha ko kya pasand hai haaan Golgappe, bna de puttar" said mom, "haan mom, wese bhi Ishi ko jo bhi khana hoga wo hum ghar pe hi bna denge bahar ka khana uske liye bilkul safe nhi hoga" said bhabhi. "Mom, mene na wo phone Karke Bol diya hai Ishan ko ki wapis ghar aaye tab Ishi ke liye fruits leke aaye pta nhi kab kya khane ka mann ho" said bhai, "or biji aap na Ishi ke liye ye nimboo ka achar bna dijiye" said mom. "Dad, aap na aaj se sara business ka kam Dekh lijiyega ab Isha ko ye sab nhi karna hai haan" said bhai and bhabhi. "Shub, tu khada kya hai kitna sara kam baki hai, tu aek kam kar list le le bhabhi se or mujhe wo sari chize laake de" said mom, I smiled, "guys, calm down, wo khud Dar jayegi ye sab Dekh k, aap log sab jante hai na wo kitni fitness conscious hai, and mom chill wo yahi hai humare sath khi nhi jayegi, 8 months abhi bhi baki hai. And besides she'll tell us if she'll need anything" I said. They all looked at me and smiled. "Bhabhi, ghar me hot water bag hain??, I think I'll give it to her she is having little back pain from last 2-3 days" I said. "Yeahh I'll just send it to your room, don't worry, and yeah Shub she'll have back pains for first three months. So look after her whenever she is sitting or sleeping okay" said bhabhi and I nodded. I ordered everything bhabhi gave me the list of. "Accha sun, Isha kya kar rhi hai??" Asked bhabhi. "Umm bhabhi she is sleeping, maybe due to the effect of medicine for her fever" I said. She nodded. "Use Jagana mat Shub, sone de aaram ho jayega wese bhi viral infection hai to thik hone me at least, 4-5 din to lagenge" said bhai. "Haan ye lo fruits, and wese bhi agar jag gyi na to phirse phudkna start kar degi mom, ye kam baki hai, bhabhi ye bhi karna hai, bhai humne aapke kapde to ab tak final nhi kiye!!! Shub aapka suit mujhe pasand nhi aa rha, and Ishhaaannn tu ye kya choice ki hai??? Teri khudki shadi hai, bro thoda accha select kar na apne liye" said Ishan mimicking Isha and we all laughed. I went up to our room and gave her the hot water bag, after sometime she felt relieved and we were coming down, when she started climbing down the stairs, everyone shouted, "aaeeeyyyy aaram se aaram se" and I just held her close and she smiled sheepishly. "I'm sorry, wo galti se ho Gaya" she smiled and we all smiled. "Oyye aaja puttar le ae ladoo kha le, Teri sehat de vaste acche hote hai, bilkul shudh ghee se bne hai" said dadi. Isha looked at me and bhai and Ishan smirked, "hume kya Dekh rhi hai, pure 2 ladoo khane hai" he said wiggling his eyebrows. Isha looked at me horrified and held bhabhi's hand, "whattt??? Shudh ghee ke ladoo wo bhi 2??? Nhi dadi aap janti hai na mujhe sweets bilkul bhi pasand nhi hai. Bhabhi please say something na please" she pleaded bhabhi. "Are tu Ishan ki baat mat sun, just 1 kha le" said bhabhi. "Bhabhi ye 1 bhi 2 barabar hai, itna bada ladoo kha lungi na to dinner bhi nhi hoga mujhse" said Isha whining. "Accha okay but you can have half right?? I'll eat half and you also need to eat half c'mon" I said as I took ladoo from Dadi's hand and fed her half and munched on half. "Are wahh, Shub aaj se roj tu hi khilayega Isha ko khana" said mom and Dadu together. Just like this the days went and five months were passed. Now Isha's baby bump was visible. We were sitting in garden and it was cold. I wrapped shawl around Isha and sit beside her. We all were sitting there and after some time it was her time for walking. When we were walking, I was holding her hand and were walking slowly. She didn't said anything but she was looking little off today. "What happened love??" I asked she smiled weakly at me and just shakes her head in nothing. "Sit here, and tell me what's wrong babe?? You want something?? You wanna go anywhere??" I asked her soothing her hand. She looked at me and smiled, "Shub, I know you are not going on tournament because of me" she said as a tear rolled down her cheek. "Baby, no it's not like that, I know you need me right now and I think the family duty comes above everything" I said cupping her face. "Shub, please go to play naa, I feel like I'm the reason for all your lost chances. Shub you always tell me that I'm your strength but you treat me like I'm your weakness" she said as she sobbed. I hugged her and looked her in eyes, "look sweetie, I love you and right now you need me, it's okay bhai and Ishan is there with the team even all the bhaiya and all also told me to do same. Isha you really think I should go on tournament love?? You wanna see me play rather that taking your care??" I asked her cupping her face. She looked down and turned away, "yess, I wanna see you play. I don't wanna be the reason to hold you back" she said. I sighed and surrendered her. I called Rohit bhaiya and informed him I'm going with them. Soon as we entered home as I knew Ishan and bhai were hell surprised by my decision, bhabhi nodded and told us to pack the bags. "Isha, you also pack your bag, as Shub will drop you to your parents home so that you can stay with them for sometime sweetie. They are already going Mumbai okay??" Said bhabhi and Isha nodded. We packed our bags and next day we all went to Mumbai and I dropped Isha at her parents home and went to the stadium. Soon our tournament was on and I was travelling all over India. "Hello, what are you doing baby?" I asked her as we were talking on FaceTime call. "Nothing just feeling tired because of your footballer baby" she said and I laughed. "Okay let me talk with him/her" I said. She placed her phone on stand showing me her tummy while she caressed it. "Hey baby brat, don't you dare to trouble your delicate mommy. She is my baby girl, I'll tell you once I'll be there just wait for me" I said and she laughed. Like that 15 days passed and now we were sitting in our rooms balcony, she was sipping on her milk. Suddenly she looked at me and called me, "Shub, look at this" she said. "Is it turning ??" I asked and she nodded taking my hand in hers and placing it on her belly. We both felt our baby's movements and it was so joyful experience. We were laughing when bhai, bhabhi and Ishan came in our room along with Priya. "What's so funny to laugh guys" said Ishan. "The baby, it's moving and kicking" I said and Ishan and bhai were so happy as well as bhabhi and Priya too. They all softly placed their hands on Isha's tummy and we all said in unison, "hiii baby" and baby kicked we all laughed and had so much good time. At night we were about to sleep when I kissed her tummy and said, "Dada loves you baby" when Isha pouts. "What happened??" I asked as I saw tears in her eyes. Oh god her mood swings. "I can't even kiss our baby like you, our baby won't love me as it'll love you" she said as she pouted. I chuckled and kissed her lips and then kissed her tummy again, "baby, this is mama's kiss, I'll transport her kisses to you" and she giggled. I knew she is always in need of me, so I've been gentle with her always. I caressed her tummy and we fell asleep. At midnight, almost around 2-3 o clock, she poked my cheeks and woke me up. "Shub, please uthiye naaa, Shub. Please get up naa" she whined. I woke up with a jerk and held her head, "is it paining already baby?? Don't worry-" I was shut up by her lips on mine as she deeply kissed me. I stoped blabbering and kissed her whole heartedly. "Shub, mujhe ice cream khana hai, and ice cream ke sath sath crackers and salted cookies bhi and Nutella bhi please" she said. I laughed at the way she asked me for it. "C'mon let's get you some ice cream" I said as I took her down and took the blanket with me. I held her hands and waist as we went down. Soon I brought ice creams and chocolates for her, everyone was used to bring something for her. Isha clapped and giggled like she was five years old. She ate almost 1-1/2 tub of ice cream and started eating salted cookies with spoonful of Nutella. I somehow managed to take it away from her, "that's it darling, now no more sweets or you'll catch a cold. Let's go to sleep" I said and she pouts. "Shub I wanna watch the cartoon movie" she said. "Baby in the middle of the night??" I asked and she looked at me pouting and pulling her puppy eyes. I smiled and started tv and played the movie she wanna watch and made her sleep on the little air bed, and covered ourselves in blanket as I placed my hand on her tummy and I rested my head on the edge of sofa. Soon she was asleep and so does I. Just like this, it's been nine months. It was almost time for the baby's arrival. We all were in the living room and Isha was sitting there playing video games with me. Suddenly she held her stomach and screamed, "Shuuuubbbbb, aaaahhhhhh it's paining shub" she said. I freaked out and Ishan also. He started shouting, "baby is coming baby is coming,,,,, moooooommmmmm, bhabhhiiiiii Isha is having pain, bhaaaaiiiiii, koi jaldi doctor ko bulao, priyyyaaaaaaa oh my god pta nhi kya kru kya kru????? Me behosh ho jaunga" he started panick, I held Isha and she looked at me, "Ishhaaannn, baby mera aane wala hai tu behosh kyu ho rha hai???? Tu car nikal" she screamed, I held her tightly, "calm down baby, calm down I'm right here. Take deep breaths, take deep breaths, Let's go" I told her and led her to our car. I opened the door for her and helped her in. Bhai opened the door and I get inside making her rest on me, bhai started driving and bhabhi sat behind along with Isha's labour bag that she made for her. We get going and mom, dad, dadi, dadu and Priya came in other car. As soon as we reached hospital the doctor rushed and were taking her inside. Isha wasn't ready to let go of my hand, bhai requested the doctors and they let me go with her. I was holding her hand while she was screaming and crying in pain. I soothed her placing my hand on her forehead. She screamed when doctors did her delivery and soon our baby was out of her womb. "Congratulations Mr & Mrs.Gill it's a boy" said the doctor and the nurse wrapped our baby in a towel and Isha was losing her consciousness. The nurse cleaned our baby and gave him to me wrapped in soft white towel. I was afraid first but when I saw our little bundle of joy, my smile was plastered to my face and tears in my eyes. I saw my baby, taking him in my hands I kissed his head with all the love. I took him out and my whole family prayed to god for Isha's good health and our baby's long life. Mom and dadi blessed him and dadu and dad were so happy. Bhai and ishan also had tears in their eyes. Bhabhi took him in her hands and kissed his head while a tear rolled down her cheeks as well as Priya's. "Welcome home sweetheart" said bhabhi and Priya together. Vansh and Vamika were also very happy. We all were so happy. Just then the staff shifted Isha to her room and told us to meet her after sometime. Bhabhi took the baby in the room. I was crying out of joy and bhai and ishan gave me a big warm hug. Soon Isha gained her consciousness back and as her eyes opened, she looked at me and smiled weakly. She was looking so weak and fragile. I hugged her and kissed her head. She looked at me, "bab ba baby??" She asked. I got up and took our baby from the cradle beside her bed and gave him in her hands. She carefully held him and our baby opened his eyes and looked at us smiling. Our hearts were flustered with such moments. She kissed his head while tears were flowing down her cheeks. I kissed her lips and hugged my wife and baby it's my own little family.
