As Shubman moved back in with Naina, a sense of completeness washed over them both. Naina's heart swelled with happiness as she welcomed him back into their home, knowing that they were stronger together, ready to face whatever challenges life may bring.

"I'm so glad you're here, Shubman," Naina whispered, her voice filled with gratitude as she wrapped her arms around him in a tight embrace. "I've missed you."

Shubman held her close, his own heart brimming with love and relief. "I missed you too, Naina," he murmured, pressing a kiss to her forehead. "I'm never leaving your side again."

With Shubman by her side, Naina's pregnancy progressed, each passing day bringing them closer to the arrival of their little one. They shared moments of joy and excitement as they prepared for the baby's arrival, decorating the nursery and attending prenatal appointments together.

Then, the day of the baby shower arrived, a joyous celebration of love and anticipation surrounded by friends and family. Amidst the laughter and chatter, the moment finally came to reveal the gender of the baby.

Naina held her breath as she watched Shubman open the envelope containing the ultrasound results, her heart pounding with anticipation. And then, with a smile that lit up the room, Shubman announced the news.

"It's a boy!" he exclaimed, his voice filled with excitement as he shared the joyous revelation with their loved ones.

Tears of happiness filled Naina's eyes as she embraced Shubman, their hearts overflowing with love for their unborn son. "A boy," she repeated, her voice choked with emotion. "Our son."

In that moment, surrounded by the love and support of their family and friends, Shubman and Naina felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude and joy. They knew that their lives would soon be forever changed by the arrival of their little boy, and they couldn't wait to welcome him into their arms and into their hearts.

As the joyous news of Naina's pregnancy filled the air, the happiness seemed to ripple outward, touching the lives of their close friends as well. Meanwhile, amidst the celebrations, Ishan and Aditi took their relationship to the next level by tying the knot in a beautiful ceremony filled with love and laughter.

At Ishan and Aditi's wedding reception, Shubman and Naina, glowing with anticipation of their baby boy, watched the newlyweds dance their first dance as husband and wife.

"Ishan looks so happy," Naina whispered to Shubman, resting her hand on her growing baby bump. "And Aditi is just glowing."

Shubman smiled, his eyes never leaving the dance floor. "They deserve all the happiness in the world," he replied softly. "Just like we do."

As the evening progressed, Shubman noticed Abhishek and Aarohi laughing together in a corner. He nudged Naina and nodded towards them. "Looks like something's brewing there too."

Naina giggled, watching the way Abhishek and Aarohi seemed completely absorbed in each other. "I think you're right," she said with a smile. "They make a cute couple."

Later, during a quieter moment at the reception, Shubman and Naina approached Abhishek and Aarohi.

"So, what's going on with you two?" Shubman teased, his eyes twinkling with mischief.

Abhishek grinned, his arm casually draped around Aarohi's shoulders. "Well, we've been spending a lot of time together," he admitted. "I guess you could say we're officially dating now."

Aarohi blushed, but she nodded in agreement. "It's true," she said, smiling up at Abhishek. "And I couldn't be happier."

Naina clapped her hands in delight. "That's wonderful news!" she exclaimed. "Congratulations to both of you."

As the evening wore on, the group of friends shared stories, laughter, and dreams for the future. With Ishan and Aditi newly married and Abhishek and Aarohi beginning a new chapter in their relationship, the bonds between them grew even stronger.

Back at home, as Shubman and Naina settled into bed, Shubman wrapped his arms around her and kissed her cheek. "It's amazing how everything is falling into place," he murmured. "Our friends are finding happiness, and soon, we'll have our little boy."

Naina snuggled closer to him, feeling a deep sense of contentment. "Yes, everything feels just right," she agreed softly. "And I can't wait to see what the future holds for all of us."

With their hearts full of love and hope, Shubman and Naina drifted off to sleep, dreaming of the beautiful journey that lay ahead, surrounded by friends, family, and the promise of a bright and joyful future.

As Naina's pregnancy progressed and her belly grew, Shubman made it a priority to be there for her every step of the way. He rearranged his schedule to ensure he could spend as much time as possible with her, helping with anything she needed.

One evening, as Naina struggled to tie her shoes, she called out to Shubman. "Shubman, could you give me a hand? I can't seem to reach my feet anymore," she said with a chuckle.

Shubman rushed over with a smile, kneeling in front of her. "Of course, love," he said, gently taking her foot and tying her shoe with care. "Just let me know whenever you need help. I'm here for you."

Naina smiled, her heart swelling with gratitude. "Thank you, Shubman. You've been so amazing. I don't know what I'd do without you."

Shubman stood up and kissed her forehead. "You don't have to do anything without me," he said softly. "We're in this together."

As the weeks passed, Shubman took on more responsibilities around the house. He cooked meals, cleaned, and even took up some of Naina's favorite hobbies to keep her company. One afternoon, as they sat together painting the nursery, Shubman looked at Naina with a smile.

"I can't believe how close we are to meeting our little boy," he said, dipping his brush into the paint. "I feel like time is flying by."

Naina nodded, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "I know. It's a little overwhelming, but in the best way possible," she replied. "I can't wait to see him and hold him in my arms."

Shubman put his brush down and took Naina's hand in his. "You're going to be an amazing mother, Naina," he said earnestly. "And I'm going to do everything I can to be the best father I can be."

Naina squeezed his hand, tears of joy welling up in her eyes. "And you're going to be an incredible father, Shubman," she said, her voice filled with emotion. "Our son is so lucky to have you."

As they continued preparing for their baby's arrival, Shubman made sure to cherish every moment with Naina, knowing that these precious times were laying the foundation for their future as a family. Each day brought them closer to the joyous moment when they would finally hold their son, and together, they faced the journey ahead with love, determination, and unwavering support for one another.

As the months flew by, Shubman and Naina's bond grew stronger, woven together by shared anticipation and deepening love. The nursery was ready, filled with warmth and tender touches, a reflection of the home they had built together. On a quiet evening, with Shubman's hand resting gently on Naina's swollen belly, they felt their baby boy kick, a powerful reminder of the life they had created. They exchanged a look filled with love and unspoken promises. In that moment, they knew that no matter what challenges lay ahead, they would face them together, fortified by the love that had brought them this far. As they awaited the arrival of their son, their hearts brimmed with hope and joy, ready to embrace the beautiful journey of parenthood that awaited them.
