Chapter 20 - Newest Singhania Family Member

A short chapter. Enjoy!

Bani laid her face down on Veer's chest, inhaling his sweet fragrance. Veer looked down at his wife and smiled, cheeks crimson red. He still wasn't over the surprise she gave him. Days before Bani suddenly was packing their bags. When Veer asked where they're going Bani let him know that her massi is sick and they need to go to Shimla. Being the supportive husband he is, Veer helped her pack and kept assuring Bani everything will be okay. He was so focused on making sure she's okay that he didn't even realize she was packing his and her bathing suits. Once they got to the airport Veer looked up at the gate and was shocked. Goa? He asked. Bani smiled wide and pecked his cheek. Hmm...happy birthday baby. She whispered with love in her eyes.

Back to the present moment...

Baby...can I ask you something? Veer said while getting lost in Bani's beautiful face. Bani adjusted her leg and wrapped his tightly around her naked thigh. Hmm? She said and kissed the side of his neck. I...I...Veer stuttered. Bani could sense the hesitation in his voice. She sat up slightly and looked at him with a soft gaze. You can ask me Veer...kya hai? Veer sat up as well and pulled her in for a hug. He rubbed her behind, and Bani wondered if he was too scared to ask her for one more round. Bani moaned and said Veer...you know I'm always ready baby...I love you so much...Veer smiled and stopped her hand from rubbing him, making her frown at him. Uske liye poora din parra hai. Jaanu...I...I know we talked about this several months ago...about...about starting a family...we agreed to wait until your business is thriving and I'm more independent at the office as well. But...Bani scrunched her eyebrows. You...you don't want to have kids anymore? She asked, her heart racing. Veer's eyes opened wide and he cupped her cheeks as tears brimmed her eyes. What? No....Bani's heart sank. Oh...she said and lowered her eyes. Veer shook his head and kissed her cheeks. Baby...when did I say that? Of course I want kids. I imagine us with our own babies everyday...I...I was going to say...after my accident. Bani smacked his chest. Accident ki baat kabhi matth karna. I can't handle hearing about that anymore.

Veer sighed and hugged her tight. He looked at her back and began playing with her hair. I...I realized life is so short...Bani groaned, trying to get out of his hold. Arre gharwali baat toh poori karne do. I was saying that event made me realize...time isn't garaunteed. Kya patta kal kya ho? I...I don't want to wait anymore...I want...I want to start a family...start planning...if...if you're ready as well. Bani froze. She wasn't expecting the conversation to lead this way. Veer felt her body stiffen. With a whisper he said I understand...baby I won't pressure you. It was just a thought. It's okay...hmm? Bani came out of his embrace and now Veer saw the tears rolling down her cheeks. He was about to panic but then saw her smiling as well. They were happy tears. Bani nodded her head enthusiastically and laughed with him as he started to cry as well. Toh...toh planning shurru? He asked. Bani giggled and jumped on his crotch. Whoa! Gharwali...you're already ready? He asked. Bani smiled and pecked his lips. Thank you Veer...thank you for coming into my life. I love you so much...and now...now we'll have our own mini Bani or Veer...I...I can't believe this...Veer chuckled and rubbed his nose affectionately with hers. You're my everything Bani. My queen, my soulmate, my world...I love you...love you until the end of time...

Three days later at the beach...

Bani muje nahi jaana. Veer said as Bani dragged him towards the tiny shop. Veer kyun zidd karr rahe ho? It'll be fun! Bani whined. Veer looked over at the "Free palm reading with purchase of crystals" sign and laughed. Bani this is just their way of making you buy stuff. And I know what will happen...the palm reader will say something scary about my future and you will freak out. Bani pouted and batted her lashes. Pakka promise I won't. Veer...I swear I won't take it seriously. Dekho na...we've only done what you want. Scuba diving, hiking, trying that gross seafood restaurant. Veer laughed and wrapped his arms around her waist. Acha? Who said 'Baby it's your birthday. This entire trip we will only do what you want...I love you my shonu'. Bani rolled her eyes at him mimicking her voice. Fine. Nahi jaana to naa jaao. She said and stomped her feet as she walked away. Once she was several feet ahead she heard the door open of the tiny shop. Bani turned around and saw Veer standing there with the door open and waving his arm like a gentleman gesturing for her to come in. Bani squealed in excitement and ran after him.
