Ishika entered his study with her 8 months old baby bump, she looked at Garv who was doing something on his laptop, she sighed at his workaholic nature and walked towards him sitting next to him on the couch.

He was so immersed in his work that he didn't notice her approach until she sat down next to him. He looked up at her with a hint of surprise before shutting the laptop and giving her his full attention.

"Hey," he said, a smile on his face. "What are you doing here,shouldn't you be resting?"

"It's late, let's go in the room I want to sleep with you." She said with puppy eyes.

Garv chuckled at her pleading expression, amused by her adorable request. He closed his laptop and stood up, although a hint of tiredness was still evident on his face.

"As if I could refuse those puppy eyes," he teased, offering her a hand. "Let's go, love."

She slowly and carefully stood up from the couch taking support of his hand and made her way towards the room with him by her side.

"You should be taking it easy, you know," he chided gently, his voice filled with concern. "You're carrying precious cargo."

Ishika giggled at his words as they entered the room and walked towards the bed. Once they reached the bed, he helped her settle down onto it, careful not to apply any pressure on her stomach.*

"Are you comfortable?" he asked, a hint of worry still in his voice as he took a seat next to her.

She nodded at his words laying down with his help and as he covered her with the quilt. Garv settled down beside Ishika, gently tucking the quilt around her to keep her warm. His gaze lingered on her, noting the exhaustion on her face. He reached out and gently brushed a strand of hair away from her forehead, his touch tender and caring.

"You look tired," he observed, his voice soft and gentle. "Are you sure you got enough rest today?"

"I was just watching a few movies with Aaditri," she spoke with a meek smile playing on her lips.

"Just a few movies, huh?" he teased gently. "Did you at least eat something in between?"

"I had fruits, ma gave that to me," she spoke, as she struggled to lay in that position. Due to her belly it was hard to lay on the sides and she couldn't sleep straight.

Seeing her struggle to find a comfortable position, Garv immediately sat up and offered his assistance.

"Here, love, let me help you," he said, gently maneuvering her body so that she could lie down more comfortably.

He carefully placed pillows around her, creating a soft and supported environment for her belly. Once he was satisfied that she was as comfortable as possible, he laid down beside her, his arm gently wrapping around her.

She nodded as he settled the pillow beside her, she smiled at him before closing her eyes and drifting into her dream land.

He couldn't help but smile at her peaceful face, the exhaustion from the day finally catching up to her.*

"Sweet dreams, love," he whispered quietly, not wanting to disturb her sleep. He remained lying next to her, his arm still protectively around her.

Ishika's eyes fluttered open as a wave of pain coursed through her back. It had become a familiar sensation in her late stages of pregnancy. She shifted slightly, trying to find a comfortable position, but the pain persisted.
