Forever His

Chapter 28: Uncle and Aunt

Shahmeer's POV:

I parked the car infront of the mall. Farjaad had showered at the hotel and changed into a fresh set of clothes. He smelt better. I wasn't going to admit that I felt bad but I did. I should've listened to him and My Wife. 

"Call me when you guys are ready." I was going to go back to the office and sort a few things out regarding Hussain.

"Wait you aren't coming?" Mahnoor asked.

"Yeah, I thought you were gonna join us."

"I have work at the office. You guys enjoy. Make sure to eat something aswell."

"It's fine. It''ll only be around an hour. Come on Shahmeer." When he said an hour, he meant two.

"Please?" I looked at Mahnoor and her eyes stared at me, filled with hope and I found myself agreeing before I knew it.

"Fine."

"YAY!"

We all got out of the car and made our way inside. The place was buzzing. I usually don't come here but I came recently to the bridal suits to get Mahnoor's dresses for the wedding events.

We entered one of the many baby shops and they both started looking around. 

"Shahmeer, come here." I walked over to where she was and she was holding a romper that said 'Auntie's little baby'.

"Is this nice?"

"Looks nice. Anything else?"

"Still looking."

I looked around to see where Farjaad was and he was asking a worker about the prams. I walked over to the other aisle filled with toys. There was a giraffe comfort blanket. I held it infront of me. It reminded me of something I didn't want to be reminded of so I put it back.

"Why'd you put it back? It's so cute." I didn't realise Mahnoor was behind me. She picked the same one up and put it in the basket. 

"Pass it to me." I signal towards the basket.

"I can hold it myself."

"You don't have to, love." She gave up knowing I would take it whatever happened and gave it to me.

"Anything else you like?"

"I don't know. I just wanna buy it all."

"Okay." 

"Ooo, this one's pretty." It was a pajama set with Winnie the Pooh on the shirt and pots of honey all over on the bottoms.

"It's nice." She put it in the basket and walked along.

"You seem very...enthusiastic regarding babies." 

"I LOVE THEM!"

"Really, hm?"

"Yess! They're so cute and so precious."

"Probably."

"Have you also never had a sibling?"

"No. No. I haven't."

"Okay..."

"Should we go to the shoes aisle?"

"Sure. I wanna see if they have Converse but the baby version."

"Those ones?" I point to the Converse.

"YESSS!" She ran towards them and searched for a particular size and placed them in the basket.

"Are you guys ready?" I saw Farjaad on the opposite side holding a pram and bouncer.
