A LITTLE BETTER🤍

E V A R A

"It's a good deal Nevan" I said as he pecked my bump.

"It's risky as well" He replied.

"What isn't?" I asked back and he chuckled.

He leaned closer to me and kissed my lips.

"You look so cute with all this baby weight" He said making me sulk.

"I look fat" I said in an accepting tone.

"No, you are just a little swollen up. You'll lose weight after the baby arrives, I bet" He said making me smile.

We cuddled while talking about the day and just then his phone started ringing.

"Yeah...Ok I'll surely talk but please let me have sometime with her" He argued and I knew it might be that Italian guy.

"Does he irritate you?" I asked.

"Yeah...Actually we were friends in college, that bastard wants to do business with me since then" He said giving a bad look.

"Give him a Chance Neev, what if it's worth it?" I suggested.

"What if it's not?" Such a negative man.

"Stay away from my baby if you are going to radiate such bad vibes" I said and he laughed.

"Ok fine...But just because you said" He replied.

Haan, phir kuch hua toh saara beda mere naam pe phodega.

"Theek hai, ab jaao aur mere liye woh fridge mein rakha hua pizza le aao" I said earning a weird look.

"Fridge ka kyu? I'll order a fresh one" He said and I instantly stopped him.

"Mujhe thanda chahiye, baby ko bhi" I added and he thankfully understood.

2 Months Later...

"Rani Sa Hukum, the latest pictures and videos of the school are here" Parag said handing me an IPad.

I saw the kids playing around and studying, everything felt great. Everyone was happy and so was I, my kids were getting what they deserved.

"Why is my Queen smiling so much?" Nevan asked as he entered the room.

"Watch this" I said and he immediately smiled looking at the screen.

"You are such a Great Mother" He said.

"All because of you" I couldn't stop myself from kissing his cheek.

We spent the day talking about business and then arrived my husband's annoying friend, according to him not me. Jonathan is a fun loving guy who looks harsh but is a softy actually.

"You know even I have a son, his name is Rey Stephen Marino" Jonathan said and my husband sulked.

"I see what you did there" Nevan muttered with an eye roll.

"What happened?" I questioned eyeing them suspiciously.

"Rey means a King and ofcourse he is going to become a King in future so this guy made it easy" Nevan explained and I chuckled.

"That is so clever" I said as Nevan sighed in frustration.

We chatted for a few more minutes and then Jonathan had to leave for the further preparations of our deal.

I on the other hand felt nauseous and my morning sickness was hitting in, Nevan is no longer having the Couvade Syndrome and I am having all the issues possible.

One night I had a dream that I am going into Labor and when I woke up, I literally asked if my baby was ok or not.

We only have five months remaining for the Baby to arrive and I cannot be any more freaked out.

"Nevan, what if the baby doesn't like it's name?" I questioned.

"That's stupid, who has a choice even if they don't like their names?" Nevan asked and I chuckled, yes ofcourse the kids don't have a choice.

I said 'kids' in plural, Awww......

Maa Sa came in, holding a black thread which had tiny bells hanging on it.

"Pandit ji se Pooja karke mangvaaya hai, baandh lo paer mein" Maa said and I was about to bend down but Nevan did it on behalf of me and tied the thread tightly as we smiled.

He is going to be a great girl dad, let's see what the baby gets in future.

5 Months Later...

"Nevan...I feel a bit uneasy" I muttered as he caressed my bump.

"Should we go to the hospital?" He asked and I was about to say no when a sudden pain erupted and I screamed bloody murder.

"WE HAVE TO GO RIGHT NOW" He screamed and carried me to the car, the whole family rushed behind us and we all drove to the hospital in different cars.

I was taken to the OT directly as the doctor asked me to take deep breaths.

"What if the baby doesn't like me?" I asked panicking as Nevan sighed.

"Don't think of such stuff and just do whatever the doctor says" He said but I cried more.

"See? You are already hating me" I muttered with a sad pout.

"Sweetheart, shut up!"

Great! He is shutting me up now and before I could react, another contraction hit me and I screamed as loud as possible.

"Hukum Sa, you should wait outside" The doctor instructed and before I could say anything, he interrupted.

"I am not leaving her alone" Another reason why I love this guy.

He held my hand tightly as the doctor asked me to push more.

"On the count of three" She instructed.

"One...Two...Three!" And I pushed.

"Good, just a little more pressure" She kept motivating and I kept pushing until I was about to faint.

"This is not helping, she needs to push harder" She said and Nevan gave me a concerned look.

"Can you try harder baby? It's been three hours, we don't want the baby and you to suffer more" He was trying to be calm.

"Rani Sa, please for once" Even the doctor looked scared.

I took a deep breath and closed my eyes as a few more tears rolled down and Nevan immediately wiped them away.

"Yeah, I'll try again" I said and pushed as hard as I could.

In a few minutes I heard a cry but I myself fainted the next second.
