Her Saviour

61. Pregnant

Shiv and Nitya were sitting on bed with Shiv's hand tapping hers with the pregnancy kit in front of her and a stopwatch beside it, about to hit 5 minutes.

FLASHBACK

Shiv looked at his phone and then at Nitya, "It's 7 today." He said as Nitya nodded, still not understanding what she missed , when Shiv furthur clarified her, "Cherry pie your periods." He said it in almost a loud voice, and Nitya's eyes widened as she got down the dressing table instantly.

"It was supposed to be 2 weeks ago." She said still shocked as to how she could miss the date.

"Yes, you missed your periods, and also you were not liking the smell of Poha." Shiv told her whatever he noticed.

"I didn't notice it." She furrowed her brows at her husband.

"I did. And also, your breasts were sore for the past few weeks. It only used to happen during your periods, but now it's consistent for some time and you have no periods. And also, you urinate more than usual."

"Wait, how do you know all these symptoms?" She looked at her husband, amused, shocked, and flattered.

"What do you mean by how? I started reading about all the changes you will experience since we started trying for baby."

Among all the chaos, a red hue spread along Nitya's cheek, seeing her husband being so considerate towards her, and she forgot what they were discussing.

PRESENT

And suddenly the stopwatch hit 5 minutes.

"You check it." Nitya tapped at his shoulder, not having the courage to look at it.

Shivansh instantly took the kit in his hand, being excited, and his face fell as he looked at Nitya. Nitya understood from her expression that the result was something unexpected, as tears filled her eyes. She really had hope to hear good news.

And in the next second she found herself in a bone-crushing hug: "We are having our son." Shiv exclaimed happily, and a gush of excitement filled her inside, with tears flooding her eyes.

But instead of getting a hug or kiss, Shiv got some slaps on his shoulder from his wife, who was looking angrily at him.

"Why did you make such a face? I was scared."

Shiv chuckled at her and took her face in a kiss instantly, carefully pushing her on the bed. They smiled, laughed, and cried in the kiss with their bodies trembling in excitement.

"Thank you so much, Shiv." Nitya said leaning back from kiss while Shiv was still hovering over her.

He wiped her tears. "Why are you thanking me? I should thank you Cherry Pie, you are going to carry our child."

Nitya took his face in her palms, looking at the man who changed her life completely "No, Shiv, I should thank you because when I will have mood swings, you will be the one who will handle those; you will have to cook for me at midnight; you will have to make sure I take my medication because I despise them the most; and also you would have to eat that bland food with me post pregnancy." She explained to him while he just nodded thinking about all this.

"I will do everything for you and for our child." He said, caressing her stomach, and she put her hand over his.

"How will we inform our family?" Nitya questioned with a pout.

But her pout excited her husband even more, and instead of answering her, he took her lips in his own.

At night

Everyone was settled on the dining table having dinner. Just before they could finish dinner, maids brought out a cake and placed it in front of Rajveer and Rashmi.
