FALLING FOR YOU ..

LXI - I am not ready yet ..

"Yes.. we got it.. Becky asked for having a baby.... But what we don't get is that why are you so stressed about it! She is your wife. She wants to have a baby with you. As far as we know, both the families will be over the moon about it... Then what is the issue?" -- Nam completed her question and looked at Freen, who was just playing with the wine glass. All the other friends also looked at her eagerly, waiting to hear her answer. But there was no answer.

"Irin told me that Becky is not so happy that she did not reply to her question yet... " -- Tee touched her lightly on the shoulder.

"Yes I know...." -- The reply was almost a whisper only.

"Freen what exactly is bothering you... Did she ask you to carry? Is that it?" -- Kade asked.

"No Kade... She wants to carry...." -- Freen responded fast this time.

"Then what's the problem Fuzzy? What exactly did she ask?" -- Nam was losing her patience.

"She asked me for a baby....." ---

"And?" -- Kade asked, urging her to continue.

"She said she wants to carry.. and we can start the process soon.. And she said she wants to use my egg ........" --

"Then...?" -- Tee asked.

"Then... I didn't reply." -- Freen said and all groaned.

"She is young.. We still have time.. There is no need to rush.." -- Freen said after a while.

"Why did you not tell her that?" -- Kade asked.

"She asked it like a gift Kade!! I couldn't refuse!! But I couldn't reply as well..." -- Freen said and her friends hummed in reply.

"Her career is going on so well.. Ninety Two also is doing well... We haven't been married for long... " -- Freen continued and others waited patiently for her to continue.

"I... I don't understand why she wants a baby now itself... Is she already tired of being just with me? Why does she want to have one more addition now itself?" --

"Awww Fuzzy.... That's your real issue... right?" -- Nam facepalmed.

"It's normal Freen... To think of having babies after being married for some time.." -- Tee said with a soft smile.

"It's not because she is tired of being with you only Freen... It's because she wants a piece of you.... You know.. She even asked for your egg..!!" -- Kade said.

"And if you are not ready yet, you can tell her that.. She will definitely understand." -- Nam said with assurance.

"Are you sure?" -- Freen looked at Nam, who nodded her head with a soft smile.

Becky had already gone to sleep by the time Freen reached. She had to attend a movie premier and a press meet afterwards. Freen closed the door without making any sound. Her legs were not really steady after the long wine session with her friends. She walked to the bathroom to get fresh and to change.

She climbed on her side of the bed and lied down, facing Becky's back. She was not really sleepy. She thought for a while and moved closer to Becky and pulled her closer to her front in a warm and tight hug.

"Babe....." -- Becky whispered soft and rested her head on Freen's arm comfortably, in her sleep.

Freen tightened her arms and pressed her lips to her neck, inhaling deep.
