One Year Later...

As I stepped out of the hospital, the report clutched tightly in my wobbly hands, tears streamed down my cheeks—unstoppable. I stared at the paper, my vision blurry, from the overwhelming rush of emotions.

I had been feeling nauseous, dizzy, and had even thrown up a few times. I thought it might be stress, or maybe something I ate. So I came to get checked.

Nikshant wanted to come with me. He insisted. But at the last moment, an important meeting came up. He didn't want to leave me—I saw it in his eyes—but I had reassured him, told him I'd be fine. And honestly... I'm glad I came alone.

The doctor had gently asked me about my symptoms, listened carefully, and then suggested a pregnancy test. I took it, thinking it would be nothing. Just to be sure. Just to be sure, I took the pregnancy test. My hands were tremulous as I held the kit, heart pounding in my chest. I didn't know what scared me more—the wait, or the answer that could change everything.

And then... I got the news. The biggest happiness of my life.

No—the second biggest happiness of my life, first only to marry him.

I'm pregnant.
Pregnant.
I'm actually pregnant.

Four weeks.
Four freaking weeks!

Am I happy?

God, yes.

So much that my heart feels like it's about to burst. I feel like screaming, dancing in the middle of the street, crying tears of joy into my husband's chest as he holds me tightly.

But another thought sneaks in.

Will he be happy too?

I know he will. This baby... it's our love made real. A part of me. A part of him.

A quiet sob escaped me as I placed my hand over my belly. I smiled through my tears and whispered, "Your father is going to be the happiest person in the world, baby."

I wiped my tears, took a deep breath, and carefully thrust the report into my bag. My heart was racing with emotions I couldn't even begin to describe. As I slid into the backseat of the car, Driver Chacha looked at me through the rearview mirror, concerned.

"Chacha, please stop at a bakery," I said softly, trying to steady my voice.

"Ji, Aaravi beta," he replied with a warm nod, and soon pulled over near a little bakery shop.

I stepped out, my hands slightly trembling, and walked into the shop. My eyes scanned the cakes until one caught my heart. I asked them to write on it:

Soon-to-be Parents.

Just reading those words made my heart flutter. A shy, teary smile played on my lips as I took the box and walked out.

Back in the car, I held the cake close like it was the most precious thing in the world. And it was... it was the symbol of life growing inside me. Of our love. All I wanted now was to hug him. Feel his arms around me. Tell him everything.

"Chacha, please take me to Nikshant's office," I said, barely containing my excitement.

A short while later, the car pulled up in front of his office building. My heart thudded in anticipation as I stepped out.
