Recap: All were sitting in Manan's room having their breakfast & discussing about Mukti's baby. When Nandini got a bit emotional & hugged Manik. Daniel who was standing outside the room & listening to everything said to himself,
Daniel:  Enjoy as much as u want now.... Just let these two days pass by. This child of Mukti's will come as an end to ur marriage Manik. Just wait & watch how I make this event the most dreadful event of ur lives. Just let Nandini give birth of this little child of Mukti & then I'll take her much much far away from u.

The two days passed in a flash & finally Nandini got Mukti admitted in the hospital. Nandini didn't want Mukti to cause so much pain in the last minute running to the hospital chaos, so she suggested Mukti to get admitted beforehand itself. But then she knew that knowing Fab5's presence in the hospital, the media would be a problem so only Abhi, his mother & Navya were in the hospital & the rest would come only at the time when Mukti would be ready for the delivery. She herself had arranged all the security in the hospital with the help of Manik. It was late afternoon when she was sitting in her cabin with Dr. Agarwal discussing about a patients report when she heard a knock on the door.
Nandini: Come In!!
The door slowly opened & Manik entered followed by Daniel & Nyra.
Nyra: Mumma!!
Nyra ran towards Nandini & hugged her.
Nandini: Hello baby!!
Nyra climbed on her lap & sat.
Nandini: Nyra.... Say hello to Dr. uncle.
Nyra: Hello Uncle!!
Dr. Agarwal: Hello little girl.
Nandini: Manik... U here!! I told u guys na, Fab5 should not be here, or media will get to know.
Manik: I couldn't stop myself & moreover I hv come alone & no one saw me... So chill!!
Nandini gave him a simple look & Dr. Agarwal said,
Dr. Agarwal: Dr. Nandini u continue... I'll take a leave.
Nandini: Ohk Dr.... But I think about this patient we don't need the operation for the time being, I think he can get better by the medicines only & plus, he is responding to the treatment positively. And if at all in the future the condition gets worse that time we can hv the operation.
Dr. Agarwal: I think u r right Dr. Nandini!! I'll talk to his family & imform them about this.
Nandini: Ohk Dr.
Dr. Agarwal got up & said to Manik.
Dr. Agarwal: See u around Manik.... And Nandini do keep me informed about Mukti.
Nandini: Sure Doctor.
He felt the room & Daniel said,
Daniel: Nandini... I needed a favour from u & Manik.
Nandini: Anything for u Daniel... Whats it??
Daniel: Actually I hv to leave for Canada tommorow for some important work. I had to go there next week & I had thought that I would go to Australia first & drop Nyra in her boarding, but now I don't have time to drop her there & also I don't know what kinda conditions are gonna be in Canada so I just wondered if..... I mean if u both r okay with it then can Nyra plz stay here with u!!
Nandini was about to say something when suddenly Manik said,
Manik: Off course... Whats there to ask in this?? Nyra can definately stay with us for as much time as she wants.
Nandini heard him & saw the happiness on his face & smiled,
Nandini: Don't worry Daniel... Nyra will be safe & sound with us.
She turned to Nyra & asked,
Nandini: Baby!! Will u live with Mumma & Manik Uncle??
Nyra: Yes!!
Nyra said happily. Just then Nandini's landline phone rang. She picked it up & said,
Nandini: Hello!!
Diya(Recepionist): Dr. Nandini..... Mukti mam has started having the labour pain, Dr. Meeta wants u there.
Nandini immediately made Nyra get off her lap & said,
Nandini: Ohk I m coming!!
She disconnected the call & got up. She wore her coat saying,
Nandini: Manik call the others, Mukti has started with the labour pain....
Saying so she rushed out of her cabin, followed by the rest. They reached Mukti's room to see Mukti screaming in pain holding abhi's hand. Navya & Abhi's mother were standing at the rare corner as Dr. meeta & two nurses prepared for the delivery.
Mukti saw her & called out,
Mukti: Nandini!!
Nandini rushed towards her, while Manik stood at the door itself with Daniel & Nyra.
Nandini: Calm down Mukti, I m here calm down.
Meeta: Nandini... We need the room empty now!!
Nandini: Yeah Sure!! Guys.... Plz move outside!!
All of them nodded & moved out leaving Abhi.
Nandini kept her hand on Abhi's shoulder & said slowly,
Nandini: Abhi...Relax, I m here.... U wait outside plz!!
Abhi smiled at Mukti & kissed her forehead after which he moved out.
Meeta along with Nandini started with the process. Mukti was screaming badly in pain but somehow Nandini's presence helped her. She had full faith on Nandini. Soon Cabir, Dhruv & Aliya also joined the others outside.
20 minutes later, finally Nandini got up with a cute little baby girl crying in her arms. She smiled looking at her & turned the fully blood claded baby towards Mukti. Mukti looked at her daughter with tears flowing from her eyes & smile on her face. But then Nandini saw her smile fade & suddenly Mukti fainted.
Nandini: Mukti!!
Dr. Meeta: Don't worry!! She is fine... She has just fainted due to the pain, she'll be up in 15-20 mins.
Dr. Meeta cutted the umbilical cord as Nandini took the baby in a towel.
Meeta: Nandini... U go get her a bath till then I'll finish it with Mukti.
Nandini smiled at it & then slowly walked towards the room attached to Mukti's room. She cleaned the little girls body with a soft wet towel & wrapped a clean white cloth on her body.
Soon she returned to the room & asked Meeta,
Nandini: Meeta..... Can I take her outside till then?
Meeta: Yeah sure!!
The nurse slowly opened the gate & all the people standing outside rushed towards the door & saw Nandini walking out with a cute little child in her arms & tears in her eyes.
She looked up to see Abhi standing with Manik in the front. She walked closer to him & said,
Nandini: Congratulations Abhi... U got what u wanted. Its a girl!!
Abhi slowly took the baby from her arms with tears in his eyes. Nandini side hugged Manik while all the others blessed the little baby. Navya took the baby from Abhi & said,
Navya: She has exactly same eyes as Mukti.
Aliya: But the nose is like Abhi.
Abhi's mother too took the baby in her arms & kissed her forehead. Manik was about to touch her face when nandini hit his hand & asked,
Nandini: Manik... Are ur hands clean??
Manik looked at his hands & then back at Nandini.
Nandini: I m telling u all no one is going to touch this little life without washing ur hands....
All of them laughed at her comment & abhi asked,
Abhi: Nandini... Mukti??
Nandini: She is unconcious... She fainted due to the pain, but don't worry she is fine & will be up any moment now. And yes, she has see her baby before u all!!
Abhi smiled at her & said,
Abhi: Can I go in??
Nandini: Just a minute, let Meeta come out then she'll allow u.
Abhi's mother again gave the baby to Nandini & Meeta came outside.
Meeta: Congratulations Mr. Abhimanyu Kakkad.
Abhi: Thank u Doctor!! Thanks a lot.
Meeta: Nandini..... Let Mukti wake up & then we have to conduct a few tests after 2-3 hours. Make sure that she feeds the baby & takes enough rest before that.
Nandini: Sure Meeta!! Thanks.......
Meeta went away & all of them walked in. Abhi sat next to Mukti while all the others sat here & there.
5 minutes later, Mukti opened her eyes & looked at Abhi. Abhi smiled & kissed her forehead. Mukti looked here & there, everyone smiled at her but her eyes looking for her baby. Slowly Navya moved aside & Nandini walked towards her smiling with the baby in her arms. Mukti smiled seeing her, Nandini came closer & slowly gave her the baby & said,
Nandini: Your daughter, Ahana....
Mukti lifted her head to look at Nandini & smiled even brighter. She kissed the baby's forehead & repeated,
Mukti: Ahana!!
Aliya: Wow... Nice name Nandini.....
Abhi: Beautiful!!
Abhi took Mukti in a side hug & Nandini smiled. He was about to break the hug when Cabir said,
Cabir: Stop!! Abhi stay like that, Yr ek picture toh banta h.... The first time Mukti is holding her baby in her arms....
Abhi smiled at it as Cabir clicked a few photographs....
Nandini sat their with Mukti for some time & then said,
Nandini: Guys... Media has seen u guys coming in, they have been waiting for u all outside. Plz go & give them the news so that they would go soon.
Cabir: Manik... U go yr!! I m not going to go anywhere.
Manik: I m not going alone... Dhruv??
Dhruv: Nandini.. U go with him!!
Nandini smiled seeing them acting kiddish just becoz they wanted to be near the baby. With this Nandini & Manik walked out to meet the media.
As soon as they came out, they were surrounded by the reporters.
Reporter 1: Manik Sir is it true that u all are here as Mukti madam is gonna give birth to her child soon.
Manik: Yes!! But-
Reporter 2: Mrs. Malhotra u r a Doctor in this hospital so does that mean ki u urself will be doing Mukti ma'am delivery.
Nandini smiled at it & Manik replied,
Manik: Guys.... We want to inform our fans that ur dear Mukti has given birth to a sweet little girl baby just an hour back.
All the reporters congratulated them & asked a number of other questions when Manik said,
Manik: Guys this is a hospital & we can't afford to have all this crowd gathered here so I think that will be all for today & don't worry Fab5 will soon address our fans with an exclusive interview & that time we will answer all your questions.
With this Manik & Nandini walked back in. Nandini stopped at the door & said to the guards,
Nandini: Make sure they all are out of here in 10 minutes.
Guard: Yes Doctor!!
With this Manik & nandini moved back to Mukti's room. All were sitting with Mukti & her baby, when nandini entered & said,
Nandini: Enough enough... Now u guys have to let Mukti rest for sometime.
Mukti: Chill na Nandini... I m fine!!
Nandini: No... U hv to rest & anyways Meeta is going to come after an hour or so to conduct a few test to u & Ahana.
Abhi: Yeah... I think u should take a nap for sometime.
Mukti: No I m not sleepy.
Nandini: Ohk u don't sleep but Ahana needs rest & I know no one is gonna let her sleep here so I m taking her with myself.
Nandini picked up Ahana from Navya's arms & turned.
Mukti: But Nandini where r u taking her??
Nandini: Don't worry Madam... I'll take care of her!! And I m just taking ur daughter to the natal care room.
Mukti: I know I don't need to worry about her when u r around.
Nandini smiled at her & walked out after which Mukti also to took some rest. That evening Mukti had all the test which came out to be quite normal. That night Nandini wished to stay there along with Mukti & Abhi but then Manik said,
Manik: I will also stay here with u guys...
Nandini: But Manik only two people are allowed to stay. U go home I'll stay here.
Manik: Ohk so I'll go afterwards... For now I can't trust u that u will take rest. U will keep on checking & rechecking on all ur patients & will not take rest urself.
Mukti: Manik don't worry nothing of that sort will happen, coz Nandini is also going home along with u.
Nandini: But Mukti-
Mukti: Nandini I m fine... U go home I'll be fine with Abhi. No one needs to stay.
Nandini: But-
Mukti: Manik... Take Nandini with u!!
Manik: Ohk!!
Soon Manik & Nandini both left from there. Manik was driving the car when he said,
Manik: Ahana is so cute na!!
Nandini: Yeah!!
They discussed about mukti & Ahana all the way to home. As they reached Nandini walked out of the car, towards the door & entered when suddenly Manik picked her up in his arms.
Nandini: Manik!! What r u doing??
Manik: Taking u to the room/
Nandini: Manik put me down, I can walk.
Manik: I know u can, but today I'll not listen to u coz I m very very happy.
Nandini smiled at him & then said,
Nandini: Manik don't forget Daniel & Nyra are also at home.
Manik: Its 11 pm they must be sleeping so chill....
Manik walked up towards their room... Nandini was teasing him about something, pulling his cheeks & laughing at him. Then finally they entered the room. Just then Daniel came out from behind a pillar & called some1.
Daniel(on phone): Are u ready to do it??........ Good!!....... Yes, wait for my call tommorow & then do as I told u... And yes don't ever try to contact me after the work is done......"
He disconnected the call & then said,
