Unnamed Thoughts

13. 'Pregnant??'

Sonakshi stood in front of the mirror staring at herself in a comfortable black dress that fell to her knees and kept her arms covered in sleeves that fell easily over her arms.

Dev was happy that his mare had lost one and won one race. But right now she had something more interesting to tell him. When he walked out of the bedroom in pants and a shirt she turned and smiled nervously.

"Dev, we need to talk."

He stopped combing his hair and looked at her, the tension on her face worried him. "What's wrong, Sonakshi?"

She took his hand and dragged him to the bed, sat him down and then sat down in front of him with his hands in hers. "It's not that something is wrong, Dev. I'm just under a misconception."

"Which is?"

She bit her lip and looked at him. "Could it be possible that I'm pregnant?"

He blinked like a foolish man at her. "Why?"

"Because I am." She smiled now. His face was expressionless and she'd expected just that.
"You're not pregnant, Sonakshi."

"I am pregnant Dev, it's been almost a two months since you seduced me off of alcohol. It's very much possible."

"Are you just teasing me or are you really pregnant?"

"I am." She stood up and sat down in his lap, taking his hand to her abdomen. "Can't you fell the small swelling?"

"I can, but maybe you're just fat."

She turned her face slightly and frowned, "You're supposed to be excited."

"I'm too shocked to be excited Sonakshi. Why don't we go ask mom?"

"Dev?" She pulled him back and wrapped her arms around him. "I'm very much pregnant and I'm sure of it."

"In that case," he picked her up and swung her around nearly screaming in joy while Sonakshi giggled.

"Okay, not this excited."

When he put he down and embraced he was surprised he had tears in his eyes. "I love you."
"I love you too! But I don't understand why you're crying." Amused, he drew her away enough to just look at her. She smiled and wiped his eyes. "Be happy. In less than eight months you'll have to take care of your little baby-"

"Our."

"Our little baby and her mother."

"Her?"

"Or him. Whatever I don't really care if it's a boy or a girl. I care that this baby is ours." She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him closer. "Shouldn't I get something?"

"What do you want?" He whispered closing his mouth on hers. "Is this good enough?" He mumbled drawing her closer than she already as. "I still can't believe it." He touched his forehead to hers, caressing her waist with one hand.

"We should tell Mom and Dad."

"I really thought you would have told Mom already."

"Don't you think it would be unfair to you? And, I've been musing over it since we've gotten here. Now I'm pretty sure. My feet have been swollen for a few days. First I thought it was just too much heels or something. Now I realize that it's not that."

"I can't wait till you're as big as a balloon." He laughed and touched her abdomen again, felt the small swelling. "Super-sized Sonakshi. And I can't wait to tell Viola. She'll be angry and as red as a tomato."

Sonakshi laughed, "That would be a sight to be seen."

"Dev are you guys ready?"

Dev and Sonakshi looked at Jay in the door. "Did I disturb something? Maybe you guys should keep the door closed." He teased.
