"Oh Allah!" Layla exclaimed with her palm covering her widened mouth. For Asaad, no movement, but shock was definitely there, and it was not ready to leave his features.

"Asaad." Layla called with a smile, but he was lost in his chain of thoughts. Finally he managed to crack up a smile.

*****

Asaad sat in his study room, with no other thought but the thought of having a baby. I mean having a baby with your brother's meant-to-be wife, wasn't that bad.....right?

right?!!

The sound of his phone caught his attention. It was his dad, he sighed how in hell I'm I going to tell dad.

Despite the fact that he was nervous he still answered, and he learnt the hard way, that lying was definitely NOT an option.

"Salamualaikum." Asaad greeted.

"Wa'alaika. How is everything go-" Al'amin started.

"Dad, she's pregnant." Asaad sighed.

"Wait what? Pregnant? Asaad it's either you're joking or your head is going to be cut off!" Al'amin threatened.

"No dad, I'm not. I think I should let her know that I'm Asaad." Asaad said, his hand ran through his hair.

"The hell you are! What were you thinking, she thinks you're Ali, damn it!" Al'amin exclaimed.

"That's the thing..... I wasn't thinking dad, I-I don't know what to do. And I'm not freaking Ali!" Asaad exclaimed too, rage taking over, causing him to throw the glass globe on the floor.

"Asa-" Al'amin started but Asaad ended the call. "I'm not Ali! I'm Asaad, Asaad!" Asaad exclaimed, his eyes rose to a shocked Layla.

He sighed and followed her. "Layla!" He called, running to where he knew he will find her. The middle of the maize in the garden

"You really need to change your hiding place." He joked, earning a chuckle from her.

"It's a picnic...you know."She said patting for him sit on the pillow next to her.

"For who?"

"us...and yeah I know what you're thinking, why? right?" She asked confirming his thoughts.

He nodded. "Just cause." She said intertwining their fingers. "Just cause you're my hubby. Just cause you're the father of my child. Just cause you're a person who does not see how awesome, kind,honest and caring of a human being you are." Layla said in her calm voice.

Asaad leaned in to kiss her temple, feeling like the luckiest man in the world.

******

"The match was tight, minute by minute, it was getting more intense and frustrating, as Asaad was one hour twenty minutes fifty-five, fifty-six seconds late, the same goes for zainab's brother.But WHO will be victorious?!! who's car will be the first to be sighted?!!" Zainab said mocking a commentator's tone, with her pitch going up and down.

Their eyes met, and they cracked. "That was really good." Layla commented in fits of laughter. Layla adjusted her sitting position so she won't fall off the silver rail she was sitting on.

The doors opened and James walked out with his manager walking behind him clearly scolding him.

"Just, shut it!" James yelled, obviously pissed. Just then our eyes met. "hey." James said

"Hello." Layla waved a little, same as Zainab, Layla's co-worker. He leaned on the rail next to Zainab, making her shift a little. He liked to flirt with Zainab. a lot.He had the jingles for her.

A/N: pardon the jingle thing, feel free to comment the right word.

Just then a car appeared."It's Ali." Layla said, with relief in her voice. One hour twenty five minutes and thirty seconds was not a small time. It parked, and the driver revealed himself. He walked up to them, and helped Layla down.

"Oh, Ali, sorry....um Asaad these are my friends..."

They exchanged greetings. "Let's wait for zainab's brother, please?..."Layla pleaded.

"sure, but why don't I just drop you off?" He asked as his brow shot up.

"I don't wanna cause any- " Zainab started.

"It's okay." Asaad cut in. "Bye." Zainab said to James, he waved with a little smirk.

******

"These are nice, aren't they?" Layla asked, holding up the white blanket.

"Layla! stop trying to change the subject." Zainab said.

"Fine....I have not gone to the doctors, but I will,so, in the mean time, help!" Layla said.

"what if they're twins?" Zainab shot an eyebrow.

"Don't even start with the what-if's, and besides I have not felt any change in my body, and no bump." Layla said.

"Well, your abs are probably not allowing the baby bump to bump, even-though-I-know-abs can't do that, but please go and confirm, make sure the baby or babies are fine."

"Of course."
