I turned to look at my wife who was already nervously smiling looking at me, I know what you are waiting for Anusha. I’m eager too!

“HAPPY NEW YEAR!” everyone shouted with happiness.

We wished each other silently smiling, holding each other's hand giving a gentle loving squeeze.

While every one yelled in unison, the party poppers burst, the sound of clappings and whistling can be heard from the whole hall.

I pulled her for a short but brief hug before moving towards everyone wishing her and my child first before others and kissed her nose.

“I love you,” I said to both my child and my wife

“We love you too,” she said resting her head on my chest. Then we pulled back and wished everyone.

We ate sweets at the end for beginning a new year with something sweet. I glanced at her who was sitting beside her mother eating the Halwa I passed her.

She was eating so fast and hungrily like a two year old.
She will choke on her bite if she will not slow down any time soon.

As if she realized me staring she turned to me, I actioned her to slow down through my eyes and then she nodded understanding me, showing all her teeth, causing me to chuckle.

And she calls me contagious!

Everyone was busy talking and laughing when she walked up to me and snuggled closer to my side,
“You sure, you want to do this?” I asked her.

If she is not ready then I’ll tell everyone, after all, I’m going to be a father too.

“I-I...you initiate, I’ll continue”

I nodded and turned towards my family,
“Everyone! we’ve got to tell you something” and then everyone’s attention was on us.

Most of the guest have already left, there are only family members with us, my parents, her parents, Sunidhi, and her In-laws.

They stare at us with awaiting eyes, waiting for us to say something. I turned to look at her whose face was looking completely terrified. Causing her to snuggle in me even closer.

What’s up with her being nervous all of a sudden? Is it because of the hormones too?

I heard her muttering- ‘it’s now or never Anusha. Man’s up and you can do this’.

Drama queen!

But I smiled and waited for her to speak,

“There is something that you people should know,” she said after taking a deep breath, moving two steps forward.

Everyone nodded their heads up and down in unison, silence fills over the place just like it happens in T.V. their heads were exactly bobbing like those dolls.
