On The Wings Of Dream

Chapter 35: a baby again!!!

Yusrah's pov...

"Oh Good gracious! Bilal but i have to go! I have a lecture and the lecturer might give a test!".

I whined as he dragged me back to bed and hugged me.

"No, you wont go anywhere with a nine months pregnancy. Today is your EDB date, so i wont let you go anywhere, now come here".

I pouted as i flung away my veil and bag and sat beside him.

He hugged me and kissed my cheek.

"Am not going to work either. The other firm in London is holding a meeting on the 24th. Gosh, i have to go".

"What? You will go and leave me?".

"I don't have any option. Abeed called me earlier that it is a very important meeting, so i just have to go as the CEO".

I shrugged and lay on his chest, while he stroke my belly.

I had been having sharp pains in my abdomen since two days ago, but i just kept quiet, because i didn't want to get him worried.

The past year was hell for me. Up till today, it still pained me when i remember how i lost my first baby. The shock, and grief stuck to my mind that i couldn't even brace myself to say anything for the past months, but hearing that i still have hope of being a mother again made me forget my sorrow, and thanks to Bilal, he had tolerated all my attitudes.

I felt damp beneath so i went to check in the toilet and discovered my water bag broke.

"Babe, i think our baby is on the way".

I said, biting my lower lip in pain as i sat on the floor and spread my legs wide apart, my palms on the floor.

Bilal sprang up from the bed and put on his kaftan and got me a long knee length jilbab.

"Get up lets go to the hospital".

He said, trying to raise me up with shaky hands.

"Can we please delay it a little longer".

I said, trying to pretend that am not in pains, but deep down i was just afraid to face the pains of labour again.

"No, just get up".

I refused and forced a smile.

"Just some more minutes OK, stop freaking out".

I said, inwardly biting my cheeks.

He sat down beside me, fanning me with his cap, while i tried pretending that nothing is wrong.

I felt a sharp pain in my back, making me to shout.

"Innalillahi, sorry baby, let me get the car keys!".

He said, running everywhere in the room.

"The keys, the.....the keys are...on, on the table".

I said, gritting my teeth and hitting the tiles with my hands in pain.

"I got it, let me help you up".

And being the strong man he is, he scooped up me in his arms and dropped me right in the backseat of the Mercedes.

This is the second ride to hell, but not as painful as the first.

"Bilal, i ...think i will.... give birth before we reach ....the hospital. Can you please... drive a little slowly....., the bumps ....on the road is...".

My voice trailed away as i felt the head of the baby coming out.

"Bilal, drive faster, the head is coming out!!".
