'When are you moving in?', she asked while clearing the table.

I turned on the dishwasher and scooped up Maryam who was intent on licking something off of the floor.

She took us up to her condo after the reunion and there I found her daughter. The same girl I met few months back in the park, with Zaki.

I knew they would make beautiful kids and here I witnessed the first. Allah knows how much more beauties were on their way.

After the dinner, we got comfortable in the kitchen with her oh so jumpy toddler while both Musa and Zaid were gone to take care of something.

Well that's what he said.

'I don't know. I'll wait for him to say so.', I managed while tucking Maryam's shirt who was busy in inspecting my face.

'Hi!', she said and grinned showing her new set of teeth.

'Ohh don't worry about him. I know you'll be sleeping next door tonight.', she snickered.

I saw Zasha over Maryam's shoulder and just then Maryam's face poked out of nowhere and she showed her teeth again.

'Hi!', she chimed and I smiled at her while kissing her oh so chubby cheeks.

She was such a darling.

'Well probably not sleeping.', she giggled at her own joke.

Huh?

'Atleast not tonight.', her eyes grew bigger and I gawked at her dumbly.

'Come on!', she rolled her eyes. 'Don't act naive. We all know what you both will be doing tonight.', she laughed and I blushed crimson at the realization.

Fu**
I didn't take it that way.

'Hi!'
I saw Maryam's face again while she was now crouching in my lap to shove her face in mine.

What is it with poking?

'Such an attention seeker.', Zasha huffed.

'No. She is beautiful.', I said and she grinned as If she could understand what I said.

'You don't know.', Zasha shook her head. 'We can't even talk when she's around. All this time she pokes her face in or averts our faces away on her own.', she mumbled and sipped on her juice.

'Aww that's so cute.', I couldn't help but kiss her cheek again who was now busy with my scarf.

'How old is she?', I asked.

'She'll complete her ten months next week.', she murmured and smiled.

Hearing footsteps, she jumped in my lap and babbled something incoherent. She shrieked loudly at the sight of Musa who took her up in his big arms and tickled her small tummy to which she laughed, making the whole condo echo.

'You're not sleepy.', he murmured to her and she babbled in her baby voice something.

He nodded as if he totally understood it.

'But we need to sleep.', he told her and she babbled angrily.

Ohh my gosh...
That's a lot of cuteness that my heart could never hold.

She leapt at Zaid who flew her up in the air making my heart jump.

Ohh my God

Idiot.

'Don't do that!', Zasha gasped while clutching her belly.

He said something in her ear and she made a shocked face to which we all laughed.
