By 7.30 in the morning, Ahsan had reached the hospital with Aryan, Who came running to me to give me a tight hug.
"Mummy!" He squealed.  "Pappa said i got a baby sister. Yippee!! Where is she? I want to see her right now, mummy" Aryan was super excited. He even refused to go to school.
Ahsan looked at me and i knew the question in his eyes wanting to know about what the doctor said about our little baby. But i had no answers as the doctor hadnt come back nor had the nurses told me anything.
When i shook my head,Ahsan went to see the nurses and the doctor. I played with Aryan while my eyes searched for Ahsans return. I couldn't wait any longer. It was killing me not knowing what was happening with my baby girl.
Ahsan came back much later to me, though it wasnt very long if you looked at the time.
"Ahsan! What did the doctor say? Is she ok? What happened?" I held onto Aryans hand strongly while asking Ahsan.
"Dont worry honey, our princess is Al hamdulilah very fine.  Her lungs arent fully developed so they have put her in the incubator and have placed her on oxygen for a while. But she needs to be in the incubator for about two or so days and she has to remain in the nursery for a minimum of two weeks as she is underweight."
I couldnt believe leaving my baby here for that long. A few minutes later, the nurse on duty brought her to me and asked me to feed her as she was crying.
I looked down at her and i smiled.
She had big eyes, a round face, soft black hair, her cheeks were chubby. Small hands and fingers which immediately held my little finger, small small legs and feet. She was Masha Allah so adorable.
"Masha Allah, she is very beautiful, and she looks just like Aryan." I told Ahsan.
I lowered her down for Aryan to see his baby sister who gave her a big kiss and a hug and wanted to carry her. So Ahsan made him sit near me and i placed her in his small arms. Then Ahsan took her from me as he wanted to make adhan in her ears.
He looked at me and said a small thank you for giving him a baby girl and we together said Al hamdulilah for the blessings Allah had bestowed on us.
He handed her back to me and took Aryan for a walk while i fed her.  Once done, the nurse came and took her as she needed to be put back in the incubator.  I prayed to Allah to give her a long healthy life and that the hospital releases us soon in shaa Allah.

Little did i know that the test for my baby girl and us wasnt over yet..
