Being The Sheikh's Queen

CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR

Farzana stood in front of the table placed in their room which held a kettle,bottles,baby formula and the machine that she used to sanitize the bottle.She begun to make Ayesha a bottle when she heard shuffling next to her,she looked from the side of her eye and saw Ridwaan watching her closely.

"Do you need something,Ridwaan?" She questioned as she poured the water into the bottle followed by the baby formula.

"I'm just looking to see how you make the twins formula.You know,just in case I need to make it for them.Do the twins take the formula differently?"" He answered with a shrug and Farzana looked at him,shaking her head.

"Nope,it's the same for both of them." She then explained to him as to how she made the babies formula before turning to him,"Then just put a little on the back of your hand to see if it's too hot.If it's too hot just fill that bowl," She pointed to a bowl on the table,"With cold water and let it rest there for a couple minutes then give the baby the bottle."

"But if she's hungry won't it take long?" He questioned as he followed Farzana to the bed where Ahmed played with Ayesha and Hafsa.

Farzana smiled at him as she reached for Ayesha who held out her hands for the bottle,"Then you can put it in the small fridge that is under the table and it will get colder faster." Farzana held Ayesha in her arms as Ayesha put the bottle nipple in her mouth,"Bismillah hir Rahman hir Rahim."

Ridwaan nodded his head,"Okay."

"Mama,dada when are we going for our picnic?" Ahmed asked from where he sat next to Ayesha on the bed.

"Let Ayesha just finish her bottle then we'll go,Ahmed."

"Okay,daddy."

Soon Ayesha was done,Farzana sent Ahmed to go put on sneakers while she herself did the same and Ridwaan prepped the baby carriers that would fit into the pram.He placed them into the pram as Farzana went to wear her hijab.One thing he had noticed about Farzana was that no matter how out of the room she went,even if it were just to the lounge that sat a couple doors away she always put her hijab on.In there five days at the holiday home not once had he seen her leave the room without her hijab on or around her neck.No one especially no man would come upstairs unless they were specifically called but when he had told Farzana that she had justified herself by saying that accidents happen and she did not want to risk it.

When Ahmed returned from his room with his shoes on and Frazana had finished putting the last pin on her hijab,Ridwaan picked up Hafsa's carrier while Farzana went for Ayesha's carrier.They walked out of the room,through the quarters and down the stairs.They reattached the carriers to the pram,one staff member walked out holding a basket and a blanket.

"Sayida,here is the picnic basket you requested and a blanket." The staff member told Farzana with a smile as she took it from her.

"Jazakallah,Umayma." Farzana replied with a smile.She put the blanket to hang off the pram handles and she held the picnic basket in one hand while Ahmed took hr other hand.They walked towards the patio doors,Huzaifa pushed the pram allowing Farzana and Ahmed to walk before him down the ramp.

"Weeeeeee." Ahmed said as he let go of Farzana's hand and ran the ramp with his arms wide open.

"Ahmed,be careful." Farzana said as she watched him closely,only smiling with relief once he was right at the bottom.He turned to Farzana with a bright smile.

"I'm fine,mama."

"I can see that,baby." They waited for Ridwaan who was soon next to them.

"We can go towards the olive groves,there is some nice shade there." Ridwaan told Farzana who only nodded as she watched Ahmed walk ahead.They soon entered the olive grove that was no doubt beautiful.Farzana followed Ridwaan to a large olive tree and came to a stop with him.Farzana requested Ahmed to hold the picnic basket and then she reached for the blanket.Farzana laid down the blanket while Ridwaan took the baby carriers out of the pram and put them on the blanket.Ahmed came to sit next to her as she took Hafsa out of the baby carrier and sat her on the blanket while Ridwaan did the same to Ayesha.Ahmed grabbed something from his pocket,moving away from Farzana and Hafsa on the other end of the blanket.
