LAYLA POV

Waking up the next morning, I felt someone's eyes on me, I opened my eyes to see Ridwan intensely staring at me with a broad smile on his handsome face.

"Salamualaikum beautiful... How was your sleep " he softly ask me as he caresses my cheek

"Alhamdullilah " I shyly responded

"You have to go bath then we pray fajr together " he says to me softly.

"Okay " I stood up and headed straight for the washroom, within couple of minutes am done and came back into the room fresh and clean.

We prayed fajr together then also read the holy Quran together, later on in the morning, Ridwan insisted he prepare breakfast for me upon all the maids available in this big mansion... How sweet of him, he brought it into our bedroom as we ate together and chat, occasionally he feed me some food in my mouth and I feed him too.

He took some days off from work, as a newly wedded husband, he wanted to spend quality time with me and get to know each other much better.... As days passed by I noticed we had lot of things in common which makes us understand each other more and get to move along quite smoothly though no one is perfect , he is also a funny guy with a good sense of humor, he makes me laugh alot, plus he is very religious which I love about him, I am really blessed that Allah has answered my prayers with regards to the kind of husband I want Alhamdullilah

RIDWAN POV

It has been three month now after we got married and today we decided to go have fun at the beach. We have actually been pretty busy with work, me with my doctrine and business duties and she with her Finance duties at Mrs Zainab company

" I just love nature and most especially the sea side, I love walking on the smooth sand on my barefoot to feel it's texture against my feet " she says to me, walking beside me with our hands laced together

"Yhh nature is beautiful just as you are my Queen " i responsed to her with a warm smile, making her giggle.

"Let's race " she swiftly turns her head to face me and say out loud, squealing excitedly

"Oh so Mrs Ridwan wants to race huh ...i really don't know how fast of a runner you are but I sure do know I will win " I teasingly say to her then chuckled as we now stood facing each other.

" Okay, let's see,  action speaks louder than words " she dares

She suddenly let's go of my hand and begun running so fast... She looks so cute, I just allow her to run for almost a minute before I also pursue her from behind,.... I race fast enough to catch up with her , I finally grab her with my hands encircled around her waist,.. We were both panting heavily then begun laughing out loud, ..i decided to tickle her a bit more then she laughed out so hard, she is just so beautiful and my heart melts when I see her this happy, ...she also begun tickling me, making me laugh uncontrollably, we both fell on the sand and decided to sit and relax a bit

"Wow you are indeed a fast runner my darling, " she finally confirms and accepts.

" I told you " I replied proudly, we relaxed a bit more as we watch the sun set, its so beautiful, luckily the beach isn't crowded today, so there were just few people around.

We chat then decided to head back home , but before reaching home, we stopped by a restaurant to purchase food, since I know we are both tired and will want to rest after prayers... I thought it's best if I bought dinner so she wouldn't be burdened with cooking food for us to eat.

We finally got home then prayed magrib and Isha ( Prayers/Salat) , then showered and ate together, but before going to bed, we decided to watch a movie.

"Baby,..i love you and I had a wonderful time today with you at the beach , " I say to her as she rest her head on my chest.

" I love you too my love, same here " she says to me in a baby tone making me chuckle as she tightens her hands around me, we are actually cuddling on the couch in the mini sitting area in our bedroom,.... I just love her so much and I always thank ALLAH for bringing her as my sunshine in my life, she is my everything.
We went to bed few hours later

The next day, we woke up and prayed fajr then recited the Holy Quran together,  that has been our routine ever since we got married, I realised she loves and is attached to the Quran,  she indeed has a melodious tone which makes me stop whatever am doing to listen to her whenever she recites the Quranb and I am at home ,  she has been helping me with the Quranic recitation so well

After reciting the Quran,  she stood up to go put the Mustaf( the Quran)  on the book shelf, after which she bolted quickly into the washroom to vomit.  I became so worried and rushed into the washroom my self to the check up on her,... She was still vomiting when I got in,  after a minute,  she stops and turns to look at me,  she look so pale my heart dropped in fear.

" What is wrong honey? " I ask her worriedly yet softly

" I really don't know Rid " she replies to me in a shaky tone , she usually uses a short form of my name when she is worried or happy about something,  but at this moment she really looks worried

" Don't worry IN SHAA ALLAH , you be fine, ...come,  get a shower and get dressed okay... We are going to the hospital for a proper check up "  I said to her and went out to make a call to my secretary in order to cancel all my appointments for today at my dad's company, I initially intended to go there today as there were some matters I should attend to,  but seeing Layla like this, had to change my mind,  she is my top most priority,  ...am really suspecting Layla is pregnant but I will like to take her to the hospital for a proper check up and confirmation.

We got to the hospital couple of hours later,  i myself did her check up and took necessary tests which confirmed indeed she is pregnant.

Alhamdullilah I couldn't contain my joy,  am actually the most happiest man on earth right now,  finally the family I have always dreamt of is about to come into reality IN SHAA ALLAH

"My Queen,  you are few weeks pregnant,  Alhamdullilah, we are going to be parents  IN SHAA ALLAH " I excitedly spill it out to her as her lips curved into a wide grin

"What!  Oh my God ! Alhamdullilah!! " she became giddy with excitement then stood up from her chair to hug me so tight, hugging her back in the process,  we are currently in my office,  so there is privacy.

"I love you Layla Abdullah " I tell her with all sincerity

" I love you too Ridwan Harun " she replies with a giggle.

" Now,  am hungry,  your baby in here is already showing his or her true colours,  making mommy famished "  she pouts like  Child as she points to her tummy.

" Don't worry daddy got your back kiddo " I  replied amidst laughter.
