A LOVE STORY OR NOT PART 2

#69

"Hi Sana, kaisi ho? Dad asks a lot about you!", Dr. Anaya asked as she smiled at Shehnaaz.

Shehnaaz and Sidharth had hurried in the morning to get here for check up and well, for the baby's check up too.

Shehnaaz was too nervous and when Sidharth laid his hand on top of hers, as he drove, she knew that he was too.

It was their first visit to a doctor after her being diagnosed as pregnant and she couldn't wait to know more about that tiny little child.

Sidharth was still in disbelief because of the fact that he and Shehnaaz have created a different human being.

More of his fascination came from the fact that the baby is almost invisible right now and he or she is going to grow inside her stomach.

It was beautiful to even think about his wife, raising their child in her womb for atleast 9 months.

Sidharth had opened the door for her to come out and her heart was ready to burst open due to nervousness and the love for this man.

He took her hand in his and guided her inside, actually she guided him because she had been here, but he walked a bit ahead while holding her firmly.

"Hi Dr. Anaya, I am good. Aap bataiye Dr. uncle kaise hain?", Shehnaaz asked as she sat on the seat that Sidharth had pulled out for her.

"Oh, he is good. Abhi bhi poora din hospital mein hi rehte hain!", Dr. Anaya said as she chuckled and Shehnaaz giggled too.

"Toh batao Sana, body check up or is it your throat again?", Dr. Anaya asked.

"Nhi nhi, actually i took pregnancy test yesterday and it came positive!", Shehnaaz said as she took out the wrapped tests and kept it in front of her.

Dr. Anaya looked at all of them and then smiled, "Congratulations, Sana and Mr. Shukla!", she said.

"Thank you Doctor, Sidharth is fine!", Sidharth said politely and Dr. Anaya nodded.

"Toh ek aur test kar lete hain Sana just to be sure and then one for checking your hCG, haemoglobin, sugar, and we would like to look out for any genetic abnormalities!", Dr. Anaya said and smiled.

Shehnaaz nodded and Sidharth looked as tense as her. "Sana, wo washroom mein there is a gown, wear it and come back. And also, remove your garments!", the doctor said.

"Kya karne wale ho?", she asked weakly.

"We are going to see your baby and maybe listen his or her heartbeat, if he has been formed!", Dr. Anaya said.

Shehnaaz and Sidharth's eyes widened in realisation. They are probably going to listen to their baby's heartbeat for the first time.

The nurse handed Shehnaaz a small cup in order for her ho collect a sample of her pee in it.

Shehnaaz was all lost in something which hadn't even happened yet. She was just thinking about 5 to 10 minutes later during the day.

She is going to hear her baby breath and though, she knew that she had been pregnant only yesterday, it felt like she had known it for years.

Even though she hadn't seen the child yet, she could feel him or her inside her body and that was a feeling she couldn't describe.

Maybe this is what motherhood feels like. It hadn't even taken her a second after the positive tests, to fall in love with her child.

Shehnaaz peed in the small cup and slid into the gown after washing her hands. She passed the wrapped cup to the nurse.

"Shehnaaz idhar leit Jaao. Tumhare husband ke sath mein comfortable ho? Warna inhe bahar bhej denge!", Dr. Anaya said with a smile.
