Vardhan pov -
Few weeks later ......

Vardhaannn please aaj mat jaaye office ......Ek din nahi jaayege to kuch ho nahi jaayega .......She whined making me chuckle.

I have a very important meeting today . But I promise I will come early....okay ....I tried to negotiate making her pout .

Mene aapse khabi nahi kaha rukne k liye but Aaj keh Rahi hu first time to Ruk jaao please ......she said making puppy eyes .

Badam khaya Karo .....tum pehle bhi keh chuki ho or mei ruka bhi hu .....I said wearing my watch .

To phir Aaj bhi ruk jaao .....she held my arm .
I have prior commitments and if I postpone the meeting at the last moment...it will look highly unprofessional...I said cupping her face and pecking her nose .

Jaao yaha se .....just leave .....She pushed my hands away being stubborn and it angered me .

Watch your tone and mind your words . If I am not saying anything doesn't mean you will disrespect me .
Itni der se bol Raha hu important hai Jana ...I will be back early but nahi samjh aa Raha hai tumhe .

And dare you to cry now ....I warned her but she cried nonetheless.
My phone rang and it was Rahul calling me .

I lashed out on him taking out my frustrations.
I will join the meeting through video call. Make sure you note down everything.....I instructed before hanging up .

I looked at her who was grinning ear to ear and I  rolled my eyes .
Abhi 2 ghante k liye chup bethi rehna ....I said and she nodded .

I got busy in the meeting and she slept getting bored making me chuckle.
After 2 long hours the meeting concluded.

I walked towards her and arranged the pillow comfortably and she opend her eyes groggily.
She patted on the mattress asking me join her .

Let me change first ....I said and walked in the closet.
I laid beside her and she was fast to shift closer to me making me peck her cheek.

Feeling bored after half an hour I slipped out of the bed and picked my car keys and left to bring Amu from school as it's already 12pm.

I waited for Amu outside the school and she ran to me excitedly as she spotted me .
Daddyyy luk what I hav made.....she said showing me a paper .

Wow .....you made these ....I said trying not to laugh and  offend her and she bobbed her head proudly.
Kishhh and Niya asoo help me .....she told me and I appreciated their team effort.

She narrated me about her day at school and what she learnt as we drove  back  home .

Ma'am said I m gud gurlll and gav me stal and I eat  pomegnat and sharrr with Niya and Kishh ......and I bok my pencillll asooo ......Amu told me .

I could only laugh at her eventful day and she grinned too making me kiss her chubby cheeks.

Dadiiiiiiiii....she ran to maa with her painting as we entred the house .
She will show it to everyone and then will ask me pin it to the soft board as always.

Sandhya changed her clothes and we had lunch together.
Amu slept after that as it was her afternoon nap time while maa and she got busy in gossiping boring me to the core .

Maa also left to her room and my dearest wife turned to me .
Kya hua ....she asked and I huffed.
If you ever asked me again to stay back for nothing, I will kill you ...I stated and she  giggled.

I left to the study room to check the reports Rahul has sent me an hour before while she went to the room .

Sandhya pov-

I laid beside Amu scrolling my Instagram when I felt a slight discomfort and I just ignored it as it happens sometimes.

I felt a slight wetness and my eyes widened.....My water broke.
But my due date is next week.

I called Vardhan immediately knowing that we have to rush to the hospital as the ache was building up .

Vardhannnn.....c_come to the r_room fast please .....I spoke over the phone .
Ahhhhhh ....I cried out feeling a sudden cramp .

Within the next minute Vardhan entered and rushed towards me .
Heyyy ...what happened ....he patted my cheek making me open my eyes .

My water broke.....I said and he held my palm in between his hand .
Amu also woke up hearing the commotion.

Mummaaaa .....she called me coming near me .
Let me call Maa ....he said and went out of the room .

I could hear him screaming in the hall and Amu patted my cheek asking me why I am crying.

Come ...let's go ....Vardhan came to me followed by Maa ..
Maa you stay with Amu....I am taking her to the hospital...Vardhan said to Maa and she nodded .

Maa and Vardhan helped me to settle in the car and Maa also kept my bag beside me . Amu started crying seeing us .
Vardhan asked the Driver to take us to the hospital fast .

He kept on consoling me on the way to hospital while informing Vaani Di and Vihaan about the same .

We reached hospital and Vaani Di was already present there .
Soon I was shifting to a room and Vaani Di made me wear the gown while Vardhan left to get the formalities done .

Vaani Di checked me and asked the nurse to start the saline inserting a cannula on the back of my hand .

Vaani Di .. Is everything all right I asked .
Yes everything is normal.....don't worry.
Vaani Di instructed the nurse and left as Vardhan came back .

I felt a bit relaxed after after sometime as the pain becomes a bit bearable.
Vardhan sat beside me caressing my arm and kissing my back of hand occasionally.

After an hour Vardhan bought some juice for me and I had it unwilling as he was continuously insisting me.
Maa also came with Vihaan leaving Amu with Dad .

How are you feeling beta ....Maa asked and I nodded .
Vardhan left the room as Maa sat beside me .

I started feeling cramps and Maa asked the nurse to call Vaani Di .
Vaani Di came and checked me once again .

It's will take some time for the dilution ....but I guess the labour has started already...she asked me few questions about the intensity of pain and interval of cramps .

After an hour or so the cramps intesified and the pain was becoming unbearable.
Maaaaa......I cried out holding Maa's hand tightly.
Maa massaged my stomach a bit trying to comfort me but it was not helping at all .

Vardhan also came back and asked Vaani Di to do something about the pain .
No Vardhan ...we can't give her painkiller or something.....she said .

Now the contractions begin and pain aggrevated. Nurse started the prepration and asked everyone to leave the room except Vardhan as he can stay beside me .

Vaani Di wore her gloves , spread my legs and tied them to the paddles attached to the bed .
Ahhhhhhh....I cried out as a strong contraction occured .

It's time ....The head is visible....Vaani Di said .
I cried out due to the pain and Vardhan held my hand trying to encourage me .
Push Sandhya....Vaani Di asked me .

I tried but the Pain was too much .....
Ahhhhhh ....I can't ......please......ohhhhhhhh.....Vardhannnn m.........I was screeming due to the pain and I could see Vardhan was panicking too .

Vaani Di was asking me to push ....the contractions became frequent and I screamed.
Do something......she is dying in pain here .....Vardhan yelled losing his calm.

Don't sceam Vardhan ....it's normal ..... Sandhya please..push .....Vaani Di encouraged me and A nurse started massaging on my stomach putting the pressure downwards.

I could feel my wall tear up and I screamed on the top of my lungs .
Yes One more push and the baby will be hear ....you are a brave women Sandhya.....Vaani di said .

Yes....you can do it ....just push it meri jaan .....for our baby ....Vardhan said cupping my face and I could see he is on the verge of crying .

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh ......I screamed loudly and fall back on the bed as a sudden relief washed over me and we heard a shrill cry of our baby .

Congratulations guysss....it's a Boy .....I heared a faint voice of Vaani Di and smiled .
Vardhan kissed all over my face and I could see how happy he looks and I closed my eyes exhausted.

Vaani Di kept the baby on my chest and he stopped crying and I smiled amidst the tears looking at his small figure and kissed on his forehead.

Later Vardhan took him in his arms and kissed on my forehead and I felt asleep.

Vardhan pov -

I took the little bundle of joy in my Arms and looked at him with my blurred vision.
Daddy loves you my boy ....I whispered with a smile.

I took him outside. Maa and Vihaan rushed to me and ai could see how emotional they are .

Maa took him in her arms and read some prayers thanking God to bless us with him .
Vihaan hugged me tightly and I wrapped my arms around him too .
Vikram , Akshita , Aakash , Vedika came at the same time too .

How is Sandhya...Maa asked me .
She is fine . She slept feeling exhausted and will be shifted to the normal ward in an hour or two.

The nurse came and took the baby for some tests .
I should go home now ....will come back with dinner ....Maa said to me and I nodded .

I was overwhelmed with the emotions. For a moment I felt like my heart will come out of mouth seeing her screaming and crying in pain .
Indeed women's are strong ....much stronger then men .
I was out of the town during Amu's birth so I didn't knew one has to go through so much of pain .
They go through so much to bring a new life to the world .
Giving birth is no less then a miracle.
My respect for women increased after witnessing this phenomenon.

Sandhya got shifted to the normal ward .
Everyone met her briefly and left .
I walked towards her  and kissed her forhead making her open her eyes .

Thankyou so much my love....I said and she smiled at me .
I love you ....I said pecking her lips .
I love you too....she whispered caressing my cheek .

Do you want to eat something...I asked her and she nodded in No .
Is it still paining somewhere....I asked her settling on the chair beside her bed .
It's just a mild pain but more then that it feels like someone sucked all the energy out of me ....she said making me chuckle.

We heard our boy crying and a nurse entered the room  with him in her arms .
Ma'am it's time for the feed ....she said and I stood up .
She adjusted the bed and gave the baby in Sandhya's arm .

She left after asking if we need some help but Sandhya shook her head.
I helped her in opening the gown button and she gave the nipple in baby's mouth .
He tried to suck it but then started crying.

The milk is not coming out ......it's difficult for him to suck hard .... Sandhya said with a frown and looked up at me .

Let me do it ....I said and she nodded .
I bent down making sure not to hurt her baby and sucked on her nipple hardly making her hiss .
I bite on it to make the milk come out and she cried softly .

I wipped my mouth smirking at my wife who slapped my arm with rosy cheeks .
The baby latched on her nipple making us smile .

Don't you need my help with the other one....I asked and she chuckled shaking her head .
Abhi k liye....No thanks ....she said .

How cutely he is having his milk ....I said admiring my little boy .
Where is Amu.... Sandhya asked .
She is at home . I have asked maa to bring her while coming to the hospital...I said and she nodded .
