It had been a week since Megha was at her mother's. Her mother was much better than before but since Megha missed Mansi and her mother a lot, she decided to stay for a few more days.

"That's not fair! You are my wife! We are supposed to be together."

He whined making Megha chuckle at his stupidity.

Today she and Pooja had an event outside college. Shivam had bunked his lectures to be with Pooja since he was in no mood to study.

After their event they were coming back to college when Megha suddenly fainted making Pooja shriek and Shivam scared.

They picked her up and quickly sat in an auto and took her to the hospital.

They called each one of their friends but seemed like everyone was in class because no one answered.

So they left a message on their Whatsapp group.

Doctor examined Megha and Pooja and Shivam waited outside. The doctor came out and asked them.

"Is she married?"

They shook their head and she asked again.

"Any boyfriend?"

They nodded and she said.

"She is 3 weeks pregnant."

Pooja's eyes widened and she looked at Shivam. Since, none of them knew about her marriage with Nikhil because they decided that they invite them at their place and would tell after Megha comes back home.

Soon everyone came rushing probably after reading the message. Nikhil was the first one to arrive. He looked like someone had snatched his breath from him. His hair disheveled and his filled with fear and worry.

"Where is she?"

He asked as soon as he saw Pooja and Shivam.

"Armaan kaha hai?"

(Where is Armaan?)

Pooja asked not bothering to reply. This made Nikhil angry but he controlled himself. He needed to see Megha right now.

"I don't know. Just tell me where is she."

"Just call that fucker here!"

Shivam whisper yelled and Nikhil asked gritting out his teeth.

"What the hell has happened? Kya Armaan Armaan laga rkha hai?"

(What is this Armaan Armaan?)

"She is pregnant!"

Pooja whisper yelled and Nikhil's eyes widened. 

"Where is she?"

He whispered and this time Pooja pointed to the room behind her. He ran there without another word.

They followed him looking extremely confused.

Megha was sitting on the bed with a smile on her face and her hand caressing her stomach.

She looked up hearing the door open and her smile broadened seeing her husband.

Nikhil slumped against the wall and exhaled in relief. He looked at her and walked to her with fast steps.

He hugged her tightly making Pooja and Shivam look at him wide eyed.

"Hamara baby!"

(Our baby!)

Megha whispered and Nikhil kissed all over her face. Pooja and Shivam now looked ready to faint out of shock and they almost did when Nikhil kissed her lips softly.

"Koi hume batayega ho kya rha hai?"

(Will someone tell us what is happening?)

Shivam asked and Nikhil and Megha looked at the two who were looking back at them wide eyed and open mouthed.

Before they could answer Mansi and Rahul came running in.

"Di!"

Mansi shouted and ran to hug her sister.

"Kya hua aapko? Aap thik ho na? Kya hua tha?"

(What happened to you? Are you ok? What had happened?)

Megha smiled and shook her head.

"Mai thik hu. You are going to be a maasi."

(I am fine.)

Mansi looked at her wide eyed and suddenly burst out squealing.

"Yayyyy! I am so happy. Congratulations di! Congratulations to you too!"

She giggled and congratulated both Megha and Nikhil.

"Guys! Please enlighten us too!"

Rahul asked looking from Mansi to Megha to Nikhil.

Mansi told them everything and everyone was beyond shocked.

"Saalon! Itni badi baat chhupai tum logon ne."

(Morons! You hid such a big thing from us.)

"Shut up! Don't curse!"

Both Nikhil and Megha shouted together and he immediately got mum.

Armaan too came and looked at Megha guiltily.

"Congratulations! And I am really sorry!"

Megha smiled and said.

"Aaj hamare life ki ek nayi shuruwat hai toh purani saari baatein bhul kr shuru se shuru krte hai. Mai koi bhi purani baat yaad rakhke iss life ki shuruwat nhi krna chahti."

(Today is a new beginning of our lives and I want to start this forgetting every old thing.)

She said with her hand on her flat belly.

Everyone smiled and congratulated the two one by one. Nikhil informed their families. Megha's family came in an hour while Nihil's family reached in the evening.

Everyone blessed the couple and prayed for the baby's safety and health.

Nikhil's mother decided to stay with them since both Nikhil and Megha did not know what to do during such a time.

Time passed by quicker than the two thought.

Megha was six months pregnant when her final year exams happened.

All of them did pretty well and passed by with good marks.

All during their graduation ceremony Megha was pouting because she was the only one with a belly and she looked fat according to her.

"You don't look fat meri jaan. You are carrying our baby. Ye toh uska weight hai na."

(Its his weight.)

Nikhil tried to coax her through his weird logics which strangely worked.

Megha smiled and kissed him making him grin like a fool.

It was her ninth month now and she was due anytime.

Nikhil was sleeping when he heard Megha calling him trying to wake him up.

He woke up with a jolt and looked at her worried.

"Is it time? Gaadi nikalu? Mummy ko uthata hu."

(Shall I get the car? I'll wake mumma.)

He stopped when he heard Megha giggling. 

"Kya hua?"

(What happened?)

He asked confused and she smiled cutely and said.

"Mere liye fridge mai se aam le aao."

(Get me mangoes from the fridge.)

Nikhil groaned but got up nonetheless. This happened everytime. She would wake him up in the middle of the night and he would wake up extremely worried and then she would cutely demand something or the other.

Nikhil got her mango and she ate that with gusto.

After eating all of it she rested her head back and rubbed her belly like a satisfied cat.

Nikhil pecked her head and went out to keep the plate in sink. When he returned he saw Megha sitting on the edge of the bed holding the bedsheet with a pained expression.

"Nikhil!"

She cried as a hot liquid travelled down her belly.

Nikhil's eyes widened realising that it was actually time for their baby to arrive.

He ran and knocked on his mother's room. They had shifted to a two room apartment soon after the news of her pregnancy.

Nikhil's mother helped Megha and Nikhil quickly got the car.

They reached the hospital and Megha was taken to the delivery ward.

After a good 4 hours of labour, Nikhil finally heard a soft wail and his eyes teared up.

The nurse came out with the baby and handed it to Nikhil.

"Congratulations its a boy! The baby and the mother both are healthy."

He went to Megha and showed her the baby and she smiled tiredly.

"I love you Nikhil."

She mumbled before drifting into sleep.

Nikhil kissed the baby and Megha's head and thanked God for everything he had bestowed upon him.

He could not have imagined his life to be any better than this.
