Abhishree's POV

Motherhood is the best feeling they say. They are right! 

The feeling of being a mother, of bringing a new life is something that cannot be explained. It can only be felt and experienced.

Earlier I used to loathe being a woman and cursed God for making me a woman. But now, experiencing this journey and these feelings, I feel blessed to be born a woman.

Earlier I used to think that I am not made for all this stuff, that I am not made for love. But now, I think I can LOVE. I can be LOVED.

Also,  I think I am falling in love with my husband now. Earlier I never felt anything with him. It was numb when we were together. But now, even if he comes near me or kisses me, I feel what they call the butterflies in the stomach. 

Literally, it was just yesterday that it happened again.

I don't know whether it is going to be a boy or girl but one thing is sure, he/she is going to be their father's chamcha.

Whole day he creates a havoc inside me and the moment he would hear his father's voice he would go silent.

Same thing happened before he came.

The baby was continuously kicking and moving around but the moment he heard Raunak ji's voice.

"Hello my baby. Mumma ko tang toh nhi kia na."

(You did not disturb mumma right.)

He went silent as if nodding obediently inside.

"Aap na yahi ruko. Aapke aate hi shant hota hai. Nhi toh andar football ground bana rakha hai isne."

(You stay here. He gets calm when you come. He has made a football ground inside.)

I said pouting and Raunak ji chuckled.

"Mera bas chale toh ruk jaau."

(If it were up to me I would stay.)

He said and planted a soft kiss on my lips. He pulled back a few seconds later and damn! That 5 second kiss made my heart flutter. 

I looked at him dazed and he chuckled again.

Maybe it is because I am very hormonal nowadays. I don't whether it is love or just-

Owww! He kicked again. 

Okay papa ke chamche! I love your father. Happy!

Nothing. I think he is happy.

I smile and caress my belly. I think I do love him. 

It is not just hormonal. We have not done anything since we found out that I am pregnant. He kissed me and that too for a few seconds.

Maybe I do miss him and that's why!

Argh! This is so confusing. I don't know.

I huff and sit back with my arms crossed in front of my chest.

I look at the time. I sigh. There is still time for him to return.

I decide to call mumma to pass my time.

Just as I get up to bring my phone, I feel a sharp pain in my stomach.

Oww! I think he kicked real hard this time.

I caress my belly and smile. I moved forward and another sting of pain.

I think I am having false contractions.

I sit down and take deep breaths.

I clutch the bedsheet tightly as the pain only increases.

"Mu-mummyji!"

I call for mummyji somehow. I hear her voice saying that she is coming.

She enters after a few seconds and sits beside me.

"Kya hua?"

(What happened?)

"Bhut dard ho rha hai."

(Its hurting a lot.)

A tear leaks my eye. The pain is getting unbearable now.

I clutch my belly as I feel something warm running down my legs.

"Abhishree! Its time beta. Suniye!"

She called papaji and he came inside running.

Mummyji asked him to get the car ready and she helped me up.

We settled in the car and papaji started driving.

I held mummyji's hand and mumbled.

"Raunak ji?"

"Call kr dia usse. Wo direct hospital hi pahuchega."

(I have called him. He will reach hospital directly.)

She rubs my hand and I take deep breaths.

Raunak's POV

I got papa's call saying that Abhishree has went into labour.

Leaving all my work I quickly ran towards the hospital.

When I reached she was already inside the ward.

I ran towards mumma papa and asked if she was alright.

I heard her screams and my heart constricted.

All this is because of me. We are not having another baby!

We wait outside the ward. I close my eyes trying to calm myself but her painful screams are doing something to me.

A few minutes later, we hear another loud wail. I open my eyes and stand up immediately.

Our baby! Is here. Tears form in my eyes unknowingly.

Mumma papa hug me and all of us have huge smiles on our faces.

A few minutes later, the doctor comes out and informs us that we have a little girl. 

My baby! My daughter!

I ask about Abhishree and she tells that she is tired and is resting right now.

The nurse brings the baby and hands her to me.

I smile with tears as I hold her in my arms. God! She is so small and pink.

My little Abhishree!

Mumma goes with the nurse for the general checkup while they shift Abhishree to the other ward.

I sit beside her and caress her head. She looks so tired.

I kiss her head and hold her hand. My love for her has increased manyfolds. She went through so much pain to bring our daughter into this world.

Mumma came back with my princess and I took her in my arms again.

I could look at her whole day. She is so cute and so pure.

After some time Abhishree stirs and wakes up.

She looks at me and I help her sit.

She looks at our daughter and tears form in her eyes.

"Raunak ji-"

She becomes overwhelmed with emotions and I wrap my arms around her.

"I know. I can feel it too. Our daughter Abhishree! Our little princess."

She turns to me and kisses my lips not caring about the other people looking at us.

"I love you Raunak ji. I love you so much."

Oh my God! I feel like I will die of happiness today. First my daughter and now my wife confessed that she loves me.

I cup her face and kiss her again. We kissed until a nurse came and asked us to stop because it was making other people uncomfortable. 

I smiled sheepishly and muttered a sorry while Abhishree bowed her head in embarrassment.

We went home with our daughter the next day.

A week later, the naming ceremony was kept and we named our princess, Kavya.

I think Abhishree was right. She is my princess. She keeps crying and wailing whole day keeping her on her toes but goes quite and starts smiling and laughing as soon as she hears my voice.

I love the attention and love I am getting. Don't tell Abhishree though!
