"Mihir!"

Anushka moaned and her mouth parted in pleasure as she neared her climax.

"Fuck! Anushka! Baby I'm cumming."

He groaned as his pace fastened and both of them panted heavily as they reached their highs.

Her chest heaved heavily and she carefully turned to her side to face him.

He had a satisfied smile on his face as he looked at her.

She traced the screen with her fingers and whispered.

"I miss you."

He looked at her with a smile and said.

"I miss you more baby. Tumhe aur baby dono ko."

(Both you and our baby.)

He said and she smiled with tears in her eyes.

She was in her ninth month and because he couldn't take care of her alone in Mumbai she had come to Delhi when she entered her seventh month.

Its been almost two months since the two have met and she missed him terribly.

She could take care of her physical needs but what about her emotional and mental needs. She needed him.

"Aapko chhuti nhi mil skti kya?"

(Won't you get an off?)

She asked sniffing and he sighed sadly.

"Abhi possible nhi hai. I'll be there near your due date."

(Not possible right now.)

"Lekin usme toh abhi do hafte hai."

(There is two weeks in that.)

She cried and he sighed again.

"Jaan stop crying. Mai kuch nhi kr skta iss cheez mai. Please be strong. For our baby if not for me."

(I can't do anything about it.)

She sniffed wiping her tears and nodded cutely making him smile.

She heard a knock on the door and realised that her mother-in-law would be here. She quickly disconnected the call after bidding him a bye and wore her clothes properly.

Her mother-in-law entered with a water bottle and kept it beside Anushka's side table.

Since she had started having false alarms her mother-in-law slept with her just in case.

A few days later Anushka woke up in the middle of the night feeling uneasy. The baby was too active.

She drank water to calm him down but in vain. She placed the bottle on the side table but it fell on the floor making a loud noise.

Her mother-in-law woke up due to the disturbance and looked at Anushka sitting on the edge of the bed.

"Kya hua bete?"

(What happened?)

"Pta nhi mummyji. Aaj bhut active hai."

(I don't know. He is too active today.)

She said uneasily and she rubbed her back to relax her. Anushka clutched the bedsheet as she felt a contraction.

She yelled in pain and a tear slipped her eye. Her mother-in-law continued rubbing her back but it was getting painful by the time.

"Iss baar bhut dard ho raha hai mummy."

(Its paining a lot this time.)

She seemed to understand what happened and said.

"Anu beta it's time. Mai tumhare papa ko uthati hu. You wait here. Himmat rkh haan. Mai abhi aayi."

(I will wake your father. Be strong. I am coming.)

She said and ran out to wake her husband. Anushka wanted Mihir with her but it wasn't possible.

She was being driven and were in the car when she asked.

"Mummy Mihir?"

"Call kr dia usse. Agli flight se aa rha hai."

(I called him. He is coming from next flight.)

"Mujhe baat krni hai."

(I want to talk to him.)

She dialled Mihir's number which he picked up instantly.

"Haan mumma kya hua all okay?"

(Yes mumma what happened?)

He sounded panicky. Anushka cried and said.

"Mihir! Please jaldi aaiye. Its paining a lot."

(Please come fast.)

"Shh jaan! I am really sorry. Mai jaldi se aa rha hu. Be strong meri jaan. Please."

(I am coming quickly.)

He whispered and she nodded closing her eyes in pain. She had to do this. For their baby.

The next few hours were too hectic. For everyone. Mihir's flight landed four hours later and he immediately rushed to the hospital.

On the way he met his mother and was informed about his babygirl. He was a father. Of a girl.

His eyes teared up as he entered the room where they were sleeping.

He first kissed Anushka's head and whispered a thank you. He then moved to the crib beside her bed and a sob escaped his lips as he saw her.

She was so small and so fragile. He carefully picked her up and sat on the sofa with her in his arms.

"Papa loves you so much princess."

He whispered and kissed her forehead softly as if anything would hurt her if he applied to much pressure.

Anushka woke up and looked around. She saw Mihir sitting with their daughter in his arms.

"Mihir?"

He got up excitedly and went near her.

"Anushka look! Our babygirl!"

She chuckled and asked.

"Kab aaye aap?"

(When did you come?)

"Teen ghante pehle."

(3 hours back.)

He replied and she looked at him.

"Aap teen ghante se isse lekar baithe hai?"

(You have been sitting with her since 3 hours?)

She asked and he nodded like an excited smile.

"Ye hai hi itni pyaari. Mann kr rha hai dekhta rahu."

(She is so pretty. I jus want to look at her.)

He helped Anushka sit so she could nurse the baby and handed her to Anushka.

She smiled and kissed her nose and Mihir round his arm around her giving her support to lean on him.

He was happy. He had his whole world in his arms. His little girl and his woman.

15 days later the naming ceremony was done and she was named 'Aradhya'.

"Tum log kyu nhi chal skte mere saath?"

(Why can't you guys come with me?)

He asked. His paternity leave was over and he had to go back to Mumbai. He wanted to take Anushka and his daughter too.

"Hum ek mahine se pehle kahi nhi jaa skte ghar se bahar."

(We can't step out of the house for atleast a month.)

She said making him roll his eyes.

"Please don't tell me this is another one of the superstitions."

"Nhi baba superstition nhi hai. There's a logic. She is too small and my body is too weak. Hum dono ko infection ke chances bhut high hai."

(Its not a superstition. We both have high chances of infections.)

He nodded making an 'o' face.

He was about to place a sleeping Aradhya on the bed but Anushka stopped him.

"I want to sleep in your arms tonight. Just for some time please. Bas do ghante."

(Just two hours.)

She pleaded and he nodded putting Aradhya in the crib. He went to bed and then slept hugging her.

People forget that a lady needs her husband emotionally and physically even after becoming a mother and sometimes prioritising yourself in front of your kid is OK.
