"Trust the magic of new beginnings"

"Argghh...."

"Jelly bean shift a little mumma needs to button it up." I told my baby huffing loudly and tried to button my jeans.

Finally, it's done.

But the next second my button poped out. I looked down at the floor and my eyes waters. I heard a chuckle behind me.

Two big hands clamp around my eight month big belly with a soft kiss on my nape.

"M..my...jeans..." I stuttered trying to control my tears. Not even a single cloth is fitting me. He buys hundreds of new clothes every month but by the next month they become tight for me.

"No worries scarlet you can wear anything else." He spoke turning me around. His hand caressed my belly and the next moment I felt a sharp kick.

"My baby" he placed a sof kiss on my stomach earning another kick. I shook my head at the daddy baby. Whenever he comes near me the baby starts kicking.

"My mini scarlet" saying this he clapsed his big arm around my body supporting my complete body weight and I felt ease.

He went inside the closet to come with long fluffy sweater in his hand and helped me in changing my clothes not before kissing every here and there.

All these months my life was nothing but beautiful. His love, his care although he never speak out loud but I know there is no bound for the love he holds for me. His scoldings, his panicked face speaks all that roses and chocolates failed to express.

"I am sorry my baby I know you are upset from me but I promise that I will never leave you again." He apologized kissing my lips and then my stomach.

"To whom you are saying sorry?" I asked him. He looked up at me and smiled pointing at my belly.

"Nither me nor the baby is angry from you husband. You only went for a hour that too by my many pleadings." I informed him. He is not going to office from the day of our marriage. When I told him to go he said "I will not leave you alone beside I am on maternity leave."

"It's all okay cara. Anything for you." He said pressing my feet gently. I know he is hiding something from me. From the past three months I had seen him behaving strangely.

He has become more overprotective, more carefull. He never allows me to leave his sight. Even at nights he never sleeps. Is it fear? The same fear which I tries to hide.

Sometimes I cry whole nights due to pain. My back is not supporting me. I don't know why but everyone say my tummy is extra curvy. Sometimes I think what If it will be twins? But the doctor said there is only single baby.

"Don't overthink. I am here we will be fine." He said and lied beside me after finishing the foot massage. Pulling me closer to his chest he started pressing my back slowly.

"In few days we will also have our baby adi. I can't believe my jelly bean will be in my hands." I spoke leaning my back against his chest while he nuzzled his face in my neck.

"Jelly bean...your jelly bean is anything but a bean." he spoke and laughed looking at my stomach.

"Don't laught at my baby aditya. My jelly bean is the most beautiful baby." I told him sternly. He shook his head pecking my lips softly.

"I want to see yaisha."I told him who looked at me and than nodded.

"I will tell yash to come over dinner tommorrow." He said making me smile.

Yash bhaiya and alisha blessed with a beautiful baby girl...yaisha

I remember how he cried holding her. Alisha was in shock to see her baby but soon she also started crying out of happiness. She can't believe she have a baby.

And me..you know seeing both of them crying I also started crying but my beast remain all calm and looked at the baby with a beautiful smile and a dreamy look.

She is six months old and already i am already in love with her. She is little version of alisha.

"I love you.." I confessed letting him know what he means to me. I never forgets to make him remind how much I am in love with this man. Somewhere my communication is important to let him know that he has someone, he has me, all of me.

"Love u more"...he said kissing my forehead and pulling the comforter covering us completely.

.........

He woke up when he felt slight push on his stomach. Opening his eyes he saw mahi's belly pressed against his stomach.

"Why are you kicking baby? Let your mumma have some rest." He spoke caresseing her stomach softly.

He never knew things will be this beautiful. He never wants a baby because he always thought the baby will took his scarlet away from him but here the baby has made their bond more beautiful.

She loves him with every bit of her. He can see she is in pain but always try to hide it with beautiful smile.

"Wake up scarlet"..He mumbled kissing her hairs. She whined and covered her face again.

"Wake up it's time for the walk" he said pulling the comforter down from her face. She opened her eyes and looked towards him angrily.

"Let me sleep"...she said and closed her eyes again. He shake his head and pulled her up in sitting position making her glare at him.

"No escape.." he said and helped her in standing up after taking a quick shower they walked out of their room.

"Don't worry baby when you come out we will play cuddle- cuddle. Mumma and jelly bean will sleep as much as they want" she muttered earning a glare from him. She was walking partially leaning upon him. He laughed because she look like a little teddy bear with short legs.

"It feels like I am going to be father for the second time..." he spoke plucking a rose from the garden.

"What do you mean?" She asked keeping her hands on her hips.

"I already have one hell stubborn baby" he chuckled putting the rose in her hairs and kissed her lips lovingly.

"Adi I am hungry" ..she said panting as soon as he pulled back.

"Let's go have breakfast today you walked for whole ten minutes"...he said noting the time on his phone. She shook her head at his madness.

"You came, Mahi I made your favorite chole kulche. Come sit till then I will call Tej" Her mother in law said while the maids decorated the table with several different delicacies.

"I am here.." Tej interupted his wife and sat not before patting mahi's head.

"When will bhaiya come?" Mahi asked looking towards his husband who was busy in serving her food.

"He will come in two weeks." He said making her pout. Dev and Jiya are in Italy because of business there. It's been four months she had not seen diya.

Later the whole day passed with aditya trying to make her understand that she is not looking like a ballon because laisha on face cam told mahi that mahi's tummy is bigger than Luke's football.

After the whole tiring day she was sitting on the huge couch in the balcony of their room staring at the stars.

"What are you doing outside?" Aditya asked walking towards her worriedly. She stayed quiet not answering his question.

"Scarlet what happened? Do any one told you something? Mahira, she did something?" He asked turning her towards him and then he saw her eyes full of tears.

"What happ...he stopped when her found something placed beside her. He closed his eyes cursing himself for his carelessness.

"This all time you were lying from me? Whenever I used to ask doctor she said everything is going good. Is this the good?" She said and throwed the file on floor.

"Ma...she cut him off.

"Don't talk to me." She snapped wiping her tears with back of her palm but they kept on running.

"I don't know what to say Mr. Arora it seems so unusual to me. Magic or her love towards baby, the reports clearly showed that fetus is extremely weak but it survived.

The baby is growing and is more healthy than regular one. Let's wait for the time of birth because we can't operate her it is gonna be extremely painful.

"What it means doctor? I don't know anything I want both my wife and my baby fine." I threatened her.

"No matter what I say the reports state everything clearly. All I can say is wait, I plan, you plan at the end it's gods plan. I can just wish you luck." She spoke making my heart drowned in an unknown fear.

He looked up and saw her weeping silently. Despite all her attempts of protest he pulled her towards him making her cry on his chest.

"O..our baby adi. My jelly bean it will be fine na? It has to be fine otherwise mumma will die. I won't be able to live without my baby" She said crying uncontrollably. He rubbed her back and wiped her tears.

"You can't be weak not at the point when you needed to be strongest. We had seen very dull colors of life mahi but not anymore. It's the time we have to fight. For our baby for us." She looked up at him. In his blue eyes she only saw the determination and hope.

"But wha...he cutt her off by placing his lips on her.

"I will never break my vow. Our future will be beautiful you, me and our baby."

............

A month later

"Not like this adi." I schooled him taking the knitter from his hand.

"I was doing right scarlet" ...he spoke putting the ice cream box away from me making me pout.

Currently we are knitting socks for our baby. Actually I was doing it but my great husband said my fingers will get tired if I work much and snatched it away from me to do it himself.

My due is two days after and the nervousness and fear is killing me.

"Mahi.." Someone hugged me from behind. I turned back and smiled looking at my bestfriend.

"Aleey..how are you? Where is yaisha?" I asked her happily.

"I am fine and yash is coming with yaisha." I nodded at her and saw her hugging her brother.

"Beast bro"..she said pinching his cheeks. He slapped her hand away and bited her fingers.

"Ouuch..."she jumped in pain and I saw him smirking.

"Hello devil sister" ...he said and ruffled her hairs.

"Aditya"....yash bhaiya said coming inside with little yaisha in his arms.

"Yaisha." I cooed her and she smiled at me with her hazel eyes blinking inocently. I so wanted to take her in my arms but I already have my jelly bean along with me.

Aditya came and took yaisha in his arms. She kept her head on his chest. He is already all in love with his niece.

"Little Cinderella, seeing your mother I believe that you are just like you father." He spoke smirking making alisha's cheeks flare up.

"You" ...he shrugged casually.

"Finally you accepted I am more handsome than you." Bhaiya spoke proudly.

I felt a sharp kick making me clutch my stomach tightly.

"Adi"...he turned back and walked towards me.

"What happened scarlet?" He asked but another strong contraction hited my wall.

"I am feeling wet" ...I spoke and cursed myself. What I said god?

"But scarlet we can't have sex now. That stupid doctor specially warned me when I kissed you in her office." He reasoned growling. He is not understanding.

"Aaree..I mean my water broke..."I yelled at him as the contraction became more frequent. He stopped and looked at me horrifiedly.

"Water broke? Mahi your water broke. That means baby is coming"..he shouted clutching me tightly. Everyone gathered hearing his voice.

"I..I know..Take me to the hospital." I told him unable to stand any more. Bhaiya and alisha made me sit on the couch.

"Tej..Tej baby is coming" ...Mom panicked and shaking dad.

"Payal control. It's mahi not you." Dad made her relax.

"Yash start the car" ..he told bhai and picked me up in his arms walking out. Mom and dad followed us behind.

"Adi..my baby." I panicked as my pain become worse with each pacing minute.

"Everything will be fine cara. When we come back we will be three. Your little jelly bean will be in your hands." He spoke making me smile at the thought.

"Yash drive fast" ..he shouted at bhai who was driving while we are on the back seat with me in his arms.

"Adii... it's paining." I screamed feeling the intense contraction.

"Shh. Don't cry...we will reach fast" He took me out carefully as bhai pulled the breaks.

"Doctor.." he yelled gaining everyone's attention.

"Doctor" ...he yelled gaining everyone's attention. The doctor came running as he already told them to be present there 24/7 a month before.

"It's the time. Although it is earlier but the contraction are very strong." The doctor said and took her inside the labour room.

He walked along with her only to be stopped by nurse.

"Sorry sir, you can't come inside." The nurse spoke politely not wanting to loose her job.

"Why? I am going to have baby and you are saying I can't go inside." He snapped and walked past her towards his mahi....

He panicked when he saw her whole body covered in sweat.

"Scarlet relax, don't panic."He tried to calm her down and doctor placed the IVs.

"Mahi look into my eyes" the doctor told her and she looked in her eyes.

"I want both of you to be safe but please don't starts panicking. Whenever I say push, put your all efforts." She nodded at her words.

He clutched her hand tightly feeling nervous.

"Leave my hand." she screamed.

"Leave my wife's hand." he yelled when he heard someone is holding her hand..

"Adi..leave my hand" ...she plead making him realise he is the one holding her hand.

"Sorry" he pulled back and placed her hand tightly in his. The doctor glared at him.

"Push..."she pushed with all her power but as the wave of pain rushed all her efforts died down.

"Mahi push baby.." he encouraged her wiping the sweat from her forehead.

"Push" ...she again tried but slumped back due to lack of oxygen. Her eyes started becoming dropy making him panicked.

"Mahi push fast. We don't want the baby to turn his head otherwise we will have huge trouble. Push"....the doctor spoke hastily as she saw the baby moving.

"Mahi one last time baby..for us, for our jelly bean. Push baby"..he said placing his one hand behind her back.

With losing consciousness she just heard one thing.

"For us, for our jelly bean"

And with a single push they heard the cry. Cry of her many prayers, belief and love. The voice boomed soothing her every pain and she finally closed her eyes with the sight of same blue eyes but this time of her other piece...

He came!

"It's a boy"

With that he released the breath he was holding from long nine months as a beautiful smile graced his lips.

"My son.."

But his breath caught up when he saw his wife closing his eyes.

"Doctor" ..he yelled at the doctor.

"Let her be Mr. Arora. It maybe exhaustion." The doctor said checking her.

Sometimes the doctor thinks how mahi loved someone so mad? He is extreme overprotective over her.

"But she is weak, very weak other than that nothing fatal. Took extreme care of her. I would recommend complete bed rest." The doctor said as the nurse brought the baby after cleaning him completely.

He carefully took the baby afraid of holding someone so little but as soon as he came in his arms he felt the most serene emotion.

Selfless love..

"I am your dad. I am very proud of you. You are so handsome my boy just like me." He said looking the little human who is just like his little reflection.

"Adi ..." he heard mahi's voice and turned towards her and saw her looking at him with beautiful smile.

"My jelly bean" ...she said as a cry of happiness escaped from her eyes. He placed him slowly into her arms.

She felt...what they say complete. Her happiness, her love, her life all in one. The most beautiful gift of their love...

"He is just like you" ...she expressed feeling bubbling happiness. His eyes, his nose everything is just like his father except from the ears which he got from her mother.

The baby smiled beautifully at the sight of his mother as his hand clutched her finger.

Clicked.

They looked up when they saw their whole family looking at them with excitement.

"Omg my grandson" ...payal danced excitedly seeing the little version of his son...

"Now it will be hell amusing to see aditya handling little aditya." Yash said making everyone laugh.

But the beast's eyes are fixed on only one...his scarlet. Once again like each day he fall in love with her.

"Our family" she mumbled kissing her son's forehead...

"Our family"..he said and kissed her forehead.

"Arhaan Aditya Arora" ...he announced loudly making everyone cheer loudly..
