Maya and Avi are lying in each other's arms after their love making session. Maya is doodling something on his chest, while he is playing with her fingers.

"I want to go for shopping." She asked him out of the blue, making him look at her, bewildered.

"Are you fine, bunny?" He asked, placing his hand on her forehead.

"What happened to me?" She asked, slapping his hand.

"Because you and shopping are like North and South poles of the earth," said Avi.

She twisted her mouth in annoyance and asked him, "Are you coming with me or not?"

"Nope." He said, stressing on the letter P.

"Fine then, I'll sleep in Aashi's room from today and don't you dare try to touch me," she said, getting up from the bed and wearing his shirt.

Avi immediately got down off the bed and wore his boxers and picked her up in his arms, making her squeal, and moved towards the washroom.

"Ahh, you idiot, leave me. Where are the hell are you taking me?" She asked, swaying her legs in the air and slapping him on his chest.

"Bunny, stop swimming in the air." Saying that, he made her stand under the shower and switched on the shower, making them wet.

"Stupid, idiot, monkey." Before she could curse him more, he shut her by placing his lips on hers.

She encircled her hands around his neck and pulled him close to her, while his hands were fondling her curves. She moaned in his mouth as bit her lower lip. Their tongues were exploring each other's mouths and were fighting for the dominance. They broke the kiss and joined their heads, panting hard.

He pulled her shirt over the head and threw it away and caressed the fading love bites given by him before leaving to London.

"They are fading," he said, pouting.

"Don't you dare give me more. You know, how hard it is to hide them," she said, slapping his arm.

"Then, who told you to hide them?" He asked, nuzzling his face in her neck and bit her there, making her hiss. He sucked it, soothing the pain. "They will tell the whole world that you are mine."

"Possessive freak," she said, biting his chin.

"You are becoming violent day by day, bunny," he said, rubbing her body sensually with the body wash.

A moan escaped her lips as he touched her womanhood. She was lost in his touch when he thrust into her, making her scream in pleasure. She threw her head back in rapture as her gave her slow thrusts, and clutched his shoulder for support as she felt weak on her knees.

****************

Both of them came out of the washroom in bathrobes after a hot shower. They moved to their walk-in closet, she picked up his outfit and gave it to him, then she got ready in a mint color saree.

(Their attires)

She was braiding her hair when she felt something cold on her legs. She looked down and saw Avi kneeling down in front of her. He placed her feet on his knee and put anklets on her legs.

What are you doing, Avi? She said, taking her leg back.

Arey, why did you move back?

Why are you touching my legs?

Avi: What's wrong in that? Do you know, I've kissed your legs many times when you are a baby?

Maya: That's different. I was a baby then.

Avi: Come on, bunny, stop being stubborn now. I know you love anklets. Now stop nagging and forward your leg.

She forwarded her leg reluctantly, while he put anklets and kissed her feet.

He then handed her a gift box. She opened it and saw beautiful and delicate nuptial chains in it.

They are so beautiful. Saying that, she pecked his lips.

Now give me my gift. He asked, forwarding his hand.

Maya: Umm, I didn't buy any gift for you. That's why I told you to take me for shopping. She said, making an innocent face.

Fine, we will go after the puja.

She grinned, listening to him, making him look at her doubtfully. But he let it go by looking at her happy face.

****************

Both of them got down and saw everyone waiting for them.

Arpita: Finally! I thought you guys would stick to your room the whole day. She said with a teasing smile.

Maya blushed listening to her, while Avi rolled his tongue around in his mouth and made a poker face.

Sravya: Look, how she is blushing.

And how his ears turned pink.

Maya hugged Avi, unable to bear their teasings while he hugged her back making everyone chuckle.

Stop teasing my babies for now, it's getting late for the puja. You can tease them later.

Avi whined at her and stomped his feet and moved to the puja room. After the puja, they took the blessings of elders and sat in the living room when all the youngsters pounced on them and shouted "Happy birthday". Aashi brought a cake and placed it in front of them. They cut the cake and fed each other first and then fed everyone. Arjun and Nandan looked at each other mischievously and smashed the cake on their faces, making Avi shout at them, while Maya started to wail. Everyone looked at her confused, while Arjun and Nandan thought she got hurt.

Arjun: Pumpkin, what happened? Why are you crying? He asked, sitting in front of her.

Nandan: Yes akka, what happened? He asked, sitting beside Arjun.

Suddenly, she stopped crying and took the leftover cake and smashed it on both of their faces.

Tit for tat, brothers. She said, raising her invisible collar.

Arjun and Nandan made a crying face. While everyone burst into laughter looking at them.

Four of them looked at each other and soon everyone's face was covered with the chocolate cream except the twins. Everyone moved to their rooms to clean their faces.

After sometime, everyone settled to have their breakfast. Janaki served medu vada in Maya's plate, but she pushed it away and said "Janu maa, I don't want to these. I want to eat idli with coconut chutney", licking her lips. Everyone looked at her wide-eyed because idli and Maya were like the like poles of a magnet. When she was a kid, she used to throw lots of tantrums to eat a single idli.

Avi: Bunny, are you okay? From morning, you are behaving weird. First you asked me to take you to shopping, and now you are want to eat idli.

I'm fine. Is there any rule that I shouldn't go for shopping or eat idli. If you don't want to take me, then I'll go alone. You don't need to bother yourself. She yelled at him and left to their room angrily.

What the hell was that? He asked, coming out of shock after seeing his ever so calm pumpkin shouting for a simple thing.

Everyone turned their heads towards Avi, while he looked at them nervously. He winced in pain as Vani twisted his ear.

Can't you sit silently and eat your food? See, how she went away without eating food.

Ayyo, Amma leave me. It's paining.

Vadina, leave him. I'll go and see her.

Vani: No need, he will go. She said, glaring at Avi.

Avi got up from his seat and made his way to their room but stopped in the middle on seeing her coming down. She changed into a comfortable dress and made her way down without paying any heed to him.

She stood in the middle of the living room and called to his mobile. "I'll be waiting for you in your new car. I've placed your dress on the bed, change into it and come down quickly", she spoke without giving him a chance. She moved to the garage and unlocked the car and sat in the driving seat waiting for him.

Soon, he came out running after informing everyone and assuring them that they will have food outside. He sat on the passenger seat, and they drove to the nearest mall. The whole ride was silent as she didn't give him any chance to speak.

They went inside the mall and he was silently following her. She dragged him to a baby store, making him look at her confused.

Avi: Bunny, why are we here? But he immediately shut his mouth as she glared at him.

She shopped some cute baby outfits, shoes and both of them moved out after paying the bill. He finally dragged her to the food court and ordered sandwiches and juice for them. She had them silently as she didn't anything in the morning. After shopping, she told him to drive to Aashi's apartment.

She unlocked the apartment and told him to go inside, telling him that she would come after attending a call.

He opened the door and saw the whole living room decorated with balloons. But what drew his attention was the cake on the table, and the box lying beside the cake. He slowly moved toward the table and picked up the box in his hands, and his eyes brimmed with as he opened the box.

Maya: Did you like the gift? She asked, coming from the back.

He turned around and took her into a bone-crashing hug and kissed her whole face, making her giggle. He lifted her in his arms and twirled around. He put her on the ground and kissed her forehead.

This is the best gift, I've received till now. Thank you so much, bunny. Saying that, he took her lips into a passionate kiss, pouring all his emotions.

He broke the kiss when he felt she couldn't take more. He kneeled down in front of her and lifted her shirt a little and kissed her stomach.

Hello baby, your nanna (dad) is here. I just can't wait to take you in my arms, baby. Be safe in your amma's tummy till we meet, okay. And don't trouble her.

Maya's eyes glistened with tears listening to him. She pulled him up and hugged him tightly.

***************

Both of them are sitting on the sofa in the living room, with Maya in Avi's lap. He was caressing her stomach while she rested her head on his shoulder.

Avi: By the way, when did you come to know?

Maya: Last week, actually, I was feeling dizzy, and also I didn't get my periods this month. I went to the hospital for regular check up. When I told Anita aunty, she told me to take pregnancy test and her intuitions got correct. It is two months old now. I told her not to tell to anyone as I wanted you to know first. And I wanted to tell you, when you come back from London, because I know if I had told you, then you would come back without caring about anything. And I wanted to see the reaction on your face directly, not on a video call. She took a deep breath and asked him, are you happy, Avi?

Of course, I am. And why wouldn't I be happy when my hard work got successful? He said, smirking at her.

Shameless. She said, slapping his arm.

Avi: Arey, how would you have become pregnant if I didn't be shameless? He said, winking at her.

Maya: Argh, idiot. Just stop it, she said, trying to hide her blush.

Okay, leave all this. You are happy, right. I mean, you just started your business, and now you are pregnant. Can you handle everything? He asked, looking into her eyes.

Maya: You don't know, how much happy I'm, Avi. I still can't believe that I'm carrying our little one, the symbol of our love. And coming back to my work, I can manage, and you all are there right. We will appoint one or two bakers, so it would be easy for us. What do you say?

Avi: Hmm, okay. But first we have to inform our family, and then we are going to hospital for check-up.

Maya: Okay, but we don't need to go home.

Why?

Maya: I'll send their surprise to them. With that, she told him her plan.

They got busy in packing the surprise gifts for family and wrote their names on the boxes. She called one of their bodyguards and told him to deliver them to everyone.

****************

Arjun is attending a video conference while Diya is talking to her junior when someone knocked their door. Diya cut the call, and went to open the door. She saw a box lying at the door step. She looked around but saw no-one. She took the box and closed the door and called Arjun.

What? He asked, finishing the meeting.

We have a gift here.

Wait, I'm coming.

Both of them opened the gift together and laughed after seeing the gift, and reading the letters.

Hello mama,

You know what, your sister will truly look a pumpkin in some months because of me. And, please cook some delicious food for me and your pumpkin, as I'm a big foodie like my father. Control your anger because I hate when someone shouts.

(Note: please work hard to get me a boyfriend or girlfriend soon.)

With love

Little pumpkin/little devil

Hello doctor atta,

Get ready to join your duty back, as I'm on my way to meet you. Warn my mumma to take care of herself and me, as she always forgets to take care of herself. And please don't suggest her to eat bland food as I hate to eat it just like my Nanna. And I want you to be the one to hold me first. See you soon in seven months.

With love

Little Avi/Maya

*****************

Aashi and Suhaas were cuddling in her room when someone knocked on the door. Suhaas got down of the bed and opened the door and picked up the gift box lying at the door.

Aashi opened the box and squealed seeing the gift inside. She took the letters and opened them.

Hello Maasi,

Get well soon quickly and be ready to baby sit me as you have promised, because I'm on my way. We will watch cartoons together and irritate my mumma after my arrival. See you in seven months.

With love

Your bunty/bubbly

Hello Pedananna,

I'm going to steal your girlfriend after seven months, so spend all your time with her till then. And take care of my Mami till I arrive because she won't get proper rest after my arrival as she has to baby sit me.

(Warning - Don't trouble my Maasi)

With love

Little Maya/Avi

They laughed after reading the letters, and Aashi hugged Suhaas tightly.

She opened the box curiously and had happy tears after seeing the gift.
