Mehak's POV

The moment when doctor said I am pregnant and its 4 weeks plus, I was thrilled. I was short of words and gaped. Only I can feel when maa hugged me as she planted kisses. Shocked was an under estimated word, I was beyond that. Unknowingly tears wet my cheeks, maa wiped them off. Maa was over the moon and she hugged me and went to hug the doctor too. It took me a while to get back to self-till Maa made me to sit back and doctor explained to me about my test result and showed me the print out from the sonography scan. She pointed the black dot and said that's the baby. Our baby. I can't believe we are going to have baby and what is Shaurya's reaction going to be. Will he be excited like us here or what? I know he is not so fond of kids, but this is our baby and I am clueless of his reaction. While we are returning home, maa suggested to go somewhere to eat and I feel like to have ice cream. We went have ice cream in all flavors and raspberry with vanilla was so good. I asked for another scoop too. I never really enjoyed that flavor earlier but now I seems to enjoy them. We came home and when maa wants to call Shaurya and my family I stopped her. I want to reveal this news to Shaurya in special way first. I want to see his priceless expression first before anyone else. Maa massaged my head before sleep and I was waiting anxiously for Shaurya to call. I know today he didn't call me in between except in the morning, as he was attending the site visit with his partners. His call came right at the time and I was enthralled to hear his voice. I tried not to let my excitement spoil the fun. I gulped in my emotions as I speak to him. I just asked him to come home soon and we hang up shortly. Throughout the night I was happy as my hand went to my abdomen to caress them. I started to check my mobile what can I do to surprise Shaurya. He always into surprising me, this time I want to make it extra special and memorable ones too. I got some ideas and quickly made a reservation for a surprise party planner to do the necessary. I sent them message on my requirement after I browse through their website. I put my mobile away and went to sleep but the excitement in me don't let me to close my eyes. At last I pulled Shaurya's pillow next to me to calm down my mind to get some rest.

The next morning, I get down for breakfast, maa already prepared few dishes for me and she was delighted to see me. She made to me to sit and served me despite of me telling her I am okay I will eat little. As we were busy eating Vicky came to join us.

Vicky: Hi morning bua, morning Bhabhi. Wow so many dishes today? Anything special today?

Karuna maa: Vicky, there is something why we have all these dishes,

Before maa could complete her sentence Mehak hold her hand and shakes her head not to say anything. Maa understood immediately and just say some random stuff. Once Vicky left to work, she asked Mehak what the plan and she told her that she have asked surprise party planner to organize in one of the garden setup at a café in Mehrauli.Karuna maa was excited and give some ideas too. Mehak called Shaurya to check on his flight arrival so everything as per their planning. Mehak and Maa was teamed up and exchanging ideas as how to reveal the news to their most favourite person. So once all preparation done, Mehak freshen up, wore a beautiful long dress with minimal makeup and accessories. She took whatever she needs in her hand and bid karuna maa bye and get in the car with the driver. In 30mins she reached the venue. She checks on the preparation by the organizer. It was almost 5 in the evening. Mehak requested for a transparent gazebo in the middle of the open space in the café. The café was close for private event which is for Mehak and Shaurya. Trail of lights were hanging from each end to the other end. Candle lights were placed around there to create the extra special feeling. Light, everywhere light, scintillating dancing and swinging as it created the mood for the special occasion. Mehak pass an envelope to the organizer and they prepared a huge box with balloons inside as they put the envelope in there. Later the box was put away till Shaurya comes. By 6.30pm driver were sent to airport to pick up Shaurya and Mehak told the driver not to say anything and drive him straight here. If he asked where he is going, just tell him that its Mrs Khanna's order. She kept another envelope in the pocket in front of the passenger seat as well pass another envelope to the driver.

Shaurya saw the driver and get inside the car, the driver greeted him with a smiley face. He asked the driver, why he is in such a happy mood, driver just covered up saying he just happy to see him back and kept his mouth mum. Driver turn on the radio and old song played. Shaurya rested his head on the headrest and waited to be home. As he checks his mobile, his eyes caught on the bright colored envelope in the pocket of the seat. He took them out and saw it read as For Mr Khanna.

His lips unknowingly twitched as he knows who would have put that there. He carefully opened the envelope and saw a card. He opened the car and smiles as he reads them.

Dearest Husband aka Mr Khanna,

Welcome back to Delhi.

You must be wondering what is this card for?

Well there is going to be a lot of sleepless nights for us, as someone is going to be between us. Someone who is going to drive us crazy and that someone also will be both our priority.

Come soon you will know the rest in short while.

Confused with the card content, Shaurya tried to read the card again, to see what she is trying to convey to him. But unusually his intelligent part didn't kick in. He smiled as he put the card away. He looked away the buzzling city traffic. He realized the driver did not take the usual road to Khanna Mansion that's when he queried the driver where is he heading to. Driver forwarded him another envelope and said Sir this is Mrs Khanna's order. I am just following them. Shaurya took the envelope from his hand and opened them quickly as he read the content.

Mr Khanna,

Yes, our route has changed. But I bet it will be for a good reason. The route that we are travelling together will be extraordinarily fun filled yet will be memorable for two of us. A journey where we started as two will have someone to join us soon.

There are more surprises on your way so come soon.

Yours,

Laddoo

He smiled happily as he finished reading the card. Mehak is full of surprises these days to him as earlier she was extra clingy with him, she was unusually temperamental at times and now she is up to something. His face filled up with a bright smile as he pumped up with the excitement of what is his witty wife is up to.

Mehak's POV

Shaurya will reach any minute now. I looked at the gazebo it looked stunning with all the light setup as the night slowly embraces. I was excited but suddenly my stomach churns as what is Shaurya's reaction going to be. I looked at myself in the mirror nearby as I touched up with some powder and straighten my suit. One of the organizers came to me and told that Shaurya has reached. I smiled and told him to send him to the gazebo. I walked towards the gazebo and stand in the middle as I inhale a deep breath to calm down myself. I looked at my tummy and caressed gently and looked above the sky to wish me good luck. I felt a sudden surge of unknown energy in me. I never arranged something like this a surprise party or something as I am noob in that. Its always Shaurya who likes to surprise me with all little stuff and he pays attention to all my preference and every time my face lit up in the surprise, I can see in his eyes how happy is he to see me like that. I can see love and happiness radiates from him. So now its my turn to do this little effort from me, to show him some happiness, to show him my love for him and to share the most important news in our life to him in this special way.

Shaurya's POV

I reached a posh café located at Mehrauli. I wonder why this place. I walked in as I adjusted my suit. Few of the café staff greeted me and I saw a signage saying, closed for private event. I was wondering what event and why Mehak asked the driver to send me here. Is she here too? I asked myself. I walked inside as I conceal the confusion look. The café was decorated with lights and candles everywhere and I was guided to walk further inside. Then as I reach the glass door, I gently pushed them and step out and was mesmerized by the surrounding. Trail of lights hanging brightening the scene and there was a gazebo and my breath hitched to see Mehak standing there with an unusual glow in her face. Her alluring and glowing look just made my heart to beat wildly. I walked towards her with my usual stance. I can see the indescribable nuance in her. I reached her and forwarded my both palms as she placed hers in there as her face lit up with unwavering smile since she saw me. The smile which she always have for me which I fell head over heel for her.

Mehak's POV

He reached the glass door leading to the gazebo setup and I waited anxiously. The moment he looked at me with a loving gaze I can see his longings and melt in his gaze as my knees turned jello. His intimidating look does makes me have butterflies in my tummy. When he reached the decorated gazebo, he forwarded his both hands to me as I reciprocated with placing mine in his. He secured them with his warm hold and pull me towards him.

Shaurya: So Mrs Khanna, what you are doing? You are looking hot today looks like you are up to something. Look at these setups and all, as if some proposal going to happen?

Mehak moved closer to Shaurya as she wrapped her arms around his neck.

Mehak: Mr Khanna, special day, special moment so we need to do something extra you see.

Shaurya: Wow, what happened to you to day my love, you are something extra today. I got few cards; clues and your messages are not easy to decipher. Now you have booked a café to surprise me. Looking at this ambience my heart cant take this much of surprise my love. Spill the bean.

Mehak: Not so fast Mr Husband, you already waited for 30minutes, wait another few more minutes. So till now its always us now we going to have someone else too. This someone will be so special, will be bothering us so much and we also will be taking turn to spoil them. Because of this someone our night sleeps will be disrupted.

Shaurya cringed at her words and look baffled as he tried to understand her statement. Looking at his look Mehak pointed to the huge box placed near her and signed at him to open the box to find out.

Mehak: Your answer to all your confusion is inside the box. Open the box.

He stepped away from her reluctantly holding her hand as they stand together. Shaurya bend a bit as he pulled the bow hesitantly. As he undoes the ribbon, and open the box there were huge balloons popped out which made him to chuckle and below the balloon there was an envelope which he caught it immediately. He looked at her as he opens the envelope. He saw the sonography print out which made him puzzled. He never seen something like that before. He looked at it front and back and look back at Mehak.

Shaurya: What is this Mehak? Something in black and white. Looks like a faulty print out from the printer.

Mehak closed her eyes in irritation and looked at him back.

Mehak: Buddu, you don't know what is this is it?

He clicked his tongue not knowing how to reply her.

Mehak: You got promoted Mr Khanna.

Shaurya: what promotion? (still looking baffled)

Mehak: You are going to be world coolest, the handsome and loving dad.

Shaurya was shocked and in the meantime thrilled when Mehak uttered the last word. Dad

He moved to her and cupped her face as he looked into her eyes. Mehak cupped his face as her thumbs caressed his stubbles. He pulled her to hug her tightly as he planted countless kisses on her head then pull himself off to see her face.

Shaurya: (planting another kiss on her forehead) really. When, how? Oh My God, what I am talking? Mehak tell me something.

Mehak: Yes Shaurya, you are going to be papa soon and we are 4 plus weeks pregnant.

Saying that Shaurya kissed again on her cheek, his hand went down to her abdomen and caress it protectively. He kneels to her abdomen and place a gentle kiss as he looked at her from the same position. He stands up as he slides his arm to cup Mehak's cheek as his fingers caress her nape gently. He whispered I love you as he captured her lips. His lips stayed there longer as her palm rested on his chest for support. He let go off her lips as she trembled for air. Her face turns red with his deed.

Shaurya: So you did all these for me, this is so beautiful and I am super excited to become a dad and you will be mommy. Omg how crazy I am, you have given me all the clues from the car yet I cant find the answer. I am so happy now.

Saying that he carried her gently off the ground swinging her around as she let out a giggle. She rested her hands on his shoulder as both screamed in happiness oblivious to their surroundings. Their moment were interrupted with burst of confetti, and singing of congratulations, it's a celebration song. Shaurya slowly put Mehak on the ground and the couple see were the noise coming from and shocked to see , Karuna maa, Vicky, Kanta chachi, Mansi Chachi, Jeevan chachu, Ravi Chachu, Dadaji, PD , Nehal , Sonal and even Mohit were there. They all had the same happy look as they clapped for Shaurya and Mehak.

Mehak: Maa, what is all these?

Karuna maa: Mehak beta, you give us the happiest news ever. I know you want to surprise Shaurya first then only you want to tell the rest, but I thought why not surprise you both. So, I quickly call and arranged everyone to come here to celebrate this moment. Afterall we have been waiting for this for long time right.

Mehak: Aww maa, you are the best.

Saying that Mehak leaned to plant a kiss for Karuna maa, as well Shaurya joined to kiss maa on her other cheek.

Karuna maa; Congratulations to both of you. Thank you for giving us such a beautiful news.

Later Mehak was hugged by the Sharma family and both Vicky and Mohit wanted to carry her but Shaurya went to them to query them.

Shaurya: What you two doing, be careful. She is not a toy besides that must handle her gently now.

Everyone laughed at Shaurya's statement as now he became overprotective husband and dad too.

Daduji: Shaurya puttar don't worry, this is all are okay, you see our PD we used to do the same too.

Shaurya suppress his laughter as the whole family started to tease him. Slowly Mehak went to stand next to him and she hides herself on his chest. Later the entire family enjoy their dinner there as Karuna maa made an announcement.

Karuna maa: Brothers, sisters and children. As this is such beautiful news I am arranging a pooja at home tomorrow so that we will seek for Matarani's blessings for our new family member. We want our grandchild to get all the blessings, love and care from us. Also, to ask for matarani's protection for Mehak during this period.

Kanta chachi: You are right karuna ji. Let's do the pooja at home. We must thank Matarani for this news. We all will be there tomorrow and will have fun with everyone. We didn't had this much fun for a very long time.

The Sharma's return to their home, while Khanna's return to theirs. Back in their room , Mehak and Shaurya was at their balcony. Shaurya was sitting leisurely as Mehak rested her head on his lap. Mehak was holding one of his arm and playing with his fingers. His other hand caressed her hair gently. He was still in his exhilarated mood as he slowly asked.

Shaurya: when did you know about this news?

Mehak: I just realized I didn't get my menses for couple of weeks. So when I accompanied maa yesterday, I went to hospital with maa. So when they did the testing doctor showed me. She showed him the sonography print out again, You see the black dot there, that's our baby.

Shaurya: But, Mehak here I only see that dot I cant see head, hands, leg and body. So how is this can be a baby?

Irritated with his reply, Mehak got up from his lap and looked at him.

Mehak: Shaurya, you wont see the baby so fast, it will take some weeks for that all to form.

Shaurya: Okay okay baby, sorry I was just curious. Our baby looks so cute in there. (he calmed her down immediately)

Mehak rested her head on his chest as she looked at the print out smiling at it.

Shaurya: So I am going to have 2 babies. One is the mother of my baby and the another is who made her mother.

Mehak: Yes we two will drive you nuts and worry you , irritate you all the time. By the way are you happy Shaurya? Or you are just...

Shaurya: What rubbish are you talking about, I am super excited about our baby. I am thrilled Mehak. We will have Jnr Mehak or Jnr Shaurya soon and we will going to have lots of arguments who will spoil our child.

Mehak: Not like that Shaurya, you said long ago you don't like kids, you are allergic to them.

Shaurya: oh yea, that's someone else's child but this is going to be special as this is ours Mehak. This is the baby that our whole family been waiting for.

Their moment was interrupted when karuna maa came with the milk glass.

Karuna maa: Mehak beta, drink this milk first. Shaurya I need to talk to you. My friend Doctor Geeta is the one who confirmed her pregnancy. We will continue to see her throughout Mehak's pregnancy. She said Mehak need to take balanced diet and as well her vitamins etc. She needs to take rest too. From now onwards don't only pay attention to your business but do take care of Mehak and the baby. All these are your new responsibilities. Monthly must bring for doctor's appointment, making sure she eats well and rest well also she must be happy all the time so the baby inside her womb will grow happily.

Shaurya: Maa I promise , I will take care of my babies properly (seeing the confusion in maa's face) I mean, Mehak is a big baby and now she is carrying another baby, so its two you see. I will take care of them with good care.

Karuna maa: Okay beta, Mehak quickly drink your milk and come, you need to rest well. Tomorrow got pooja at home and you need to be rest well.

Shaurya who was perplexed with Karuna maa's word he got up from there as Mehak still looks lost as she stops drinking her milk and looked at both Shaurya and maa.

Shaurya: Maa, where is Mehak going to sleep? Don't worry she can sleep well here, I did not see her for two days. So, I have a lot of things to talk too. (he stammered with his word which only made Mehak's eyes widen hearing him)

Karuna maa: Betaji, I know you didn't see your wife past two days, that's why I am taking her with me to my room, so she can rest well for tomorrow. If you keep talking whole night how she can rest well? So, after tomorrow pooja you can take care of your wife. Tonight, she will be with me. No, I got a better idea wait. Vicky.... Come here beta.

Vicky came there skipping happily. Shaurya looks at them confusingly as what is his mother is up to.
