THIRD PERSON'S POV

Maria watched her daughter anxiously, whereas Mustafa on the other hand was as cool as a cucumber, both of them waiting for Noor to speak which she did after few moments of silence.

"Baba, don't lie. Allah pak will punish you."

Composing herself with the news Noor glared at her father, huffing her cute cheeks, scolding him for lying.

He taught her to speak the truth and now, he himself was lying to her.

She couldn't believe her baba was lying.

"But baba is not lying princess. You really are going to be a big sister."

Chuckling at his cute princess Mustafa squished her cheeks, watching her pouting at him in anger for teasing her and turned her head towards his wife and her mother, who was her last resort.

Mama could never lie. Especially to Noorie.

"Mama ?"

Seeing Noor's big, innocent eyes upon herself, Maria gulped nervously and nodded meekly at her daughter who immediately looked down, concealing her face from her parents. Seconds later they heard sniffing, making them realise the condition of their daughter.

She was crying.

Mustafa immediately pulled her in his embrace and rubbed her back to calm her down but she didn't, instead she kept crying holding him in a tight grasp.

"Shhh.... Bas Noor."

(Stop.)

He was busy cooing his daughter when his eyes landed upon his wife, who just like Noor had fat tears in her eyes, making him groan watching two of them.

It was difficult for him to decide who was child at that time; his wife or his daughter.

A frustrated sigh left his lips as he watched his wife's angry glare directed towards him for announcing her pregnancy to their daughter.

She knew Noor won't be happy and her nightmare came true. Noor wasn't happy hearing about her siblings.

Wiping her tears, she decided to stand up and leave not having the courage to even look at her daughter who was crying in her husband's arms.

"Noor aap ro kyu rahi hai ? Your Mama is-"

(Noor why are you crying ?)

Watching Maria leave, Mustafa quickly held her hand in a tight grasp, separating Noor from himself so that she could have a look at her mama, who was devastated with her reaction.

"Noorie jaan, see your mama is crying."

With that he pulled his wife towards him softly, trapping her in his arms even when she protested to leave.

"M-mujhe jaane dein."

(Let me go.)

She tried hard to make him leave her, but all her efforts went in vain when he started drawing circles on her waist, knowing well it would distract her.

He knew she was affected with his touch and pregnancy too would do it's wonders and make her stop protesting.

He wanted her to stop and capture the reaction of their little girl whom she was too afraid to face.

"Mama don't cly. Noorie give you lots of magic kissies."

Ignoring baba holding her mama, Noor walked towards them and kissed her mothers face to see her smile but she didn't and instead she got encircled in her Mama's arms where she heard her mama sobbing more.

"Noorie tell your mama not to cry."

Rubbing Maria's back Mustafa whispered to Noor who was quiet, confused seeing her mother cry. She wasn't able to understand why her mama was crying when she had been a good girl, not giving her any reason to complain.

"Mama don't cly."

Hugging her mama Noor whispered wiping her cheeks with her small hands but she kept crying, leaving Noor to threaten her as a last resort.

"Mama, Noorie will cly too if you cly."

Noor's threat worked well as Maria immediately stopped and looked up shocked seeing the father daughter duo grinning, giving each other a high five, for stopping her from crying.

"Shabaash Noorie."

Nodding her head proudly Noor demanded to meet her siblings, catching both her parents off guard.

"Baba Noorie want to meet her siblings."

Mustafa didn't knew how to answer her but Maria on the other hand, could care less knowing her husband would handle everything, her attention only directed to know whether she was happy or not.

"A-are you h-happy with your siblings Noorie ?"

"So much mama. Noorie always wanted them. Aur ab Noorie ko aachu ke saath bhi nahi khelna padega."

(And now Noor doesn't have to play with aachu anymore.)

Nodding enthusiastically, Noor answered, confessing her happiness of having her own siblings and her plans to abandon Osama aachu, who did nothing but irritate her whenever she played with him.

Sighing in relief, Maria kissed Noor's cheeks who was too lost to meet her siblings, everything forgotten with her happiness.

"Can I meet them baba ?"

"Umm Noorie-"

Helplessly, Mustafa looked at Maria who was enjoying watching him getting nervous infront of their daughter.

"Please baba, please please..."

"You can't meet them baby, they-"

"Kyu ? Unko Noorie achi nahi lagti ?"

(Why ? Don't they like Noorie ?)

Before he could complete Noor piqued in, pouting sadly, thinking her siblings did not wanted to meet her.

"It's nothing like that Noorie. They are sleeping inside mama. Yes! They are sleeping."

After thinking a lot he came with an innocent answer, pointing towards his wife's abdomen, watching shocking face of both his wife and daughter with his answer.

"Are you cra-"

Maria was about to scream at him for giving too much details to their daughter about babies but kept quiet, reminding herself to scold him in Noor's absence.

"What!! Mama what are my siblings doing inside you ?"

But their daughter didn't knew how to keep quiet and screamed, horrified hearing, her siblings were inside her mama.

She had a mission; to rescue her darling siblings from their parents.

"Noorie, Allah pak put them inside mama to keep them safe."

Taking a deep breath Mustafa patted Noor's cheeks finding himself being glared upon by his wife, who was threatening him to handle Noor in the current situation who was being very inquisitive about her little siblings.

Well he couldn't complain knowing every girl had a curious cat inside her and his daughter was no different.

"But I am their big sister, I'll save them."

Noor announced proudly making her mother feel in awe of her, but her expressions changed to that of a scowl when it landed upon Mustafa.

"Mama will keep them more safe in there, baby."

Ignoring his wife's hormonic scowl, he smiled while explaining Noor, placing his hand over his wife's abdomen where their twins were resting.

His little girl seemed to understand his words, making him sigh in relief but seconds later he found her complaining again for calling her a 'baby' as apparently she wasn't a baby anymore but an elder sister to her siblings.

"Otay! But don't call me baby baba. I am a big sistel now.... Baby are inside mama."

"Baby nahi jaan, babies."

Maria couldn't help but chuckle hearing Noor's demand to stop calling her a baby and corrected her, placing a quick kiss over her forehead, feeling happy.

"Baba, mama can I slweep with you ?"

Jumping, Noor asked feeling too excited, not wanting to go to her room and sleep with her parents for the night, making Mustafa groan hearing her, feeling his reward slipping away from him, deciding to decline Noor.

Sorry Noorie but baba needs his reward he worked so hard for.

"No-"

Before he could decline Noor, Maria quickly piqued in allowing Noor to sleep with them, glaring at him for being selfish.

"Of course you can Noorie. Come."

Holding her hand, she led Noor towards the bed and layed down, watching Mustafa give her a hard look before turning towards the sofa, taking a hold of his laptop to finish the pending work, giving her a 'I'll see you later look'.

Finally what it seemed like an hour Noor slept, Mustafa deciding to sleep too and well take reward from his wife who was about to sleep.

Walking to his side he layed down, carefully separating his wife and daughter, pulling Maria towards his side to lie down in between, startling her who was at the verge of sleeping.

"What are you doing ?"

Groaning, she tried pulling out of his embrace to go back to her original side when he stopped her reminding her of Noor's sleeping habits.

"Did you forgot how much she moves and kicks in her sleep ?"

Caressing her sides, he whispered softly not wanting to wake Noor and face her wrath. A cranky Noor was very difficult to handle.

"Where will I sleep now ?"

Pouting, Maria whispered back leaning down to keep her head over his shoulder, watching Noor cover two third of their large bed.

"Don't worry jaani. You can sleep at my side."

Pulling her cheeks he smiled, pushing Noor a little to make a decent space for themselves earning a hard kick from Noor on his stomach getting disturbed.

"Aap theek hai ?"

(Are you okay ?)

Maria quickly came to his aid watching him rub his stomach but he gave her a small teasing smile, pointing towards his abs, telling her not to worry about him.

Noor kicking him in sleep was nothing new for him.

"These muscles can take any blow of hers, but can't put you on risk at all."

Show off.

Rolling her eyes Maria was about to lie down when he held her wrist to pull her on himself, raising eyebrows, reminding her of his reward.

"I won't let you sleep untill I get my reward and don't you dare ask me which reward."

Saying this he held the nape of her neck pulling her more to himself, feeling her shiver in his arms.

"Leave me-"

"Wrong answer jaani."

This time his hands pushed back the soft tresses of her's which were hindering him from looking into her eyes.

"A-aapko k-kya c-chahiye ?"

(What do you want ?)

A shy voice came out of her mouth as she tried hard to place her head on his chest; the only way to stop him from getting his reward.

She knew he would demand something which would fluster her, make her feel like a complete idiotic mess in front of him.

Taking deep breaths she calmed her heart to look into his eyes, only to find the same ages old feelings inside them just like she was harboring inside herself. The feeling of love.

Lost in his deep eyes she never realised what he was speaking untill she heard the word 'kiss'.

"I want.....A kiss."

"Ohhhh!"

Taking her chance she immediately kissed his cheeks, doing a victory dance inside her head for outsmarting him.

She knew he wanted her to kiss him on his lips but she didn't had the courage to do that. It was too bold for her.

"Don't play games with me and give me a proper kiss."

Feeling irritated with her antics Mustafa warned, watching her giving him an innocent smile, increasing his irritation more.

"I already gave you one. And it should be me who should be getting a reward from you for carrying these twins of yours."

But he knew how to trap his birdie and he did, taking advantage of her innocence, shocking her with his actions.

"If you say so jaani."

Before she could react he placed his lips over hers and started moving them in a slow pace, enjoying her soft lips. Feeling the need to breathe, she opened her mouth a little which he completely took advantage off and evaded her mouth, robbing her of her breaths along with her heartbeats.

He slowly tasted all of her taking his time to devour her and she let him, feeling herself drowning within him.

It was when her lungs felt the need for air, she pushed him and he let her go, with a smile on his face, watching her look down and breathe heavily, having a flustered look on her face.

She looked so adorable with red face that he couldn't help but kiss her again, this time passion increasing more than it was. Taking all his time he left her, his thumb now stroking her pink warm cheeks, complimenting her for her sweet taste.

"Hmmm.... Just like cherries."

Gazing her flustered form for what it seemed like eternity, he finally found her looking up, shocking her with her signature glare, her face adorned with a cute pout, her way of telling him that she was offended.

"What happened ?"

"You k-kissed me twice. It's not fair."

She stuttered, feeling his thumb stroke her shoulder blade, making its way up towards her chin, stopping over her red lips, the same lips he ravished, the same lips which had become his sweetest addiction.

"It is fair jaani. A kiss for each baby."

His hand now found its way to her abdomen brushing it lightly, feeling the sense of love and care towards the place, his children were growing.

But his admiring session was interrupted, when she placed hand over his shoulder to jerk him, feeling neglected, watching him not paying attention to her, when he smirked answering her rendering her speechless completely.

"You want more...."

"Aap bahut hi zyada besharam hai. Noor is sleeping beside us and you are-"

(You are too shameless.)

She wasn't able to finish when she saw him hovering over her fully but he was careful enough not to put pressure over her abdomen, and passed her a mischievous smile, rubbing his nose over her red one.

"So you won't had stopped me if Noor-"

"Bas karein. I am sleepy."

(Stop it.)

Keeping hand over his mouth she stopped him from speaking further, and pushed herself onto his chest to hide herself, making him enjoy her flustered state.

"Sleep well jaani."

Deciding to put an end to his teasing session he kissed her forehead, turning his face towards her abdomen, kissing goodnight to his kids, praying surah's all over her form including Noor's who was sleeping soundly on the other side.

Sleep well my little heartbeats.

•

"Mustafa please."

Maria whined, putting on her most innocent face to melt the him but he looked away not having the heart to say 'no' to that innocent look but did; for the sake of her health.

"No."

"Please. Mera bahut dil kar raha hai."

She again pleaded, rubbing her protruding belly feeling her stomach rumble pleading along with her, to melt the stone hearted man in front of her.

She really wanted to eat pizza and would do anything to convince Mustafa who wasn't ready to give in at all.

"No. Your quota to eat pizza is over until next month."

Blasting her with earth shattering news he turned his gaze over the file he was reading previously, watching her cry out in frustration from the corner of his eyes.

"WHAT!! But I really really want it. The twins want it too."

"What's wrong with you ? It's the fifth time you are craving for pizza in a week."

Having enough of her childishness, he banged the file over his desk and answered her, finality dripping off in his strong husky voice which she obviously ignored, feeling her insides burn with anger hearing his answer.

"Seriously! You are asking me what's wrong. Well I am pregnant and I want my pizza NOW!!"

Walking towards him she jerked his collar, pulling him closer to tell him she was as serious as he was and won't give up till he fulfills her demand.

For god's sake it was just a pizza, not Taj Mahal she was asking for.

"Aur wo aapko nahi milega. Koi aur cheez khaani hai to bataiye, I'll get it for you but not pizza."

(And you won't get that. If you want something else, I'll get it for you but not pizza.)

Cupping her cheeks he spoke softly this time, unwavering from his decision.

Eating too much junk food was not good and she was doing just that.

"Haaye Allah kitne berehem insaan hai ye. His kids want pizza and he is denying me to have it."

(Such a heartless man he is)

Pushing him away she sighed dramatically, just like Osama complaining to Allah about him, making him chuckle watching her funny expressions.

"Yes, because you should eat healthy instead of this junk which is doing nothing but cause harm to you and the twins."

"Main aakhri baar bol rahi hu aapse Ke mujhe pizza khana hai. Mujhe wo aap chup chaap la dein warna-"

(I am telling you last time that I want pizza. Bring it to me peacefully otherwise )

Fisting her hands, she gritted her teeth, his words getting on her nerves, warning him to bring her pizza or face her wrath otherwise.

"Warna kya-"

(Otherwise what )

Folding hands over chest he asked, giving her a hard look when the door of their room opened stopping their world war with Noor's presence.

"Baba don't scold my mama."

Hugging her mother she stood in front of her like a sheild, joining her mama's party against her baba, making him roll his eyes. Of course she would take her mama's side for now her mama was carrying her dear siblings which she loved too much.

"Noorie mama had been a bad girl so it's important for baba to scold her."

"No! I won't let you baba."

His words went on deaf ears as Noor had already held him culprit for teasing her mama who looked angry.

"I won't let anything happen to you little babies."

Standing on her tip toes Noor kissed her Mama's abdomen promising her siblings to save them from baba's anger.

"Noor apni dadi ammi ke paas jaiye."

Watching his little soldier Mustafa ordered her to go to her grandmother wanting to give an earful to his stubborn wife who was glaring him nonstop.

"No! First promise you won't scold them."

Pointing towards her mama's protruding belly Noor demanded watching her father nod, making her sigh in relief, feeling great for saving her siblings for their father's scoldings.

"I won't. I promise."

He smirked watching his wife scowl at him for his answer.

Of course he would only scold his little wife, not his children.

"Listen to me carefully biwi. I am bringing your medicines along with milk and I don't want any drama now."

Watching Noor leave he took slow steps towards his wife who was standing proudly, without any ounce of fear, asking her to listen to him and not behave childishly.

"I won't. Untill you bring me pizza."

If he was stubborn then so was she and wasn't ready to back out at all.

"Maria, don't test my patience."

Taking deep breaths he pinched the tip of his nose, feeling anger seeping through his veins, with her stubborness and it skyrocketed when he saw her turning her heals, going out of their room.

"Where are you going now ? Maria! Maria! Come back here. We are not done."

Angrily, he followed her making her fasten her pace and scream at him, her anger doubling his. He was about to give her a piece of mind, when she stopped his heart, declaring to sleep with dado.

"WE ARE DONE!! Sleep alone from now onwards. I am going to sleep with dado from now."

"WHAT!! NO! Come back."

Without paying heed to Mustafa's voice she walked towards dado's room with a smug look on her face, feeling content after irritating him.

Well he had to pay for not bringing her pizza and it was then decided by her to irritate the hell out of him untill he gives up.
