Meaning of the quotes in picture☝️:

How should I be...thankful?

For choosing me,

I wasn't able to tell you the situation of my heart,

But you have already listened to it..

A covenant of love has been

Fulfilled..

After taking the pain of my heart you have replaced it with yours (love)..

Shahnoor's POV :-

"CONGRATULATIONS!" Everyone said in unison while popping the glitters and ribbons.

I smiled with huge grin, looking at my family and others who came at this time of night for the surprise. When I told him about my pregnancy he didn't reacted much, just kissed my forehead and left. I was so annoyed with this, didn't talk to him all this time and quietly did my all chores. With frown I glared at him time to time but he didn't even said anything. I was so sad for this but all my anger, sadness fade into the thin air when he surprised me with others on the terrace. The terrace is all decorated with cute things for baby and colour balloons, also there's a huge cake on the table with a tag of 'Soon to be super mom'. I blushed when I saw everyone cheering for me as I came here, they made me wear the same slash and we cut the cake.

"Your uncle would be so happy if he would be here.." Jamila aunty said, wiping her tears.

"Uncle is really happy for us, he must be praying for the baby as well.. don't cry aunty." He said and hugged her.

"Yes, so true. Your uncle always wanted to see your baby bete (son) but maybe this is how it is destined." Aunty continued, sobbing in his arms.

"He can see everything from heaven aunty, please don't cry. He always wantes us to be happy and healthy. Let's be happy and thank Allah for the blessings he gave us." I said with glossy eyes and a small smile.

"Yes meri bacchi (my child), may Allah bless you all with health and happiness." She said, putting her hand on my head.

I hugged her and we all sat for a while than aunty left for the tahajjud prayer. Rania and akib went in the guestroom to sleep and firoz bhai, he won't leave us alone. He looked at me with furrowed brows, I raised my brows at him tilting my head a little.

"What?" I aksed.

"I am still the junior one here, even after the baby." He said, like a small kid.

"Oh no! Look at you such a jealous uncle! Tsk! tsk!" I said, sarcastically shaking my head.

"Jealous uncle? Me? I am not! I already love the baby when it is not born yet." He said, dramatically.

"Than why did you say that?" I asked.

"So that you all won't share my love with anyone, the baby can get its new love but please don't ignore me." He said, with puppy face making me smile.

"Well, we will think about it." I said, imitating him.

"Hahahha..." A masculine laughing sound made my heart jumped, I looked at him laughing while covering his face with his left hand.

'How can someone look so handsome? Uff~' I can't stop drooling over my husband's smart looks as they are worth praising though.

'Not your fault shahno, not your fault~' I assured myself while nodding lightly.

"Bhaiii..this isn't funny please. Tell your wife that I am not being jealous with that tiny champion but asking for my share of right." Firoz bhai said, with a pout.

At that he stopped laughing and stood up, walking towards firoz bhai. He rubbed his shoulder before engulfing him into a brotherly hug.

"You will always be our first priority little brother, don't worry our love for you won't change." He said to firoz bhai while patting his back.

Click!

"Mashallah.." I whispered looking at them and quickly took a pic in my phone.

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

After we came in our room, I settle down on the bed and he talked on the phone for a while. Getting free from his calls, he look at me with a smile. Well~ its a little different from any other smile. Removing his jacket, blazer and watch, he kept them aside on the love seat. I blink my eyes looking anywhere but him, no! I can't stand his gaze, even though we have been intimate for just two times in this last 2 and a half months but I am still not used to stand those heated gaze.

"I am gonna get a quick shower.." He announced, walking towards the bathroom.

Well that's him, he can't sleep without a hot shower. No matter what the weather is like but he continues with his habit.

"BACCHA!" He called out, I jumped on his voice and quickly walked towards the bathroom.

"What is it?" I asked, standing out of the bathroom.

"There's something..." He said from inside, making me confuse.

"What?" I asked, he quickly opened the door and pulled me inside holding on my right arm.

I quickly clutched on his shirt, he hold onto my waist with the same heated orbs. I gulped looking at his chest, two buttons are already open. My pupils are shaking with thudding heartbeats, I hear the door getting closed.

"Wh-what are you doi-doing?" I stutter looking here and there.

"Let's take bath together." He said, I snap my eyes towards him with shock.

"Wha-what?! No!" I said, my heart jumping in somewhat excitement yet this is so embarassing.

"Okay not bath than.... shower." He said in a suggested tone.

"Wa-wa-waIT!" I stutter as my body shivered with his comments.

"Shhh~" He put his index finger on my lips, my shivering gaze locked with his heated ones.

"I am not in the mood of spearing you...you know it janan.." He said in hushed tone.

"You know it na?" He asked as if asking a child, unconsciously I nodded.

"Then don't make your husband wait more...when he needs you.." He said, in my right ear in that same tone.

My insides are swirling with that same foreign feelings. I saw him removing his shirt, making his fine toned body display in front of me. This will be the end of me, the pictures of him from our last intimacy rewind in my mind. The bestest yet the scariest experience for me, he loves.. really hard. I still remember those dark lustful eyes boring in mine, he won't stop.

"Ahh.." I startled when he suddenly turn on the shower tap, the rain of its pouring on us.

Third person's POV :-

The glass wall around the shower got misty with heat of the hot running water. Shahzaib's eyes drilled into Shahnoor's nervous one. He walk closer to her, making her back contact with the glass wall behind. He cupped her face with his right hand, his lips capturing her's. He gently kissed her lips, slowly deepening it. Slightly he bit her lower lip at which she opened her mouth, allowing his tongue to enter. The kiss slowly turns into a passionate one, making shahzaib's mind dizzy and so is Shahnoor's. His body shivered with the new need of her, he slammed his hands on the glass wall beside her.

Shahnoor slowly wrapped her small hands around his neck, fingers tangling with his long golden brown locks. She gave him equal amount of phase, her heart thumping in want of him.

"Good gurlll~" Shahzaib comments in between their kisses.

"I need you so badly little one..ohh..I don't know what's so wrongg with me..Ahh~" He whispered in her ears, making the pain in her more deeper yet pleasurable.

She didn't say anything, her mind couldn't process what to say, all she knows is he is the only one she needs right now. She has lost the sanity long ago and doesn't want it back not right now. The shower room became more hazy, not sure if it because of the hot shower or their steamy chemistry.

"Ahh!!" Shahnoor moaned throwing her head back when shahzaib sucked on her soft spot.

Her clutch on his locks gets harder, pulling him. This made shahzaib want more of her. He quickly discarded her clothes, leaving her in bright red undergarments.

"So womanly my little girl.." He smirked, looking at her figure garbed in those two pieces.

His comments are so empowering that her mind couldn't process the whole situation but only his words. This is him, his love is really deviant. Shahzaib pulled her into bridal style and walked towards their bedroom. He slowly throw her on their bed, his eyes rowing over her figure from her heaving chest to her tanned long legs. He spared no time to waste and quickly hovered over her. She looked at him through her half open eyes.

"I need you janan.. don't you need me?" He asked, in hushed tone.

At this timid feelings engulfed shahnoor's being, she lack of words. Covering her face with her hands, she tried to look away. Shahzaib chuckle at his wife naivety, that's what does everytime he made love with her.

His laugh do wonders to her body, an ache of his want flow like a heavy river through her veins.

"Don't be shy... shahnoor... shahzaib needs you.." He said, touching her forehead with his and removed her hands from her face with his right hand.

Her eyes looked at his lips, licking with heavy breath.

"Look at me.." He ordered her, she obeyed but hesitantly.

"I love you...I need you..do you not need me?" A pain she felt when his lovely eyes asked the same question his words asked.

"I.." She tried to gain courage, she doesn't want to see him in pain.

"I..wa-want you..too.." She said, stuttering.

"I will make you feel good..you want to feel good right?" He asked, never in million years she heard a question the way he asked her.

It is so deep, playful, making her break all those wall of shyness. She kissed him suddenly, shahzaib eyes snap in surprise. He didn't expected such outburst from her. He felt her struggling with her body which is slightly rubbing underneath him.

"Grrrrr..ahh!" He growled loudly when for the first time his wife found his soft spot below his right earlobe.

His hands interwining with her, he found her lips again. He didn't let her take break, he kissed her bite her, gave her love marks everywhere on her body.

"Thank you Janan...thank you very much for the gift you have given me..I am ahhh...so lucky to have..you."

Shahzaib's POV :-

It is the beautiful morning of my life, I couldn't still believe that I am going to be a father. I feel so blessed, alhamdulillah. I quickly got freshen up and dressed into dark blue shirt and light faded jeans. My smile didn't leave this whole time, the pictures of last night aren't willing to leave my mind. I quickly made a call to akib to check on business as I wasn't able to go for it. I have to take care of my girl. After a short call, I turn around to see my wife garbed in beautiful white top and same pants. Her big curls open and the subtle jewellery made her look breathtakingly gorgeous. Did I not mentioned that deep blush on her cheeks, Mashallah she is looking so cute.

She never makes eye-contact with me, it happens everytime we make love with eachother. She is such a shy girl, may Allah protect her from evil eyes.

"Mera dil ka chain (The peace my heart)...why being shy?" I asked her, putting my index finger under her chin.

Her blush deepens, she looks down and lightly shakes her head.

"I love you.." I said, the feeling of love engulfing my heart for her.

But she didn't replied, she is hella nervous. I can feel her body shaking slightly. I quickly hugged her, soothing her back with light stroke.

"Meri jaan (my darling), my heart, my life, begum (Wife)..you are very precious to me..and your haya (shyness) is more precious..I respect you with all my heart. I want you to know it..that this husband of your's is nothing without you." I confessed the hidden feelings of mine.

I felt her sobbing lightly in my arms, my hands tightened around her.

"I..I love you.." She confessed.

"The heart is typically made of four chambers, two upper chambers which are called atria and two lower chambers called ventricles. The right side of the heart moves blood to the lungs. In the lungs, blood picks up oxygen and then returns it to the heart's left side. The left side of the heart then pumps the blood through the body's main artery also known as aorta and out to the rest of the body." Dr. Amelia explained me with the presentation of the chart.

"Mr. Mirza, there are four types of ASD (Atrial septal defect) and shahnoor has the rare one called Sinus venosus. It separates the upper wall of the heart chambers and its symptoms are shown slowly. It may be small during the birth but its get larger during the adulthood as the environment changes around us. She has faced anxiety, depression, stress at the earlier age which cause it to get larger. A large ASD can cause the blood to overfill the lungs which causes overwork of the right side of the heart. The blood in the arteries in lungs can increase, leading to pulmonary hypertension. And do you know? when the time of her due date will come, she will be like a broken doll. ASD patients needs to always seek advice from their doctor before planning on growing their family." She continued futher, making my heart sunk as if I have committed a sin.

The smile from earlier has faded long a ago. Shahnoor is in her hospital room, taking her chemo as she is feeling numbness in her left hand this morning. I thought its because of weakness but Dr. Amelia explained me the actual cause of it.

"What should I do now?" I asked her, my mind went numb because of all the information she gave me.

"See Mr. Mirza, I'll be honest with you as I know the results of keeping the baby. Firstly, Your baby have high chances of inherenting of the same disease and may not be able to live for long after birth. Second, Your wife may start feeling the symptoms of large ASD that is arrhythmias (irregular heartbeat), stroke or right side heart failure which may lead to dea-"

"Don't!" I shut her by showing my hand.

"She will be alright inshallah..she needs to be alright doctor. I.. request you." I said, for the first time requesting someone.

"I'll try my best, I thought of performing the surgery but no I can't as she is already two and a half month pregnant. There's a high risk of her having heart attack during labour and she might not be able to bear it. In this situation I can suggest you only one thing." She said with a little hesitation in the end.

"What it is?" I asked.

"Abortion."

It felt like someone has stabbed me with an iron rode right in my heart. I fisted my hands and clenched my jaw to hold on my anger.

'Calm down shahzaib its not her fault that shahnoor has such disease..calm down..calm down.' My inner voice repeated.

"Isn't...*takes deep breath* isn't there another way other than ab-abortion?" I asked, Even my tongue loathe to say such forbidden word.

"I am suggesting it because your wife is too weak for this pregnancy and if you are willing to keep the baby than..I can try to do C section (operation) instead of normal delivery but we have to perform both ASD and delivery surgery together which cannot be guaranteed either. She might have less chance of survival." Dr. Amelia explained, I kept quite looking down in my hands.

"I am stopping her medication for now, after this chemo I'll look into her prescription and change it. Than I'll tell you about her condition." She continued.
