I woke up with a mild pain in my abdomen which intensified and soon there were sharp contraction. Every second I felt a jolt of pain passing through my body making me yelp in pain.

"Hurry up! Anjali is in labour.."

"Take out the car. We need to reach the hospital quickly."

"Everything will be fine", Rohan assured me.

Within twenty minutes I was taken to the hospital. The contractions being more sharper, I cried out in pain.

"Relax", the doctor motioned me to take deep breaths.

"Rohan..."

"Anjali, I am with you. I will always be with you..", he clutched my hand tightly never to let it go.

As the doctor prepared for performing the C section I glanced around with terror in my heart.

"Relax..", Rohan said. Its easier to tell the one who will go under the scissors to relax, rather than be in the same shoes.

I felt mixed emotions, happy to get the experience of motherhood, terrified for the C section and angry at how easily Rohan would just watch me going under the knife while I have to bear the pain. Soon my emotions were put to rest when the Doctor injected the anasthesia on my back. Slowly I felt my lower body going numb and my vision being blurry.

"Are you fine Anjali?"

Rohan's concerned face flashed before my eyes.

"I am fine..."

"How.. how is my child?"

"Its a girl. She is absolutely healthy."

"Have you held her?", I am eager to know about how she looks.

"No Anjali.. I will get to see her with you. I was so worried. Your heartbeat went high. You were asleep for ten hours", Rohan said as he removed a strand of hair from my face.

"I want to see her."

"The nurse will bring her soon.."

After a few checkups the doctor agreed to bring our daughter.

"You were so stressed, the reason why we had to apply full anastasia, else you would have seen her long back", the doctor said with a genuine smile.

As the nurse brought my girl wrapped in a white cloth I fell in love at first sight. She looked like a pink doll, fragile and lovely.

"So beautiful!"

"So small.."

As I held my little girl in my arms all the pain that I felt vanished for a while. She slept peaceful without any worries. I kissed softly on her forehead, taking care not to hurt my fragile doll.

"Rohan, will you hold her?", I asked Rohan as he glanced at her with curious eyes.

"Give her to me", he gently placed one of his hand below her head, the other supporting her small legs.

"Be careful", my mother in law warned.

As soon as my little girl sensed that she is in someone else's lap she started crying.

"How to pacify her?", Rohan asked with a confused look.

Soon she stopped crying and gave a small smile towards Rohan.

"See Anjali, she is smiling at me", Rohan said in an excited tone.

"She is going to be a daddy's girl, look at her beautiful smile", my mother said.

Soon my girl shifted from one person to another. When my mother held her in her arms she broke into tears of joy.

"She looks so much like Aisha.."

Indeed she does. She has got a nose like Rohan, hands and feet like me but her face resembles Aisha di. The brown pupils, her hair which will surely take the form of curls when she grows up, her broad forehead, her gorgeous pink lips, her thick eye brows; everything resembles Aisha di.

Rohan stared at her for a long time. She stared back at him with diliated eyes. Soon she closed her eyes once again going into her peaceful sleep.

"Thank you Anjali, you have given me the best gift of God."

I smiled at him. He smiled at our little girl with eyes filled with love.

"What shall we name her?", Rohan asked with a thoughtful expression.

"Aisha."

He showed mixed expressions ranging from disbelief to shock to love.

"Why do u want to name her after Aisha?", he asked quietly.

"Look at her Rohan. She resembles Aisha di so much. I want to name her after her."

"Are you sure?", Rohan asked in a bewildered tone.

"Yes I am", I replied with a smile.

Soon our familes accepted that we are naming our daughter as Aisha. My parents were more than happy to be able to call someone as 'Aisha' again.

"Recover soon Anjali, I want to welcome you and Aisha into our home", Rohan said with a kiss on my forehead.

Aisha slept peacefully in the cot. She smiles beautifully and cries beautifully too.

"I love you Anjali. You dont know how happy I am."

"I love you too Rohan."

"What toys can I buy for her Anjali? Tell me so that I can prepare for welcoming you both", Rohan said in an excited tone.

"She will like whatever her daddy brings for her", I said with a smile.

Seven days passed quickly and soon it was time to be released from the hospital. Aisha looks like a princess now and no more a pink doll.

"You have given me the best gift of life Anjali, see the room and tell me if you like."

Rohan decorated Aisha's crib with all kinds of toys. Whenever she will open her eyes she will see ringing bells, colourful toys around her.

"I bought a teddy bear for her", Rohan said.

"Rohan she is just a few days old. She cant play with teddy bear", I rolled my eyes at him.

"Let me see, how she reacts after seeing the teddy..", with this Rohan placed a small pink teddy bear near Aisha. Her expressions were priceless. She touched the teddy bear with her feet and stared at it for a long time. After inspecting the teddy bear for a long time she burst into tears.

"I told you she will be scared", I took out Aisha from the crib and comforted her till she stopped crying.

"She is a brave girl. She wont be scared", Rohan argued.

This time Aisha didn't cry as she stared at the teddy bear, instead gave it a soft kick and smiled confidently at her victory.

"I told you, she is my brave girl", Rohan said confidently.

Life has given been the best joy. I want to treassure these moments in my heart forever. Her every action makes my heart flutter with love. Who says love cant happen at first sight? I fall in love with Aisha at every sight.
