Chapter 20

The sky filled with fresh sunlight as the two love birds were entwined in their little cozy bundle of warmth. it was a perfect little world even though they weren't married they still felt married. Husband and wife an unbreakable bond two souls that were mated for life. Khushi snuggled close to her love while Arnav had an arm around her and his unborn child keeping them close to him. He watched how comfortable she was in his arms. It baffled him how innocent and child like she looked. Ever since the pregnancy news he had seen Khushi mature from her childish antiques to proper mother. She maybe child like from the surface with her silly cravings and stupid tantrums but from in she was rooted and guarded. Always putting their baby ahead of her just like a true mother would do for her child. This is why he admired her a lot. The urge to kiss her ran through his body and he slowly lifted his head and kissed her smooth fore head. She snuggled closer to him feeling his hard lips on her. He moved back into to position to admire her all over again.

Khushi who had her eyes shut was pretending to sleep but wasnt actually asleep. She was perfectly aware of Arnav's gaze on her. His stare was warm and it embarrassed her a lot. She was trying so hard not to blush. when he kissed her on the forehead she was about to melt which is why she snuggled closer to him to hide her face. But still she could feel his eyes roam all over her sandy skin. Without opening her eyes she said with a blush on her face and a cuteness in her voice 

Khushi: Stop it 

Arnav looked back at the sleeping beauty in his arms with raised eye brows and said

Arnav: Stop what!! 

Khushi: (shifting from his embrace she looked up with him with sleep in her eyes) staring at me!! 

Arnav: (smirked) How do you know I was staring at you, your eyes are closed 

Khushi: (stating the obvious) I dont need my eyes to know that your looking at me. I can feel it 

Arnav: (smirking he said) Is that so 

She nodded with a smile and he chuckled back at her. After a little talk they decided to get up. Khushi had another doctors appointment today was her sonography. Arnav had pushed aside all his meetings and work to be at this appointment it was a very big deal for the both of them. 

Khushi was excited to see the baby. She was waiting for the day to come when the baby would be out and just this glimpse meant a lot to her. Arnav on the other hand was nervous as hell. He had no idea how he would handle this. He was worried because the the span of 4 months so much had happened. Khushi had fainted alot of times she fell once from the stool. Then the stress of Shyam, he was worried what if the baby is damaged. The doctor had always told him that the baby was fine but today they would get a full report of the health. that was nerve wrecking for Arnav to deal with. 

They reached the doctors office. Khushi could see the nervousness on Arnavs face and she could tell that he was really scared. She knew it was something he was not use to dealing. She placed a hand on his and looked up at him with the sweetest smile and said

Khushi: Dont worry, its going to be all fine

Arnav: How can you be so sure of that, since your pregnancy there have been so many incidents that took place in that span. What if something happened to the baby Khushi (he said with worry)

She smiled back at hymn with a loving gaze and held his hand and then put it on her tummy and said

Khushi: Arnavji i agree with you there has been a lot that has happened but i know one thing and so does this little baby of ours. (she paused) You wont let any harm come to us. You will always protect us we know it. every time some one tried to say or do something to our baby you stood in front of it like a  fierce protector. there will be nothing wrong have faith Arnavji (she smiled)

Her words were a soothing balm on his aching and nervous heart. His tensed muscles relaxed and he kissed her hand and said.

Arnav: You really do know how to make me feel better, dont you

Khushi: (smiled back) you also do the same with me dont you

Arnav nodded they were interrupted with by the nurse who came in to call them

Arnav: Okay lets go see our baby

She smiled and he helped her up and they headed to Stellas office, Stella greeted them with a smile she made khushi change into a gown and then she lied down and lifted it. Arnav came in and held her hand during the process

Stella: So how are you Khushi

Khushi: I am good (she smiled)

Stella: Okay so today is your sonography, this will show us the health of the baby, its size, it will be able to listen to your child's heart beat. (she paused and then said) and the determine the sex of the baby.

There was a short pause in the room and then both Arnav and Khushi looked at each other and Arnav said

Arnav: Dont tell us the sex, we want to keep it a mystery

Khushi: (nodded with a smile) yes Doctor we would rather we know the day of the birth

Stella smiled at the couple. Arnav held Khushi's hand tightly and then Stella applied the gel on her tummy and with the help of the machine the image of Khushi's stomach was shown on the monitor adjacent  to them and suddenly they could hear a heart beat. Both the parents looked at each other with smiles on their face, glow in their eyes and stella said

Stella: Thats your babies heart beat. (she blushed as she saw the much in love couple)

Arnav: how is the babies health

Stella: the baby is fine Arnav it is fit as a fiddle (then she looked at the monitor and pointed a the monitor) thats your baby

Khushi was over joyed the baby looked so cute, even though it was only shown in black and white she still thought it was cute.

Arnav was also thrilled their child was okay, he was a bit at ease. He bent forward and kissed khsuhi on the fore head and said with a smile

Arnav: Thank you this is the best thing i have ever seen.

Khushi: (smiled) Oh Arnavji i am so happy this is happening and to with you.

Stella: so to sum it up your baby is perfectly fine and your pregnancy doesn't seem to show any complications. Just follow your diet and eat well and take care Khushi

Khushi: Yes doctor thank you so much

Stella smiled after that she wrote some more medicines to take and then the two of them left from the clinic. Both Arnav and Khushi felt as if they were on top of the world.
