Zoya's pov :
Ahad has been pacing restlessly for almost an hour and yelling over his phone. He was conversing about an important project. He need to visit Italy to represent our company but he was not ready to move his bone since I am reaching my due date...
Poor girl... I feel sorry for Aayat she's been putting up with all his frustrations and taking extra care about his schedules. But what that fragile girl will do? There is no point of showing up his anger on her.
Suddenly I feel as if I am troubling everyone around me, and I felt a kick. I hope my baby agrees with me. I feel so bad for Ahad... I am bothering my husband a lot.
"Why didn't you finish your juice yet? You've been sitting with this glass for about half an hour. " he stroked my hair lovingly...
I cupped his face and asked him " What's the problem? "
He sighed and told me " They wanted me to give the presentation in Italy if not they'll close the deal. "
"Then you should go... " I told him hiding the sadness in me, honestly I don't want him to move an inch away from me.
"Are you nuts.. Just shut up Zoya, don't make me yell at you. What do you think ? I will leave you and persue the project knowing my wife is left with merely 10 days to deliver my baby." he nearly yelled.
"That's what I am telling you Ahad... We have 10 days ... You can be back within a week... Go give the presentation and come back... You are not gonna stay there for vocation, isn't it? Just don't stress yourself. I am sure you'll be here with us on time. " I tried to explain him however I am not at all comfortable with my own idea... It's the dream project for him and how can I be the reason for ruining it.
After an hour of arguing, I convinced him to visit Italy and he is moving tonight in our private plane.
"We'll miss you Ahad, come fast. " I thought to myself , I didn't tell him straightly because I know he will stay back with me.
It's been two hours and I already feel empty I am lying on my mom's lap to run away from loneliness. she was whispering sweet nothings to me. But I miss him. I want him now... I wanna cry.
"You are an idiot Zoya. " told my brain and my baby kicked agreeing to it. Only that thought brought a smile on my face.
"Do you miss daddy? " and then another kick from my baby.. Confirmed it.
I chuckled ...
I was feeling little irritated and sticky although the air conditioner was on. I couldn't eat so, I asked my mom to spoon feed me.
She told me she's gonna get me milk and went out and I am feeling completely off mind. I felt little uncomfortable with my lower extremity and few hard kicks landed one after the other..
"Ah.. What are you doing? " I asked my baby and that didn't let it stop.
I desperately want Ahad now.. OK I'll call him.. I don't know I can't handle it anymore.
I am unaware whether the feeling of him being away from me or something else is making me feel vexed and unpleasant.
Allah...
All on a sudden... My head started to spin and a pang of pain hit my lower back... It was unbearable.
My breathing was labored and I am profusely sweating..
I need water... Need water..
I caught hold of my back and stood up from the bed to the nearby table to get the water bottle.
It slipped from my hand and I got skid off.... My tummy was about to hit the sharp edge of the table and I screamed panicked, just when a strong pair of arms which protected and shielded me from all the odds and evils came for rescue.
Ahad...
His one hand was on my tummy and the other supporting my weight, preventing me from falling.
"See... That's why I told you I am not going. " he told looking onto my eyes and I tried to wrap my hands around him ignoring my baby bump. That's when another sharp pain hit my lower back and I screamed loudly this time.
"What happened love? Are you OK? Are you hurt anywhere." He asked panicking.
"Ah... " this time I cried out of pain and tried to bring my words out. "Ah.. Ahad... My back.. It's pain.. Ahh... It's paining a lot." And I supported his hand to stand, but couldn't... I just couldn't able to stand.
He gave me an terrified look and carried me by arms to get us to the car... I could feel wetness along side my dress and literally fainted to know my water broke..
I started to cry and he soothed me with his words making me lean onto him in the back seat and our driver Ali bhai started the car.
"It's gonna be OK... Listen to me... Now calm down... Breath.. Baby... Breath.. " he kept whispering to me but I couldn't stop my tears... I still have time for my date, but my water broke. I am just worried about my baby. It kept shifting from onside to the other and I am really frustrated.
We reached the hospital and I was taken by my doctor for cheakup fortunately she was here at 11:00 pm.
Alhamdhulillah...
She told me that my water broke...
I knew it, you stupid women... Tell me about my baby... As if listening my curses she replied,
"Your baby is fine, you don't have to worry about your pain they are just false pains and occurred mainly because of stress and frustration. Don't worry the amniotic fluid will regenerate till the baby comes out and you are under my observation. All you have to do now is relax... " Told doctor Chitra and I was bit relaxed alhamdhulillah... my baby is safe.
She went to my husband and told patting his shoulder " Well.. you can expect your small one soon Mr. Khan ... Maybe in few hours.. " she turned and winked at me before leaving our room.
I don't know how to feel... Happy about my baby's arrival or terrified about my delivery... Pain... I closed my eyes tightly and felt an arm circling me before pulling me into a hug.
We were silent for a while... Ahad send my mom and his mom to home and sat with me Thank God he didn't go to Italy... My eyes were filled with tears and I asked him " You di...didn't go? "
" I went to the airport but then got a aberrant feeling... I felt little distressed and I decided to come back home... Hell with the project Zoya... if not this, I'll get a better one. So stop thinking about it... And think about our baby... It's gonna be with us... So soon inshaallah... " he told me looking into my eyes.
" It's gonna pain like crazy, isn't it? I am scared Ahad. " I told him honestly.
"Shuhhh... I know you can handle this sweetheart... For now just calm down and get some sleep... Relax baby... Come here. " he pulled me to a hug and gently rubbed my back.
I closed my eyes and slowly sleep over took me..
I shifted a little and opened my eyes when sunlight hit my face, Ahad's hand stroked my hair placing a kiss on my forehead. "Are you alright sweetheart." I just nodded in response.
I got up with the help of him to use the restroom and came back after refreshing myself and I decided to pray. I felt a little hungry and Ahad fed me with fruits.
I was OK when I started to have my food then all on a sudden a sharp pain hit my lower back again, it was 1000 folds worse than the pain I felt last night and I screamed in agony.
I got an contraction in my lower abdomen and It was impossible to handle.. I clutched Ahad's shirt and closed my eyes and he screamed for the doctor.
In a swift moment, I was shifted to the labor Ward and only Ahad was with me. One after the other my contractions came worse... And they were unbearable.
Allah..... Please help me...
"Zoya... Listen to me dear... You have to push... Just during your next contraction.... If not it's gonna be difficult for both baby and you....." My doctor told me worried.
"Zoya didn't you listen what she told you... You need to push love.... Please... Listen to her. " Ahad told me and got onto my nerves.
"What the hell you think I am doing from morning...? Playing football? Just shut up you don't understand. " I yelled at him.
I mean, I am onto my labour from morning and it's around evening, his baby didn't wanna come out I guess. I am trying my best and he is advising me to obey the doctor.
He moved towards end of my bed and waited along with the doctor he was sweating just like me and aghast, I know he was equally frightened but that doesn't mean he can irritate me like this.
I moved my leg when the next contraction hit me and my knee came into contact with his body part where the sun doesn't shine.
He stumbled clutching his pants, breathed hard just like me and one of the nurse couldn't stop laughing...
What will I do? Who asked him to stand at the end of the bed.
I screamed in agony one other time and this time the pain was horrific... And I started to lose consciousnesses "Oh my God, She is bleeding a lot... Zoya please.... Don't give up I know you are a fighter... Come on open your eyes... If not we can't save you both. " told the doctor patting my shoulder. And everything blacked out.
I opened my eyes and sucked in a hard breath when someone started to shake me wildly... "Zoooyaaa.... Come on... Get up idiot... You can't leave me... You have to push... Please for me.. For our baby... One last time... Try... Don't give up doll.. I am with you... Do it... For our baby... Just last time... Do it. " He was holding my hand tight.... And with a sudden excited strength , I pushed will all the energy I have in my body.. Screaming "Aaahhhhhhh...... "
I felt a sudden loss and a part of me slipping from my body... It was a different experience and I had tears not because of pain but because I heard it.. A CRY... My baby's cry...
It was like a pleasant music to my ears...
Then I heard my doctor " It's a BOY... Congratulations Mr & Mrs Khan. " but still I can't open my eyes... My baby didn't stop crying .. Is he OK... Is he alright? I started to panic.
"Zoya... Look at your Son , I think he was so comfortable within you, he didn't wanna come out soon. The fiesty little Khan. " told the doctor and I opened my eyes gathering my left over strength to look at him.
My son, my boy, a little bundle of joy greesed with my blood was crying aloud, mostly he was looking irritated... As the doctor told, my son didn't like the idea of coming out I guess.
But little did you know my LOVE... how much your daddy and I waited for this moment. He was kept on me, close to my neck and his soft cheeks was currently touching mine and his cries subsided.... He seemed contended snuggled to me.
I lifted my gaze to look at Ahad and there was my other cry baby... Wiping his tears with his palms.. He did cried once in front of me but not like this. He took off his mask, came near our son and touched his cheek very carefully as if our son was made of glass and he will break.
But the moment Ahad touched our boy, he smiled... Yes our son's first smile. By now I am grinning like an idiot and my tears have no boundaries... Alhamdhulillah for this happiness.
Ahad hugged both of us securely and we were like that for a minuit or so. He kissed my forehead and mumbled " I Love you."
I replied " I love you too Mr. Ahad Yusif Khan... Thank you for dragging me into your life and giving me this wonderful present." He chuckled.
"I should thank you Zoya.. But trust me, I felt your pain.. And I love you more for this. " he told looking at our baby.
"OK... Fine will you both move now... I have to take him for a bath and have to have my lunch... I am hungry... Your son was really difficult and kept me away from my food. " the doctor whined playfully and took our son away from us.
And there... He started to cry again. The doctor told "Don't panic Zoya... We just have to give him a bath and clean him. And you too have to take some rest. Don't worry he'll be fine." they took my baby from me and my eyes closed on it's own accord.

Ahad's pov :
My world stopped the moment when Zoya gave up... Her eyes were closed and all her energy drained off. I really didn't know delivering a baby will be so much difficult.
"Mr. Khan, she is bleeding a lot and the baby wasn't pushed out yet. It's better if we go for a...
C-section. I am not sure I can save both of them but at least we can try. " told the doctor and my sky came crashing down...
No no no.... I want my wife... And my baby safe and sound. If at all I knew , it will end up like this, I wouldn't have got her pregnant. I started to yell at her and got her attention back. With one last push and violent scream, her head hit the pillow.
Then I saw it... And heard it.. It was crying.. It's my baby... Doctor told it was a boy and I have a son to love and cherish.
He was like an unbloomed rose with tiny legs and hands shaking ferociously, but once he was in contact with his mother... He stopped... He didn't cry... He gave a world's beautiful cute expression and snuggled onto her.
I didn't know the fact that, I was crying and weeping like a kid. I touched his cheek and he smiled... That soft delicate lips twitched.
My son.... My blood and flesh... My love.... Actually the first life I made with my love.
I hugged both of them and secured them in my arms.
I went out and informed to our family, who were anxiously waiting outside and prayed to thank my Allah and then distributed sweets to the whole hospital... Called my PA to offer food for the needies and anounced bonus to all the staffs of my company, I couldn't stop my happiness.
My son born today....

Zoya's pov :
I am resting my back on the headboard of my bed, tired of all the greetings and wishes. Our little Khan already grabbed all the attention from his grandparents, they were really happy. I didn't see my baby after they took him to give bath.
Why are they taking so much time..?
Then the door opened and there came him, wrapped in a white towel.
"So.. I think it's time to feed your son... He is hungry." said a sweet lady maybe a midwife and handed over my son to me. He didn't opened his eyes yet and was quite silent with an irritated look.
The expression I found with Ahad mostly when he was hungry.
I was kind of tensed, when I held him and she helped me to hold him properly. The moment I started to fed him ,was recorded in my heart and my whole world stopped, a strange sign of contentment and tears filled my eyes and I loved it.
Loved this little soul... I held his cute little delicate fingers and experienced a true and flawless relationship in the world.
A relationship of a mother and her child.
When my son was done , I snuggled close to his face and he opened his eyes and looked at me for the first time....
What the...... I felt very happy.
"He has got my eyes! " a voice came and someone hugged us from behind.
I was overwhelmed to the core that I didn't notice Ahad when I was feeding my son.
Yeah... He has got that same pair of mesmerizing brown orbs, his father uses it a lot against me, to faltter me, to threaten me, to love me. And now my son has got the same...
Alhamdhulillah...
