Arnav opened the door to his room, his coat was hanging from his right shoulder while the left one supported his laptop bag.

"I'm-" His voice died in his throat as soon as his eyes landed on the sight in front of him. He gasped throwing his coat and bag on the bed to rush to the recliner where Khushi was lying unconscious.

"Khushi?!" Arnav patted her face, taking her unresponsive form in his arms. He carried her to their bed, terrified.

Sweat beads formed on his forehead as he fished out his mobile phone from his pocket to call the doctor.

***

"Arnav-ji.. Can you not go to office t..today?" Khushi had asked hesitantly.

Arnav turned to her confused. "What happened?" He asked cupping her face.

Khushi smiled slightly, "Nothing to worry, I just want you to stay today. I don't know why.." Khushi bit her lip.

Arnav smiled kissing her forehead. "I wish I could jaan. The delegation from America is here just for two days and if I cancel today's meeting, I'll not get the chance again for another year." He explained to her.

Khushi's face fell, causing a sigh to escape her husband's throat. "Khush.." Arnav reached for her and held her face between his palms.

"I understand.. I'm just being unreasonably childish." Khushi said softly

"You know I would never dare deny you for anything and make you sad like this. This is really important Khushi. I can't skip it or I wouldn't.." Arnav was cut short by Khushi who had her finger on his lips.

"I understand. Let's go get you your breakfast." Khushi said smiling and led him to the dining table

He remembered the last conversation they had, it was that morning and she had asked him to stay back. He had never before prioritized anything above his Khushi, no meeting, no deals were more important to him than her. Arnav sighed as he looked down at her. Her eyes were closed, she looked pale and weak.

Why did he have to leave today?

Arnav caressed her hair, her locks, so smooth had felt like butter to his hands. He looked at her unconscious form, she looked pale and worn out, Arnav brushed his fingers on her face, moving the stray strands of her hair behind her ear. Arnav bent to kiss her forehead, letting his lips linger on her skin for a little longer.

"How is Khushi doctor, is there anything to worry?" Arnav

"There is nothing to worry about Mr. Raizada, She has fainted due to weakness. She should rest for a few days and that would do the trick. Make sure she doesn't exert herself too much or things might get a little complicated." She said softly.

Arnav nodded.

Arnav was sitting next to Khushi, holding her hand tightly. Khushi opened her eyes, heavy with drowsiness.

"Khushi.." Arnav exclaimed softly, cupping her face.

"Ar..Arnav-ji?" Khushi frowned trying to clear her head.

"I'm here.. Khushi." Arnav said while helping her to sit on the bed.

"When did you come?" Khushi asked

"I.. an hour back, How are you feeling?" Arnav said

"I'm fine" Khushi assured him. "I.. actually-"

Arnav pulled her into his arms. "I'm sorry."

Khushi looked at him surprised, "Arnav-ji.. I'm fine."

"I shouldn't have left." Arnav sighed.

Khushi cupped his face, and kissed his forehead. "Trust me, it's okay. I'm perfectly fine. It's nothing to worry about."

"The doctor said you were weak, I was not there to take care of you, you were all alone, what if something-" Arnav closed his eyes at the mere thought as Khushi silenced him with a peck of his lips.

"Hush.." Khushi mumbled.

"I can't bear the thought of ever losing you" Arnav spoke burying his face in the crook of her neck.

Khushi caressed his hair, calming him down. "I'm not going to go anywhere Arnav-ji." She assured him.

Arnav nodded, still in her arms.

"Arnav-ji.. I'm hungry." Khushi pouted.

Arnav withdrew from the hug and looked at his wife who was pouting cutely. "Of course." He smiled and scooped her in his arms, carrying her downstairs to their dining room.

"Arnav-ji" Khushi gasped, holding the front of his shirt tightly.

At the dinner table, Arnav was looking at Khushi intently while she ate like a child of five years.

"What are you looking at?" Khushi asked

"I am looking at you, my angel, Someone I don't deserve to have all for myself but.. can't bear to lose either." Arnav smiled

Khushi blushed.

"I was very scared when I found you like that.. unconscious." Arnav confessed.

"I know." Khushi whispered. "I.. actually wanted to tell you something."

Arnav became alert, "Are you okay love.. Is it-"

"Listen to me Laad-Governor, at least let me speak." Khushi said with a soft chuckle.

Arnav bit his lip, "Sorry. Go on."

Khushi exhaled deeply, "I.. was not feeling well for the last.. last few days."

"What?" Arnav asked incredulously. "Why didn't you tell me earlier you-"

"Shh.. Listen to me." Khushi placed her finger on his lips causing him to shut-up.

Arnav pouted at her.

"I was feeling.. weak and nauseous and I had also missed my last period."

Arnav nodded.

"Arnav-ji.. I know, we'd not planned.. I didn't even realize.. till last week and.. and today, I-I finally took the pregnancy test." Khushi informed him.

Arnav was looking at her unblinking.

"Arnav-ji?" Khushi held his hand.

"Are you-" Arnav asked, his eyes were full of tears.

Khushi nodded, chewing on her lower lip nervously.

"I have done a home pregnancy test, and its positive. I'll have to visit the gynecologist tomorrow for a check-up." Khushi informed him.

"I think that I might have fainted because of that." Khushi added as an after-thought

Arnav was staring at her blankly, making Khushi's nervousness shoot up a notch higher.

"Arnav-ji, Please say something." Khushi prompted, tugging at his hand.

Arnav jerked out of his thoughts, "I'm sorry, I-I zoned out. Just give me a minute." He requested politely.

Khushi nodded, "It's okay.. Take your time."

For a few minutes, the room was drowned in silence which was broken by Arnav "You had fainted, Will it happen--Can it happen again?" He asked worriedly

"Although I am not an expert in the symptoms and complications of pregnancy, But I am sure there are medicines to prevent excessive morning sickness and.. Other such things. We still have to visit the gynecologist tomorrow. We will her ask everything." Khushi told him.

"Why didn't the doctor tell me anything when she had visited?" Arnav asked

"She might've assumed you know since I have  an appointment with her." Khushi reasoned.

Arnav nodded and a small yet bright smile lit up on his face. "You're pregnant. We are.. We are going to become parents." He exclaimed joyously. Khushi smiled and nodded.

"Khushi.. I might not have said it before, but in this moment, I just know that I needed it. I  needed it so much Khushi." Arnav said as his emotions showed themselves in the form of his tears.

Khushi wiped his tears leaning to his side. "Tears don't suit you Arnav-ji" She chuckled softly.

He stood up from his chair and crouched in front of Khushi.

"What are you doing?"

"Shh.. let me talk to our baby" Arnav mock-glared at her.

Khushi frowned.

"Hi baby, I'm your Daddy. You surprised me, little one, I was not expecting your arrival so soon. That doesn't mean I don't want you to come. I do baby." Arnav spoke to the baby in Khushi's womb in a gentle voice, "I am not going to lie, daddy is very nervous and so is mumma. You'll be our first born and I am terrified that I might make mistakes. What if I do something wrong What if.."

Arnav looked up at his better half who was smiling affectionately down at him. "The only thing that I am sure of, is that I will try my best to become a good father to you and I will love you more than my own life. I will protect you to the best of my capabilities and I will never let you face anything alone. Your parents will always be there for you baby." He assure himself and Khushi more than the baby.

"I'm sure that you will be the best father to our baby." Khushi said holding his hand gently

Arnav smiled and hugged her close to his chest. "Thank you khushi!!"

"Why are you thanking me?" She asked

"Because you're my angel who has brought light to my darkness, and if not for you I wouldn't have known what happiness is." Arnav confessed

Khushi stroked his hair, and dropped kisses on his head. "I love you."

"I love you too." Arnav confessed

"I'll accompany you to the hospital tomorrow." Arnav announced.

"Aye Aye Captain."

Arnav then kissed her tummy. "I love you baby." 

"Baby loves daddy too." Khushi whispered

"This is the best day of my life." Arnav whispered to her.

I had been trying to complete this OS for a week. Finally, I'm out with it.
