"Mubarak ya Yahya wa Imran." Hamza congratulated his brothers with a hug,"Two more brothers have become handcuffed." He said teasingly and his brothers laughed.

"Jazakallah ughi." Yahya told him and they sat down.

"How does it feel to be married?" Both the brothers shrugged.

"It's still the same but I'm waiting for the change to set in." Hamza petted Imran's back.

"Well once it does if you need a passport to fly away feel free to come to me." They laughed and Yahya looked at him with a teasing smile.

"Ready to be an abi as yet?" Hamza shook his head,"Not really hey but I'm getting there.I don't think it will settle in until the twins are born hey."

Imran and Yahya looked at him with shocked expressions,"Twins?" They said in unison and Hamza nodded proudly.

"Mubarak ughi." They both petted his shoulder and Hamza knew Imran was about to drop a stupid joke.

"Now you going to be a man with two wives and two babies all a package deal." Hamza rolled his eyes but there was a smile on his lips.

"Yeah but its the best thing that could happen to me."

"So how's things going to work once the babies are born?" Hamza looked at Yahya extremely confused.

"What do you mean?" Yahya smiled at him.

"Obviously your time with both wives is going to change because the children will need you and Aamanah will need help."

"We building a joining entrance between both apartments and Nazmeera has already made up her mind to move back into Aamanah's apartment for the time being.And she decided that I must spend most my time with Aamanah."

Yahya nodded but Imran gave him one of his stupid smiles,"Imagine Hamza being in a house full of women only,he'll have to dress up like Cinderella and Ariel." The two of them looked at Imran like he'd lost his mind and he gave them offended looks,"Cinderella and Ariel Disney princesses?Cinderella lost her shoe and Ariel was a mermaid turned woman turned mermaid?" Hamza and Yahya shook their heads,"Oh yes I forgot I was the one left with our baby sister most of the time I've watched those Disney movies about a million times."

"Guess who'll make a great father then?" They all turned around to see Aamanah and Nazmeera who were smiling amusedly.

"As salaam mu alaykum ughti Aamanah and ughti Nazmeera." Hamza stood up and went to stand on the other side of Aamanah.

"Manah what are you doing here?You supposed to be resting?" Aamanah smiled at Nazmeera who gav her an amused glance before picking Hamza's baby sister,Tahira up and walking away.

"Habib I was hungry and I needed fresh air as well so I came out." Hamza told his brothers he would see them later and led Aamanah to a table,taking a seat next to her.

"Let me dish out for you." He dished out for Aamanah,"What do you want to drink water,apple juice or orange juice?"

"Apple please." Hamza gave it to her and they spoke as she ate.Aamanah's gaze fell on Nazmeera who was feeding Tahira at another table.

"She would make a great mother Hamza." Hamza followed her gaze and he smiled.

"You will also make a great mother Manah." Aamanah gave him a 'duh' look.

"I mean you guys need to start thinking about having children." Hamza sighed.

"I have but Nazmeera wants to wait until the twins are born and about a year or two old until she has a child with me because she wants the twins to have my maximum attention.I agree with her I need to spend more time with the twins and after that we'll think of having more children."

Aamanah laid her head on his shoulder and Hamza held her hand,"I can't wait for our children to be running around."

"Me too.Little Aamanah's everywhere." Aamanah pulled back and shook her head.

"No mini Hamza's." They begun arguing and then Hamza put his hand over her mouth.

"Mini Aamanah's and that's it." Aamanah moved his hand and pouted.

"Whatever." Hamza gave her a glare and poked her side causing Aamanah to squeal.

"Girls."

"Boys."

"Girls."

"Boys."

"Girls."

"Boys."

"How about a girl and a boy?" They both looked up to see an amused Nazmeera,Yahya and Imran along with their brides Zahraa and Hawa.

"But I want two boys." Aamanah whined and Nazmeera knew Hamza would spark another argument so she quickly spoke.

"We should start leaving otherwise we won't reach the tribe before sunset." Hamza nodded and after congratulating the couple once again they went to greet everyone and after an hour they were in the car.

"I'm tired." Aamanah said with a yawn and Nazmeera petted her thigh.

"I'll go to the front seat you can lay down here." Aamanah gave her a grateful smile and Nazmeera climbed from the back into the front and settled down on the front seat.Hamza glanced at her and she smiled at him.

"Hi." Hamza reached over and held her hand.

"Hi." Nazmeera looked back to see Aamanah laying down and her eyes closed,she smiled.

"She's been very tired these past few days." Nazmeera nodded and let her head fall back.

"She needs all the sleep she can get once the twins are here there'll be no sleep for her."

"That's true.Has she told you what we've thought about the names?" Nazmeera nodded looking at him and she pulled her legs under her body.

"Yep.Umme Khultum and Ayesha if the babies are girls and Umar and Uthmaan if the babies are boys.I like all the names and more so the boys."

Hamza chuckled,"She really wanted the khalifah's names."

"Yeah she..." Nazmeera yawned and Hamza shook his head.

"You've been up as well.Take a rest." Nazmeera shot him a grateful smile and lowered the seat before closing her eyes.

Aamanah felt the car come to a stop and she woke up rubbing her eyes.

"We here."

Sh sat up yawning and watched Hamza wake Nazmeera up before he got off and came to open her door.She got out and looked around weird by the fact that there was no one from the tribe to welcome them.

"Where is everyone?" Nazmeera asked and they begun walking into the tribe,Hamza's arm wrapped securely behind Aamanah's back.As they progressed onwards they hear a scream come from the meeting grounds.The trio looked at one another and they made there way towards the scream.

When they entered they saw everyone sitting around and a few people in the middle.They could hear someone sobbing and another angry outburst.

"Why did you'll not speak before?Right now the respect of two families are on the line?" They saw Sulaiman standing in front of Uwais and Hanifa who stood with their heads lowered.Nazmeera's gaze fell on Zainub who was in her father's embrace and crying.

"We didn't know what to say." Sulaiman stepped forward and grabbed Uwais by the collar of his kurta,"You didn't know what to say!" He roared shaking the man and his father pulled him away.

"You've crushed a young woman's dreams and you thought to be silent until a few days before the wedding would be better.The two of you are sick.Now what will happen you two tell me?" He turned to Abi Jameel who raised his voice from his higher platform.

"I will tell you what will happen.Abi Sulaiman and Abi Zayad step forward." The two men stepped forward and Abi Zayad stepped forward with his daughter still in his embrace,"Abi Zayad will you allow your daughter,Hanifa to become the bride of Uwais Ibn Mahmoud?"

Both men looked at him with wide eyes and Abi Zayad spoke with an angry face,"Then what will happen to my other daughter who was bound to marry Uwais?"

Abi Jameel raised his hand,"First tell me do you'll agree and then I will tell you'll who will marry your other children."

Abi Zayad and Abi Waseem looked at on another,being brothers their eye contact was enough to discuss it.Abi Waseem took the lead.

"We have no choice now so yes we do agree." Abi Zayad only nodded his head and Abi Jameel did so as well.

"Now do tell us who will marry our other children." Abi Zayad demanded.

"Before I discuss that with you'll I want to speak with Sulaiman and Zainub in private." Everyone nodded and Abi Zayad whispered something to his daughter who nodded her head.Zainub lifted her head and wiped her tears before following Sulaiman to the tent,"You all can disperse." At Abi Jameel's command everyone got up to leave and Ummi Jameel's eyes fell on her children.

She rushed forward and embraced Aamanah,"Welcome my child.How long have you'll been here?"

"We came now ummi.What happened here?" Ummi Jameel sighed turning to hug and kiss Nazmeera before ushering them to the tent.Once they were inside Ummi Jameel begun explaining.

"Uwais and Hanifa like one another and they didn't say a word up until now when they had to sign the nikaah papers.So now Abi Jameel is trying to fix the problem they have created." Nazmeera and Aamanah graced one another with stunned looks.

"That's insane.Why didn't they say anything?"

"Apparently they didn't know what to say."

Hamza shook his head,"Well that's stupid of them they could have just told the truth in the beginning."

Ummi Jameel nodded her head before looking at her daughter and put her hand on her tummy,she gasped seeing how big her daughter was and then smiled.

"You having twins." Aamanah nodded and a light blush covered her cheeks.

"Subhanallah mabrook." She kissed her daughter's forehead and looked towards her son in law,"Mabrook Hamza."

"Jazakallah ummi." The she looked at Nazmeera who was smiling at her before narrowing her eyes.

"Why you so happy?" Nazmeera looked at her offended,"My sister is pregnant can't I be happy plus I'm going to be the children's foster mother so double happiness for me."

Ummi Jameel looked at Aamanah and Nazmeera in surprise,"She's going to foster your children?"

Aamanah nodded and Ummi Jameel pulled her daughter closer kissing her cheek,"I am very happy with your decision.May Allah bless you all."

"Ameen." The flap is the tent opened and Abi Jameel strolled in stopping in his steps when he saw his daughters and son in law.

"As salaam mu alaykum." He hugged Nazmeera and then moved to Aamanah who stood and pulled her into an embrace,"How are you my child?"

"Alhumdulliah I am well abi."

"That is good." He looked at his wife who's face was shinning,"Why are you so happy?"

"Because we going to be grandparents to a pair of twins." Abi Jameel's eyes went wide and he turned to face his daughter with a huge smile before embracing her once again.

"Mabrook binti.Mabrook." He kissed her cheek and then pulled Hamza into an embrace,"Mabrook ibnon." He petted his back and turned to face Nazmeera before smiling and pulling her into an embrace once again.

Nazmeera felt at home in her uncle's arms and she closed her eyes.

"Your father is a vile man for doing what he did." Nazmeera pulled away looking at him with a confused look and he nodded towards Hamza.

"He told me and I am very angry as is your grandfather." Nazmeera shook her head and held her uncle's hand.

"Amm don't worry about it I am fine and anyway I know not to take it to heart.It's an old matter forget about it."

"No it won't be forgotten." They turned to face Abi Abdullah who entered the tent with the help of his second son,Abi Ismail.

"As salaam mu alaykum jadon." They all greeted him and Abi Jameel brought forward a chair which he took a seat in.Aamanah went forth to greet him and he pulled her down to place a kiss on her forehead.

"Mabrook my child.I am very happy for you." He pulled out a stack of notes and took two,he put it in her hand.

"Jadon I..."

"No words.Just keep it.Hamza come here." When Hamza came close enough he pulled him down to kiss his forehead and did the same before looking at Nazmeera who automatically went forward and sat down in front of him.

Abi Abdullah reached forward and held her hands in his shaking ones,"What Abi Sufyaan did was absolutely wrong and he will be punished for it.My dear child do not be disheartened for one day that man will realize his faults.You are a brave child and you have always been brave.You supporting your sister was right,taking her out of that marriage with that useless man was right and you giving her a shelter was right.You will be rewarded do not be disheartened by that mans vile words.He has never spoken kind words and I never expect him to." Nazmeera felt tears well up and she laid her forehead on her jadon's leg,her tears flowing as he caressed her hair.

Aamanah laid next to Hamza,her head resting on his chest and she fiddled with his shirt buttons.

"I was thinking maybe we can make a nursery even though I want the children to sleep in the cribs in our room." Hamza thought about it and nodded his head.

"Just to keep their clothes and perhaps their changing beds.I'll give the interior designer a call." Aamanah shook her head slightly.

"No we'll do it ourselves then it will have an intimate touch."

"No..." Aamanah lifted her head and glared at him causing him to nod his head,"Okay fine we'll do it ourselves." Aamanah smiled brightly and leaned forward to press a kiss to his lips before pulling back.

"Good,now let's go get me some food." Hamza smiled and got up,he found it kind of amusing that Aamanah held out a hand so he could pull her up.

"Come let's go." As they walked through the tribe many people came up to them and greeted.The elder women touched her baby bump and congratulated her while the younger women hugged her.

Aamanah waited outside the kitchen at one of the tables while Hamza went to fetch her a plate of food.She watched everyone walk around and do their own things.Her eyes fell on a couple whose child kept running back and forth from the playground area.She smiled thinking just how much that would be Hamza and her.

Hamza came out of the tent to see Aamanah smiling whole looking at a couple with a child.He knew that she would make a great mother and he was happy to see that she was faring so well.He walked towards her and put the food down.

"Here you are Habibty." Aamanah smiled at him taking her plate and begun eating.Hamza did the same and his eyes fell on Nazmeera who had just exited a tent.She looked relieved in a way and when her eyes fell on him and Aamanah her smile widened but she went another way.Hamza frowned but then shook his head,he did not control Nazmeera.

Nazmeera made her way to through the tribe and smiled as she passed the people around her,they all knew her and they respected her.She came to a set of tents and made her way to one in specific.She asked for permission to enter and she was granted permission.

When Nazmeera entered she smiled at Ummi Zayad who gave her tight smile indicating with her head towards her daughter who laid on her bed sobbing.Nazmeera nodded and Ummi Zayad after hugging her briefly exited the tribe.

Nazmeera went and sat next to Zainub who's sobbing had not died down,"Zainub." Zainub gradually lifted her head and on seeing Nazmeera hugged her tightly.Nazmeera tightened her arms around Zainub.

"It's all going to be okay Zainub.It's all going to fall into place.We here for you."

"Why Nazmeera?Why did they betray me like that?My own blood sister and my fiance.I hate her Nazmeera,I hate her so badly.Did she not once think about me and my happiness?She's always stolen my happiness and the one time where I thought I was genuinely going to have happiness she took that also." Zainub pulled back wiping her tears roughly,"I really liked Uwais and look what happened.Why does this always happen to me?"

Nazmeera held her best friend's hands and looked her in the eye,"When Yacob (AS) was told by his son's that Yusuf (AS) has been killed by a wolf and Yacob (AS) knew that they were lying.Do you know what he said?"

Zainub nodded,"Fa Sabrun Jameel."

Nazmeera nodded,"He said that because he knew that this was a test for him from Allah and he kept his patience.Years later his son was returned to him.This my dear friend is a test from Allah the Almighty and what He does always has a reason behind it,always remember that.I know that you really wanted to marry Uwais but maybe in you not marrying him there is some good."

Zainub gave her a pointed look,"Like what?Marrying Zainub?How is that good?"

Nazmeera chuckled,even in times of worry her friend found time to joke,"Well he isn't that bad and plus you guys just have bad blood for some weird reason."

"You quoting Taylor Swift." She said with a teasing smile but then got serious,"But you are right he is a good man and his a Hafiz and his hard working.I know that your father wants us to think it over but I'm scared to be left in the dust."

"Zainub have you spoken to him?Perhaps the two of you can discuss this and see if this is what you'll really want if not then say no.No one is pressurizing you." Zainub nodded and that moment the tent flap opened only to reveal Hanifa who looked guilty.Zainub immediately turned her face,her face a mask of anger.

"Nazmeera tell her to leave." Nazmeera watched Hanifa take a few steps forward.

"Ughti...."

Zainub cut her off abruptly,"Nazmeera tell her to leave I don't want to see her face and I don't want to talk to her.I am tired."

"Okay and I'll also leave.I'll tell your brother to arrange for a meeting between you and Sulaiman."

Sawleha nodded her head,"Jazakallah." She laid down and Nazmeera got off the bed,taking Hanifa by the arm.

"Ughti Nazmeera I...." Nazmeera held up her hand once they were outside before facing Hanifa.

"Aaminah right now is not a good time to be giving any explanation for yourself.You have hurt your sister and she is in no state to listen to you.Give her a few days eventually she will speak to you for now let her be." She watched Hanifa look at the tent before nodding her head and turning to leave.

Nazmeera made her way to her brothers so that they could inform Zainub's brother that he must arrange a meeting for her and Sulaiman.She made a sincere dua in her heart that everything would turn out fine.

Hamza walked out of the bathroom only to find Aamanah looking at herself in the mirror,tears running down her face.He hurried towards her and turned her so he could look at her face.

"Manah what happened?Why are you crying?" Aamanah looked up at him sniffling,tears falling down her cheeks.

"I look like a whale." Hamza blinked once then he blinked again and then it hit him.Pregnancy hormones.He smiled at Aamanah and shook his head,cupping her face in both his palms.

"No love you look absolutely amazing.You don't look like a whale." Aamanah pushed him away looking back into the mirror then at him,pointing an accusing finger.

"You my husband,it's your duty to say that.You just going to leave me and have an affair because I'm so fat." Hamza had to bite his lip because of theurge to smile at his wife,who's pregnancy hormones were amusing Jim.He moved closer to her and reached forward to hold her hands in his.

"I love you that's why I'm telling you,you don't look fat.I won't have an affair because you look amazing." Aamanah looked up at him from,her lips pulled in a slight pout.

"You promise?" Hamza kissed the tip of her nose and nodded,"I promise.Now Nazmeera should be on her way to help you get dressed while I go for read salaah."

Aamanah wiped her tears away and just then they heard Nazmeera call from outside,Hamza told her to enter and when she saw Aamanah's red face she immediately glared at Hamza.She put the clothing bags in her hand on the bed and put her hands on her hips.

"What did you do?" Hamza picked up his hands in surrender.

"I never do anything wallah." Nazmeera walked to Aamanah and pulled her into an embrace,still glaring at Hamza,"Then why is she crying?"

Aamanah giggled pulling away from Nazmeera's embrace,"Pregnancy hormones caught me once again." Nazmeera looked down at her and cracked a smile.

"That bad?" Aamanah nodded and Nazmeera pulled her in for another hug,"No problem I got the perfect solution to cheer you up and....."

"Ouch." Aamanah said pulling away putting a hand to her tummy and Nazmeera looked at her in shock,Hamza came closer.

"What...."

"Did the baby just kick?" Hamza looked at Nazmeera shocked and his eyes went wide when Aamanah took in another sharp breath,"I think the babies are kicking." They moved Aamanah to a chair and when she sat down she grabbed Hamza's hand and put it on the spot where she felt it twice.

"I can't feel...." Hamza gasped when he felt the light thump against his palm and his mouth fell open.

Aamanah chuckled,"I thought I felt it these past few days but I thought it was imagination....Ouch." She winched as two hard thumps hit her womb,"Great I have two Mo Salah's in my womb." Nazmeera and Hamza chuckled at her Liverpool reference.

Hamza felt a thump under his palm and felt tears well up when he felt it again and he leaned forward to press a kiss to her tummy,"Hey babies." He looked up at Aamanah who was looking down at him with a look of adoration,"You amazing."

Nazmeera looked away when she felt that she was intruding on their moment only for Aamanah to tug at her hand,she looked at Aamanah with a smile.

"Yes?" Aamanah glared at her,"Sit down and feel it." Nazmeera sat down and Aamanah put her hand on the other side where she felt a thump.Nazmeera smiled brightly when she felt a thump there and Aamanah winched.Nazmeera noticing pulled away and stood up.

"I think you should rest during the nikaah ceremony...." Aamanah glared at her.

"Huh uh I'll manage.Plus I never buy a dress just to sit in my room plus I want to glare at Aaminah so let's get ready.Hamza you can leave." Hamza gave her an offended glance.

"You mean." Aamanah hissed and Hamza gave her cheeky smile,"See they don't want me to leave."

Aamanah gave him a sarcastic smile,"Well then maybe you can sleep on the couch tonight." Hamza huffed and turned to look at Nazmeera who looked away at the cupboards as if it were the most interesting thing.

"Fine I'm going.Bye.You both are mean to me." Hamza left and the women laughed at his small tantrum.Nazmeera helped Aamanah up and then took out her dress from the clothing bags.

She helped Aamanah into her dress and zipped it up.Aamanah sat down and Nazmeera begun doing her makeup.Once Nazmeera once done she looked into the mirror and gasped.

"Jazakallah Nazmee.I look stunning." Nazmeera nodded her head indeed she did look stunning.Aamanah wore a nude floor length dress that had a bow just above her bump that fell comfortably against her baby bump and she paired it with nude pumps.Nazmeera wore her a scarf of the same colour and most of her makeup was in nude tones.

Nazmeera helped Aamanah sit down before getting dressed and she did her makeup.When she stood in front of the long mirror she had to say she looked quite nice.She wore a beige top which she tucked into a black skirt with flowers all around and she wore black heels.

"MashaAllah both my wives look stunning." They turned to look at Hamza who smiled at them both and he first went to Aamanah and dripped a kiss on her forehead before kneeling down and kissing her covered tummy then he went to Nazmeera and kiss her on the forehead as well.

"MashaAllah,I don't think anyone will look at the bride now." They both rolled their eyes at him and Hamza went to change into his white kurta which fit him like perfectly and Nazmeera helped Aamanah up.

Everybody's eyes were on the trio as they entered the site where the marriages took place.They watched how Nazmeera helped Aamanah sit down then sat down next to her and how Hamza sat on her other side.They watched the two women laugh at something he said and then face the front only for Hamza to lean over and say something causing Nazmeera to tap his nose.This was an unusual sight but everyone felt a happiness seeing the trio so happy.

They watched Sulaiman and Uwais stand in front of the Sheikh.Hamza recognized Waseem's posture was tense and he kept his gaze in front of him.Soon the women were to enter and as soon as they came in took their to be husbands side.The couple watched as Zainub moved towards Sulaiman who turned around and smiled at her reassuringly.The two of them did not even bother to gaze at the couple besides them and the Sheikh begun the khutba before conducting the nikaah.

There was a slight hesitation from Zainub which got cleared once Sulaiman gave her another reassuring look and lo and behold they were wedded.Perhaps they were just the start of a new story.
