6 months later

S gave her son a bath and was dressing him up.

S: Amma's swamy ranga!😍

LR: ooo...🥰

S: Naanamma's chinni krishnudu!😍

LR: ooo...🥰

S: Nanna's chota bheem!😍

He flailed his arms and legs in excitement.

S: Why so happy when I talk about your father?You like him so much?

LR: Oooo...🥰

S: I know why.Your nanna pampers you like anything...you don't bathe,you don't sleep,you don't eat,you make noise he doesn't mind at all so you like him more...right ??😃

He flashed a toothless grin at her as if agreeing.

S: Haha...My kanna is a good boy today.He had his bath without any fuss.Now I am going to hand you over to your nanna while I go have my shower.Ok baby?

She kissed his forehead and carrying him she went to the hall in search of her lazy husband.He was lying on the sofa on his stomach kicking his feet in the air whilst on a call.

S: See baby...throughout my pregnancy he was somewhat good now he started being a bad boy again what should I do with this man??😕

She stood behind him.He didn't realise she was there.

D: Mmm...Dips...you know how happy I am to do this project with you?It was one of my many wishes to have you in my movie.So cute you are.Pramod wanted you to come in sarees but it was I who protested with my fans by fasting unto death until he agreed and ensured you were given bikinis.If you are not happy tell me I will ask the costume designer to give you smaller clothes.😍

S: Smaller ah??Smaller than that means we have to give her your bib baby...😏

LR: Ooo...

D: Dips,you are not eating properly so you're looking undernourished.I have to make you eat first.Tomorrow I will bring first class biriyani prepared by my Sweetu...I will make round balls with rice and feed you...no no you shouldn't say no...this is how Shradhooo pappa and Poo pappa refused but after eating biriyani from my hand now they don't eat biriyani anywhere...whenever they feel like eating biriyani they come straight to my house and I feed them.Like that you also must come.

S: Ya ya she will come...won't I break her legs!!😡See baby,your nanna is calling Deepika and I have to sweat in the kitchen to cook a feast for her.Your nannamma warned me but I didn't listen gggrrr let her come I will add extra salt and chilli powder in the dishes making her run for her life seeing that no heroine should step foot here!!😤

Baby clapped in support of his mother's idea.

D: What?Your husband is a big Anushka Shetty fan ah?Huh...uh...mmm...No no no pls don't bring him to my house...err...mmm...he is too tall and my door frame is small he can't get in so... mmm...only you come.Me??Huh...mmm...oh I am taller no...hihihihi...there is a special entrance only for me.There is no place for other men in my house only exception is me and my son but girls are always welcome...🥰

S: Guys shouldn't come but I have to give red carpet welcome to his female co-stars!Shall we smack your nanna's head in Mirchi style baby??🤨

LR squealed as if he was ready for the attack.

S: You are my Mahendra only...ummah...come let's go!

D: Dips...such beautiful dimples you have...like my Sweetu you are also so sweet...hmm shall we rehearse the proposal scene once more??I will come running in slow motion,lift you off the ground swirl you around and say I...love...Jejjammaaa!!!!Oowww!!! 😖

Rubbing his head he turned to look at S who stood glaring at him with baby sitting across her hips.He sat upright.

D: Puppy ma!I was just talking highly about you to Dips huh...uh...Deepika ji...mmm remember our mirchi proposal scene??I was telling her that...😍

S: Enough.Put the phone down you have work!

D: Ok didi...convey my regards to jija ji...jejjamma is...I mean my amma is calling me...tata bye bye...😢

He ended the call.

S: Hold him!

D took LR from her who snuggled on his father's broad chest.

D: Why?Are you going out??

S: Nope! I am going to have oil bath.It will take some time.Till then you look after him.

D: Whaaattt???You can wait till Amma returns...I..I...have lots of work.🥺

S: What work you have ??Flirting with your crush cum heroine?You can do that later for now my son is your responsibility.😡

D: Sweetu...puppy ma...naa bangaram.....listen to me...🥺

But S went.D looked at his son who gave a drooly grin to his father.He smiled in return and held the little one close to his chest.

D: You must be bored baby let's play hide and seek.

D left baby on the couch and went to hide.After some time,

D: Is he counting till 100?Why so long?🧐

He came out of his hiding and saw baby on the sofa busy nibbling cushions.

D: No kanna no no...dirty...dirty...you shouldn't bite that!

He picked up his junior.

D: I told you to count no?Leaving that you are...

LR: Ooo...

D: Oh!!Sorry nanna!Sorry nanna!I forgot you haven't learnt to talk let alone count don't want that mmm...Ok I'll count you go hide oh no you can't crawl fast...hmm...Goat and tiger?No..no..no...that is mine and Amma's game you can't join us. What shall we do?Haan!We'll watch a movie!

After a while baby became restless and began to wail.

D: What happened kanna??No bites...you haven't soiled your diapers as well...then what??Oh you must be hungry then.Come,let's go to your food department,your Amma.

D knocked on the bathroom door.

S: Pupsooo...is everything alright ??Why is he crying ??

D: Sweetu,I think he is hungry...

S: His milk is there in the warmer on the dining table...kanna don't cry...Amma will come soon.

Baby became calm hearing his mother's voice.Back in the hall,D cushioned his son on his lap and pushed the bottle nipple gently into his mouth but the little one shook his head pressing his lips together tightly refusing to drink the milk.

D: This taste is not good??

D sucked from the bottle.

D: Buurrppp!!It's nice no,you didn't like?

LR: Waaahhhh...😭

D: Ok ok calm down baby...mmm I got an idea!

S came out after shower.

S: No noise from father and son? Hope everything is alright...

S came down to the hall and saw D rocking baby infront of the tv showing him 'bommali' song!

D: Yaadunte thaali I wanna make you aali...You're enjoying this song hihihi even I like this...see your Amma,how beautiful she is and that is me dancing with her...hmm...those were the good old days.You know kanna,that time your Amma too refused to eat from my hand like you didn't drink your milk then I did 'magic' and fed her biriyani and she ate like a good girl...what magic don't ask me now I will tell you when you are big enough to understand...

LR: Ooo...

S: Pupsoo,what are you teaching him??😟

D: I was just narrating him our love story.🥰

S: Love story?Is it something to be told to an infant?You have no shame and you want my son also to grow up shameless like you????😤

D paused the song and left baby on the carpet to calm his roaring lioness.

D: Not that puppy ma he should know how much his parents love each other so he too would know what it means to love and be loved.I'm giving him theory only practicals he'll only manage I am confident he is Amarendra's son afterall!These tips will help him in future to bring his Devasena home and make us proud!My son!😎

S: Gggrrr...fathers want their sons to bring back medals and degrees and look at you wanting him to bring home a Devasena...

D: Bahh..what's there in medals and degrees to show off to people?At the most we can hang it on the wall or keep it inside the cupboard and it will be collecting dust whereas if he brings a girl she will keep him happy they will have kids seeing that we will be happy and our family will be complete.Love and family is first puppy ma education,work all later.😌

S: Like how romancing me is your work,our son and your family is your hobby then in between these if you get time you go and act,for timepass.😕

D: You got the point Sweetu ma!You are very smart!😎

S: Of all men in the world I had to marry this one...🤦🏻‍♀️

D: Good no puppy ma...how happy and jolly you are with me!I don't stop you from shopping;you cook or don't I don't make a fuss; I don't hit you but if you smack me I take it; I rarely lose my cool with you; I take you out and buy you whatever you ask even though it burns a hole in my pocket just that I am a little naughty that you have to tolerate.Which woman is lucky as you?Above all you have me circling around you like the earth revolves the sun!!😃

He skipped around his Sweetamma making her laugh.

S: You are crazy!!☺️

D: Crazy about you!!😍

D encircled his hands around her waist and inched towards her face for a kiss.

S: Pupsoo...wait!No sound from baby??😳

D: Huh....yes where is he??😳

They looked around and found their little prankster sucking the tv screen thinking his mother was there.

S: Oh no no kanna amma is not there!

She picked her baby and hugged him.

S: Oh my poor baby is hungry sorry kanna sorry bujji ma...amma sorry...I should have looked into your needs first but your naughty nanna came in between and I got distracted.Forgive me baby....

She settled on the sofa and guided his mouth to her bosom.

D: So its all because of me??☹️

S: Yes you only.If you hadn't distracted me I would have fed my son my poor boy crawled all the way to the tv started sucking that out of hunger.

She nursed her baby looking lovingly at him while kissing his fingers.D sat infront of her and watched the mother-son bonding.

D: Mmm...puppy ma...I also want...keep some for me...🤤

He asked keeping an innocent face.S shot him a sharp look.

S: How do I look to you father and son??Like some lollipop or marshmallow??Day time your son and night time you.Giving you both there is nothing left.My amma fed me nutritious food brought me up chubby-chubby like only to be devoured by you.Ouch!He's biting!Shouldn't say a word about his father he will come for support.😖

D: Yaayyy...nanna thank you!! Give high-five!!!🙌🏼😃

He joined his giant palm with his son's.

S: He's getting distracted you both play later let him have his fill now.

The baby kicked his legs and flailed his arms enjoying his time with his parents.♥️

***

Later at night,S was slathering lotion on her buttery skin while D was cradling little rebel in his arms.He crooned a lullaby his father used to sing for him when he was a kid.LR's eyes got droopy and within no time he slept off.D lowered him into his cradle and rocked it gently admiring his son.

S went and stood beside him curving her hands around her husband's arm.She looked at her handsome son who was sleeping peacefully.

D: I've clicked so many photos with babies and children now I have one of my own I can't believe this Sweety!Feels like you revealed your pregnancy yesterday and now he's sleeping in the cradle!🤩

S: True.How long I've yearned to be a mother.I was kind of worried if I would be able to have a healthy child given my age but thankfully by god's grace I have a healthy kid.This is enough for me.

D: Enough?Nothing doing.We have made a boy now we need to make a girl!😘

He threw her that Amarendra sexy look.

S: Huh...uh...mmm...Pupsooo I forgot to grind the batter for idly I'll do that and come you sleep ok baby...hihihi...Goodnight...😰

She tried to escape but he was too quick.He lifted her in one arm then threw her on bed like a villain and pounced on her.Like a hungry wolf devouring its prey,the lion began feasting on his catch.

S: Pupsooo he hasn't even turned one and you are in a rush to make me pregnant again...we have to have some planning...😰

D: No!After seeing my son who is a replica of me I badly want to see my daughter also.I want to hold my kutty Sweetu in my arms!Let's make her!!😍

He pulled the quilt over their heads and they sailed in their hamsa navaa once again.♥️🙄

***

LR's partner in crime was none other than his Dunna nanna.

D pretended to be sleeping just so that his son would wake him up.As he expected,LR crawled on his chest and patted his cheeks to wake him up.

LR: Na...na...na...na...

D's lips curved to a smile.He looked at his son.

D: Good morning!😃

LR: Gooo....goo....

D: Come let's do work out!

He carried his son then placed him on his back.Securing him with one hand he began doing push-ups with the other.The up-down movement was fun for LR and he laughed.

D: 5,6,7...huff...puff...you're enjoying the ride?

He clapped his hands.S entered.

S: Bahubalis in beast mode?

D: Sweetu,you also come no...

S: I did yoga in the morning now I'm feeling lazy to do push-ups.

D: It's ok I will do for you.

S: How?

He passed baby to her and told her to recline on his back which she did.She held baby.

D: Ready?

S: Yes we are!

He did push-ups carrying S on his back while S played with her son as he enjoyed the jolly ride with his parents.His laughter sounds echoed in the room.

S: Hahaha...Baby,nice no?

D: Huff...puff...this is what they call family burden I suppose...🤕

S: 😆😆

***

One day little rebel was feeling restless as his father who would entertain and play with him wasn't around.He cried for D so S decided to take lunch for her husband and in that pretext bring him to his father.

D was in discussion with his director when S arrived carrying little rebel on her hips.To surprise him,she stealthily went and stood behind him.Using little rebel's fist she tapped his back.D ignored it the first time but when he felt the pat repeatedly he turned.Of course it was a sweet surprise to the Bahubali who did not expect them there.

D: Bheem!!🤩

Seeing his dad,the little rascal tried to push himself forward stretching his arms to go to him.D took him giving a break to S.

S: From the time he got up he is on tantrum mode see him grinning now.

She wiped the drool from his mouth with the napkin.

D: My son can't be without me right nanna?

LR smiled a toothless grin in response.D took him around the sets showing him to everyone.Like his parents,he too was a people's person and was friendly with all,from the director to the spot boy.Without any discrimination he went to everyone with a huge smile but he was extra happy when he was carried by D's heroine and refused to part from her.

D and S were in his caravan.She served him his lunch.

D: Sweetu,you ate?

S: Yes pupsoo.Pinni has come from Bhimvaram so we all had lunch together.

She looked around his caravan.

D: What bangaram you're seeing as if it's new.

S: I too had a similar one.I used to make-up,have food,sleep,cry and laugh all inside this.So many memories.How long it has been...

D: You want to make a comeback?

S: No thanks.I prefer being little rebel's mother.☺️

D: Fine.Don't tell me I never allowed you.Already your fans are furious and waiting with sticks to whack me for keeping you at home.🤕

S: 😄😄

D had finished his meal.Pramod came with little rebel to pass him to his parents since he was causing ruckus outside nibbling D's heroine's cheeks.D took him.

D: Her cheeks are nice no?Smooth and soft even I felt so but if I kissed her like you did she would have slippered me since you are a baby you could escape.Lucky you.

S: You will kiss her?🤨

D: Huh...uh...no puppy ma no kissing or lip locking with my heroines anymore.I've reformed.😔

S: Yeah I believe you😏😏

For that little rebel stuck his tongue out making a cute face and S took a photo of the notorious father and son duo.Pramod snapped a photo of the happy family.😌♥️
