Ranbir and Alia just a week back gave us the BEST POSSIBLE NEWS in the history of news :D 27th June, 2022 was a HISTORIC ICONIC HAPPIEST DAY (closely behind 14th April, 2022!). 

It was a casual day and a day before I had major baby aloo craves for some reason. Around 11 in the noon is when she posted on instagram. Rest is history. Thankfully I did not went into a never ending shock tunnel like I did around her wedding, resulting in a late reaction on all of my social media sites lol! It just made me miss the real day and the fun it brought. 

Me on 27th was a good damn ride. Cried, felt overwhelmed, danced, clapped, spoke to many friends, celebrated on social media. I could not be more happier for my babies. They've always wanted babies for so long especially hamara jeeju ;) He's been manifesting them and now look at those blessings showered upon him in the right time. Couldn't have asked for a better ending to 2022 (december baby we hear). 

This chapter is not in continuation to their real wedding chapters I've been doing. I was and am in a writing slump. Got exams this whole month. Need to get back to work from August etc. So idk if I can continue those part. It can stay as it is coz it will still be an OS that way. I'll see if I can complete them. I've not moved ahead from wedding zone, it's just that I cannot put my head together to write on that day at least for now when we have even happier news in our plate. 

Thank you meanwhile for saving and reading this book. To all my new friends and readers, I love you. I hope this book brings about a beautiful smile on your face. This baby chapter will surely make us feel more grateful and happier. Inching closer to 40k and Ik we can do this <3

March 2022, Mumbai (Before they make decision to marry)

| Ranbir's POV |

Last month onwards Alia and I became extra busy. She with Gangubai promotions and shooting whereas I with my pending shoots and new projects. We barely saw each other for days. But when we did, we would make sure to make the most of our time. Just cozying in our bed, watching movies and discussing our daily lives and projects ahead. 

Today was such a day. We were comfortably lying on our bed. A new film on the block playing ahead of us on the screen. A warm blanket covering both of us. I glanced at Alia who looked a bit uneasy the whole morning. She looked pale and scary. If Anxious Alia was a scare then Sick Alia was a nightmare! I inched closer to her and covered her body with mine. 

"What's wrong love? You look so sick." 

"I don't know. Ajeeb si feeling aa rahi hai. Like I'm nauseating? And want to sit in the washroom for hours." She made a yucky face to explain. I made an attempt to comfort her. 

"You want me to call the doc?" She rested her head on my shoulder while I rubbed her back in circles. 

"No-" Throwing our blanket, she ran like a ghost towards our washroom. I stood up from bed to follow her. I could hear her throw up bad. It made me wince. Hard work comes with a price! Poor her had been running to and fro for the film alone. That must have taken a bad toll on her health. 

"Baby are you okay?" I craned my head to see. She walked out with an even paler face. "Argh I hateee this." I sought for a cup of water and gave it to her as she settled on the edge of the bed. 

In the middle of drinking, she held on to my hand in alarm. "Ranbir mujhe heart attack ho raha hai!!!" My eyes, heart, soul and everything popped out of my system at her words. "What!" I held her arm, panicking all the while. 

"My heart's going thud thud thud... like bullets from a gun. It's crazy. Stop it." She put her hand on her chest while I rubbed her back trying to figure what went wrong. I fished my phone from the drawer and before I could type a number, a familiar foreign call flashed on my phone. 

"Sarah!" 

Picking up the phone I realized it was a video call. Sarah hovered over from her side, smiling at us. "Thank God it's you. Sar, please help us. Alia's scaring me yaar. Keh rahi hai heart attack ho raha hai !" Sarah freaked at her side in her English accent. "Babe what's wrong." Alia showed her a thumbs up, telling her she's fine. 

"Arey I've been feeling too weird for some days. Just now I puked my brains. And now I'm feeling as if my heart will come out of my body." Sarah listened to her carefully like a doctor she was. We met her in New York at the hospital where Dad was under treatment. She's an Indian born American brought up girl, happily living with her husband. A family and sister to us. 

"Bir, can you check her pulse for me. Hold her wrist and put your thumb gently yet firm on her vein." I nodded even I didn't knew where it was all leading. I did like she said. Alia kept looking between us in puzzlement. "Aye hello, main theek hoon. Don't have to make this dumb a doctor now." I rolled my eyes and continued focusing on the work. I was too serious. 

Sarah laughed from her screen at my face. "Aww you look so concerned and cute." 

"Meri jaan nikal rahi hai jaldi bata kya karoon ab?" I had zero patience when it came to Alia and my mum. "Now tell me was her heartbeat too fast?" I nodded looking more scared than before. What if she needed to be hospitalized. The thought made me shudder. I had acclaimed a near phobia in relation to hospitals post my dad's treatment. That place was never meant for happiness. It was pure hell and torture. 

"Ye-yess. So?" She noted and looked around our room from her place. "I remember seeing a stethoscope lying there. Can you bring that?" I rushed to get it. My head a crazy mush. Jogging back I sat in front of her screen, this time my phone kept on a holder for us to comfortably talk. 

"Keep that on her chest and then on her stomach. Listen to her heart beat. And tell me if you feel any disturbance in the rhythm." I quickly began my doctor acting. Alia giggled as I put the end of it on her chest. "Listen you two need to stop doing this. Kahan na main theek hoon. Sarah stop making him a doc like you. It's hilarious!" They laughed like nothing had happened few minutes ago. Like my dearest girlfriend had not punched a hole in my chest. 

"Alia sit properly. Don't move." I placed the scope on her tummy. It was her cutest body part and I loved snuggling and petting it for some reason. She found that weird though. "Hey stoppp" it tickled her. "What do you hear?" 

"Two heartbeats? Is that even possible??" I freaked. What the fk was wrong with my Alia! 

Sarah had her eyebrows raised. "Alia tell me when did you had your periods last?" She thought for a second and replied, "Two months back I guess. Oh wait, maybe it's that." Sarah burst into a happy dance leaving both of us even more worried. "Behen kya ho gaya koi mujhe bhi toh batao! I'm loosing my shit over here." She squealed in her high octane voice and clapped. 

"Bir I think I need to visit you two, oh wait three soon." 

We made a 'what did she eat for lunch face'. 

"Aisa kya ho gaya mujhe ki tujhe aana pade?' Alia panicked a little. 

"I think, no I'm pretty sure and confirmed that it's a happy news. You guys are expecting. Baby Kapoor is on the wayyy. I'm going to be an aunt. Yohoooo." 

Air from my lungs escaped. Alia and I sat with a dumb expression. Shocked to the core. Sarah danced in the background, calling her sleepy husband to join the celebration. Meanwhile Alia and I continued to sit in our shock. "Wait... so your telling me she's, we're, BABY?!!!!" I was the first to come out of the daze. I needed answers. Immediately. 

Alia mumbled something under her breath that I couldn't hear but before I could clarify my doubts a pillow hit my face. Followed by another. Then another. My dogs came barking to my rescue. Thinking their mom was hurting their dad. 

"Ranbir Kapoor I will kill you." 

"It's not my fault alone. Wait-" We fought like silly toddlers for a minute, clearly giving too much coverage to the couple from New York, enjoying the whole thing over a cup of coffee. 

"Guys relax. You've still not confirmed Aloo." Sarah's voice melted in the air as I tried to calm my angry, partly overwhelmed tigress. We came up for air and stared at each other. 

"This can't be happening." 

I scrunched my nose innocently. "Why not....are you unhappy?" I was scared. As much as she was. This was an uncharted territory. In the past I have repeatedly talked about starting a family, having many cute babies. But to have one for real that too unplanned, in the middle of a hectic work life, seemed risky. 

"Okay, let me think. Sure this was unplanned. We have a lot on our plate at the moment. But Alia this had to happen some day right? We were about to have one as soon as we wed, remember? As soon as we confirm it's true, we can see and make changes if needed in our schedules. As far as I am concerned, you know I'm all up for a baby. Planned or unplanned. And I won't leave you alone. We made this baby, it's ours. So we share the responsibility. Your not alone. You've got me. Our whole family, friends, everyone. They're all so going to be thrilled. We badly needed this joy in our lives, Alia. This is a blessing from above. I know my dad made some talk with God. He wanted us to be happy. And this baby will bring that and so much more. I cannot wait to begin this new journey with you and only YOU. Our child couldn't have got a better mommy. I know it from my heart. And about people's talk, let's get married!" 

"WHAT!" The whole room boomed. 

"Yeah. Let's do it. What's there in the end of an year anyway. We were supposed to marry two years back! Let's do it right now. Just us, people closest and dearest, that's it. A simple private affair. Maybe in our home only... what's say? This place is perfect. We have a little break in April. We can manage our dates and take leave for some days. Depending upon your health you can join resume your shoot. We will let them know. The world will know only when we want them to know. When it's safe to disclose. This will remain with us till then." 

I saw Alia's eyes well with tears. She pounced on me, making me tumble backwards on the bed with her on top of me. Edward jumped up next to us, his fluffy tail tickling my nose. I laughed at the sudden breakdown we were going through. From baby to our wedding, the day couldn't get anymore amazing. I was living my biggest dream. Of having the people I cherish close to me. Holding the love of my life in my arms, who was carrying our child and in a matter of days would become my legally wedded wife for the world to see. She and I were married in our hearts. 

This child of ours became our reason of merry even before he or her landed into our waiting arms. I rubbed her tiny tummy with the back of my palm. 

My little one, you are so so loved. Mumma and Daddy have dreamt of you for so long. You are our tiny miracle. Our wonder ball. Our bundle of everything good from above. I know your grandpa sent you to us. He couldn't have waited longer. Thank you for coming to us. You will be treasured dearly. We cannot wait to hold you and cuddle with kisses. We love you more than our hearts can take in. Please be safe and don't torture Mumma much. She's still everybody's baby! Daddy can't wait to play soccer with you. To nuzzle and cuddle you. To play hide and seek with you. To teach you about the world, nature and everything around us. To travel the world with you. Experience everything from your eyes. We cannot wait little one. Our tiny cub, our sweet pea, our baby, come sooner.

NOTE :  DADDY KAPOOR'S POV. DID Y'ALL ENJOYED?

I HAD TO GET THIS OUT OF MY SYSTEM OR ELSE I WOULD HAVE GONE MAD. IT HAD TO BE A CHAPTER DEDICATED TO OUR LIL STAR, OUR JR KAPOOR.

BOY OR GIRL YOU ARE OUR PRIDE AND JOY ABHI SE. MY HEART BURSTS WITH IMMENSE GRATITUDE EVERYTIME I THINK OF YOU LITTLE ONE. YOU ARE A PIECE OF MY FAV HUMANS ON EARTH. THUS A PIECE OF MY HEART TOO. I CAN ALREADY FEEL HOW PURE YOUR ENERGY WOULD BE. EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU WILL BE ABOUT LOVE AND SUKOON. CAUSE YOU WERE MADE OUT OF NOTHING BUT UNCONDITIONAL LOVE. PLEASE KNOW THAT YOUR MAASI HERE LOVES YOU TOOOOO MUCH <3 *tears up* 

My heart cannot take in this much khushi only. My babies deserved this piece of happiness after what they've been through. They deserved 2022, the year of manifestations and it's fulfillment. The year of dreams and happiness. They deserve to have successful movies and impactful career choices. They deserve to enjoy every bit of love in their marriage and now on their path to parenthood cause they are PURE. 

27th was also a day of unseens like damn the pics we got! Totally insaneeee.

Acha this was a short and sweet sa chapter. I am no medical pro so naturally have made mistakes. Bacche ka heartbeat kaafi baad mein pata chalta hai but for the sake of my narrative I made it too fast lol. Doctors if you read this, don't kill me! Also the timeline is around March. We're still not sure when she conceived, before or after wedding. It actually became a bigger mystery than brahmastra theories LMAO. 

Jo bhi hai hamare dil ko sukoon milaaaa. We found so many reasons to stay alive this year and it's still mid 2022! I couldn not have asked for a better beginning into their new life. Cannot wait any longer for my lovebirds to reunite and spent quality time together !!! Bohot ho gayi lambi judaiii. Now meet, kiss, make out and cuddle. I don't need any pics. Just make them meet God. 

Also excited to see how Brahmastra promotions will pan out now with us thinking boyfriend girlfriend era milega lekin seedha pati patni ab maa baap! Sab kuch saath mein pakdo. No space to breath with Shamshera, Darlings and Brahmastra! Excited for the days ahead. 

Also a big thank you once again for all those who landed up on my chaukat post their wedding :p Your at the rightest place possible. Ily <3 

Jemi maasi :)
