"Hey my munchkin, when are you coming out? Dadda wants to hold you."

Swara stirred hearing soft mumblings.

"Then I will teach you how to play guitar."

"We will play together whatever you say."

"Your Dadda will be always with you."

"I will not leave you alone even for a moment."

"I promise."

Swara felt ticklish when Sanskar kissed her baby bump.

"Sanskar let me sleep."

"Munchkin your Mumma is such a sleepy head." He passed quick look to his grumpy wife.

"Owl"

'She never stops giving me nicknames' he rolled his eyes.

"Love you Frozen" He kissed her forehead bringing beautiful smile on her lips. He adjusted her comforter.

"Love you Olaf" He shook his head with small smile.

This had become their routine from the day Swara announced her pregnancy.

His Birthday.

Earlier, Sanskar used to curse this day all of his life, used to lock himself in his room but one news changed everything.

That day, in morning Swara prepared his favourite breakfast. Reva and Anurag wished him over video call.

Swara observed her husband, he did not withdraw himself but nodded with small smile. Her parents were enthralled with new member's arrival news.

Swara baked cake and they had small celebrations at home.

After long time, Sanskar celebrated his birthday forgetting his painful childhood.

Life was content for both of them over last 7 months except Swara's mood swings and hormonal changes impacting her cravings. She was giving really tough time to Sanskar.

Finally, when she was in her 5th month, Reva came to his rescue.

"Hey Frozen, I am going to office." Sanskar came after getting ready with his tie.

Swara started making knot for his tie.

"So from today onwards, you are on your mat leave?"

'I won't see her for next 8 hours.'

"8 hours means 8 hours... not a single minute more. Come home on time else I will barge in your office."

He nodded. 'Shit I will miss her hand made coffee.'

"Don't worry, I have packed your coffee in thermos."

'Thank god. I hate when Mike makes coffee' he rolled his eyes.

"I really feel pity for Mike" She pressed her lips.

"Can you please tell me how you always read my mind? That's not fair. I cannot keep anything secret from you."

"There should be no secrets between husband and wife, my dear Olaf."

"Hey don't call me Olaf. At least not in front of my baby."

"Olaf Dadda" Swara burst out laughing.

He shook his head.

"Love you. I will come in afternoon to pick you up." he kissed her cheeks.

In afternoon, they went to doctor as Swara had scheduled appointment.

Sanskar as usual became hyper inquisitive asking innumerable questions, embarrassing Swara and irritating doctor.

"Sanskar stop it." Finally Swara squeezed his hand passing tight smile.

Two more months passed with in a blink and on one bright morning Swara had her water break. She was immediately taken to hospital.

"Sanskar she will be fine." Reva held his shivering hand.

"Yes she will be fine."

Same moment doctors came out from Swara's room.

"How's she?"

"Mr. Maheshwari we need to do c-section for her. As you already know, she had less amniotic fluid through her pregnancy, and now on top of that her water broke. It will be difficult for baby to breath. We have to go for cesarian. You will need to sign consent form."

"Will she be fine?"

"Yes sure. It's normal for her case. Don't worry."

With in few minutes doctors took Swara to operation theatre.

"She will be fine Sanskar" Reva held his shoulder.

He was standing staring at the door waiting to see his Frozen.

"Come sit here" Reva compelled him.

"I am scared." He was continuously tapping his feet.

"She will be fine" Reva squeezed his hand.

"I am scared."

"If anything happens to her, I will be dead. I am scared."

"I am scared Ma." Tear dropped from his eyes.

'Ma' It was for the first time he had addressed Reva, which stirred every emotions of her motherly heart. She could see that small innocent boy who needed his mother's support to fight with his insecurities.

"Nothing will happen to her and your baby till the time your Ma is with you." She caressed his hairs.

He stared in her eyes. There was abundant motherly love for him.

"Ma" He just wrapped his arms around his mother feeling solace.

"Congratulations Mr. Maheshwari. It's baby boy." Doctors broke their moment.

"And Swara?"

"She is absolutely fine. Just little worn out."

Sanskar was caressing Swara's hairs, she was still unconscious.

"Here is your baby Mr. Maheshwari." Nurse came inside with their bundle of joy wrapped in baby blue blanket.

Sanskar was numb at his place looking at the life which he and Swara created with their love.

"Go hold your baby" Reva's push broke his trance.

He took a step. His baby was still sleeping.

"He ... he is ... he is too small." It was for the first time he was seeing just born baby.

"Ma, can you please hold him. I don't know how to hold him. I might hurt him."

"Come I will show you" Reva took a step.

She showed and helped too held his son. Tears started streaming over his cheeks looking at sleeping figure of his son.

Swara slowly opened her eyes to witness the most heartwarming moment of her life. Her husband was holding their baby.

"Sanskar" her faint voice earned his attention.

He carefully took steps towards her holding their son.

"Our baby, our son" he passed newly born to his mother.

"Thank you so much" he kissed her forehead.

"Ohh Kanhaji, he is so cute"

Reva captured their moment in camera.

Anurag, Julia, Ayesha came to meet Swara.

It was family moment when Reva whispered in her daughter's ears, "even I became his Ma today."

Swara stared at her with confusion but her trance broke as her son started crying.

"Ma he crying what should I do? Should I call doctor?" It was Sanskar. He became hyper possessive.

"Ma" Swara mumbled flapping her gaze between her mother and her husband.

"No beta, he must be hungry. Give him to Swara."

Three days later Swara was discharged. She and Sanskar with the help of Reva, Anurag and Julia were trying to understand new responsibilities towards new born.

Sanskar came back from office he took long shower and came downstairs to see his father in law holding their baby. He was trying to make him sleep.

"Give him to me Papa" It was their routine, once Sanskar was back from office his every moment was occupied with his son.

He took his son in his embrace and started taking a stroll humming softly.

"Anurag your tea" Reva passed cup.

"He started calling me Papa"

"Haan, but he called me first as Ma. That too 2 months early."

Swara smiled looking at her parents but her eyes were continuously moving towards her husband and her son... Soham.

***** 8 Years Later ********

"May I come in Sir" It was 10:30 Swara knocked on his cabin's door.

"Yes please, Mrs. Maheshwari"

"Sir, I have..." Swara went on with updates.

'I am in trouble. She calls me Sir only when she knew I have screwed up something. Jesus save me from her wrath'

"If you really know me well then why did you cancel that meeting?" She raised her eyebrows.

"Which meeting?" He looked everywhere but not at her.

"Sanskar you very well know what I am talking about?" She raised her eyebrows.

"Hey you have my mind reading app not me."

"Why did you cancel Rickson's meeting? You know it was important to us. It's huge project and..."

"But Soham's soccer final is also at the same time and I cannot miss it." He cut her shrugging his shoulders.

"Sanskar it's just a soccer match."

"Whatever. It is for our son and I want to be with him no matter what. So that's final." He and his dominating nature.

"But"

"And by the way I have not cancelled that meeting but I have asked Mike to reschedule it."

"This father and son" she palmed her forehead.

"Come on Frozen you had only said long back that 'Let's enjoy our childhood together'. Remember?" He got up and came to her side.

"But Sanskar?"

"Swara, I want to be with him in his every moment. I know how it feels when your parents are not there for you on your special days. I don't want my son to feel the same. I can do anything for him."

"Ya you can do anything for him. And you don't even remember me." She scrunched her nose.

"Ohh my Frozen, how can I forget you. You are my home. My Peace."

"Buttering haan?"

"Come on you know, you have wrapped this Sanskar Maheshwari around your littler finger long back."

"Love you" She pecked his lips.

"Mrs. Maheshwari are you forgetting we are in office. I am your boss. So please behave." He teased.

"Behave? Office?" she thought.

"You are going to sleep with Soham in his room now onwards." She declared moving towards door.

"No... Nooo. Frozen, you know I cannot sleep without holding you." He held her wrapping his arms around her waist.

"Now are you forgetting we are in office SIR?"

"I was just teasing you Frozen. You know, I love you" he pecked her lips and got busy convincing his wife to allow him to sleep in their bedroom.

As decided Sanskar and Swara went to cheer up his son for his finals. Sanskar shouted on top of his voice when his son scored a goal.

"Dadda" Soham ran to him after his match.

"We won Dadda. I scored the goal at the last minute."

"I saw it. My munchkin you were the best."

"And you know what Dadda..." their both father and son went on forgetting their surroundings.

"Are you guys forgetting that I am also here?"

"Ohh Mumma" Soham gave kiss on her cheeks.

"Hey Frozen" he wrapped his arm around her shoulder

Swara stared at her husband and her son.

'Let's enjoy our childhood together' words she had written on the envelop while declaring her pregnancy to Sanskar really held lot of meaning.

They were blessed with happy life.
