The next morning, Anika was supposed to get discharged. The nurse checked her vital signs then removed the IV. She winced in pain while Shivaay held her other hand. The doctor comes with discharge papers.

Doctor: Mrs Oberoi, yeh rahe aapke discharge papers. Aapko apna bahot khayal rakhna hain. Kisi bhi tarah ka stress aapke liye theek nahi hain aur aapko next week phir routine check-up ke liye aana hain. 

Anika: Yes doctor.

The doctor leaves.

Anika: Chalein Shivaay?

Shivaay: Ya, why not?

Anika tries to get up but Shivaay sweeps her off her feet and scoops her in his arms.

Anika: *shyly* Shivaay, kya kar rahe aap?

Shivaay: Hey, tum blush karte hue aur bhi zyaada cute lagti ho.

She blushes harder at this. He carries her till the parking lot.

Anika: Likin aapne mujhe god main kyoon utha rakha hain?

Shivaay: See, hospital staff tumhe wheelchair par le jaayenge aur uspe baithne se...ajeeb si feeling aati hain. 

Anika: Likin main koi maharani nahi hoon.

Shivaay: Kisne kaha? You're the queen...of my heart.

Anika: Kya baat hain! Bade romantic ho rahe aap.

Shivaay: Apni wife ke saath romance nahi karoonga toh kiske saath karoonga?

Anika: Nahi, matlab yeh saari harkatein toh aap us Tia ke saath karte they.

Shivaay: *sternly* Ab agar dobara tumne Tia ka naam liya toh main tumhe neeche utaar doonga.

Anika: Bas neeche utaarenge? Mujhe toh lag raha tha aap mujhe phaink denge.

Shivaay: Haw! Never. Agar mere baby lag gayi toh?

Anika: *holding her belly and frowning* Dekha beta, aapke papa ko abhi bhi sirf aapki chinta hain.

Shivaay: Waise toh Shivaay Singh Oberoi ko baat repeat karne ki aadat nahi hain likin ek baar kar deta hoon, main apne baby aur uski mumma se bahot pyaar karta hoon.

Anika hugs him. The chauffeur comes with his car. Shivaay makes Anika sit on the passenger's seat and he takes the driver's seat. The ride back home was a quite one. As they reach, Shivaay helps her walk in but they are stopped at the main door by Pinky.

Pinky: Ruk. Anika, yeh bata tu aaram se chal sakti hain na?

Anika: Haan, likin kyoon aun...

Pinky: *glares at her* Hmm..

Anika: *correcting herself* Mummyjee.

Pinky signals the servants and they come with an Aarti ki thaal, rice kalash and alta.

Shivaay: Mom, yeh sab kya hain.

Pinky: Waise toh Anika ka grih pravesh ho chuka hain likin tab woh Tia Kapoor bani hiu thi. Is baar main chahti meri bahu Anika Shivaay Singh Oberoi banke aa.

Pinky does their tilak and aarti. Anika, while holding Shivaay's hand, kicks the kalash of rice and puts her feet in the alta and walks in the house. Everyone claps while Pinky kisses her forehead. OmRu bring a cake which had "Welcome Home Bhabhi" written on it. Anika covered her mouth as she felt a wave of nausea hit her.

Anika: Kitna cake khilaoge? Main moti ho jaaoongi.

Rudra: Koi baat nahi. Waise kuch mahino main toh ho jaaoge.

Anika's hormones started their role.

Anika: *cries* Tumhe lagta main moti ho jaaoongi? 

Rudra: *worried* Nahi bhabhi, aap galat samaj rahi hain.

Saumya smacked his head.

Saumya: Duffer, yeh kya kiya? Rula diya na bhabhi ko.

Shivaay: Nahi, Rudra ki galti nahi. *to himself but loud enough to be heard* Thodi bahot toh meri hain.

Anika: *wiping her tears* Thodi nahi, puri galti aapki hain. Aapne us raat pee hi kyoon?

Shivaay: This not fair. You were also drunk.

Pinky: OH MY MATA! Yeh kya chal raha hain tum dono bataoge.

Shivaay looks Anika then bites his lip.

Shivaay: *to Anika* Ummm, bata doon?

Anika nod in approval. Shivaay opens his mouth to speak but...

Anika: Ek minute.

She hugs Shivaay, hiding her face in his chest. All except OmRu were confused.

Shivaay: Ummm, guys we...

All: we.....?

Shivaay: Are....

All: Are...?

Shivaay: We're going to have a baby!

Anika hugged Shivaay so tightly that he felt his bone being crushed. It took a few seconds for everyone to register Shivaay's words then the air was filled with excited cries of to-be grandparents and aunts (as the to-be uncles already knew). Everyone hugged ShivIka.

Pinky: Oh my mata! Kab pata chala?

Shakti: Haan, aur tum dono ke beech toh kuch tha bhi nahi toh...

Shivaay: Shaant-shaant-shaant. Sab batata hoon likin baith jaayiye. Anika, tum bhi zyada der tak khadi nahi reh sakti.

They reluctantly sit down and Shivaay narrates them the whole incident.Tej passed and angry glare to OmRu. Pinky got up and went to her room.

Shivaay: Mom...

He tried to follow her but she came out with a velvet-covered box. She walked up to Anika and sat beside her.

Anika: Au...Mummyjee, yeh kya hain?

Pinky: Tera haq hain, Anika.

She opened it to reveal the Oberoi family's ancestral necklace.

Pinky: Jab main is ghar ki bahu banke aayi thi, tab mummyjee  ne mujhe yeh diya tha.

She makes her wear it.

Pinky: Ab main isse tumhe deti hoon taki tum apni bahu ya beti ko isse do.

A tear escaped Anika's eye as she touched it. She stood up and hugged Pinky.

Anika: Thank you. Thank you so much, mummyjee.

Pinky: Oye, itni si baat ke liye thanks kyoon bol rahi hain?

Anika: *misty eyed* Sirf is haar ke liye nahi, mujhe ek maa ka pyaar dene ke liye.

Pinky: Tera haq hain mere pyaar par. Ab rona band kar. *pouts* Main nahi chahti mera aane wala grandchilds apne baap ki tarah sadu ho.

Anika giggles while Shivaay looks disbelievingly at Pinky.

Shivaay: Mom. This not fair.

Shakti: Bete, ab toh iski aadat daal hi lijiye.

Shivaay: *sighs* As if I have another option. 

They share an Oberoi family moment and celebrate the night away.

A few months later 

Shivaay scanning through the contents of his cupboard. Anika comes from behind and taps his shoulder.

Shivaay: Mera laptop....

Anika: Wahan bed ke bagal main so raha hain. *sarcastically* Bechara, kitna kaam karate hain aap usse.

Shivaay: Ab main apni wife ko chhod ke toh office jaa nahi sakta likin kaam bhi nahi chhod sakta.

Anika: Haan-haan. Ab, apna kaam kijiye.

Shivaay sat on the bed and started his work. Anika took a pair of small socks and held them close to her.

Anika: *caressing her baby bump* Bas, kuch din aur.

As her due date was just around the corner, Shivaay was working from home as he did not want to take the risk of not being available during her delivery. She went and sat beside Shivaay. He wrapped one arm around her shoulder and continued to work with the other. Anika felt a little uneasy and stirred a bit. Before she knew, she had a contraction.

Anika: Ah...

Shivaay: Anika.

Another contraction and she clutched her stomach.

Anika: SHIVAAY....AAHH...

Shivaay clasped her hand. 

Shivaay: MOM! DADI!

Everyone gathered in their room.

Pinky: *excitedly* Oh my mata. Finally yeh days aa hi gaya! Shivaay, jaldi kar. Anika ko hospitals le jaana hain.

As Anika couldn't walk on her own, Shivaay carried her despite her now heavy weight while Saumya and Jahnvi took care of the bags. Within​ minutes, they reached the hospital and Anika was taken inside the delivery room. Shivaay was racing to one part of the room to the other while everyone watched him. After several hours of screaming, the the cries of a baby. Everyone's lips curved upwards.

Nurse: Mr Oberoi?

Shivaay: Ya, that's me.

Nurse: Congratulations. Beta hua hain.

Rudra jumped on Shivaay and hugged tightly while Om pulled him down. The nurse came back with Shivaay's son and handed him over. Shivaay was very careful with him and cradled him in his arms.

Shivaay: Hi baby.

He kissed his forehead and touched her nose to his.

Doctor: Congratulations Mr Oberoi. Hume bacche ke kuch tests karne hain. Tab tak aap apni wife se mil sakte hain.

Shivaay: Yes doctor.

He handed him back to the nurse and went in Anika's room. She was sleeping so he sat beside her and caressed her hair. She woke up in some time.

Shivaay: Congratulations Mrs Oberoi.

Anika: Same to you, Mr Oberoi.

They hugged each other. The nurse came in with their son and handed him to her. Tears of joy formed in Anika's eyes as she held him close to her and kissed him all over the face. The rest of​the family came.

Rudra: *fake crying* Yeh kitna cute hain.

Om: Bas kar dramebaaz. Shivaay, koi naam socha?

Shivaay anf Anika look at each other and say...

ShivIka: Ansh.

Dadi held Ansh.

Dadi: *proudly* Hm, Ansh Singh Oberoi.

Rudra: This calls for Oberoi moment. Ab toh humare paas ek aur member hain.

Dadi handed him back to Anika. She held his tiny hands and made him do the signature step as well.

All: Dil bole....Oberoi.

The End
