"Wali I have kept your shirt and pants on the couch and please put the towel back in the washroom!"I called out to him after knocking the door to the washroom and before I could turn they slid a bit revealing his face and a bit of his shoulder while his body hidden behind the translucent door and I didn't even dared to look down, their was a smirk on his face and before I could say a thing he shook his head spraying shampoo froth around, "Ya Allah! You are worst than a kid! Look we are really getting late--"

"Do you actually think that you would not be repeating yourself again in less than twenty minutes?" He grinned wider than before.

"Wali Zulfiqar Ahmed not today! I am serious, okay?" I glared at him knowing all too well that the action won't work on him, even a bit, since the time we woke he had been mischievous making us late enough that I am getting calls from Rafia after every few minutes. "I am serious," I pleaded making him frown in return, from past one week I have been busy with Rafia as her due date is aproaching and I am the only family she has here so I am spending days with her so that her husband could end his office work before taking paternal leave.

"I don't like your cousin and I can actually vanish mine from the face of earth!" he threatened.

"Just few more days, she is worried because khala and khalu can't be here, they haven't got the visa. I am the only family she has!" I pouted in reply trying to make my stubborn and impatient husband understand.

"They should owe their child to us!"

"Hurry up!" I pushed him back cutting our washroom conversation in half and running back downstairs to get everything ready.

I sighed when I put last of the parathas on the plate and poured juice for both of us after calling Wali for the numerous time, if it weren't for him we would have been out of the apartment by now, I bit my lip thinking about our short but intimate moment which we shared this morning, shaking my head I quickly drank a glass of water to calm my erratic heart beat, thank God he wasn't here yet or he must have teased me endlessly about it.

I turned to look at the stairs when I heard him coming downstairs, smiling at him I stood up unconsciously and moved towards him, it fills my heart with pure joy and pride when I see him walking around, last few months have been quite hard on us and I clearly remember the day he started walking around just with the help of a cane, ecstatic wouldn't even begin to define our happiness; our eyes were filled with the tears of gratitude while I was continuously muttering duas, it was the joy of getting something you have asked for a long time and we certainly did, every sajood I asked for his health and looking at him I felt content and then it wasn't long when he was back again on his feet.

"I know that I look insanely handsome but your smile is doing no good but boosting my ego!" He smirked while whispering huskily in my ears successfully earning a gasp from me, leaving me with wide eyes and heated cheeks. "Let's have breakfast, shall we?" his smirked didn't disappeared when he moved forwards and dragged my chair for me, taking slow step towards it I sat without moving my eyes away from his playful smile.

After few seconds when he was busy eating as nothing have happened while my appetite was long gone and I was getting anxious due to sudden change in his behavior today I decided to ask, or more like state, "You are not yourself today!"

"You are blaming me?" he asked nonchalantly.

"No... I mean... What's going on?"

"Are you doubting my intentions, Mrs. Ahmed?" he mocked an hurt expression and to play his own game I shrugged. "well, well, well..."

"Let's see..." he started, "We had our six month anniversary last month but we didn't celebrate it because of the baby shower, was it?"

"But we did had a date dinner!" I reminded.

Shrugging he continued, "From last one month I don't have my wife to myself! It's either baby shopping or you guys spend day together, even sundays aren't mine!" he complained and I smirked in reply.

"So you are finally admitting that you need your wife!"

"Is it about last week dinner?!" He exclaimed and I rolled my eyes, "Ya Allah! We guys were just teasing you all and what about that gushing over that book character and comparing us to him?"

"William Herondale will always be better!" I replied drinking my juice and gathering the plate.

The rest of the banter was continued all through our drive till we get to Yahya and Rafia's apartment where Wali decided to surrender saying that if William would have been real he would have killed him mercilessly and when he got a glare from me he finally decided to quit and end the topic but not before getting a kiss from me when we were the only ones on the lift.

Reaching to the main door of their apartment Wali knocked the door while I told him about today's plan and we went through our plan which Yahya and Wali told us in case the baby decided to come when both of the men aren't around. As soon as the door opened we met with a very cheerful Yahya and after saying our salams when we entered in their apartment Wali asked about his mood and smiling widely like a kid he told us that the nursery was finally done and though to others the news wouldn't be much of a big deal but for the few of us who were trying to set it up from past month in a manner that Rafia finally agrees to it, knows how much of a trouble it was.

"About time!" Wali chuckled and Yahya led us upstairs to the nursery. Opening the brown wooden door he revealed a cute dark blue themed nursery, the front wall was of dark blue color with numerous yellow and white circles painted on it, while the rest of the walls were white, the crib was place in front of the blue wall and beside the crib was white colored arm chair, the adjacent wall of the crib had frames and below the frames was wooden drawer with a lamp and a wooden box on top of it, the wooden floor was covered with large rug of light blue and brown colored patterns drawn on it, the large windows were hidden behind plain blue curtains, it was simple yet beautiful. It was something which my too much of a practical cousin agreed too.

"So?" Yahya looked at the two of us with raised eyebrows.

"It's perfect!" I smiled at him and then looked at Rafia who was standing by the door her left hand resting on the door frame while the right supporting her back, her swollen body was covered with a large dupatta, hiding the swell of her stomach, she had a vibrant smile on her face. Walking towards her I took her in to a hug, "congratulations!" I whispered and heard her sniff, chuckling I wiped her tears and placed a kiss on her forehead.

"Thank you for everything!" she smiled with teary eyes, "You really helped me get through the worry of not having mama with me right now! I can't wait to have him now." she chucked with a blush and I laughed.

"Now you boys go! Leave the two of us alone!" I turned to Wali and Yahya who were looking at us with a smile on their face.

The day went by smoothly with the two of us watching Ice Age doing a lot of gossip and eating on everything in Rafia's kitchen, after zuhr prayer I helped Rafia adjust back in her bedroom and then went to check the hospital bag to confirm we have all the things ready, she was feeling a bit more tired than usual and apparently the baby was quite active today, so after checking everything I walked down the kitchen to prepare some sandwiches for both of us, completing the task I went to call Wali reminding him that they have to get the airport to receive Tasneem phupo and Abeer, by the time I was done talking to him and making him end the call it was almost time for asr, picking the plates of our sandwiches from the kitchen counter I got upstairs to Rafia's room, opening the room I found her standing near the edge of her bed, one hand tightly clutching the foot-board of the bed, while her eyes were tightly shut.

Placing the plate on the coffee table I rushed toward her, giving her the support I made her sit and wiped the sweat covering her forehead.

"What were you doing?! What happened?" I asked worriedly, ready to scold her for her extra movements when doctor have prescribed her complete bed rest.

"Its...i-its," she gasped for air and then looking at me with bloodshot eyes and a faint smile she said in a mere whisper, "It's time..."
