A cold breeze hits her face as she stood in a balcony resting a hand on her stomach. She closed her eyes as recalls the best with love her life. A tear escaped down her eyes as she recalls those moments with him.

Opening her eyes, she wipes the tears off and turning her head around smiles looking at swetha who walks inside holding a glass of juice and different types of fruits chopped in a bowl.

Passing a soft smile to swetha gesture her to come. Swetha stepping in a balcony placed the fruit bowl on the coffee table and walks towards Avni handed the glass of juice to her.

Avni made her face seeing the juice and looks at swetha who glares her.

Avni : mom.. I can't have this.

Swetha : I won't listen to you. Come on drink it now.
You also need to finish whole bowl of fruits.

Avni freaks out glancing the fruit bowl and looks at swetha who stood there watching her to finish the juice.

She took a deep breath and pinching bridge of her nose she gulps it down. Finishing it up she looks at swetha who gave impressing look.

She placed the glass on the table.

Swetha : now take a seat and finish the fruits.

Avni : mom. My stomach is full. I can't have it more.
I just had my breakfast an hour ago.

Swetha : an hour ago, it's been long. You need to be health and eat well for yourself and the baby.

Avni felt like crying on her fate. No lies she loves her family to core but since the day they found out about her pregnancy they have been feeding more than needed. She eats three people meals every single day.

Her stomach has definitely got bigger as she in her 5 months of her pregnancy. Her family have looked after so well. They have never left a chance to pamper. She felt blessed having such beautiful and loving family. They let her miss Neil.

They took care of care so well. She hardly remembers how months of her pregnancy passed. Truly she was blessed having them.

Her whole pregnancy was bliss but was incomplete without him being beside her in every steps. Her heart shatters knowing he wasn't there to witness to bliss the moments of their lives. He missed so much in these months.

Her thoughts were broken by swetha who gently grabs her arm and made her sit and sat herself down beside her.

Swetha : you can at least some. I won't force you to finish it all.

Nodding her head softly she ate some fruits while talking to swetha.

Swetha : do you want to go for a walk?

Avni : for a walk? Why all of sudden? I mean you guys wouldn't let me go out then? How you agreed today?

Swetha : it's very pretty weather outside. We should go out.

Avni : i wouldn't mind though. Can I go and quickly change.

Swetha : yes you can! I will wait for you downstairs.

Avni nodded her head and went to change while swetha grabs the bowl and glass walking out of the room.

Coming out of the washroom and grabbing her phone she walks out of the room and found Bebe and swetha sitting in living hall and chatting.

Bebe : are you both going out?

Swetha : yes Bebe! To park. We will be back soon.

Avni : Bebe do you join us?

Bebe : no! I would rest at home. You both go and enjoy.

They bidding bye to Bebe left for the walk.

They walked through the park while talking when they spotted few familiar faces. They got engaged talking to them.

All of sudden, she felt urges to go back home and hide herself. She looks at swetha and calls her out.

Swetha : what happened? You okay?

Avni : mom.. can we please go back home? I don't feel well.

Swetha nodded her head and excusing themselves, they walked back to the mansion.

Avni rushed to her room avoiding swetha voice. She paused the door and got shocked seeing the room decorated. Her eyes widen and shock cleared writer over face.

She covers her mouth as she gasped looking at the room. She wondered what could be occasion and who would have done this. All she could think about him then thought how can he..

Her eyes travels across the room to the balcony when she saw a figure standing against the rails. Her foot froze up as she able to a step.

Her heart starts pounding faster as she wondered what if this is reality. What if she isn't dreaming about him being here standing in the balcony.

Taking a small steps, she approached towards him.
Standing behind him, she placed her hand on his shoulder after taking a deep breath.

Her breath hitched up as he turns around looking into her eyes. Her eyes welled with tears. Her mouth widens as she stares at him in a shock. She was amazed to see him standing front of him.

Her hand raised up to touch his face hoping she wasn't seeing a dream. She touched his face and tears flowed down her cheeks. She didn't bother to wipe it off.

Avni: are you here for real! You're actually standing front of me. Tell this is not a dream. Tell me this for real.

Her voice filled with pain and joy of seeing him. Her eyes didn't looked away, she fixed her gaze staring him so deeply.

As those escaped from his mouth. She craved to hear his soft and husky voice. Her heart wouldn't stop beating faster.

His hands raised up cupping her face in his hold. His thumb rubs cross her eyes wiping her tears off. His lips moves closer placing a kiss on her forehead.

A tear drops down as she felt his lips resting on her skin. Her body woken up the dream. She felt alive feeling so close to him. A touch she craved, finally it happened. Now she say it was definitely not a dream.

He was actually standing front of her. Her eyes closed up as she felt him kissing her forehead again. Her heart pounded as he caressed her cheek lovingly.

He took a step back and looks at her. His eyes fell on her stomach. His eyes widen as this wasn't something he expected to see or hear after coming back home. This was definitely unexpected for him.

His mouth wider opens as he looks at her with his eyes popping out. He couldn't believe. He was in shock seeing her in this condition..

His hand fell on her stomach and rested gently. His eyes met hers who was watching his action with filled tears in her eyes.

Neil : is this real... is this really happening? Love...

Avni bobbed her head making him drop to his knees. His eyes gazing hers then it dropped on her stomach. He held the stomach careful then he dropped a kiss on her stomach.

This moment was what she was waving to witness. Her dream did come true. It took some time but eventually it did happen. She couldn't be any happier than this.

His eyes didn't leave her stomach as he gazed it so lovingly. He caressed her stomach gently.

He kissed her stomach one more time then stand up gently pulling her close to him.

Neil : I didn't knew I would getting surprise return love. This is so unexpected and most exciting. We will be parents. Oh my god. I missed so much things. Love.. thank you so much for making me a parent. I love you so much. You don't know how much happy i am being right now. I still can't believe it I would become a father in some months.

His eyes shines up as he talks to her. Their eyes had held the pain and happiness together. They were ready for this journey to become a parent.

She watched him expressing how he felt. Feeling her turmoil he wraps his arms around her shoulder and pulls her in a soft hug.

He pecks her forehead and tightens the hug feeling the warmth he missed for very long time. He missed her so much. He was glad to be back being in her arms.

Neil broke the hug and cupping her face kissed forehead.

Neil : when did you find out? How month is it? How come anyone told me? Even dad didn't say anything when he picked me up.

Her widnes as she heard him.

Avni : was this pre- planned. I mean, now I understand why I was allowed to go park. But what the occasion today? Why is the room decorated? Did I say your or mine birthday? It's not even a year to our wedding.

Neil : love how can forget such a thing? We met on this day. Remember when we met for the first time.

A realisation hits her. She slaps her head and looks at him.

Avni : oh my god. How could I not remember? How did you get your leave?

Neil : I was planing to visit home before going to a mission next week. I got leave so called dad up and told him to pick me up. I thought to surprise you and I didn't thought I would get surprise finding you being pregnant.

He chuckles at the end making her giggle too.

Avni : I love the surprise Neil. Thank you for returning back home. I really wanted to tell you but couldn't because you were always on mission.

Neil : I'm sorry love. Now I'm here. I won't let you be alone.

She smiles knowing how much he trying to make her feel better. She rested her head on his shoulder as he caressed her hair softly. He drops numerous of kisses on hair.

Neil helped her getting down the stairs careful and made her sit on the couch as he smiles looking at his family who faked being shock seeing him.

He chuckles and sat beside Avni after hugging them. He stuffed a pillow behind her back making it more comfortable for her.

His family smiles seeing his love and care towards Avni. They chatted while laughing. It was heartily moment with the family after very long time.

Neil fastening the seatbelt looks at his wife who struggling with seatbelt. He chuckles and getting closer he puts the seatbelt on. He then focused his gaze on the road as he drove the car.

His glances in between as he felt her hand resting on his. He then rolls the window down allowing the air hit their faces.

Neil stops the car and coming out of the car rushed to her side opening the door for her. He forward his hand and smiles looking at her.

Placing her hand in his she comes out and looks at the beach. She took her shoes off and starts walking with him being beside her.

They walked on a beach holding hands. Breeze touching their skins. Her hair flew in the air due to wind.

They sat down looking at the sea with soft smile playing on the lips. He embraced her in a hug as he rested his chin on her shoulder and his secured around her stomach gently.

Neil: love, do mind if I ask you a question?

She tilts her head and looks at him to continue.

Neil : what would you like to have? I mean baby girl or boy?

Avni : I really don't know.. I haven't thought about. Honestly I wouldn't mind either is girl or boy. I want baby to be healthy. What about you?

Neil : I wish two have both of them. I want a daughter so I can pamper her and she will be my princess and I also want a son who will be my soldier. I really want that to happen. I want a small with you including our babies.

She leans back on his chest resting her head on his chest and held his hand that rested on her stomach. They watched the wave.

Avni : I can't wait for your dream to into a reality.

Neil smiles pecking her back of her head.

Neil : I love you. Love!

Avni: I love you too.

They sat in each other embrace hoping to stay forever.

Avni : Neil.. can we get ice cream?

He looks at her and nodded his head getting up. He moves to person who was selling a ice cream on the beach. He brought too flavour and went back to her.

He handed her the ice cream sitting behind her and pulling her in a hug.

Avni : I love you Neil. Thank you.

Neil smiles pecking her head and whispers 'i love you too'.
