Smriti's POV-

" Love, let's go. Everyone is waiting downstairs." Christian said as he walked towards me while I was trying to wear my sandals. 

" Allow me." He said, bending on a knee as I kept an arm on his shoulder.

I had been five years since we were married and each and everyday, he managed had managed to make me fall in love with him all over again. We have had our fair share of arguments about my work and his control freak habits sometimes but yet, at the end of the day, he would just come over, kiss my forehead or peck my lips to make it alright. 

" Where are you lost?" I heard him address me as I looked at him.

He was now seated beside me.

" Ahh." I felt a kick from within my abdomen which instantly sent Christian in panicking mode.

" What happened Smriti? Are you fine. Let me call the doctor." He said, immediately getting up while I grabbed his arm to stop him.

" Don't worry Christian, it's nothing. This little devil is kicking me." I told him keeping is hand on my stomach. 

I was just a week away from my due date.

" Mommy, daddy see I am ready. Grandma helped me!" Clarissa hoped into the room.

" Aww my baby looks so beautiful! Come here." I said as she walked to me.

I put a kaala teeka on the back of her ear to protect her from bad omens.

" You look so pretty momma!" She said, lightly hugging me, trying not to come very near to my belly. I just chuckled at her and pulled her closer.

" Okay, okay ladies. I am also here." Christian complained.

" Come on daddy!" Clarissa shrieked and he hugged the both of us.

I clearly remember that day when she was born three years ago. I was eight months pregnant and in labor. This little angel of mine had come in my arms one month early. Initially, she was very week but she made it. It was the first time I saw tears in Christian's eyes as he held her for the first time in his arm and muttered Clarissa.

That is how she was named.

" I am sorry to ruin this cute moment but all of you are being waited for downstairs guys." Mia said, popping her head in the room.

She got married last year to Rick Morris, Christian's CFO and was currently nine months pregnant and due anytime now.

" Aunt Mia!" Clarissa immediately ran to her and hugged her legs. I just chuckled.

" Aww, my baby. How much I want to just pick you up and twirl you right now!" She whiled.

" Let's get down." Christian was the first to walk towards the door and picked Clarissa up.

He loved her more than he loved anybody, even me and I love this about him.

" Guys, we may want to hold on to the thought of going downstairs right now. I water just broke." Mia announced, looking pale.

" Oh my god Mia! We need to go to the hospital right now!" I exclaimed.

" Guys, it's your party going on downstairs. Go and attend the guests, just send Rick up here and we will go to the hospital." She rambled.

" Nonsense Mia! We are leaving for the hospital. I'll go and see." He said while walking downstairs and I waited there with Mia, making her sit down for a while.

" Smriti, does it hurt very much?" She asked, looking paler, if possible.

" Don't think about the pain Mia, just think about the little prince that will be in your arms in the next few hours. Besides, everyone is here for you." I tried to assure her as I got some water for her

In the meantime, Rick and her parents and mumma and papa were here.

It was decided that I would stay at home with Clarissa, grandma and mumma while the others will go to the hospital and so it happened.

The party had been dismissed and we were sitting in mine and Christian's room. Clarissa had her head on mumma's lap. Grandma had went to bed early.

" Momma, when will he come out of your belly?" She asked, looking at me.

" Very soon baby." I replied to her, kissing her forehead as she hugged me.

Mumma kissed my forehead and then putting us to sleep, went out.

......

It must have been around midnight when my phone went off. I immediately woke up and took it. It was Christian.

" Christian, is the baby here? Are both of them safe?" I asked.

" Yes to both of your questions love. Mia is sleeping and the doctor's are running some tests on the baby. We will be home in a few hours. You get some sleep." He said and I nodded.

" I love you." He added before hanging up.

The next morning when I opened my eyes, I saw Christian sleeping next to Clarissa. She had slept with me last night.

Both of them looked so peaceful while asleep. I planted a kiss on both of their forehead and got up.

" Mrs. Grey, it is rude to steal a kiss from someone while asleep." Christian said, opening his eyes.

" Not when he is your husband and also, you were not asleep." I replied, clearly outsmarting him.

" So witty so in the morning." He remarked getting up and snaked his arms around me.

" I am so glad that I found you Mrs. Grey. Only you manage to keep me grounded in this insane world. You made me believe in love and capable enough to deserve you. You changed my perception towards togetherness. You are my strength and my weakness. You are my sunshine and my moonlight. It's only because of you that I found myself. Clarissa and you are the best things that have happened to me and I can not thank god any more than I do for this life, this chance to be with the people I am. I wouldn't change a hair on your head or on anyone's I have in my life. You made me realize the importance of having a family and then treating them right. I love you Mrs. Smriti Grey." He said, pecking my cheek and his words got tears in my eyes.

" I love you too Christian, I love you so much. I don't want to say anything to you but this. There can be no Smriti without Christian. Just remember this." I replied, hugging him.

" Mommy, daddy." I heard Clarissa calling for us.

" Yes baby?" I asked her.

" I saw a dream that I have a baby brother." She said, rubbing her eyes and I smiled and so did Christian.

We had decided to keep the gender of the baby a surprise both of the times in my pregnancy.

" Then maybe you will have one soon." Christian said as he held her in his arms and kissed her good morning.

After all the morning chores, we sat down together all of us and I held baby Adam for the first time. He was just perfectly healthy and very cute, taken after this mom and dad both.

" Have you guys thought of a name yet?" Grandma asked.

" Yeah, Hritik if it's a boy and Roshni if it's a girl." Christian told her.

" That is great. Indian names." She said, smiling and we nodded.

" Beta, do you feel fine?" Papa asked and I nodded, while going to sit next to him as he gently stroked my hair while his right arm was wrapped around my shoulders.

" Absolutely papa." I replied, resting my head on his shoulder.

Time just passed this was and it was night. After dinner, as I was walking towards the room, I felt something wet and I immediately knew what had happened, my water broke.

" Christian, Christian!" I called for him and he was next to me in a few seconds.

" What happened love?" He asked.

" My water broke." I replied.

" But your due date was not before next week!" He said, looking very worried.

" It's okay Christian, we need to go to the hospital." I said and in a jiffy, he had picked me up and was walking downstairs. By then, everyone knew what was happening and we left for the hospital. Clarissa was sleeping with Grandma.

In about an hour, ridiculous pains had begun. Christian was next to me the whole time.

" I swear Christian, this is the last baby we are going to have. Even taking bullets don't hurt this much. It's all your fault!" I screamed at him.

" Please calm down baby. Just push." He replied very calmly. Easy for him to say, he wasn't going through the pains.

After three hours, I had my beautiful baby boy in my arms.

" Hritik Grey." I whispered, cuddling him.

The nurse then took him to run a few tests on him. I eyes felt heavy when mumma and papa walked in.

" Smriti, sleep for sometime." Mumma said and papa kissed the top of my forehead and I drifted to sleep.

The next time I opened my eyes, my baby was sleeping next to the my bed in the cot while Christian was playing with Clarissa. When did she get here?

" Mommy, you're up." She said, coming over to me and was about to hug me when Christian stopped her.

" Princess, mommy is a little weak right now." He said and she nodded, understandingly but I couldn't resist.

" Nonsense. Come to momma." I said, grabbing her to me and took her in my arms.

" We will be free to leave in a while Smriti." Christian said as I breast fed my little baby boy.

He was so tiny and had chocolate brown eyes, just like his father.

" Let's go home." Christian said, pecking my lips and I smiled.

I had got everything I could have asked for. A loving husband, a beautiful family and two apples of my eyes, Clarissa and Hritik.

.........................

THREE YEARS LATER-

" Ms. Sharma, I am trusting your team and you with this mission in Yemen's capital, Sana because you all are the best I have. Remember, I need them killed, no casualities from our side. Am I clear?" Sanjay sir asked as we stood in his office in New Delhi.

" Crystal sir." I replied.

" Now go out and take your fake passports from Namit. You leave in six hours." He said and dismissed us all.

" Jai Hind." We all chorused.

" Lakshya, you go and check your technical stuff while I go and check the weapons out." Mansi said to her husband and he nodded.

" Chaitra, we need to go and check upon the paperwork." Sunaina ordered her husband and they went away leaving Rajat and me.

" Let's go and collect all the paper trail and passports." He said and I nodded.

..........

" Just don't die." Mumma said as I left home for the airport and I rolled my eyes.

" I won't." I replied, hugging her and dad and then left.

Reaching Sana, we dressed like tourists, mingled and then looked around at the warehouse where everything was being planned against India. It was a simple task, we just had to get their database to RAW and kill them.

We formulated the plan and gave enough time to Lakshya to get everything we needed and then shot the eight men. Of course after having one to one with them.

" Sir, mission accomplished." Rajat informed Sanjay sir and we were given immediate orders to fly back to Delhi. I was practically a sever hour mission and so we did. Reporting back to the headquarters, Sanjay didn't acknowledge our success as usual but we all knew he was a big softie inside. We were given official orders to resume our duties back in New York.

.................

" Momma!" Hritik jumped out from his Christian's hands to mine as I reached back home.

" My baby!" I picked him up, kissing him.

" You're back." Christian said and came over to me, pecking my lips.

" Mumma!" Clarissa came running out of her room as he hugged me.

" I missed you." She said.

" I missed you too baby." I said, stroking her hair.

" Not me?" Christian asked, raising an eyebrow.

" Nope." I replied, popping the P.

" We'll see that tonight." He whispered huskily in my ears, leaving me blushing.

The kids had gone to the living room, playing.

" Tsk Tsk Mrs. Grey. Eight years of marriage and still I somehow manage to get you all red with just a sentence." He smirked and I hugged him.

" I'm glad that you're back." He said.

" Don't worry Mr. Grey, I am not leaving anytime soon." I promised.

And this was a promise, I had no intention of breaking ever!

" I love you." He whispered in my ear.

" I love you more." I replied back, smiling which he returned.

My cell rang, it was Sanjay sir.

" Did you all reach properly?" He asked as I picked up.

" Yes sir. We did. You don't have to worry about us." I assured him.

" I don't worry about you all. I worry about my capable employees." He said.

" Sure sir, whatever floats your boat." I remarked sarcastically.

" Now, we have a video conference tomorrow. Be on time." He ordered.

" Yes sir. Jai Hind." I replied.

" Jai Hind." He said, hanging up.

This was what I was talking about. I could have it all, I deserved all. My job, my country and a loving and supportive family throughout. 

What else would a person like me dream of and want more?

I was happy, content and in love.

THE END.

Guys, I am too emotional to say anything right now. You do that talking. Comment if you liked the book. Love you all and thank you so much for supporting Ms. Sharma And Mr. Grey throughout!❤️❤️
