Author's Pov

"Tell me what's wrong." He asked calmly, rubbing her back, but all she was doing was sobbing. "If you don't tell me, then how could I know?" He asked.

"Dii, please tell us what the doctor said." Noor pleaded.

"Is the baby okay or not? Are you worried about our child? Don't worry; if there is anything like that, then we will face it together." He said it with difficulty, as even though he doesn't have the courage to think anything bad about his unborn child, nothing is more important to him than her.

"Tigress, you are killing me. Please say something." He pleaded, but she was only crying in his embrace. "Please say something. Bad or good, we will face it together." He pleaded.

''Hann, I am scared." She finally sobbed.

"About what love?" He asked as calmly as he could. His own patience is leaving him after looking at her like this.

But he is trying to hold himself for her sake.

"How will I handle them alone?" She whispered in between her sobs and Noor's eyes wide open, and she gasped in surprise.

"Whom are you talking about?'' He asked as he still didn't get her. "Whoever this is, we will handle them together. Don't stress yourself. But at least share with m…."

"Hann Doo ne!! How am I supposed to take care of them together?" She said it irritatingly while crying.

On the other hand, in worry, Henry's brain didn't register a word.

"Who Doo?" He asked, confused.

"YOU IDIOT, YOU BOTH ARE GOING TO HAVE TWINS!!!!" Noor squealed in happiness and hugged them both in their sitting positions.

"Huh?" Henry is shocked as well, but Samriddhi keeps crying.

"Oh, my God!!! Double celebrations." Noor exclaimed happily.

Henry breaks their hug and wipes her tears, then asks with so many emotions ready to flow from his eyes. "Are we having twins?"

She nodded meekly, and he chuckled with moist eyes. "Then why are you crying?'' he asked, palming her face.

"Twins!!!!!" Both Dorian and Mrs. Jones exclaim happily.

"Hann, how will I take care for them at the same time?" She was hiccuping. "I-am-scared."

"Why? I am right here with you." He assured her while giving her a glass of water that Mrs. Jones was holding for her.

"They will not come out of you. They will come out of me. Of course I am scared." She said it frustratingly, and everyone laughed, but Henry shut his mouth. Not knowing what to say. "There are so many things and..."

"I am here, Tigress. I will always be." He cut her off while holding her hands. "Don't worry and be happy. Look at the bright side. We were waiting for one, and God gave us one more. God has blessed us with double happiness. Be happy and don't cry. We're going to have two babies at the same time."

Hearing his words, she started crying even more. "I am such a bad mother!! Hannnn!!!!!" She cried.

"Noo." Everyone tried to make her understand, but today she is on another tangent.

"We are blessed with two kids, and instead of being happy and cherishing this moment, I started crying. Hannnn!!!'' She cried even more. "I am such a bad mother. What will our babies think of me? What will you think of me?"

Henry is not understanding whether to cry or laugh at his cute Tigress.

So he just hid her in his arms and said, "No one is going to think anything. Your fear is natural, and our kids are lucky to have an incredible mother like you. They are going to love you so much, and I love you so much. So stop overthinking; everything is going to be fine. Our kids will be proud of you so much."

"Really?" She asked, looking at him with hopeful eyes.

"Yeah." He gave her an assuring smile.

"Are you happy?" she asked.

"So much that I can't describe in words." He replied.

"No, I mean." She sniffed and asked, "Are you ready to welcome two kids at the same time?" She asked the question that came into her mind at first, and it keeps bothering her. There is fear in her eyes, which was not unnoticed by him.

"Hell yes, Tigress. I am so excited." He said it happily, and then she took a sigh of relief, and every fear and insecurity ran out of her mind. "Thank you so much for giving me that much happiness in my life. You completed me and my life." He kissed her forehead, and then she finally smiled.

"Oh, God!!!!! Hann!!" She giggled. "We will have two babies."

"Yes." He chuckled, and everyone just awed at them.

"Hann, we're going to have twins!!" She squealed in happiness and hugged him while giggling.

Henry is just smiling and admiring the sudden changes in her mood. ''Jesus! These two are changing my wife."

"Ammii!" Came Aarna's cute voice, who was pulling Noor's dress while looking at everyone cluelessly. "Waee massi ij clying? (Why is Massi crying?)" She was on the verge of crying. She can't see Samriddhi like this.

"Nothing, baby, I am not crying." Samriddhi instantly embraced her.

"Yuu wal (you were)," she pouted cutely.

"Your little siblings were making me cry." Samriddhi chuckled. Aarna scrunched her nose. Not knowing what to say.

They bring her inside and make her drink water.

"From now on, you will never visit the doctor alone." Henry said.

"Kyu? Har visit pe ek or bacha thodi na bdhega? (why? It's not like a baby's going to increase with every visit.)" Noor said it out of the blue, and Samriddhi choked on her water.

"Sorry, I didn't mean like that, dii." Noor apologized, and Henry burst out laughing.

Noor left after dinner, and Henry made her sleep.

They decided to tell everyone at this weekend's dinner at their parent's place.

Both are excited yet nervous. He starts taking extra care of her. She is scared, but he is here.

The weekend came, and they all gathered.

"We have a news." Both Henry and Richard said it at the same time, and everyone looked at them confused. Even they both looked at each other confused.

"You have already given an announcement; now what's left?" Richard asked suspiciously.

"What do you want to say?" Instead, Henry asked. "Whatever it is, wait. Let me announce it first..."

"No, no." Richard cut him off. "No brother. No. I will tell them first."

"No, my matter is far more important than any of your sick jokes..."

"How the hell do you know if it's important or not?" Richard cut him off.

"Why don't you both idiots shoot at the same time?" James said it irritatingly.

But instead of them, Samriddhi and Ellis screamed together.
"We are having twins!!!" 
"We are having a baby!!"

"WHAT?" Everyone is surprised at the same time. There's a lot of information to register for at one time.

"Oh, God is great!" Nenna exclaimed happily. "I will see all my grandchildren before I die."

"Congratulations, Ellis, darling." Kate hugged her and then embraced Samriddhi. "You surprised us again. Twins! Oh my God!! I am so excited."

"I can't wait to hold all three of them in my arms." Robert exclaimed excitedly.

Everyone congratulates Ellis & Richards and Henry & Samriddhi.

Samriddhi holds Ewan in her arms and asks, "Are you happy you're going to have three siblings?"

"Yessss." He chirped like a happy bird.

Now not only Henry's but also Richard's lives have turned upside-down.

Time is flying, and they are enjoying their soon-to-be parenthood time. Both are excited to welcome their little munchkins but also nervous.

Samriddhi is now six months pregnant, and her baby bump has started showing. Her clothes are not fitting anymore, and she is always frustrated with everything.

But Henry always keeps her calm and handles her maturely. But every night, one drama is compulsory.

Due to her baby bump, she can't sleep on her stomach anymore and cries every night in irritation and frustration.

So Henry coos to her and makes her comfortable in every way, and he keeps patting her head until she falls asleep.

She put on some weight, and the pregnancy glow is enhancing her beauty even more. He can't keep himself away from her, and surprisingly, she is horny every time as well.

So many insecurities arise in her mind every day, but she tries not to stress herself out for the sake of her children.

Right now, she is munching her snacks and watching The Big Bang Theory.

Henry comes out of his study and chuckles.

"What?" She asked, glaring at him.

"You know what you see will affect the kids. Right?" He asked.

"Then? Isn't it like I am seeing some murder mystery or psychotic documentary that our kids become like one? I am watching a sitcom and trying to make myself happy that my kids are born happy-go-lucky types." She replied.

"Then you don't want our kids to be like mini versions of Sheldon Cooper, right?" He said this, arching his eyebrows, and her jaw dropped, getting his point.

"No!No! No!No!!!!!" She turned off the TV and kept shaking her head. "He was a genius but an irritating one. I don't want any of our kids to be born with OCD."

Henry laughed.

"Hey! They don't." He was assuring her.
Since that day, she has always watched shows and movies with no such characters.

Most of the time, she tries to watch mythological shows and movies so that her kids learn the value of their religion in her womb. She wants her kids to know their roots.

Summar Navratri is about to come, and she is insisting on keeping fast.

"No Tigress you can't keep in such a condition." Henry denied

"But I always fast. Mata Rani will give me strength." She tried to defend herself.

"No, she will understand your situation and bless you. You don't have to keep fasting." He denied.

"Hann, please!!!!!" She whined.

"No."

"I will." She said it stubbornly.

"No, you won't." He replied sternly.

"You can't stop me."

"Ok, I will do fasting at your place."

"What?" She was shocked to hear his words.

"Yes, I will keep it at your place. I will do all the puja, but you won't."

She is speechless. Her non believer husband is going to do all the rituals by himself for her.

"Do we have a deal?" He asked.

"But Hann, how could you?" She whispered.

"I will for you and our babies." He replied while caressing her baby bump.

"Are you sure?" She asked.

"Yes, damn sure." He replied, kissing her head, and he kept fast at her place and did all the rituals.

A week went by in the blink of an eye, and Henry kept fasting with all his devotion.

From now on, Aarna will also sit in Kanya Puja, and she is the cutest Mata Rani. She also blessed Henry and Samriddhi with her tiny hands.

Navratri is gone, and now Samriddhi is craving something mouth-watering and spicy to eat.

Henry takes her to an Indian restaurant. She ordered food, and after eating the first morsel, she scrunched her nose, and Henry understood that she didn't like the food.

Before she could say anything or start yelling at the chief, Henry paid the check instantly and ordered them to pack the food and keep it in his car.

She is blabbering in irritation. "I can't even eat anything here. Why do I even come here? Ina vda restaurant te dheele da khana ni. Dil ta ker rya fook da iss restaurant nu. Inna naloo ta changa khana ta India ch dhabe te mil janda hai. (such a posh restaurant and disgusting food. I want to burn this restaurant to the ground. In India, better food is served in roadside dhaba than here.)"

She is blabbering with aggression, but Henry didn't say a word to put fuel in the fire. He shut his mouth and kept driving.

He stopped the car in front of Kohli Aunty's, and she went inside, still curing the restaurant owners.

Henry stepped inside after her and said to Kohli Aunty, "Please make some spicy Indian food for her," and he told her everything.

She instantly ran to the kitchen and started cooking for her. Samriddhi got busy with Aarna as her nanny was on leave today, so she spent the day with her kohli nani.

Noor came to pick her up and saw her dii here. Henry told her everything, and she started helping Kohli Aunty.

She made Veg Biryani for her as Samriddhi doesn't eat meat, and Kohli Aunty made Kdhai paneer and channa masala with pori for her and Kheer in the dessert.

She finally eats everything, and a smile of satisfaction appears on her lips.

Henry took a sigh of relief.

"Mzaa aara hai? (enjoying it?)" Noor teased Henry.

"Too much." He chuckled.

His everyday is like that to handle her mood swings. Now he is getting used to it.

Even she realizes that she is giving him too much trouble.

"Hann, Sorry. I know I am too much to handle. I was never like that, but..."

"Shush!" He keeps his index finger on her lips. "I know our kids are naughty, and they make you do everything, and I am enjoying every bit of it." He replied, and her eyes got moist. "Don't you dare to cry?" He warned her while wiping her tears.

"My emotions are always at their peak. I can't help it." She giggled, and they came back home.

But in the middle of the night, her sleep broke as she had a craving to eat ice cream. She opened the refrigerator in her room and started enjoying her ice cream.

She emptied the tub and then awoke him.

"Hann!!"

"What happened?" He woke up instantly. "Are you okay?" and babies?" He got worried.

"We want ice cream." She replied while showing her toothy smile.

"Wait, I'll get." He chuckled at seeing the empty tub in her hand while her mouth was all stained with ice cream stains.

"No, there is no ice cream in there." She replied, and he frowned, saying that she ate all of the boxes because he just filled the stock this evening. "There was only one box of this flavor." She defended herself while showing him the box. "And we want only this flavor."

"Sure." He chuckled, picked up some wet wipes, and cleaned her face. Then he picked up his phone and wallet.

"Where are you going?" she asked.

"To get the ice cream." He replied.

"I'll come with you too." She said that while getting up on her feet.

"At this hour?" He asked, a bit surprised.

"You are going to," she replied.

"Ok, let's go." He replied while giving her a jacket.

Then they reach their garage, and she tells him to take his sports car. He picked that one with an open roof, as she insisted.

They reach the city and finally find one ice cream parlor still open.

He got a big tub of the same flavor, and she started enjoying it.

"Ummm. I love you, Hann." She moaned, and he shook his head while smiling.

She insisted he eat as well. "Hann, just one spoon. Please."

"No." He denied it instantly.

"Please."

"No."

"For babies. Please." She pleaded, and he sighed.

She put the spoon near his lips, and he ate it.

"Ahhhh." She gasped, holding her bump.

"What's wrong?" He panicked.

She giggled and put his hand over her baby bump. "I think one of the babies just kicked."

"Really?" he asked, but now there is no movement. He was a little disappointed.

"Babies love when their dad eats ice cream. Hann, eat more." She giggled.

"One more tub, please." He ordered the serving man, and he felt the kick.

"Did you feel it?" She asked.

"Yeah. I did." He chuckled happily. "God! Tigress, this feeling is remarkable. I can't describe my feelings." He bent a little down, kissed her bump, and said, "Dad loves you both." Feeling kids' moments are priceless for them.

"Both?" She narrowed her eyes.

"After you, my Khaleesi, you are my first love." He said that and gave her a peck on the lips. She smiled.

After eating their ice cream, they left. But while settling in the car, she demanded, "Hann, let's go to your favorite place."

"Now?"

"Yes. Tomorrow is Sunday, and we are free. Please."

"Ok fine."

All the way, they had a romantic, long drive. They reached there and enjoyed the marvelous view of the city under the shiny stars.

"Hann." She whispered while hugging him.

"Hmm."

"It's peaceful." She whispered.

"I know," he replied, kissing her head.

"Hann, what do you want?" She asked.

"What do you mean?" He questioned.

"I mean as our kids. What do you want?"

Yes, they didn't know the gender yet because both wanted it to be a surprise.

"A girl, definitely yes, and maybe another one is a boy." He replied. "I don't know whatever it will be, but I want a daughter for sure. What do you want, tigress?" He asked.

"The same. A girl and a boy will be perfect. In that way, we will have both, and I don't have to get pregnant again." He laughed upon hearing her words. " Don't laugh. It's not easy to get pregnant.” She whined while complaining. “Two girls will be better if there is not one girl and one boy, but two boys are not okay. A biggggggg nooo to two boys."

"Why?" he asked, chuckling.

"Hann, girls are way better than boys. I don't want two boys at the same time. My mind will explode." She replied, and he was just laughing at her cute reasons.

"Have you decided on any name?" He asked.

"No, not yet. Do you?" She asked, looking at him.

"Yes, for our girl. I decided on a name long ago but never thought of a boy." He replied.

"What name have you decided, Hann?" She asked excitedly.

"I want her to be like you, so I want her to be named after you. Riddhi. Then I will have double prosperity and good luck in my life." He replied, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"My kids are so lucky to have a father like you, Hann." She replied, and he wiped her tears.

"I hate these fucking tears." He whispered while wrapping his arms around her.

"Hann if I die..."

"Excuse me!" He cut her off instantly.

She tried to explain herself. "Just a fact..."

"Shut up!" He cut her off again.

"First listen to me." She tried to justify herself.

"I don't want to." He replied sternly. The thing he doesn't even want to imagine as his worst nightmare, she wants to talk about.

"Then I only want a normal delivery.'' She said suddenly.

"Huh? What?" He was shocked by the sudden change in her answer.

"I don't want a c-section at any cost. I can't bear that much pain. If there is any need for a c-section, then just simply kill me."

"Are you mad?"

"No, I am serious. I can't take that pain, Hann…”

“For your kind of information, C-section is a lot less painful than normal delivery.” He cut her off.

“But they will cut me, and I am scared of that. Just choose our kids and take care of them."

"Stop all this nonsense, Tigress." He said it sternly.

"This is life, Hann, and it's unpredictable. Always choose them over me, and please don't give them an evil stepmother." She is blabbering about the things that run through her mind.

"Are you even listening to yourself?" He said it in disbelief. “Don't be an overthinker…..”

"Ok, I understand you have needs." She cut him off.

"Enough!"

"No, you can marry anyone, then just give them to Mumma." She will take care of them, and you may live happily with your new….."

He closed her mouth with his lips. He left her lips after a long, hungry kiss, and he left her lips after biting her.

"Do you get your answer?" He asked, looking straight into her eyes. "You are my only love. All I need is you, and I will never let anything happen to you." He said it word-for-word. "You are my life, so don't you dare to think like this ever again. I won't let anything happen to you. Understood? I won't hear such things from your mouth ever again." The dominance and possessiveness in his words are not hidden from her.

She is the same after all.

"I love you 3000, Hann." She hugged him.

They came back home, and he got a call from Smith.

"Who is calling at this time?" She asked.

"Smith...."

"Why are you calling Mr. Smith secretly like this?" She asked.

"Just business stuff. He is gone for a business trip." He replied.

"Wrap it quickly. I am waiting in our room." She went away.

"Yes, Smith." He answered when she left. "When will you reach? Ok. I will be waiting for you." He cut the call and went to his room.

The next morning, she woke up with a long thread tying around her finger with a note: 'Follow the lead.

She got up instantly and started following the way the thread showed her.

She came out of her room and then slowly walked to the other side, and it ended after two rooms of hers.

There is a chit on the door: 'Come inside.

She instantly opens it, gets inside, and is welcomed by him. "Surprise!!"

"Oh, God!!" She was surprised after seeing the nursery decorated for their babies.

The whole room is filled with toys, a twin bed set, and everything babies need.

"You like it?" He asked, coming towards her.

"I love it." She sobbed.

"Again?"

"Tears of happiness." She whispered.

He hides her in his arms instantly.

"Babies love it too." She said, caressing her bump as she felt a kick. "It's beautiful, Hann, but when did that happen?"

"From many days. After you left for work," he replied, and she smiled.

They had a peaceful Sunday like every Sunday, but in the evening, their doorbell rang.

"Who could be at this time?" She thought.

"Let's check." He replied, getting up, and she followed him. He opens the door.

"Surprise!!!!!!!"

"Hawwwwwww!!" She gasped and jumped on her nani.

"Careful." Nani warned.

"What are you doing here? I mean, how?" She asked, surprised.

"Ask our son." Nani replied proudly, and then she saw her mother and Manvii coming with Smith.

"So that was Mr. Smith's business?" She asked.

"Simmi diii." Manvi came running in her direction and hugged her.

"How are you, baby?" She asked.

"I am fine." Manvi replied and jumped into Henry's arms, 'Jeej!!!!"

"How are you, Princess?" He kissed her chubby cheeks, and she met her mother.

Henry greeted his mother-in-law and took them inside.

"I want to know everything." Samriddhi demanded.

"Henry invited us for your delivery. We'll stay here until my grandsons arrive......"

"Wait, Nani Mumaa! Hold on. Don't give me such curses. No grandsons. We want granddaughters of yours and maybe one grandson, but we are not sure." She cut her off instantly. "Why is Nana Ji not with you?"

"Visa issues. Don't worry, Mokshita is with him." Her mother replied.

"Thank you, Hann." She turned to him, and he gave her his charming smile.

"Anything for you, Tigress."
