Sahadev and Nakul ran to get the things they'll need, Arjun's face paled as the scenarios of her last labor flashed to his mind, he gulped as she gave another scream out. "Shhhhh priye." He whispered as he kissed her forehead, as her tear traced down her cheeks making her heart burn with pain as he looked at her.

A man entered their room the sound of his feet had Arjun's head snapping up, Dhananjay growled as the protective side of a husband as well as a father came roaring out, tearing every last bit of his sense, the looked around their age this irked him more because this was his and his family's very private and precious moment, he dared enter their chambers. He glared as he took in the stranger's form, muscular body, sharp features and wore the clothes of a ved. "Who are you?" Arjun growled, his protective side came roaring out as he watched the man freeze and look up at him nervously, "I am the ved. " He whispered, his head bowed showing that he meant no harm, Arjun's grip tightened on his wife, like hell he will let this man close to his princess when she is in so much pain! Like hell will he let him touch her,doesn't matter if he is god himself. "like hell you are! You're not getting close to her!" He growled as his jaw set, fury lacing his words as he snapped at him making him jump with fear, "Aryaaa." She cried as she wrapped her hand around his, trying to calm him down and distract him,giving the man a chance to run, the poor guy trembled where he stood, "shhh sweetheart, Nakul and Sahadev will be here soon. Breath my girl, just breath." He cooed, as his face relaxed as he gazed at his crying wife. "Shh baby." He crooned as he rubbed her swollen belly. His instincts kicked in, trying to ease and sooth the pain of his very pregnant lover, "I am gonna make it all better, it'll be over soon, we'll be cradling our little babies in our arms very soon." He mumbled sweetly as his eyes met her watery once, he kissed her forehead, the anger forgotten as his focus shifted to caressing and cradling his little love. "You're doing so good baby girl." He whispered as he guided her through the breathing exercises, relaxing and calming her, easing her pain.

"Who are you?!" Bheem growled shattering the peace that Panchaali had successfully managed to establish by distracting her husband, she shut her eyes as another wave of pain hit her, it wasn't so intense, she knew how much horrible it would get so she was able to hold it back, her hands tightened on Dhananjay as he growled once again as his attention was brought on that man, she shook her head tears tracing down her cheeks, all his anger evaporated as his eyes fell on his crying wife, "Shhh baby its okay, everything is fine." he crooned as he wrapped his arms around her and pulled in his chest, hiding her face in the crook of his nek, anger boiled in his chest but his precious girl was more important than that idiot, he cooed and rubbed her back as he mumbled sweet nothings in her ear.

Bheem's anger on the other hand just increased,he wrapped his hand around the throat of the man and slammed him hard against the wall making the man loose his breath, the mere sight of another man's presence on their private floor, their room, specifically when she was going to give birth was enough to enrage them. her soft cries were just adding fuel in the fire of anger that blazed brighter, threatening to burn the man in front of him, kill him. he growled like an animal, the instinct of a man kicking in, his girl was in pain and this stranger was around,the thought was enough to snap his neck. 

"Bheem let him go!" Mata Kunti said as she entered in, her face was a mask of horror, "What are you doing?!" She asked horrified as she looked at her son who was fuming, "How dare he enter here!" He shouted making his mother freeze as the situation dawned on her, "let him go!" She commanded making him loosen his grip, "ARYA!" The pain filled scream of his wife had Bheem freezing as his head snapped side ways, his eyes shot to his wife, her face a mask of agony and fear as her eyes met his, Arjun was barely holding her as she struggled with pain. The anger evaporated and worry filled his heart as he threw the man on the ground completely forgetting about him, "shh little angel, it'll all be good soon little one." he whispered as he sat next to her, sandwiching her between him and his brother. Kunti pulled the man out, giving her boys the privacy that they needed, that they craved. She wanted to stay but she knew this was their moment, the moment when together they'll bring the babies they created into this world. She moved out with a smile pulling the man the her. 

The twins entered with Yudhisthir, their faces a mixture of worry and excitement. They were about to be fathers once again but something about this moment felt all to sacred and new, it was like they were being fathers for the first time, the mere thought of holding two new lives in their arms excited them, they removed the angvastras so they wouldn't get in way and got to work, each one knew their part, this was they now had some experience, Panchaali was doing better than last time.

"you are doing amazing my butterfly." Nakul as he checked once again, how much she had dilated, "Are we there yet?" Yudhisthir questioned as he pressed his lips to her cheeks, s he cleaned the sweat on her forehead. "Just half an hour more and than we are good to go." He said as he patted her thigh, "You mean just half an hour more before I start cussing up a storm and blaming you for getting me in this pain for the second time." she joked making the others laugh, "Oh really? If I remember it correctly you were a moaning and panting mess, screaming my name on top of your lungs when you conceived the two!" Nakul teased, his eyes holding hers in an intense gaze as she blushed, her cheeks resembling a tomato, as embarrassment flooded her chest, "Aryaputr Nakul!" she chastised, her heart hammering in her chest as the others chuckled at her expense. He put his hand on either side of her waist and dropped a kiss on her lips, "You're my wife and I am damn proud of it." he whispered as he bit her lipsbefore pulling back, they all chuckled as Yudhisthir who just smiled, she wrapped her hands around him and nuzzled  her head in the crook of her neck, "Arya look at them, they are all teasing me, they are all being big meanies." she complained making him smile as she gave them a fake glare, "Nakul." he said in a warning tone making Nakul just smile bashfully. "Ahhh!" She moaned in pain as she felt the tightening of her womb, "Good girl princess. Easy baby. Here drink this." Sahadev said as he brought a glass of greenish liquid to her mouth. "Nooo arya please, you know I hate this stuff, it tastes yuck."  she complained as she turned her face in the opposite direction of the glass, her face scrunching up cutely making them all beam at her adorableness. "You're my good girl aren't you?" Arjun asked, as she pressed his lips to her forehead, "And I am big girl too so this tricks of yours won't work on me arya..." her words was cut off by another pain of gasp making the hearts of the pandavas lurch in their chest with worry. "Don't be stubborn my sweet girl, be a darling and drink it." Bheem coaxed her as Sahadev brought the glass to her lips, "No please arya." she whispered as she shook her head, " Its okay baby we are here, its not so bad." Sahadev lied, in all honesty it was very bad, it tasted like hell, it was so sour, he pinched her nose and made her drink everything. Her face scrunched up in disgust as she pushed the glass away in disgust, "You lied!" she accused, he winced. "Sorry baby girl, if it wasn't so good for your labour and easy delivery my sweet, i would never give it to you." he said apologetically as he moved to check her vitals, "ARYA!" she screamed in agony making their hearts tighten in fear, she might be feeling the pain physically but it tore them to see her suffer, her pain was never really hers, it bounded to them, her every hitch of breath, a twitch of pain, they felt it all and it hurt them worse then their own pain. Blood gushed from her as the air that she had been holding in her lungs expelled with a loud scream, that shattered their heart, their eyes watered as they tried to sooth her.

Anxiety and worry built in their chest, "Okay sweetheart you're ready. Push when you feel the next contraction come." Nakul instructed blinking back tears, "UGGGHHHH!" she screamed as she pushed, her heart hammering in her chest making her loose her breath, Yudhisthir wiped the sweat on her forehead as the pandavas mumbled sweet nothings in her ear. "Good girl my princess. Breath and relax, sip this water till the next contraction comes." Sahadev's voice was calm unlike his heart that was thumping wildy in his chest, adrenaline flowing through his body making his heart hammer in his chest harder.

The most difficult twenty minutes of their life had passed, their wife gave a loud cry of pain and soon the cries of a baby filled the room, the tension in the room dispersed as tears filled their eyes, joy filled their heart, it flowed through them making them look at their little son who was crying in the arms of their youngest brother. They smiled, their faces a perfect mask of ecstasy as they looked at their little son, "AHHHH!" their wife's scream brought them back to the present situation at hand. Their hearts beat with anticipation of a daughter, a daughter! Arjun took his new born son in his arms as Bheem cut the umbilical cord, a wide smile on his face.

A silence descended on the room as second cries filled the room, the hearts of the pandavas seemed to have stopped as they watched with hitching breath as Nakul picked up the baby girl, the soft cries of their little creation were like the music to their ears, the most beautiful creation , their little doll, their very own little Draupadi. Arjun pressed his lips to the forehead of his unconscious wife, his body racking with sobs as he looked at their little daughter who cried in Nakul's arms, he was the happiest man on this planet, he was the father of a daughter! His Daughter! His heart was beating with joy, he didn't know what to do, should he cry? Laugh? He felt like doing everything now, all together. Today there were no limits to his joy.

Bheem looked at his blood covered daughter, a lone tear tracing down his cheek as he laughed, his little rosebud was born, finally! His little laddoo, his most precious sweet, he shut his eyes and thanked the gods that they blessed him with a daughter,that they thought them worthy enough to bless with a daughter. A true blessing she was to his heart.

Yudhisthir was speechless, she was just so beautiful, so very beautiful that his heart was overwhelmed with joy. His little daughter, his child, he laughed with such great happiness in his heart as he looked at her, his very own little miracle, he pressed his lips to the head of his wife, "Thank you, oh lord, thank you so much love for gifting us such beautiful children." He whispered as he kissed her forehead, his heart was bursting with joy, he was on top of the world today.

Sahadev and Nakul gazed at their little precious daughter, she was so very precious, she wa the fruit of all the good karmas that they had done in their past and present life, a perfect gift, the biggest blessing on the world, a daughter. Their daughter, their cutest little child, their reason for joy, they felt like their hearts were now synced with hers,they would protect her from every pain. They promised themselves that they would cherish her more than life, their little treasure, their daughter, their soul. . .
