Talatu rushed in hearing Marmie shouting from there Tehzeeb's part she ran inside and there she saw why Marmie was shouting she quickly rushed out to call AA escort which they picked him up while Talatu and crying Marmie pick Tehzeeb and the baby and they were rushed to a near by hospital. They accepted them immediately, and Tehzeeb and the baby were rushed inside together with AA. They begin to attend to them immediately and luckily enough AA breathe was back which he opened his eyes and got up immediately "where is my family?" He asked, trying to remove the IV on his hand

"Sir, you need to calm down. You're still on drip, " one of the nurses tried to say, which AA pushed her aside and walked out of the room. When he came out, he saw Marmie pacing up and down with tears

"Marmie, where is my wife?" He asked, running to Marmie . When Marmie saw him, she sighed out of relief seeing her son on his feet, but she was worried for her grandchild and daughter-in-law

"They're still inside, son," Marmie answered , and AA walked to the door he thought his wife is and opened the door without knocking

"Sir, you're not supposed to be here. Please go outside," a nurse said

"Get the hell out of my way. I need to see my wife" which he pushed the nurse that was trying to stop him aside and he saw his wife laying on the bed with different wires connected to her body "Baby please don't leave me" AA said getting closed to Tehzeeb before holding her hand in his "please baby don't leave me" he said in tears which one of the doctor's tap him

"Sir, please take heart. She will be fine. But she needs some rest. "

"Don't tell me to calm down. You need to save my wife or I swear I will have all of you behind bar if anything is to happen to her" AA said angrily to the doctor who those not care since he has seen many people like AA before. AA sat before his wife getting holding of her hand weeping Cox. He didn't know how his life would be without Tehzeeb in it. He totally forgot about the baby because all his after was his wife's life.

Marmie was still waiting for the doctors to come out from the baby's room. She was about to move when the door to the baby's room was open "doctor how is the baby?" Marmie asked

"Don't worry, ma'am. The baby is fine it's just due to the stress, that's why her breathing was not clear, "the doctor said reassuringly, which marmie sighed in relief

"Can I see the baby?" Marmie asked hopefully which the doctor smiled and let her be

Tehzeeb did not open her eyes and AA did not take an inch away from her said while Marmie had already informed everyone which Umma Gogo Hajiya Kande Khady Ibrahim and Abba were all in the hospital because they were not allow to see Tehzeeb but they saw the baby. AA was still holding Tehzeeb hand when he saw it move and the monitor begin to beep and making noise, he quickly stand up"baby please open your eyes am here for you don't leave me, our baby needs you" he said waiting for Tehzeeb to open her eyes which she did and he run out to call the doctor in charge not noticing the people waiting for Tehzeeb to wake up. They entered and saw her trying to remove the IV, which AA quickly walked to her and stopped her. "Baby stop," he said, stopping her from removing it. Which the doctor did, and AA helped her to sit up right. The doctor checked her for a while before speaking

"Mrs, how did you feel now?" The doctor asked

"Am thirsty," Tehzeeb whispered, which AA quickly got her a cup of water, and she drank

"How did you feel now?" The doctor asked again

"Am tired," she replies weakly

"Is there anywhere that's paining you or headache?"

"No."

"Good, don't worry with time you will be okay, it's all due to the labour stress you went through all alone" and then Tehzeeb recalled she was pregnant, she touched her Tommy and felt flat

"My baby. My baby, " she said, trying to get down from the bed in panicked

"Shhhh, the baby is safe," AA said

"My baby," she said in tears, which the doctor asked Marmie to bring the baby before Tehzeeb kept quiet. Immediately, she saw the baby and collected it. She smiled and placed the baby on her chest using her nose to inhale her

"Our baby is fine," AA said, which she smiled and nodded her head

Tehzeeb was discharged after the doctor saw that she's fit and could be discharged. She was taking to Marmie's part since AA said she's not going to allow her to go to Umma's house for her bath. Marmie and Gogo were taking good care of Tehzeeb very well, which Umma sent herbs for her from time to time, and local dishes she knows are good for lactating mothers. Before you know it, Tehzeeb was fit, and the baby was beautiful. Cox looked like Tehzeeb but had an AA complexion.

On the naming day, the baby was named Zainab since Marmie was saying the baby should be named after Umma and Umma was saying they should name the baby after Marmie. So AA decided not to name the baby after them again since both of them were making him go crazy. AA spends money like he doesn't know the value of money. Ibrahim filled two sets of boxes for the baby and momma, saying it's from he and his wife. Bashir was not left out because he filled one box, but immediately AA walked in and saw the box he asked

"Baby, where is this from again?" He asked, not knowing who gave them because he saw Ibrahim's and Khady's own

"It's from Bashir," Tehzeeb replies, not bringing any thoughts

"Why?" AA asked angrily

"Why, what I don't get you?" Tehzeeb asked, confused

"This box should be returned with immediate effect. I don't want to see anything from Bashir. "

"I don't get you. Is it a crime he shows he cares for our daughter? "

"I don't know, and I don't care. All I want is for you to return this box. "

"Am not returning anything since you can't get over him. Your jealousy is getting the worst of you Cox it's too much. For Godsake, I just gave birth, and you're still doubting our relationship, " Tehzeeb said angrily, not liking what her husband is doing

"And so. Just because you gave birth does not give him the guarantee"

"You know what? Do whatever you like but am not returning this box," Tehzeeb replies with finality walking out on him, but he holds her back

"Don't you dare walk out on him,"

"And if I do, what will you do?" Tehzeeb replies, not caring."I thought we were over this, but I think you could never trust me, " Tehzeeb said before flinging his hand away and leaving the room for him. AA did not know what came over him but all he knows is that he won't give up until he sees Bashir married to someone else then atleast he could have a little bit of peace in his heart knowing he's no longer single

Tehzeeb did not give her husband any chance to see him, and when he tried to use the baby's excuse, she would send Talatu to give him the baby. That continues for some days until AA decided to seek for forgiveness "am sorry, baby," he said immediately he entered the room, which Tehzeeb pretended not to hear him. "I am sorry for setting mad over nothing. It's just that I can't believe his over you until I see him married to another lady, " AA confessed

"For Godsake, if his not over me at least I am over him because I loved you now and not him again. I even got pregnant and gave birth to your child. Is that not enough for you to believe I am over him, and so does he, but your insecurities won't let you be"

"Am sorry such thing won't Happened again"

"That's what you say the last time,"

"I mean it this time," AA said, but still yet tehzeeb did not forgive him until he pleaded for long and swore before she forgives him

Everything was going fine because Zainab was growing up, which made both the parents to be happy, especially Marmie, the grandma. She couldn't believe her dream had come through

"My man, I am tired of staying at home all day. At least you can allow me to work now," Tehzeeb said, her head in AA lap since Zainab was with Marmie

"Not yet, baby. I will let you work, but till you give me like five children first, " AA said

"Please don't say that. You want me to be giving birth every year?" Tehzeeb asked, not believing what she heard

"Any how you want it but you're not working now until I have more children and please don't bring that topic again" AA said which Tehzeeb did not bothered herself to say anything again but deep down she don't like what AA said.

AA dressed up for which Tehzeeb dressed up too. "Where to early this morning?" AA asked

"Am going to work with you since I can't go out,"

"Well, it's okay by me, but you're going with the baby,"

"Am not she old enough to be left at home. Moreover, Marmie is there to take care of her. "

"Over my dead body will I allow you to go out without my child."

"Ooo, it's only yours now. Have you forgotten I carried her in my womb for nine months?"

"That doesn't matter. Have said it, you're not going out without the baby. "

"But"

"That's final. You can tag along but with the baby, " which Tehzeeb decided not to go because she's trying to stop breastfeeding the baby since she's old enough to stop feeding her with breast milk

Life continues, Bashir got married, and that's when AA heart was at peace, so he decided to surprised his wife today. "Baby," he said, singing which Tehzeeb, who was in the toilet, couldn't answer, so he walked inside her room and heard the sound of water, which he sat on the bed waiting for her. Tehzeeb walked out with a towel wrapped around her chest. AA gets up and kisses her and begins to devour every part of her body till he throws the towel away from her body. He satisfied himself before he smiled and looked at Tehzeeb, who was wrapped in bedsheet "baby guess what?" AA asked

"Am not good at guessing, you know that," Tehzeeb said, smiling

"Oh joy killer. Fine, " he handed over the envelope to her

"What is this for?" She asked

"Just open it" AA said which Tehzeeb did as she was told immediately she open it and read what was inside the envelope she throw it away and gave AA a complete package of love making because of what he did. After like rounds of love making, they bathed

"Thank you, my man," Tehzeeb said, kissing him immediately they come out from the toilet. " Never expect to work this soon," she said happily

"Everything for you, my love."

"I love you,"

"And I love you too," which they were entangled in each other's arms throughout since Zainab is always at Marmie place.

Tehzeeb started her work but that does not stop her from taking care of her husband and children because she gave birth to another baby girl which was name after Marmie but they called her Amal and got miscarriage ones which almost caused problem because AA said it's work stress but she get to convince him which he agreed.

The love between AA and Tehzeeb was growing every second they spent together, which they couldn't differentiate who loved the other more. Thou they do have misunderstanding but they settle their difference
