Sanyukta and Randhir are on the terrace, Sanyukta is sitting with her back pressed against the wall while Randhir is lying down having his head on her lap, his ear pressed to her belly. He could hear very faint lub dubs of heart of his babies. He is not sure if he could hear the sound or he is imagining it, nevertheless he is liking it. Sanyukta is caressing his hair with one hand while fingers of her hand is entwined with Randhir's.

'Sanyu...I am so happy' Randhir whispers, he tilts his head slightly and kisses her belly. Sanyukta smiles and continues to caress his hair.

'Me too' she says, she bends little and kisses his forehead.

Randhir looks up at the sky, it's a clear night sky, the moon and the stars shining brightly, gentle breeze blowing making the atmosphere very comfortable.

'Sanyukta...when you first saw me? Did you imagine in the future you would be expecting my children?' Randhir says caressing her jaw with back of his fingers, looking at her lovingly.

Sanyukta frowns, she places her finger on her chin tapping it as though in deep thought, then she looks at him 'Not even in my wildest dreams...had I known I would have happily left engineering' she says and laughs.

Randhir frowns and sits up straight, Sanyukta is surprised.

'Am I that bad?' he says puffing up his cheeks and folding his arms across his chest.

'Aww....' She says pinching his cheeks 'God knows how I will manage three kids' she says ruffling his hair

Randhir moves her hand 'Don't touch my hair, ya...it takes lot of effort to make it' Randhir whines like a kid.

Sanyukta is finding him incredibly adorable and irresistible now, she leans in and kisses the corner of his mouth, she is about to shift when Randhir places his hand on her waist and pulls her closer. Sanyukta blushes and lowers her eye lashes, her cheeks turning crimson red. Randhir admires her for a while and then leans over kissing her forehead, she smiles. He tilts his head little sideways and moves his lips towards hers, their lips inches apart. His lips brushes over hers and Sanyukta shies. She hugs him, resting her head on his chest. Randhir smiles and kisses the top of her head.

Randhir rests his back on the wall and Sanyukta shifts closer, he places his arm around her and she places her head on his shoulder. Randhir places his hand on her belly caressing it lovingly. Sanyukta places her hand over his, they look at each other. They smile, Randhir leans in and they kiss. Minutes later they part, Sanyukta rests her head on his shoulder again.

They sit like that for some more time, Randhir hears soft snores. He tilts his head slightly and notices Sanyukta has fallen asleep. Randhir smiles and admires her for a while, he then carefully shifts in his place and gently scoops her in his arms making sure not to wake her up. He carries her to her room.

Sanaya and Kritika are asleep so he has to be careful to not wake them up as well. He places Sanyukta on her bed, he goes and removes her slippers. She seems to be in deep sleep, Randhir kneels down next to her.

He moves few random strands of her hair and tucks it behind her ear, they were disturbing view of her beautiful face.

He then places his palm on her belly

'Hello my babies...'he says looking there lovingly, he leans and kisses it 'Daddy here...you know your daddy is so excited to hold you in his arms... (he leans in and kisses her belly again) Daddy loves you...come soon...I wonder how you both will look like...how will it feel to hold you in my arms...? Daddy loves you...I promise I will give you both everything...all my love...all my attention...my time... I will prove to be world's best Papa...you three...yes, your mother included.... I love you three' He says, he then looks at Sanyukta. He holds her palm in his and kisses the back of her palm.

He then stands and then covers her properly with the duvet.

He then leaves the room cautiously, as he closes the door slowly he looks at Sanyukta's sleeping figure lovingly. A teardrop escapes Sanyukta's eyes as she flutters them open. She had been awake while he was carrying her to the room, she pretended to be asleep just so that he doesn't feel guilty of waking her up. She smiles and places her palm over her belly

'Daddy, is really excited isn't he? Well...Mumma is excited as well...you both are our shining stars...and we three...Mom and the kids loves Daddy as well.... don't we...my babies' Sanyukta says talking to her babies while caressing her belly. She kisses her palm and places it over her belly. She feels blissful, she quickly wipes the tear from corner of her eyes and adjusts her duvet laying down on the bed. Soon she falls asleep.

Next day, ISRC lab, 9am

Sanyukta is working in the lab, she had been here since 8am. She had managed to drag the girls but the men where yet to come, she had texted everyone to come by 9. She looks at the door impatiently. She takes out her mobile and texts Randhir asking him what is taking everyone so long.

9.30 am

Sanyukta is angry now, Sanaya and Kritika are already working while the men are still missing.

'Relax, Sanyukta. Don't stress yourself' Sanaya says watching restless Sanyukta pacing in the lab.

'How can I? we have a freaking mission to complete and the boys are taking everything so lightly.' Sanyukta lashes out at Sanaya, Kritika places her hand over Sanaya's.

'She is pregnant' Kritika whispers to Sanaya

'Her mood swings will start soon' Sanaya whispers back

A while later Sumit Joy and Arjun comes chatting with each other, Sanyukta felt her blood boil looking at them casually walk in.

'What the hell?' she says angrily, she looks at them and frowns 'where is Randhir?' she says, fury in her eyes, her nostrils flaring.

'He...He...taking...shower...'Sumit says looking at her fearfully. Sanyukta glares at them

'That idiot is going to get it from me' Sanyukta says angrily, she pushes past Joy and Sumit.

'Sheku is dead' Sanaya says giggling.

Sanyukta storms into the boy's room, she looks around finding it empty. she hears sound of shower coming from inside the bathroom. She tilts her head little and places her hands on her hips, her lips tightly pressed together and a frown on her face. She goes and knocks the bathroom door.

'Sumit, good tu aa gaya...pass me the towel...it's on my bed' Randhir yells from inside. Sanyukta looks towards his bed and finds it handing from edge of his bed. She frowns and grabs the towel. She knocks again.

Randhir opens the door slightly sticking out his hand and waving it around looking for the towel.

'Hurry up and come out soon' she says handing him the towel, he pauses holding the towel. Sanyukta turns to leave when he holds her hand and pulls her in. she gasps.

'Randhir, what the hell?' she says as he pins her to the wall, cold water drenching her. Randhir admires her lovingly, she has her eyes squeezed shut. Randhir moves strand of hair which were sticking to her face, his fingers brushing against her skin and she shivers.

'Open your eyes, love' he whispers huskily.

She shakes her head in a No

'Why?' he pouts

'You...you...are...nak...not wearing anything' she says, she then manages to open her eyes. Reflexively she looks down and closes her eyes tightly again.

'Are you mad?' she says and pushes him.

She walks few steps away from him turning her back to him.

'Why are you not looking? Is something happening to you on seeing your hot husband like this?' he teases

Sanyukta rolls her eyes, she could feel him smirk as he said that. She bends down picking up the towel that had fallen when she was dragged in. She sticks out the towel to him still not looking at him.

'Stop this drama and wear this' she says. Sanyukta just needed to get out from here, she knows his presence is doing things to her, especially when he is not wearing anything. She could very well picture how he must be looking now. Sanyukta shivers feeling goose bumps erupt on her skin as he holds her arms.

Dhak Dhak Dhak...her heart beating rapidly inside her ribcage, her palms sweating, butterflies flying in her stomach, her hormones going haywire. Damn! She needs to get out of here. Randhir takes the towel from her hand. She finds herself getting breathless as he pushes her hair to one side and kisses her shoulder.

'Ra...Ra..' she begins, he turns her around and cups her face in his palms. She looks down, good he has towel wrapped around his waist. She smiles and closes her eyes, he kisses her forehead. He then kisses the top of her nose and moves his lips to kiss her when she gently pushes him and hurries from there

'Not fair' Randhir complains

Sanyukta closes the door and leans pressing her back against the wall, she places her hand over her heaving chest trying to steady her breath. She holds the door knob feeling her knees too weak to help her stand. She blushes furiously recollecting the incident that happened minutes ago, all her anger melting right away.
