•OBEROI MANSION•
The environment of Oberoi Mansion was all gleeful & delighted since the news of the coming baby spread up. Mr. Oberoi & Mr. Wadhwa could not contain their happiness. After losing their wives & getting their children married, they did feel some kind of loneliness. A kind of absence was always there & thankfully they were going to be blessed with the best present they could ever ask for.

As soon as Mr. Oberoi was well enough to get off from his bed, he decided to throw a big bash at the end of the month so that the whole city & the world knows that he is gonna be a grandfather.

Initially Annika had some speculations regarding the party, she was not sure of letting the news open to everyone out there because she was still not sure if things between Shivay & her will settle down but the whole month Shivay literally took extra care of her. The way he treated her with immense care & concern was melting her heart. He was extra protective about her breakfast, lunch & dinner. He would make sure that she takes rest in between. He would make sure that she goes for a walk daily obviously he accompanied her. He would cancel the most important of his meetings for her without even thinking twice. These small little things were literally making Annika proud of her husband.

The second month has passed successfully and now Annika was beaming with a radiant pregnancy glow on her face with a cute little baby bump bulging out of her tummy. Shivay literally had to gulp down his urge to mark her his own again everytime he saw her, but he was waiting for the right time, he cannot claim her body untill he claims her heart & he had no options but to kill his desires.

The whole month everything was same, Shivay took extra care of his Annika & his baby, he talked to the baby in the same way by keeping his hands on her tummy, he took extra care of her medicines, they knew there were coming close to each other, not physically though but emotionally. Shivay was happy, he knew she needed her own time & he was happy to give her that, atleast things were positive if not great.

•ANNIKA•
The house was full of servants & management teams who were busy in decorating the house & preparing for the party next day. Although she was strictly warned not to involve herself in household task or any stress regarding the preparations of the party, but Annika being Annika sneaked out of her room to look after the arrangements.

The moment she lied down on bed after the evening tea she felt so relaxing. Her feets got swollen due to fatigue. It was time for Shivay to come back from office. She always waited for him, her eyes longed to see him although she never said it or showed it to him.

•SHIVAY•
Shivay entered the room to see her lying down on the bed, her eyes closed while the hands resting on her tummy. Everytime he saw her his heart told him that Annika was so beautiful. Her pretty eyes, her little nose, her luscious pink lips, her cute face, everything attracted him towards her moreover the pregnancy glow did magic on her. She looked no less than a beautiful princess. He always gulped hard to see her, controlling the desires to love your pretty wife was not easy.

As soon as he kept his entered to the bed, she opened her eyes. He always wondered how she always got to know his presence even with eyes closed but he knew it happens because she still loved him, coz even he could feel her presence without actually looking at her.

He passed her a warming smile, she smiled back. She was trying to sit when he came & helped her.

"How was your day?" he asked looking at her.

"It was boring!" she complained pouting.

"Oh stop this torture Annika, why cant I just kiss her" his mind schreamed looking at her pouty lips.

"Why are your feets swollen Annika?" he literally freaked out when he saw her feets. He touched her feets and started caressing them.

"Relax Shivay, its nothing. This happens in pregnancy" she tried to relax him.

"How can it just happen? You must have done some work, dont tell me you were busy in preparing for the party whole day?" he said eyeing her.

"Shi..Shivayy Actually I was getting so bored in the room so I went out to check if things were going fine, dont worry"  she said.

"Why cant you just listen to me Annika? I have told you not to engross yourself in these activities" he literally snapped at her. He cant bare if something happens to her or his baby. He will simply die without them and thus in the moment of heat he shouted at her.

She literally had tears in her eyes. "How can he scold him like that? He is so rude" she thought, obviously he was not that loud or rude, it was her hormones which were making her feel more worse.

"Why are you shouting? Don't worry about me! I can take care of myself" she shot back.

"Oh crap! Did he just messed up with her anger hormones? Fuck me now!!!" he cursed himself.

How can he forget she was dealing with those unpredictable mood swings of her which sometimes made her too happy & sometimes made her too sad.

He moved towards her and hugging her from behind he said,
"You cant stop me from taking care of my baby & my baby loves his mom so technically I need to take care of you too" he said while she struggled in his arms.

"Ohh so you take care of me because your baby loves me!?" she asked him.
"Is that the only reason he takes care of her? That means he does it because of the baby?" she wondered angrily.

"Yes thats true" he replied teasing her, still not letting go off her.

"Leave me then!" she said while pulling out of his tight hold, and going into the washroom.

"I m sorry Annika, It was not to hurt you. I take care of you most importantly because I love you, you are my world, I cant even imagine living without you. I know what you want me to say,I will say it soon my love, I will bring back that khidkitod smile of you I promise" he said to himself while smiling at his cute wife's craziness.

•ANNIKA•
After dinner she came in the room, while setting her bed she looked at him from the corner of her eyes. He was pouring some oil kinda thing on a small bowl. She tried ignoring him though, she was angry from him. She lied down on the bed & closed her eyes. After some moments she felt something soft & wet smearing on her feets. She suddenly opened her eyes to see him massaging her swollen feets with his fingers.

"Shivay!! What are you doing? Leave it" she said getting up with a jerk.
She didnt liked the fact that he was touching her feets morever he himself was tired.

"Keep lying Annika! Let me do this, you will feel good" he said smilingly.

"But Shivay, there is no need to do this, I mean swelling is normal" she tried convincing him but he was not ready to listen.

"I dont think it is & even if it is I want to give you this massage so that.." he was about to say when she siad

"I feel good & when I will feel good, your baby will also feel good right?" she said flaring her nose.

"How intelligent the mumma to be is" he said again giving her that teasing smile.

She lied down again frustrated on his teasing smiles although she loved how he took care of her. Even if he didn't said it but she knew he cares for her not because of the baby only but also because he loves her but she was literally dying to listen it from him. The way he massaged her feets made her feel heavenly. His touch on her feets gave her shivers. The pleasure was unexplainable.

After the massage, he lied down next to her. Usually there used to be a little space between them on the bed due to the cushions but today Shivay kept the extra cushions under her feets. Now the mischievous daddy has something in mind.

She was lying peacefully with her back on his side. Suddenly she felt a pair of hands wrapping up her baby bump. She turned a little startled at his touch,

"Dont tell me you want to love your baby at this hour of night Shivay!!" she said amusingly.

"Why? Is there any time limit for loving my baby Annika?" he asked innocently.

"Oh god! Not again Shivay" she said. He was literally making her fool although she adored it when he loved the baby but today she was real angry.

"Shhh, my baby is saying something" with that he turned her straight & kept his ears on her bump as if listening to what the baby was saying.

"Hey Junior Oberoi! Wassup baby?" he asked lying in the same position while Annika did nothing but listening what he was saying.

"Well your dad is doing good but your mommy seems real angry today" he said looking at her & then keeping his head on her tummy. She just gave him an angry glare.

"Oh you think that would work?" he said making a curious face. The next moment he went up to her face & kissed her cheek.

She was startled at his action. From that night they made love, From the day that whole fiasco took place, this was the first time he kissed her cheek. She was just looking at him while he was lost in her eyes. His lips adoring a mischievous smile.

"What have you done right now?" she asked him touching her cheek where he kissed.

"I just did what your baby asked me to do" he said shrugging.

"What did the baby said?" she asked raising her eyebrows.

"He said just give a kiss to mumma, she will feel good" Shivay replied.

She didnt knew why but she couldn't resist her smile. The way he was doing those cute crazy actions to woo her actually touched her heart. He looked super adorable when he kept his head on her bump & tried having a convo with their baby. She loved everything this man does, he was a real charmer.

He was happy to see her smile. Finally after giving him all the possible kind of angry glares she was smiling. His heart finally felt at peace.

"See my baby is equally smart like me, he was right you did smiled" Shivay said making her cheeks go more red.

"Its my baby too for god's sake" she said throwing her hands in the air & lying down.

"Of course Annika" he replied while lying down next to her.

"Can I sleep if you are done? I need to sleep" she said covering herself with the blanket.

"Yes but I need to touch my baby. Comeon lets sleep" he said while keeping his hand on her tummy & closing his eyes.

Within seconds he slept & she could do nothing but just smile. This man was real crazy. She always tried to show him that she is not liking anything that he did, she tried showing him her fake anger, fake irritation but he never pulled back from caring for her. He always gave her back his sexy smile. She did it on purpose to test his patience, to test his care for her, to test his loyalty towards her & their baby and he was passing all her tests. This man was doing what he promised her, she was again falling in love with him, she was again ready to lose herself in his love. She looked at his hands which were placed on her bump, he was sleeping peacefully, some tears welled up her eyes, leaning forward she gave him a soft peck on his cheeks while his lips curved into a beautiful smile.
