The ninth month was running quite fast. Annika being a mother always felt emotional about the baby during her pregnancy but in her last month she saw a completely different side of Shivay where he got too emotional on petty issues, the curiosity, the impatience, the wait to meet the baby were the only emotions she saw in him.

He still chatted with the baby for hours keeping his hands on her belly. One thing was for sure! The baby connected with him more than he connected with Annika. It made her heart blossom with happiness as well as pride. She loved the father baby bond.

Everything was going on so well except the fact that Karan was losing on his life. Shivika always made sure that they keep Karan happy.

•SHIVIKA's ROOM•
It was a normal day,  Shivay was busy oiling Annika's swollen feets while she was having her favourite ice cream. Suddenly she kept her hands on her belly and started screaming

"Ahhh Shivay" she screamed making him worried.

"Annikaa! What happened? Are you okay! Oh god should I call the doctor? Speak Annika!!! Is the baby coming out?" Shivay bombarded her with numerous questions.

And the next moment he saw her laughing hard.
"What the wuck?? Why you laughing Annika?" Shivay asked in confusion.

"I.m..so..sorry Shivay" she said laughing.

"What do you mean?" he asked her looking into her eyes.

"I m alright Shivay, Nothing has happened. I was just kidding" she said hiding her giggle realising the seriousness in his eyes.

"Are you kidding me Annika? How can you do that? Is this some kind of joke? Do you even realise what I got through watching you like that? I can't believe you can make a joke of this situation even after knowing how worried I get for you and the baby" Shivay literally spoke with anger in his tone.

Annika felt bad. She knew she was wrong this time.
"Shi..Shivay listen to me" she said trying to convince.

"Let's not talk on this anymore" he said and went out of the room.

She knew she was wrong although her intentions were not to hurt him. She was just playing around. But it was her fault, even after knowing that Shivay is really emotional and vulnerable when it came to her and their baby, she hurted his emotions. She was not feeling good.

Shivay was now sitting in the living room. He knew he should not have shouted on Annika but he just couldn't control. He cannot take any risk when it came to his baby and Annika. Anyways these days he remained very scared about both of them. It was her last month and he was really worried for them. All he prayed and wished for was the healthy arrival of his baby and for the wellness of his life, his Annika. That certain joke literally shook him off in those 20 seconds of his life. He could not indulge in any joke when it came to Annika and baby.

Annika was really feeling sorry for her behaviour on the other hand Shivay already started missing her. Whatever be the case, he cannot live without her even for a second and even though he was hurt but he knew she can never intentionally do it to make him hurt. He decided to go back to her.

The moment Shivay reached the room, he saw Annika trembling with teary eyes, her hands were on her belly and she was schreaming his name

"Shi...vaayyyy" she shouted on top her voice.

For a second Shivay thought she was again making a fool of him and he was about to shout on her but the moment he saw her tears he realised the time has come.

"Annikkaaa" he ran towards her with full speed.

"Ahhhhh Shiivvaaayyy" she held his collar as tightly as she could. Her eyes were all red and her face wet with tears.

"Ann..Annikkaa what happened? Is it paining?" He asked with fear in his eyes.

"Ahh, Shivay....hospi...hospitalll" she managed to speak in pain.

Shivay knew it was time for them to go to the hospital. He was really scared. He scooped her in his arms while all she did was scream his name.
Listening to the screams, Mr. Oberoi and Karan also came out of their rooms. The servants were standing there looking at Shivay and Annika.

"Take out the dam carrr" Shivay shouted on top of his voice.

The driver went out and took out the car. Mr Oberoi assured Shivay that everything is gonna be fine. He asked him to take her to the hospital while he will be coming from another car. Karan gave them best wishes although he was also really worried.

The driver were trembling with fear due to Shivay's anger. He literally shouted hard on the driver to drive as fast as he could.

Annika was lying with her head on Shivay's lap. He was continuously caressing her forehead with his one hand while his other hand was holding her hand tightly.

"Nothing will happen to you and the baby Annika, please breath! You need to be strong jaan" he said with tears in his eyes.

She was just screaming his name with her hand on her belly. Her face was all wet with sweat and tears. Shivay could not see her life in this condition. He knew she is bearing a lot of pain. He could not help but cry at her condition and pray to god for their wellness.

She wiped his tears with her one hand and held his hands tightly. She could not see him crying. Although she was in pain, a lot of pain but she tried to act a bit normal. She wiped his tears and plastered a faint smile on her face saying "I am fine...fine Shivay. Don't cryyy"

Shivay was really guilty now. He cursed himself for shouting on her like that a few minutes ago.
"Annikaa! Please forgive me! I m sorry for shouting on you ..I was jus scared please sorry" he managed to speak with tearful eyes.

"No..I m..I m sorry Shi..Shivay. I was..." she tried to speak but her pain was not allowing her to do so. She was feeling really helpless. The pain was getting unbearable, she felt as if she would die.

"Ahhhh Shivayyy....my..my babyyy" she shouted again with immense pain in her voice.

"Drive fasterrrr dammittt" Shivay screamed while holding Annika tightly in his arms.

•HOSPITAL•
After few seconds the couple reached the hospital. Shivay ran towards the emergency with Annika in his arms.

"Doctorrrr.....where's the damn Doctorrr" he shouted while Annika cried.

He saw the doctor while the doctor knew what was the case. She had met them few times when they came for the regular checkup. She suddenly provided them with a stretcher and asked the nurse to prepare the operation theatre.

Shivay lied Annika down on the stretcher but they didn't left each other's hands.

"Everything will be fine Annika!" He said wiping away the beads of sweat on her head.

"Shi..vayyy pleas.. please don't leave me" Annik said holding his hands tightly.

"I m right here baby.. don't worry" Shivay replied.

They soon reached the operation theatre. The doctor asked Shivay to remain outside while she attends Annika but she was adamant on taking him Inside with her.

"Noooo!! Ahhhhh Shivayyyy, be with me please" she cried looking at him.

"Doctor please let me be with her, please" he asked the doctor with uncountable tears in his eyes.

"We can't do that Mr. Oberoi, this is not allowed" the doctor replied with helplessness.

"Please doctor, she needs me with her. This is our first time, please let me be with her." he requested her.

"Pleaseee..doctorrr" Annika managed to speak.

The doctor knew if she would not allow him, Annika might get herself in danger because the time was running fast.

"Okay Mr. Oberoi but please be patient while we attend her." She allowed him to come inside.

Shivay was so happy and so was Annika. They soon took her inside and the mission to finally welcome the baby started.

The doctor and nurses surrounded Annika. They arranged all the important machines, medicines and instruments that were needed. Annika were given some injections, the drip was attached on the upper side of her hands. She was changed into a hospital gown. The doctor asked the nurse to remove her ornaments, Shivay helped the nurse but when it came to the mangalsutra, Annika refused to remove it. Shivay tried to convince her but she said she won't. The doctors allowed her to wear.

It was time to start  delivery process. Shivay was continuously praying to god, he was just standing near her head holding her hands.

"You need to push Mrs. Oberoi, just be strong and push with full strength" the doctor said to Annika while carefully pressing her belly.

"Ahhhh" Annika cried while pushing with all her strength. Shivay could do nothing but just caress her face and hold her hands tightly.

"Come on jaan, you can do it, just some more strength" Shivay said trying to motivate her.

Annika was just feeling irritated and fatigued. The pain in her vaginal area was taking her breath away. She felt loss of breath at times, sometimes she felt hot sometimes she felt cold. She was just panting and all she did was taking heavy breaths.

The doctors were busy motivating her to push. The nurses held her legs tightly, not allowing her to move. A nurse held her waist tightly while the main doctor kept pressing her belly.

She was just looking at Shivay, the pain was making her cry, she was losing her consciousness.

"Oh god, please don't sleep Mrs. Oberoi! Nurse give her the injection, she can't sleep it's harmful for the baby" the doctor said in worry.

Shivay was now more tensed. He can't let Annika sleep. He was scared, he was worried. He softly patted her cheeks and said

"Annikaa! Baby please don't sleep. Try to open your eyes. See your Shivay is here, look at me" he said trying to keep her awake.

But she was not able to keep her eyes open. The eyes were getting heavy and it was as if she was just loosing herself. The injection was showing no improvement. Shivay was able to see the tensed environment of the room. He didn't know how to keep her awake.

"Mrs. Oberoi it is just for sometime, please don't sleep. The baby is just about to come. Please push harder" the doctor tried to explain it to her but no use.

Her cries were now getting weak, her hold on Shivay's hand were getting firm. He knew he needs to do something or else he is gonna lose his baby or his wife.

And the next moment Shivay smashed his lips on her trembling ones. He kissed her hard, entering his tongue into her mouth. He kept doing so until he felt her responding to the kiss. Initially she didn't felt it, she was just numb but gradually she felt his warm lips on her. She started responding back, with equal passion. The pain, the fear, the helplessness, the fatigue, Shivay was able to feel every emotion of his wife. He kept kissing her until she felt short of oxygen. He knew she is back to life now. He parted his lips from hers and looked into her teary eyes.

"Annika please don't sleep, try to push hard jaan. For one last time, just do it for our baby. It's about our little bundle of joy. It's about me and you. Try to do it, you can do it my love. I know my Annika is strong, I love you" he said looking into her eyes and kissing her forehead.

It was as if she got her strength back, it was as if she was been charged with some super natural energy. She felt a sense of a new charismatic force and with the help of that she pushed harder this time. She just needed her Shivay with her, and his words gave her enough motivation. She shouted harder while pushing with multiple force for sometime and suddenly,

"Shiivaaaaayyyyyy" she exploded with tearful eyes pushing with all her energy and the room got filled with loud innocent cries of a baby.

Annika heard the cries but soon the cries vanished as she collapsed on the other hand Shivay felt himself in uncountable tears listening to the welcoming cries of the baby although his heart shrank looking at his wife who fainted.

"Annikkkkaaaa" he shouted in fear feeling her hold loosened and looking at her fatigued face with eyes closed.
