Sanskaar and Swara are very happy because of the advent of the new life into their lives... Sanskaar is trying his best to fulfill all the wishes and desires of his loving wife and now it has been three months...

One night... After three months...

Sanskaar is sleeping peacefully as he is very tired after returning from his office... he is in a deep sleep when he wakes up all of a sudden when someone shakes him... Sanskaar opens his eyes and switches on the light...

Sanskaar: (half sleepy) Swara...!! (Swara is standing there with a pout face) What happened...?? Do you need anything...?? (Swara nods her head) What...??
Swara: I want to see a movie...!!
Sanskaar: Now...?? (Swara nods her head again) Oh God..!! Swara you sleep now... We will go to see the movie tomorrow...!!
Swara: No naa Sanskaar... I want to see it today...!!
Sanskaar: Swara... Baby...!! Pakka... Promise... I will take you to a big multiplex tomorrow... and you can see as much movies as you want...!! But please... let's sleep now...!!
Swara: (looking at her baby bump) See baby... Your papa is again lying to us...!! We know naa... that tomorrow he will go to office and will not take us to see the movie...!! Leave  it...!! We will not talk to him...!! So rude of you Baby ke Papa...!!

She gets up from the bed and sits on the couch with a pout face and crossing her arms across her chest... Sanskaar takes a deep breath and gets up from the bed and takes out some movie CDs from the drawer...

Sanskaar: (gives the CDs to Swara) Here... tell me which one do you want to see...!! (and he takes the place beside her on the couch)...
Swara: Really...!! (she takes the CDs and starts seeing them... after few moments she gives a CD to Sanskaar) This one...!! I want to see this movie...!!
Sanskaar: (looks at the CD in utter disbelief) Seriously Swara...!! Tom and Jerry...!! You want to see this movie... at 1:00 am at night...!!
Swara: (grins widely and nods her head) Yup...!! Baby and Baby's Mumma... we both want to see this movie...!! Papa ko koi problem hai...??
Sanskaar: How dare he to have a problem when he knows that  you both want to see this movie only...?? But from where did you get this CD...?? As far as I remember I never bought this...!!
Swara: (smiles sheepishly) Laksh bought me this a few days back...!!
Sanskaar: (murmurs under his breath) Lucky ke bachche...!! Just wait when your time will come I'll make sure to give tons of Chota Bheem CDs to Ragini...!!
Swara: Haan Sanskaar... Have you said anything...??
Sanskaar: Haan... nahin... Come let's see the movie...!!

He takes the CD and plays the movie... Both of them sit at the bed with Swara's head on Sanskaar's shoulder and Sanskaar wraps his arms across her waist caressing her skin slowly...!!

------------------------.

A month later... All the members of Maheshwari family are engaged in some work or the other when they hear a knock at the door... The servant opens the door... Sudarshan Baba and Ganga Maa enter along with Bachcha Party Gang...!!

BPG: Sanskaar Bhaiya...!!
Swara: (coming down from the stairs) Haww... Look at them... All these years I was the one who took care of them but all they remember is their Sanskaar bhaiya...!! Not fair...!!
Sanskaar: (a bit concerned) Swara how many times have I told you not to climb stairs this often... Just stay at one place..!! (looks at BPG) Kyun Bachcha Party...??
Aarvi: That's right Swara di... and you were with us for entire two years but Sanskaar bhaiya was with us for only three months so we miss him more...!!
Swara: Haan... haan... I got it... Actually I think you should rename your gang from BPG to SKM...!!
BPG: SKM...??
Swara: (smiles) Haan... SANSKAAR KE MINIONS...!!
Sanskaar: Not bad Mrs. Maheshwari...!!
Swara: What not bad...?? At least I deserve a hug naa...!!

She smiles and BPG run to hug her...

Aahna: (patting Swara's belly) How are you baby...?? Come soon...!!
Rimjhim: We all are waiting for you...!!

Swara smiles at their cute and loving gesture...

Ragini: (coming out of the kitchen) Okay guys... Who's up for a pizza...??
BPG: Me...!! Me...!! Me...!!

All of them run towards Ragini and then all have the pizza prepared by her... SB and GM come to Swara...

GM: How are you beta..??
Swara: (smiles) I'm fine Maa... In fact, more than I ever was...!!
SB: We are really sorry beta as we couldn't come before... even when we know that you are going to have the biggest happiness of your life...!!
Swara: Please baba... don't say sorry...!! And I already have the biggest happiness of my life... (looks at Sanskaar who is enjoying his pizza party with BPG) and this... (keeps her palm at her belly) is just going to double the happiness...!!
GM: We are so happy for you beta... Finally you have something you deserve...!!
Swara: I have everything more than I deserve Maa... and I can't tell you how happy I am after having this baby... OUR BABY... The symbol of our love...!!

She smiles and looks at Sanskaar... SB and GM smile looking at how happy their daughter is...!!

--------------------------.

Later that evening... BPG are talking amongst themselves when Laksh and Ragini come there...

Laksh: Hii guys... What's happening...??
Golu: Shhh....!! We are discussing...!!
Ragini: What are you discussing...??
Nanhe: Something very important... Top secret...!!
Laksh: Top secret...!!
Aahna: Oh God...!! We are discussing the names for the baby...!!
Rimjhim: But now we are stuck...!!
Ragini: Why what happened...??
Aarvi: Whether the baby will be a boy or a girl...??
Laksh: How can we say now...?? There are still five months left for that...
Aahna: Wahi toh dikkat hai...!! We are saying that the baby will be a girl... but they (points towards Nanhe and Golu) are saying that the baby will be a boy...!!
Ragini: But dikkat kya hai...??
Rimjhim: Offo... these elders don't understand a single thing...!! If the baby will be a girl then she will be in our team...
Golu: And if he will be a boy then he will be in our team...!!
Laksh: Yeh toh sach mein dikkat ki baat hai... but don't worry as you won't be facing this problem in the future...!!
BPG: How...??
Laksh: (smiles) Looking at how talented I am... I'm pretty sure that I will be having twins sooner or later... and my sixth sense is saying that I'll have a boy and a girl...!!

No sooner he says this, he receives a heavy blow at the back of his head... Laksh groans and turns around holding his head... and finds Ragini staring at him angrily...

Ragini: Kuch bhi haan...!! Just think before talking Mr. Laksh Maheshwari...!! They are still kids...!!
Laksh: What...!! (thinks something) Haah... But now you can't give me that pretty famous threat of yours...!!
Ragini: Which threat...??
Laksh: That you won't marry me...!!
Ragini: Really... you think so...!! But I think I have a better one now...!!
Laksh: (shocked) What...??
Ragini: (angrily) Don't you dare come near me...!!
Laksh: Arey... But...

Before he could complete Ragini walks away stomping her feet...

BPG: (laughs looking at Laksh) Laksh Bhaiya... aapki toh gayi...!!
Laksh: Yaa guys... thanks for your encouraging words...!!

BPG start laughing loudly and Laksh runs after Ragini to convince her...!!

----------------------------.

TWO MONTHS LATER... Swara is six moths pregnant now... and her moos swings are about to reach at the optimum level...

Swara: Sanskaar...!!
Sanskaar: (working with files scattered all around him and laptop resting on his lap) Hmm...
Swara: How much do you love me...??
Sanskaar: (looking at his file) I love you a lot baby...!!
Swara: Dekha... dekha... Now he started ignoring me...!!
Sanskaar: (closes his file) When did I ignore you...??
Swara: I asked how much you me... ME... Can you hear that... ME...!! And what did you said... I love you a lot baby...!!
Sanskaar: Haan... I called you Baby...!!
Swara: But you used to call me Shona naa...!!
Sanskaar: (hits his forehead with his file several times) Okay... Sorry my mistake...!! I love you a lot Shona...!!
Swara: Really...!! (Sanskaar nods his head) Then go and make some gol gappe for me...!!
Sanskaar: What...?? Me...??
Swara: Haan... aur nahin toh kya...!! After all you are the main reason behind this... (points towards her baby bump which is more prominent than before) So you have to bear the consequences...!!
Sanskaar: But I don't know how to make gol gappe...!!
Swara: Sanskaar...!! Do you have a dabba phone...!!
Sanskaar: Excuse me... How can you call my IPhone 6 a dabba phone...??
Swara: Then make some use of your not so dabba IPhone 6 and the advance technology we have now a days...!! Search the internet and make the gol gappe...!!
Sanskaar: But...
Swara: No ifs and buts as I want to have it only made by you... Otherwise I won't eat anything...!! See baby... papa doesn't care if your mumma is hungry... He doesn't love her...!!
Sanskaar: Uff Swara... now stop your emotional blackmail...!! Okay fine I'm going...!!

Swara smiles as if a three year old kid gets his desired candy... and Sanskar goes to the kitchen...!!

He comes back after half-an-hour with a tray in his hand...

Sanskaar: Here you go mam... Your special gol gappe... Made by the famous chef...
Swara: (cuts in between) Mr. Cuteshwari...!!
Sanskaar: Yup right... (after a few moments) wait what did you call me...!! Look Swara... I'm not cute... okay...!!
Swara: Nah... that's what you are... Mr. Cuteshwari... Aaauch...!!
Sanskaar: (worried) What happened Swara...?? Are you all right...??
Swara: (teary eyes) I felt him... I felt our baby Sanskaar... He kicked... Oh My god... he kicked for the first time...!!
Sanskaar: (super happy) Seriously... (he sits beside Swara and keeps his palm on her belly expecting the baby to kick again... but he gets sad on not feeling anything) I can't feel it Swara...!!
Swara: Our baby is hearing us Sanskaar... Maybe he kicked after listening to something...!!
Sanskaar: (still keeping his hand on her belly) Wait... wait... wait... then let us recall whatever we said...!! Hmm... Gol gappe... (no response) Swara... (no response) Sanskaar... (no response)...

Sanskaar gets sad and is about to withdraw his hand back when Swara recalls something... She holds Sanskaar's hand on her belly...

Swara: (smiles) Mr. Cuteshwari...!!

And the baby kicks...!!

Sanskaar: Oh my God...!!
Swara: Looks like the baby likes the new name for his papa... Hain naa baby...!!
Sanskaar: (excited) Shall I try once...?? (Swara nods her head and Sanskaar smiles) Mr. Cuteshwari...!!

The baby kicks again...

Sanskaar: (teary eyes) Looks like I like this name now more than any other name...!!

He gives a light yet passionate kiss on Swara's lips... and hugs her... Swara reciprocates him and hugs him even more tightly...

----------------------------.

Two months later... It's almost late afternoon and Swara is sleeping in her room, when all of a sudden Sanskaar wakes her up...

Sanskaar: Swara... Swara... Wake up...!!
Swara:  Ughh... What is it Sanskaar...??
Sanskaar: Get up... I need to show you something...!!
Swara: (gets up) What Sanskaar... Don't you think you have started behaving really weird since last two months... I'm the one who is pregnant but it's you who has started getting mood swings since the time you felt the baby kick...
Sanskaar: (rolls his eyes) Okay... okay... I get it... Now get up...!!

Sanskaar takes Swara to a room next to their room... Before opening the door...

Sanskaar: Swara close your eyes...!!
Swara: What... why...??
Sanskaar: First close your eyes...
Swara: Uff... You really need a doctor...!!
Sanskaar: Haan... haan... Okay... but first close your eyes...!!

Swara closes her eyes and Sanskaar takes her inside... He leans closer to her and wraps his arms around her belly...

Sanskaar: (whispers in her ear) Now open your eyes...!!

Swara opens her eyes and gets mesmerized seeing the room... The entire room is painted of the seven colors of the rainbow... A cute little bed rests in the middle of the room with a bed-sheet of various cartoon characters and the entire bed is full of various stuff toys... In one corner of the room lies a small blue color table along with a white colored chair... The table has books of all various cartoon series beautifully stacked up... On the end of the room lies a yellow colored bean bag... The walls of the entire room are beautifully painted... The wall next to the bed is designed with beautiful alpana patterns of baby pink and white... The other wall has a huge painting of Mickey and Minnie mouse whereas the other one has the painting of Donald Duck...

Sanskaar: (slowly) You like it...!!
Swara: (overwhelmed) I... I... can't tell you Sanskaar how much I love it...!!
Sanskaar: Will our baby like it...??
Swara: Why don't you ask him yourself...??

Sanskaar stands in front of Swara and leans towards her belly...

Sanskaar: Hii Baby... do you like this...?? Come soon... I can't wait to feel you in my arms...!!

He kisses on Swara's belly and she gives him a smile caressing his hairs...

--------------------------.

After two weeks... Swara is sitting in her room when she starts feeling restless... She calls for Sanskaar but he is not there...

Swara: Looks like he is in papa's room... (thinks something) Why am I feeling this way...?? Maybe some fresh air can lighten me up...

Thinking this she decides to go downstairs... She starts climbing the stairs when she starts feeling dizzy and in a flash of moment her leg slips on the edge of the stairs...

Swara: (screams) Sanskaarrr..!!

And she falls down the stairs... On hearing her scream everyone rushes towards her... The next moment Sanskaar holds her in his arms near the last stair...

Swara: Aaahhh... Sanskaar...!!
Sanskaar: Shhh... Swara....!! Nothing will happen... Everything will be fine...!! Someone call the doctor damn it...!!
Swara: Sanskaar... (holds his t-shirt tightly) Our baby...!! Our baby...!!
Laksh: Bhai... this won't do let's take her to the hospital...!!

Sanskaar carries Swara in his arms and takes her to the hospital...

AT THE HOSPITAL... The doctors are examining Swara in the emergency room and Sanskaar keeps pacing around in anticipation... After few minutes the doctor comes out...

Sanskaar: What happened doctor...?? Is she fine...??
Doctor: I'm afraid Mr. Maheshwari...!! We have to do a pre-mature delivery...!! That's the only way... But...
Sanskaar: (worried) But... What but...
Doctor: I'm sorry to say this... But we can save only one of them... Saving both of them is not in our hands now... Only a miracle can do so...!! So we want you to decide... whom do you want to save... Your wife or your child...!!

Sanskaar sits on the nearby bench with a thump... After few moments of complete silence with few sobbing sounds from the ladies Sanskaar manages to speak...

Sanskaar: (hangs his head down and closes his eyes tightly) My WIFE... (doctor looks at him) Save my wife doctor...!!

Doctor nods her head and starts the operation... After a complete time duration of two hours... the two hours which appear like two years... no entire two lives for Sanskaar... the doctor comes out...

Sanskaar looks at her and she says something... Sanskaar takes a deep breath and hold his head in between his palms... Laksh keeps his hand on Sanskaar's shoulder caressing and patting it in between...

Episode ends...!!
