3 years later,

Running behind little a child is the biggest challenge of any parent. Shaking her head and glancing at the bed where her husband without any worry slept like nothing happened mattered to him expect his sleep. 

Muttering some curses she averts her gaze and looks at her son who gave cheeky smile and gigging out tried rushing out of room but before that she quickly sprinted towards him and grabbed him.

He starts to giggle loud whereas Nandini holding him tightly walks to washroom and placed him down. She starts scolding him while his clothes out.

Nandini : why do you always trouble me Vivaan? Mumma is helping you get ready but look at you running away and not want to shower. Why?

Vivaan Malthora turned two years last month and has become very naughty and mischievous boy troubling Nandini all the time.

Nandini and Manik were blessed with a baby boy Vivaan who they loved till entirety and their world revolves around him.

Vivaan looks at his mother and muttering small sorry holding his ears stood still letting Nandini take off his clothes. Once she had taken his clothes off she helps him taking shower and getting drenched with water as Vivaan didn't stop his mischief there.

Pulling him out of the shower and wrapping a towel around his body she ruffles his wet hair and took his in her arms and walks out of the washroom.

Putting him down she asked him to stand there while she went to get clothes but Vivaan smilingly naughty looks towards bed where his father was sleeping. He giggles and rushed there.

He climbed the bed and sitting on Manik's back starts jumping on him making Manik groan in sleep while opening his eyes and cursing under his breath as his sleep was disturbed.

He held Vivaan's hand and pulls him beside and starts ticking to which Vivaan starts laughing heart. Manik rubs his face into Vivian's stomach.

Manik : my naughty boy is getting naughty with his papa. I see it now. Why are you letting me sleep?

Nandini : why should he let you sleep mani? It's good  that he also woke you up from sleep.

Nandini's voice reached to his ears and Manik's gazed turns to his wife who walks with Vivaan's clothes and stood beside bed glaring at him.

He smirks looking at his wife who was wet and could guess his son also didn't leave his wife today from not troubling her. He knows his son too well.

Nandini : yesterday you didn't get wet when you gave him bath but whenever is my turn I always get drenched. What are you both father and son planning against me. Share it with me.

Manik : love. What will we plan against you? I have nothing to with this. I don't why he always does it. Believe me. I don't know about this.

She rolls her eyes and passing him a glare she pulls Vivaan from bed and starts making him dressed.

Manik laid back on his stomach and tried to sleep but how can he sleep when people loves disturbing his sleep. His phone rang. He picks his phone and looks at the caller id and sighs seeing Cabir calling him. Answering the call he spoke to cabir.

Ending the call he thought to get ready as there is no point of going back to sleep and it also time for Pooja. He didn't get scolding from his mother.

He looks at his wife who now get Vivaan ready and asked him to go downstairs. Once Vivaan was out of the sight Manik gets down bed and back hugs her resting his chin on her shoulder.

Manik : good morning love and you too my little princess. How is my wife and princess doing.

Nandini smiles and leans backwards and placed her hand on her stomach and gently caressed it.

Nandini : good morning mani. Your wife and little princess is doing great but exhausted by running.

He chuckles and kissed her head and distancing himself turns her around and lowering himself down caressed her stomach then placed a kiss over it.

Manik : I know my little princess is tired so is my gorgeous wife because of my son made them run. I will scold him and tell him not do it again.

She chuckles and looks at her stomach and felt smile growing on her face and looks at Manik the moment he found about her pregnancy he wished to have little baby girl this time and couldn't stop manifesting it. Even she wished to have baby girl.

Manik : I am going to take shower. Do you want to join me love? Please don't say no now.

Nodding her head she follows him to washroom who smiles and holding her hand took her to washroom.

Holding his newborn baby Neil sat down on the couch and starts cooing who woken up and starts crying just after falling asleep in few minutes back.

He stood up and starts walking back to forth holding his daughter closer to his chest and smiles at last when she finally stops crying falling back to sleep.

He carefully walks to bed and placed her down on bed beside his wife who was sleeping after having sleepless night because their daughter stop crying.

Joining them slips the duvet over them and kissing their forehead closed his eyes again but it wasn't a long enough before she starts crying breaking Avni's sleep too who woke up and rubs her eyes.

Her gazed immediately fell on her daughter. Not wasting much time she sat up and took her into her arms and starts cooing her.

Neil : I am sorry baby. I know you hadn't slept at all. I am not understanding why is she crying so much. You should go back to sleep. I will handle it.

Avni: it's alright Neil. I think she's hungry. Let me feed her. I don't think any of us will be sleeping because it's already morning, we have to get ready too. Today is our daughter name ceremony.

Neil : oh yes! How did I forget it? You feed her while I go and freshen up after that you can.

She looks at him and nodding her head she sat up comfortable and lifting her blouse up starts feeding her daughter who starts sucking it very fast.

He chuckles seeing his daughter and shaking his head climbs down the bed and walks to washroom whereas Avni sat there feeding her daughter while remembering how beautiful years have passed since they got married and now have a daughter.

Her heart flutters up with happiness and joy every moment she looks at her daughter who looks exactly copy of her husband. Her eyes glisten with tears as she recalled the day her daughter was born and when Neil held her in his arms she cried.

Holding her back onto her tears she glanced down and looks at her daughter who stopped crying and sucking on her breast as she looked very hungry.

Coming out of the washroom with a towel around his waist and ruffling his wet hair his gazed fell towards bed where his wife and daughter were.

Shaking his head and smiling at them moves to closets and pulling out his attire for today walks bed and calls Avni's name out who looks at him.

Neil : baby. Once she finished then I will take care of her while you go and get ready. I will get my princess ready today for her name ceremony.

Avni: Neil you don't have to bother yourself. I can do it myself. She can get cranky while getting changed. I don't mind it doing it Neil.

Neil : neither I do baby. I don't have any problem getting my princess ready. I am sure I can handle her cranky side of hers. You and get ready.

Hesitating a little she nodded her head not because she didn't trust Neil because she was worried for Neil as she knows how her daughter is.

Kissing her cheek she gently placed her on bed and looking at Neil with a smile went yo washroom whereas Neil quickly got dressed and picks his daughter up on his arms and walks to her cot.

He placed her in the cot and looks at her who kept staring him. He smiles and bending down kissed her cheek before walking to closet and taking her diapers, wipes and baby clothes.

He starts changing her diaper while taking to her making her stare at him more. Once he was done he enters inside the washroom and washed his hands and glances looking at wife who was done showering. He winks at her before walking out.

Wrapping bathrobe she walks out of the washroom and looks at Neil who was sitting on bed with their daughter and playing with her.

Shaking her head she moves to closet and taking the attire out and changing into her clothes she walks out and heads inside the room and found Neil scrolling through his phone while their daughter was faster asleep.

Keeping his phone side he climbs the bed and walks towards her. Sliding his arms around her waist he pills her closer and rest his head on her shoulder and nuzzled her face making her smile.

Neil : baby. I ever told you how beautiful you look. You look so stunning. I love you so much.

Avni: you have always told me Neil. I love you too. Please let me get ready otherwise we be will be late. Everyone must be waiting for us.

Neil didn't say anything but also didn't moved and staying in the same position helped her to get ready. Once she was ready she took her vermilion box and tilts her head a little and looks at him.

Making the distance he took the pinch of vermillion between his fingers and cupping her face filled her hairline and smiles kissing her head.
