Well days kept on passing by, the visit to the doctor became more frequent. I was in the 7th month of my pregnancy and the doctor had told me that I might have an premature delivery. Why? Well.. Surprise on the DAY! She said within the next month I should be expecting the DAY to come. My tummy bulged up a lot more than it does in any usual pregnancy. But well, I knew why.
Things were going great and smooth. Parth had been getting job offers because his grades in his finals were bang on! But he kept declining them. He said he wanted to be with me every minute of the pregnancy phase. Well, he was Parth Samthaan the famous actor not a famous architect yet.. And he didn't understand that people won't be waiting for him to come and accept the offer but he seemed to have blocked his brain entirely! I couldn't persuade him into this, I tried my level best though. I had just two places to be at, either at home or the hospital. I had been getting bored leading a monotonous life like that. Well as we were nearing the DAY, my mood swings had taken full control of me. I had weird urges, temptations, sometimes for food and the other times for him. Though he had managed well in keeping his hands off me and my bulging out tummy helped us maintain the distance too to some extent but we still cheated and took some time out for tasting each others lips daily. There one day when I suddenly had this craving...

"Parth..?" I shook him to wake him up from his deep sleep. "Parth..??" I tried again when my first attempt failed. "PARTH!" this time my voice was raised and I literally moved him with all the force in me.

"Kya.. Kya hua? Are you okay? Is the baby okay? Is the DAY here?" he jerked up and sat straight onto the bed, asking me everything without breathing even once in between.

"Haan vo... I'm not able to sleep." I said still lying on the bed calmly, watching him freak out. His scared expression changed into an annoyed one.

"Niti yaaar! You scared me! Are you crazy!?" He shouted wiping off the sweat that had formulated over his forehead because of the mini heart-attack I gave him.

"Sorrryyy" I said in a child-like manner. He lay down again on the bed and I placed my head over her chest.

"Parthh.." I called him again while my fingers did their dance over his T-shirt near the chest region.

"Hmm..?" He said.

"I want to eat something.." I said in a light tone.

"What? At this hour? Time dekho..." he reached for the phone kept on the side table and checked the time.. "Its 1.12 in the night.." he said looking at me.

"Haan toh main kya karoon tumhara baby tumpe gaya hai.. He's hungry na.." I said looked up at him in the most cute way that I could.

"Kya khaana hai?" He asked sitting up straight, his back resting on the wall.

"Supriseee meee?" I said again in a child-like manner placing my head into his lap and looking back at him.

"Abhi?" he said looking all tired.

"Haan abhi! Chocolate khaana hai.." I demanded.

"We don't have...."

"We do! Fridge mein hai.. Jao lekar aao!" I said pointing at the door. I was amazed myself at how kiddish I could behave, but nothing was in my control. I did what the hormones and my brain made me do.

"Okay, fine." he sulked as he slipped out of the bed and switched on the lights and went outside the room. Within no time he was back again with a chocolate bar in his hands. "Lo,chocolate." He handed me the bar of chocolate and again placed himself onto the bed.

I unwrapped the chocolate as it was some treasure I had been searching for long.. Or like it was the last bar of chocolate in the whole wide world. He watched me behave like a five year old and fight with the wrapper to tear it up and a wide smile arose on his lips.

"What?" I said looking at him while I sucked in the chocolate. It felt like heaven when the cold chocolate piece melted inside my mouth. I played with the piece of chocolate inside my mouth with my tongue enjoying the rich creamy and delightful taste of it.

"Look at you" he laughed.

My hands were covered with chocolate all over, there was some on my face too. I was in a complete sticky mess but I didn't bother about that because I was busy stuffing the chocolate inside my mouth. I ate half of the small bar he had given me and offered the rest to him. He smiled again letting his teeth show this time and took the chocolate bar from my hands and kept it on the side table. I pulled my hand away from him to lick the chocolate from my fingers but he didn't leave it. Instead, he licked the melted chocolate away from my fingers. After he was done cleaning my fingers he moved up to my mouth. I had chocolate spread all over my mouth and he took my lips in to clean the remaining chocolate off them. He enjoyed the taste of the chocolate.. or maybe my lips to his heart's content. I wrapped my arms around his neck not letting my fingers touch him and pulled him in for a longer kiss. He wanted to pull me close and his hands went at the back of my waist but just then my ever bugled out belly became a barrier. He broke the kiss and let my lips out of his mouth and looked at me in disappointment. He pouted making a grumpy expression.

"Whaaat?" I laughed at his cute expressions.

"I want more of this chocolate" he said looking at my lips.

"Accha? But looks like the baby doesn't want you to do that, he's not liking it maybe.." I said trying to control my 32 white teeth from flashing out of my mouth while I was teasing him.

"Oh please haan, my princess understands my love for you.. She doesn't mind me kissing her mommy.." He said moving away and handing me a wet tissue to wipe the rest of the chocolate away.

"Your princess does but maybe my champ doesn't like that, you know he's protective of me.." I said throwing away the tissue and laying myself down on the bed.

"Whatever, there is no champ in there, I know and you'll see soon!" He said as he too lay on his back switching off the lights.

"Parth yaar jaldi soch na kaaiseee?"

Parth was sitting in the hall with his best friend discussing an important topic while I was sleeping inside our room.

"I don't know yaar, I mean I bought this a month ago and abhi tak bhi I haven't found a perfect time to give it to her..." he looked at the beautiful diamond ring he had in his hands. He looked at it from every angle that he could admiring the beauty he had bought for me.

"Kab aayega tera Perfect time!? The doctor has given her a date in the week for the delivery, tu bata baccha paida hone ke bad propose karegaaa?" Akanksha cribbed over her friend's stupidity. "What..? Are you still not sure about her?"

"No not that.." he said.

"Are you getting cold feet about this?" she asked.

"No no !"

"You love her right?"

"Of course I do! Does that need a proof still?" He said sounding irritating by her rapid fire.

"Toh problem kya hai!? Go and get down on one knee and surrender yourself to her, forever! Kabse bechari is waiting.." she said understanding what I was going through.

"Haan I will.." he said getting lost in his thoughts.

----

Another week had passed and he still hadn't yet proposed. Ugh! Doesn't he understand!?
The date for the delivery that the doctor had estimated was two days away. It was around midnight when we were both sleeping, at least he was. I was busy tossing and turning on the bed because I couldn't find a comfortable posture to sleep. I got up from the bed and started walking around the room, getting tired of my failed attempts to sleep. I was strolling to and fro in the room, looking at Parth sleep peacefully.. How can he sleep peacefully! He hasn't yet proposed me for marriage, I might deliver his baby anytime now and he still can sleep calmly!? My brain was talking to me when suddenly a terrible pain arose in my abdominal region.

"Aaaaaahhh!" I cried loud holding my belly with both my hands. "Paaaarrthh!!" I managed to reach at his side of the bed and pushed him hard trying to wake him up.
"Parthh utho! Utho!" I shook him insanely while trying not to scream but the pain was mad!

"What happened???? Kya hua????" He suddenly sprang up from his sleep and looked at me going mad with pain.

"Parth.... I guess... I guess... I think....No.. I know... My water broke!" I said panting heavily and taking in and leaving out short breaths.

"Whaat!? Wait.. How? Abhi time hai.. The date.. Its not here..!" He said freaking out seeing me like that.

"Parthhhh! Shut up! Call the doctor! Take me to the hospital!" I shrieked in pain. It was unbearable. I couldn't take it anymore.. The pain was increasing with every passing second. He hurriedly got up from the bed and took his wallet and rushed outside the room and called for his mother and then made a call to my doctor.

"Its coming! The baby is coming, we are coming..." He talked for a few second more to the doctor and I was soon rushed down into the car and to the hospital.

The pain kept on increasing and I kept on screaming at the top of my voice. I felt like I would die, the pain was so bad. Tears rained down my eyes as I lay on his mother's lap at the back seat of the car, crying in pain while he drove off to the hospital.

On reaching the hospital I was immediately rushed in, I was made to sit on a wheelchair and carried further inside. He stopped at the reception to fill in some required details.

"Paaaaaaarth!! Ugh!!" I screamed in pain.

All the pair of eyes that were in that hospital lobby looked at me but I was bothered about none. I was in pain, terrible, terrible pain! Soon the doctor arrived and she hurried me into the operation theater. I held Parth's hand pressing it tight. My nails dug into his hands but he didn't utter a word. The doctor readied everything for the delivery and I was made to lie down on the bed in the operation theater. Parth came in with me while his mother waited outside. It was all happening so fast, I couldn't collect much of the happenings in because I was losing it with every contraction inside me.

"Aaaaaah!" I screamed loud as the contractions inside me got faster and the pain increased further.

"Niti, Niti.. Breath in breath out! Relax! Just.. It'll be over soon.. Mr. Samthaan, don't let her fall sleep.." said the doctor to Parth who was standing there like idiots watching me scream and shout! He didn't respond to her and kept staring at me.

"Mr Samthaan!? You're in here for a reason, no time to get lost, help your wife there!" ordered the doctor. I was not his wife yet but for the world, yeah.. I was.

He was brought back to his senses and followed the orders. He came towards me and held my hand in his, "Niti.. Breath.. Okay? Breath.." He kept on repeating that like fools. Like, what the hell do you think am I doing here!? But yeah, he was right.. I needed to breath but all I could do was scream because of the unbearable pain inside me. I tried relaxing but no way could I do that! The life inside me was more than excited to come out and it was hurting like hell! I cried and I was sweating like a pig.

"Okay, we are ready.. Now all you have to do is push, don't stop... Just push!" she looked at me and said, "Don't let her sleep, just tell her to push.." she said looking at Parth and then started with her work.

Well it was all my work even here! I had to like push and push to let them out..

"Niti... Push! Harder" Parth had my hand in his hand and the other one he put on my forehead caressing it every now and then. I screamed in pain as I tried pushing the baby harder, I was getting drained of energy, I was getting tired in this procedure. I was sweating a lot and crying a lot and screaming a lot! I was losing my senses.. I suddenly stopped cooperating with the doctor.

"Mr Samthaan, she's falling asleep, don't let her lose her consciousness... Keep talking to her!" said the doctor. "Push Niti, a little harder.." she said as she checked in for the head.

"Niti.. Niti.. Don't sleep! Keep talking! Push harder! Niti.. Pleasee.." he kept on motivating me to stay awake, "Niti for the baby, please.. Okay okay it'll be a boy! Okay? Now please don't sleep!" He was trying not to freak out and trying to help me but he was freaking out, and he wasn't helping! Because I felt so irritated by his voice at that moment! The voice I loved the most became the most irritating one for me. "Niti! Pushh!" he literally shouted again. He kept talking random stuff, nonsense at that moment! Like.. "We'll get our Princess a pink painted room with toys", or like.. "I think I should accept the job offer now, you were right.." And then again the usual.. "Push Niti! Push!!" AAAGHHH!

"PARTH! SHUT UP! WHAT DO YOU THINK I'M DOING!? PLAYING FOOTBALL HERE!? Just... Aaaooouch!" I screamed again in pain.

"Just a little more, Niti you can do it!" said the doctor as she looked for the baby's crown inbetween my legs.

"Okay, okay... Niti come on! You can do this! Yes! She said just a little more.. Stay with me.. Push!" No matter what I said he kept on annoying me! Though that was needed for me to stay awake but in that moment, I was hating it! I shrieked again as the pain arose once more.

"Just.. Almost there.. A little more Niti..! Mr. Samthaan just keep her going!" said the doctor to the absolutely useless douchebag there. Though he was trying his level best, I wasn't in a state to appreciate any of his efforts. I was in pain and I could take nothing in my brain. All I could feel was pain and irritation and sweat all over my body!

"Okay.. Okay.. Marry me?"
