Anika is sitting at the poolside with Sahil beside her. Shivay saw them talking, from the room. He slowly came to them and sat next to Sahil.

"What's going on?" He asked to get their attention. They looked at shivay and anika gave him a mischievous smile. He also reciprocated the smile with confusion.

"What is it kittu?" Shivay asked without blinking his eyes

"What shivay?" She is still giving the mischievous smile.

"What mischief is going inyour head?" He asked looking at the duo one by one frequently. Sahil shrugged his shoulders.

"Nothing is going in my head. You are over thinking shiv." She said as she made Sahil get up and sat close to shivay. Shivay pulled Sahil into his lap. Three of them were sitting like a perfect family. Anika kept her head on his shoulder. She kept her one hand on Sahil and another one wrapped around shivay from back. Shivay kept his one hand on her shoulder hugging her close to him and with another hand protectively held Sahil. Sahil kept his head on Shivay's shoulder hugging him through his neck.

"Shivay..." anika called him

"Hhmm" he hummed being lost in the moment

"I want ice cream." She said playing with the buttons of his shirt. Shivay looked at her with a jolt. Anika pulled out her best puppy face.

"I knew that, you have something in your head. And i would like to say that, my dear wifey, sorry but you its not possible to get you ice scream at this mid night." He said giving her a tight smile.

"Why? You said you will full fill my every wish. And you are denying my this wish?" Anika asked pouting

"Kittu, its already past 1 am. You will get cold." Shivay tried to make her understand

"Its your baby's wish as well shiv. Won't you fulfil your bay's wish also?" She tried to blackmail him emotionally

"Kittu, its not gonna work." He said shaking his head in disbelieve

Anika pouted sadly. She stood up throwing his hand harshly which was on her shoulder and walked in to the room. Shivay shook his head and got up with a sleeping Sahil. He made sahil sleep on Arnav's room and came back to his billi.

Entering the room, shivay saw his kittu laying on the bed back facing him. He came and lay beside her. He heard a sobbing sound.

"Kittu...." he slowly turned anika towards him and saw her crying silently. He got panic and cupped her cheek.

"What happened kittu? Why are you crying? Is it paining anywhere?" He bombed her with questions. Anika nodded her head in no slowly.

"Then what happened?" He asked scooping her in his arm close to him. She instantly kept her head on his chest and hugged him like a baby hugs its father. Shivay is ruffling her head with one hand inorder to calm her down and another one is hugging her.

"You don't love me anymore, right?" She adked like a baby

"Huh? Who told you like that?" He asked in confusion.

"Nobody said, but i know it. Am pregnant, now i will get fat and look ugly. U will get michmichi seeing me. And you will start to go away from me. Thats why you didn't brought me icecream." She said as her tears started to flow like waterfall making his shirt wet. Shvay closed his eyes for a second before hovering her. He looked straight into her eyes. He slowly kissed on her forehead letting his lips lingered there for some seconds. Withdrawing his lips, he straight looked into her eyes.

"I love you, you are not going to be fat, you are growing chubby whom i am going to love even more. You are not going to be  fat, you are giving space to our baby to live happily in your womb. And, she/he want so much space that you are going to give them. You know, i can't even imagine myself at your place. That pain and all,  can on be faced by women. God knows that if he gave the responsibility of the child to men, we will get fail in it. Yeah, we heard a man who got pregnant by science help, maybe god knows that he can take care of the child. But not all the men. It is the speciality of a women, she can bear any pain for her child, which is impossible for a man. We take care of our kid's future. But you guys take care of its present. And, how can you think that my love is going less? You know, am waiting to see you with the cute baby bump. I want to cherrish all the moments with you in this phase. I want to bear your tantrums, mood swings everything. Never ever think that my love will decrease anytime. Its growing by its 10× by each nano seconds." Shivay finished and slowly wiped the tears that was flowing from his Kittu's eyes silently and kissed her forehead folowed by her both eyes.

"I love you shivay." She said and pulled him over her hugging him tightly.

"I know." He replied and planted a kiss on the crook of her neck.

"Now lets sleep." Shivay said and was about to lay beside her

"Eise keise?  I want my ice cream right now." Anika said suddenly hovering him.

"You won't listen na?" He asked yo which she shook her head with a wide smile. Shivay sighed

"Okay, you wait here, i will go and buy." He said and was about to put her down

"No, i also want to come please..." she made her best puppy face. He stared her for some seconds

"Okay, come." He said making her jump on her place.

"Araam se yaar, you have our baby inside you." He said holding her immediately and kept his hand over her stomach. Anika bite her tongue and mumbled a "sorry". Shivay shook his head and got down from the bed. He saw Anika going towards the cupboard.

"Kittu, where are you going?" He asked in confusion

"If you remember, just now we decided that we are going out for eating ice cream." Shivay nodded his head

"So i have to change my dress." She said raising her eyebrows and turned to the washroom

"Koi zarurat nhi" shivay said making her stop on the way

"You come in this dress only. You are looking cute in this dress." He said making her smile.

**************

Shivay and Anika were in the car on the way to ice cream parlour.

"I told you kittu, who will keep ice cream parlour open at this time?" Shivay said being tired of searching ice cream parlour at 3:45 am.

"STOOOOPPPPPPP" anika screamed resulting shivay to put sudden break. He looked at her panicked.

"Ice cream." She said pointing towards a street shop. He kept his hand on his heart to stop his raging heart and sighed in relief. Before he could gave her gyaan on hygiene, she already reached the shop and ordered her favourite Belgium Chocolate Chip flavour and started to eat.  Shivay came to her.

"How much kaaka?" He asked to the vendor.

"Shiv, wait i have to buy more." She said making shivay look at her with a jerk

"No way, you are not eating more. You will get cold." Shivay said giving back the ice cream which she buy while talking to him.

"I want to eat more shiv." She argued back snatching the ice cream from the vendor.

"You will not eat more." Shivay snatched the icecream from her and gave it back to the vendor.

Anika snatched it back.

Shivay again snatched it from her and gave it back to him.

Again anika snatched it.

Shivay was about to snatch it from her

"Rehne de beta. U can't win from her." The vendor said keeping his hand on shivay's shoulder.

"Yes, samjhao isko kaaka." Anika said and was about to walk to the car

"Take it beta, and think it as my aashirvaad. You both are made for eachother.  May god keep you both together forever." The vendor said giving one more icecream to her. She took it smiling  making shivay also smile and ran to car like a small girl. Shivay took out his wallet and gave the cash. He gave back some money to shivay making him confuse.

"I just took the money for the ice cream she buy. And last one was my aashirvaad. Aur aashirvaad ki koi keemat nhi hoti. She is pregnant na?" He said to which shivay nodded his head.

"Keep her like a queen. And give her whatever  she want, don't deny any of her wish. Kyunki duniya mei eise bhi log hei jo, mauka milke bhi usko gava diya ho." He said as his eyes got moistured. Shivay looked at him.

"Shiv come na...." Anika called him from the car. Shivay smiled at the vendor and came to his car.

************

Shivay stopped the car infront of the mansion. He looked at his kittu, who was fast asleep. He smiled tucking the hair strand which was disturbing his sleep. He got out from car  and came to her side. He released her from the seatbelt and took her in his hand. He closed the door with his leg.

************

Shivay entered the hall without making any noise. He was about to go upstairs suddenly he heard daadi's voice.

"Billu?"

"Yes daadi." Shivay turned to her.

"Where you gone at this time, that too with Anika?" She asked looking at the sleeping Anika.

"Daadi, speak slowly, she will wake up." Shivay whispered

"Ok, now tell me where you gone?" She whispered back.

"Anika wanted to have icecream, so i took her to buy it." Shivay whispered

"Wese, what are doing here at this time? Didn't you slept?" Shivay asked

"I came to take water." Daadi said showing the water bottle to him.

"Theek hei, now go and sleep. Tomorrow is your Marriage, don't forget."she said patting on his cheek.

"Never daadi." He said winking at her

"Chal khoteya, apni daadi ko aankh maar raha hei, besharam." She said smacking on his shoulder. Shivay walked to his room laughing.

*************

"Shivay....... Anika...... get up. Today is your marriage guys. Get up." Om is calling them from past 2 hours.

"O, they are not gonna open the door." Rudy said coming towards him. Daadi also reached there hearing Om's voice from this much time.

"What happened omru?" She asked them.

"Daadi, they are not opening the door." Om said a little panicked

"Daadi, mei kabse samjha raha hu O ko,  ki woh log door open nhi karne wale." Rusdy said giving his logic wala sign.

"Shut up Rudy." Daadi and Om said in unison.

"Sab mujhe hi shut up kyu kehte hei." Rudy complained

"Om, yesterday Shivay and Anika came late, as she wanted to eat ice cream. They may be tired.  Go from the poolside and wake them up." She said and Om nodded his head in understanding.
