Five years later

Mamma...... I heard my baby scream as I walked out of my office at home and found our daughter in the hands of my love. I went and pecked our daughter Vanessa on her cheek and held her as Nandini brought me her toy Mr. snuggles. It's a weird name but anything for my daughter.
I held her tightly and she got out of my embrace and went to the garden to pluck flowers again. Till then I pulled my wife closer and pecked her lips and held her by the stomach and then kissed her forehead.

Just then I heard the all to familiar voice of my romance breaker the one and only Kabir Dhawan who just returned from his honeymoon.

The night after Mukti left with Abhi to New York City Nandini and I too were back from the hotel after staying their an extra day to enjoy and the very day I found baby carrots in the oven and a lot of baby stuff spread on the bed in our room. I ran to her and said "are you.. please tell me are you"

Nandini looked at me in tears "I'm pregnant Manik. You're going to be a father"

I screamed and picked her up and started to twirl her around as she laughed and wrapped her arms around my neck.

I started rambling and she shut me up by a kiss which lead to something else. Her bold moves always have and will be a turn on.

After nine months came our baby girl and to the fact on our wedding anniversary was the best present ever for us. After 6 long hours in the operation theatre our baby was here.

I did our guy hug with Kabir and side hugged Navya just then Alia and Dhruv as well as Mukti and Abhi came in. 

Alia and Dhruv have a four year old son Vivaan and Mukti and Abhi have a three year old girl Nina. It was a bit weird for me as for knowing Abhi has taken my sister's innocence but got over it as even my love was his sister in the first place. I hugged Abhi as we both picked our baby girls up who wrapped themselves around us.

My Vanessa is turning five in two weeks time and I feel I'll have to use my gun very soon as guys might start proposing her.
I yet remember Nandini's face when I told her this but she laughed at me and told that it was fine. Heck, that very moment I knew that if our daughter had a boyfriend my wife would surely play Cupid.

We all sat down and started talking and then Kabir said "Manik I honestly pity you brother"

"Why my dear brother" I said playing along.

"You see except you the rest of us get to celebrate Valentine's Day"

"Why is that so?" I said narrowing my eyes at him.

"it's your wedding anniversary+ your daughter's birthday"

"Kabir you want to know something you guys have to be here for my daughter's birthday how about that now"

Kabir frowned while we all laughed and he pouted sadly. Ha!! That's what you get buddy. Then all of us started watching the match which was of Mumbai Indians vs Delhi Capitals and the night continued as I pulled Nandini onto my lap keeping my hand on her stomach as she smiled at me.

"How's my babies and their mother doing today love"

She smiled "mommy and her babies both are fine and we love daddy a lot"

"Trust me baby I love you guys more than anything. I'll do anything to protect you. Thank you for giving me our family"

"I know you will. I trust you and I love you Manik"

With that said I sealed my lips with hers for a kiss.

Nandini's pov:
Mamma...... I heard my baby scream so I went and picked her up as Manik walked out of the study taking our soon to be five year old in his arms and pecking her while I quickly took her teddy mr. snuggles and gave it to Vanessa , our daughter. I admired them as he talked to our daughter. Manik had grown big. He worked out a lot and had our company reach no. 1 all over though he never compromised on family time. He took care of us. I know for a fact that he will shoot any guy that came around her. She had him wrapped around his fingers. I giggled remembering when Manik told me that he bought a gun. How excited he was.
I was in the kitchen cooking though I know I won't be spared by my husband who had banned my entry in here. Two days ago we found out the gender of our baby. It's a girl. After I was done cooking I quickly went out as Manik entered and I handed him water. He sat down and excitedly pulled out a packet from his bag. I asked him what it was and he said: Nanz see I bought a gun. I'll shoot any guy who comes near our baby girl. I laughed as he pouted sadly that I didn't support his thoughts. I knew that if my daughter liked someone I'll surely play Cupid and might as well get Kabir to do so. After all he is our ultimate Cupid in the first place.

I smiled when Vanessa hopped off Manik and ran into the garden dragging her mr. snuggles along and as she left he held me tightly and pecked my lips and the side of my forehead as I simply laid my head against his chest.

Just then I heard the all to familiar voice of my husband's romance breaker as he says it the one and only Kabir Dhawan who just returned from his honeymoon.

The night after Mukti left with Abhi to New York City Manik and I moved back from the hotel after enjoying another fun day there but the very day I found out that about my pregnancy so I took a basket and placed baby carrots and some toys in the oven. As manik came home I said: Manik I have kept something in the oven to be heated can you please get it for me. He smiled and went to the kitchen and then I heard a scream and he came out running "are you.. please tell me are you"

"I'm pregnant Manik. You're going to be a father"

I screamed as he suddenly picked me up and started to twirl me around screaming I'm becoming a dad!! I giggled and wrapped my arms around his neck.

He started rambling and to shut him up picking up courage I kissed him which lead to something else only.

After nine months our baby girl took birth and to the fact on our wedding anniversary was the best present ever for us. After 6 long hours in the operation theatre our baby took birth. It was worth every ounce of pain I endured in those terrifying six hours when I saw our daughter who was very much like her father. I forgot all my pain as I held her in my arms smiling at manik who was clicking our pictures with a wide smile with tears in his eyes. Even I had tears but they were happy tears.

I smiled as I saw him doing their men hug to Kabir and side hugged Navya just then Alia and dhruv as well as Mukti and bhai came in.

Alia and Dhruv have a four year old son Vivaan and Mukti and bhai have a three year old girl Nina. It was a bit weird for Manik as for knowing bhai has taken his sister's innocence but got over it as even he took mine as in Abhi's sister's in the first place. I hugged bhai when Manik hugged him and both picked their baby girls up who wrapped themselves around them cuddling.

We sat down and started talking when Kabir called out to my husband "Manik I honestly pity you brother"

"Why my dear brother" he said and I knew my husband was upto no good.

"You see except you the rest of us get to celebrate Valentine's Day"

"Why is that so?"

"it's your wedding anniversary+ your daughter's birthday"

"Kabir you want to know something you guys have to be here for my daughter's birthday how about that now"

Kabir frowned while we all laughed and he pouted sadly. Haha these guys are so cute I don't even know how do they call themselves manly all the time. Then all of us started watching the match which was of Mumbai Indians vs Delhi Capitals and the night continued as I was pulled onto Manik's lap with his hand around my stomach. I felt warm with his touch and smiled instantly.

"How's my babies and their mother doing today love" he looked at me with those brown eyes of his.

I smiled "mommy and her babies both are fine and we love daddy a lot"

"Trust me baby I love you guys more than anything. I'll do anything to protect you. Thank you for giving me our family" that's it I want my husband right now I'm in tears.

"I know you will. I trust you and I love you Manik"

With that said he sealed my lips with his for a kiss. I knew one thing. Arrange marriages may all look forced but trust me the journey from arranged to love was the best for me. Getting arranged to him was the best decision ever made. I knew in my heart know matter what the future holds for us I will always be HIS now and forever.

._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._.

Yes!!!!! His is finally completed. silently sobs with tears in her eyes... I love you guys! ❤️ It has been a great journey to be with you all. I'll see you soon with my new book. Stay tuned and follow me for updates. Thank you signing off yours one and only Sejal Tayal.
