Whispers of RomanceWords: 42715

Two months later,Vaidehi, now three months pregnant, radiated a gentle glow that filled their days with joy. These past three months had been nothing short of bliss for both her and Viyansh. Vaidehi’s newfound carefulness and reduced clumsiness were noticeable changes, reflecting her heightened awareness and care for their growing baby.

Viyansh’s attentiveness had also reached new levels. He had taken on the role of a devoted partner with unwavering dedication, making sure Vaidehi felt supported and cherished every step of the way. Every morning, he would accompany her to her academy, ensuring she arrived safely. In the Evenings, he would be there again, ready to take her home, his presence a constant reassurance. His work schedule had become secondary to Vaidehi's needs. Meetings were rescheduled, tasks prioritized, and his calendar adjusted to accommodate her appointments and well-being. Evenings were spent in tender companionship. Viyansh would prepare her favorite meals, often experimenting with recipes that were both nutritious and delicious, catering to her pregnancy cravings. They would go for gentle walks, hand in hand, talking about their hopes and dreams for their baby. Viyansh took extra care to ensure Vaidehi was comfortable, whether it meant fluffing pillows for her or giving her a soothing massage.

After Vaidehi's first sonography, which had initially filled both her and Viyansh with immense joy, the reality of her pregnancy's physical toll became evident. She experienced terrible morning sickness, which left her feeling weak and exhausted for several days. Each bout of nausea seemed worse than the last, and Vaidehi found herself struggling to keep anything down. One particularly rough morning, Vaidehi felt an overwhelming wave of nausea. She barely made it to the bathroom before throwing up, her body trembling from the effort. As she staggered out, the room spinning around her, she felt the darkness closing in, and she was about to faint. Viyansh, usually so attentive, was not there to catch her this time. Thankfully, Vanshika was visiting and immediately sprang into action. She supported Vaidehi, guiding her to a chair and ensuring she was safe and comfortable. Vanshika's presence was a blessing, but Vaidehi's distress didn't end there. She was deeply shaken and, in her vulnerable state, began to cry, calling out for Viyansh. When Viyansh received the frantic call from Vanshika, informing him of Vaidehi's condition and her desperate cries for him, he didn't hesitate. He was in the middle of an important meeting, but nothing was more important than Vaidehi. Apologizing to his colleagues, he left immediately, his heart pounding with worry. Upon arriving home, Viyansh found Vaidehi in a fragile state, tears still glistening on her cheeks. He rushed to her side, enveloping her in a comforting embrace, whispering soothing words. The sight of him seemed to bring her some peace, but Viyansh's heart ached seeing her like this. For the next week, Viyansh did not leave her side. He took time off work, dedicating himself entirely to her care. He attended to her every need, from preparing bland, easy-to-digest meals to holding her hair back during the bouts of morning sickness. He sat with her, held her, and reassured her with his presence. Viyansh’s unwavering support and constant care helped Vaidehi through one of the toughest weeks of her pregnancy.

Fortunately, Vaidehi's morning sickness has subsided, bringing much-needed relief to her daily routine. She now eats all the healthy foods without any fuss, ensuring she gets the nutrition she and the baby need. Her recent medical reports came back normal, providing a reassuring sense of comfort to both her and Viyansh. Vaidehi's cravings have also mellowed, with the only indulgence being her love for ice cream. In all, everything is progressing smoothly with her pregnancy. The only thing Vaidehi desires is to have her husband by her side constantly, a wish that Viyansh wholeheartedly fulfills. He ensures that he is present whenever she needs him, offering his unwavering support and companionship.

Currently, Vaidehi was sitting in their room, carefully placing a cherished photo into a frame meant for their bedside table. Her attention was fully absorbed in the task, a gentle smile playing on her lips as she admired the picture. Viyansh entered the room quietly, holding a glass of freshly made juice. Noticing how engrossed Vaidehi was, he walked over to the bedside table and set the glass down gently, ensuring he didn't disturb her. He then moved to the bed, reclining on it and propping himself up on one elbow, his eyes fixed on Vaidehi with a tender gaze. He watched her for a moment, appreciating the peaceful expression on her face as she worked on framing the picture.

Viyansh: "Kya kar rahi ho Jaan??"

(What are you doing, darling?)

Vaidehi looked up at Viyansh, an excited grin spreading across her face. Her eyes sparkled with joy as she held up the framed picture.

Vaidehi: "Ansh, mujhe na aap pe bahaut pyaar aa raha hai."

(Ansh, I'm feeling a lot of love for you right now.)

Viyansh couldn't help but chuckle at the sight.

Viyansh: "Ye tum mujhe Roz bolti hu jaana."

(You say this to me every day, darling.)

Vaidehi playfully pouted, her lips forming an adorable expression of mock displeasure. Viyansh chuckled at her cute display, unable to resist the urge to tease her. He reached out and gently pulled her cheeks, his fingers lightly pinching the soft skin.

Vaidehi: "Toh mujhe Roz pyaar aata hai toh main kya karu ??"

(What can I do if I feel love for you every day?)

Viyansh chuckled again. He then sat up properly, with a gentle movement, he leaned in and pressed a soft kiss to Vaidehi’s forehead.

Viyansh: "Kuch nahi, bas ye juice pilo tum."

(Nothing, just drink this juice.)

Viyansh picked up the glass of juice from the bedside table and held it gently near Vaidehi’s lips. With a loving smile, he encouraged her to take a sip. Vaidehi, still engrossed in arranging the framed picture, paused just long enough to drink from his hand, savoring the refreshing juice.  Viyansh settled back in front of her, his curiosity piqued. He leaned in slightly, trying to get a better look at the framed photo.

Viyansh: "Kya kar rahi ho Jaan, kiski photo laga rahi ho??"

(What are you doing, darling? Whose picture are you putting up?)

Vaidehi: "Bas ho gaya Ansh ek second rukiye bahaut cute picture hai."

(It's almost done, Ansh. Just wait a second, it's a very cute picture.)

Viyansh: "Okayy"

Vaidehi: "Yessss done."

Viyansh’s smile widened as he saw Vaidehi's excitement. Her enthusiasm was contagious, and he couldn’t help but feel a swell of affection for her. Seeing her eagerness, Vaidehi extended the photo frame towards him, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.

Vaidehi: "Dekhiye Ansh, kitni cute picture hai na, yaha room me rakhungi aur Roz dekhungi main toh."

(Look, Ansh, isn't it a cute picture? I'll keep it in the room and look at it every day.)

Viyansh took the frame, looked at the picture, and then glared at Vaidehi, who was grinning and looking at him with love in her eyes.

Viyansh: "Jaan seriously ye picture lagayi hai tumne??"

(Darling, seriously, you put up this picture?)

Vaidehi: "Haa Ansh kitne cute lag rahe hai na aap isme, main Roz ye dekhungi."

(Yes, Ansh. Don't you look so cute in it? I'll look at it every day.)

The picture in the frame was a delightful snapshot of a tender and playful moment. It showed Viyansh sleeping peacefully on Vaidehi’s chest, his head resting comfortably as if he were a child. His hair was tousled and messy, adding to the endearing quality of the photo. His lips were in a small, adorable pout, capturing the serene and relaxed state of his slumber. Vaidehi had taken the snap with a mixture of affection and amusement, cherishing this intimate moment of vulnerability and closeness. The sight of him so relaxed and content, curled up against her, was a testament to their deep bond and the warmth of their relationship.

Viyansh: "Ha aur tumhare sath baaki sab bhi jo is room me aayenge, so it's a big No, just change it."

(Yes, and everyone else who comes into this room will see it too, so it's a big no. Just change it.)

Vaidehi's smile faltered as she noticed Viyansh's reaction. Her brows furrowed, and she shot him a playful but pointed glare.

Vaidehi: "Ansh main pregnant hu."

(Ansh, I'm pregnant.)

Viyansh, ever the quick learner, gave Vaidehi his best puppy-eyed look—a tactic he had cleverly picked up from her own repertoire of expressions. His eyes widened in a pleading, almost innocent way that made it nearly impossible for her to resist.

Viyansh : "Ha vo main janta hu teen mahine se roz sunta hu but Please Bachcha change kar do."

(Yes, I know that. I've been hearing it every day for three months, but please, darling, change it.)

His little wife, always a step ahead, decided to return the favor. She gave Viyansh her own version of the puppy-eyed look, a skillful expression that she had mastered. Her eyes were wide and soft, brimming with innocent charm. The effect was immediate and powerful. Viyansh’s playful smirk melted away, replaced by a look of utter adoration. He felt his resolve dissolve like chocolate in the sun, unable to resist the charm of her gaze.

Vaidehi: "Ha toh aap mujhe mana nahi kar sakte hai, Please Ansh."

(You can't say no to me, please, Ansh.)

He sighed and shook his head, a smile playing on his lips as he admired her cleverness and their playful banter.

Viyansh: "Jaise aap chahe meri jaan."

(As you wish, my love.)

She giggled, leaned in and wrapped her arms around Viyansh, holding him close in a warm embrace. The tenderness of the moment was palpable, and Viyansh responded by gently caressing her head, his fingers brushing softly through her hair. As he held her, he planted a loving kiss on the top of her head. Vaidehi pulled back slightly, her eyes meeting his with a soft, contented smile.

Vaidehi: "Ansh, main na Vanshi se mil ke aati hu phir lunch ke liye chalenge okay?"

(Ansh, I'll go meet Vanshi, then we'll go for lunch, okay?)

Viyansh: "Okay but araam se."

(But be careful)

Vaidehi: "Jii"

(Yes)

Viyansh grabbed his laptop as Vaidehi made her way from their room to the staircase. Since they had moved their room to the ground floor a few weeks ago, the new setup had been convenient for both of them. It made it easier for Vaidehi to move around, especially with her growing pregnancy needs, and Viyansh appreciated the proximity for quick check-ins throughout the day.

In Vihaan and Vanshika's room,

The atmosphere was tinged with a mix of anticipation and anxiety. Vanshika was pacing back and forth, her face marked by a look of concern. Her fingers fidgeted nervously as she tried to manage her growing apprehension. Just then, Vihaan entered the room, holding an envelope in his hand with a broad, confident grin on his face. He moved towards Vanshika, his expression one of reassurance and excitement. He stood in front of her and gently placed his hands on her shoulders, stopping her from her restless pacing. Vanshika looked up at him, her eyes reflecting her nervousness. Vihaan’s grin widened as he looked into her eyes.

Vanshika: "Is it what we were thinking?"

Vihaan nodded with a reassuring smile, his eyes filled with a mixture of excitement and affection. Vihaan watched with a soft smile as Vanshika’s reaction shifted from initial curiosity to full-blown nervousness. Her eyes widened, and she began to tap her foot on the floor repeatedly, a clear sign of her anxiety. Her hands, previously gripping the letter, now fidgeted uncontrollably, her fingers drumming against each other in a rhythm of anxious anticipation. She turned her head from side to side, as if trying to distract herself from the gravity of the moment. Her breath came in quick, shallow bursts as she struggled to calm her racing thoughts. Vihaan, noticing her escalating nervousness, gently placed a hand on her shoulder.

Vanshika: "Ohh God, ab kya hoga, sab kya sochenge Vih. Hum kaise sambhalenge sab??"

(Oh God, what will happen now? What will everyone think? How will we manage everything?)

Vihaan: "What are you saying, Shika?"

Vanshika: "Oh God, it's just been three months since our marriage and this. Vihh vo bhai, bhabhi baaki sab kya sochenge."

(Vihaan, brother, sister-in-law, and everyone else, what will they think?)

Vihaan: "Relax, Shika. So what if it's only been three months since our marriage? We've been together for almost six years."

Vanshika: "Vihh, aap samajh nahi rahe hai it's too early for all this also Bhabhi..."

(Vihaan, you don't understand. It's too early for all this, and also sister-in-law...)

Vihaan: "You don't want this? Are you planning to..."

Vanshika: "What???? No, Vihaan, never. I could never do that. How can you even think about it? Are y..."

Vihaan, sensing that Vanshika’s anxiety was getting the better of her, decided to take a more intimate approach. He leaned in and gently pressed his lips against hers, effectively silencing her anxious chatter. The unexpected kiss caused Vanshika’s eyes to widen in surprise, and for a brief moment, she forgot to breathe, caught off guard by the tenderness of his touch. The kiss was soft and reassuring, a silent promise of his support and affection. As the initial shock wore off, Vanshika’s lips began to respond to his, and she melted into the kiss, her nervousness slowly giving way to the comfort of his embrace. The kiss deepened slightly, their connection growing more intense as they shared this moment of intimacy.

"Opppssss"

Vihaan and Vanshika’s eyes widened in shock as they heard a faint sound behind them. They both turned abruptly and saw that the door, which Vihaan had accidentally left open, was now open wide. Vaidehi stood in the doorway, her face a mix of surprise and mischief. She had come to visit Vanshika but had unexpectedly walked in on the intimate moment. Her eyes widened in shock, and she quickly turned around, trying to give them some privacy. Vanshika pushed Vihaan away gently, her cheeks flushed with a mix of embarrassment and confusion.

Vaidehi: "Bhai yaar, humare ghar me darwaze bhi hai thoda istamaal kar lijiye. Raj and Veer abhi chote hai unhe mat dikhaiye ye sab."

(Brother, come on, we have doors in our house. Please use them. Raj and Veer are still young. Don't show them all this.)

Vihaan: "Shut up dahi."

Vaidehi: "Carry on."

Vaidehi couldn’t help but giggle as she made her way down the stairs, her light-hearted laughter echoing through the hallway. The amusing yet awkward situation she had stumbled upon had left her in a cheerful mood, and she found herself unable to suppress her laughter. As she descended the stairs, Viyansh appeared at the bottom, catching sight of her mirthful demeanor. He looked at her with a curious smile, his eyebrows raised in playful inquiry.

Viyansh: "Kya hua, Jaana?"

(What happened?)

Vaidehi: "Nothing Ansh, Vaise kaha ja rahe hai??"

(Nothing, Ansh. By the way, where are you going?)

Viyansh: "Bachcha vo Vihu se thoda kaam hai."

(Darling, I have some work with Vihaan.)

As Vaidehi continued to giggle, Viyansh looked at her with a mix of confusion and curiosity. He reached out and gently took her hand.

Viyansh: "Kya hua?"

(What happened?)

Vaidehi: "Meri masoom aakhein abhi abhi adult show dekh kar aayi hai Ansh, aap mat jaiye."

(My innocent eyes just witnessed an adult show, Ansh. Please don't go.)

As Vaidehi’s giggles continued, Viyansh couldn’t help but join in with a chuckle.

Viyansh: "Tumhe kuch zyada mazaa nahi aa raha hai??"

(Are you enjoying this a bit too much?)

Vaidehi: "Haan aa raha hai."

(Yes, I am.)

Viyansh gently pulled Vaidehi closer to him, his movements careful and tender. He wrapped his arms around her waist, drawing her into a warm embrace.

Viyansh: "Adult show dekh ke aayi ho, practical karna hai??"

(You've seen an adult show, do you want to practice it?)

As Viyansh wrapped his arms around Vaidehi and held her close, he playfully winked at her. The spontaneous gesture caught Vaidehi off guard, and her cheeks flushed a deep shade of red. She felt a rush of warmth and shyness at his affectionate, teasing move. Feeling her face heat up, Vaidehi quickly lowered her gaze, trying to hide her flustered reaction. Her smile widened despite her attempt to remain composed, and she nestled closer into Viyansh’s embrace, savoring the moment of shared intimacy and playful connection.

Vaidehi: "Kuch bhi mat puchiye."

(Don't ask anything.)

Viyansh, noticing how red Vaidehi’s cheeks had become, gently cupped her face in his hands. His touch was tender and reassuring as he began to softly caress her cheeks with his thumbs. The warmth of his hands and the gentle strokes were meant to soothe and comfort her. Vaidehi closed her eyes for a moment, feeling the soothing sensation of his touch.

Viyansh: "Achcha toh puche nahi directly practical start kare??"

(So should I not ask and start practicing directly?)

Vaidehi: "Anshh please"

Viyansh: "Right now?"

Vaidehi: "Anshhhh"

Vaidehi, still feeling the playful warmth from Viyansh’s teasing, gave him a gentle yet firm tap on the chest. Her cheeks were still flushed, but her eyes sparkled with amusement. She playfully pushed him away and continued down the stairs, her movements light and purposeful. Viyansh, chuckling at her reaction, followed her closely. He enjoyed the playful exchange and the closeness it brought.

Viyansh: "Achcha jaan ok ok sorry."

(Okay, darling, sorry.)

Vaidehi: "Noo, aap mujhe bahaut tang karte hai."

(No, you trouble me a lot.)

Viyansh: "Achcha baba nahi karunga, tum kar lena mujhe tang bas??"

(Okay, fine, I won't. You can trouble me instead, okay?)

As Vaidehi continued down the stairs, Viyansh couldn’t resist using his signature puppy-eyed look. He reached out and gently took her hand, his expression a mix of pleading and affection. Vaidehi looked at him, her smile widening at the sight of his adorable expression. Her initial teasing mood melted away as she saw how earnestly he was trying to win her over.

Vaidehi: "Okayyy"

He chuckled at her sudden mood swings, finding her emotional shifts both endearing and amusing.

Viyansh: "Achcha chalo lunch karte hai, bhook lagi hogi na tumhe."

(Come on, let's have lunch. You must be hungry.)

Here,

Vanshika, feeling a mix of embarrassment and frustration, gave Vihaan a playful yet firm tap on the chest. Her eyes flashed with a mock glare, clearly indicating her irritation over the situation.

Vanshika: "Bhabhi kya sochengi ab Vih, aapko thoda open hone kaha tha aap toh besharam hi ban gaye pure ke pure."

(What will sister-in-law think now, Vihaan? I told you to be a bit open, but you became completely shameless.)

Vihaan: "Tabhi toh uska fal mil raha hai hume."

(That's why we're reaping the rewards now.)

Vihaan, noticing the look of surprise on Vanshika’s face, responded with a cheeky wink. His playful gesture was met with wide eyes of shock from Vanshika, who was momentarily taken aback. She couldn’t believe that this was the same Vihaan who used to get shy at even the slightest hint of intimacy.

Despite her initial surprise, Vanshika soon felt a wave of warmth and affection as Vihaan pulled her into a gentle embrace. He wrapped his arms around her, holding her close in a loving and tender hug. Both of them closed their eyes, savoring the new, blissful sensation of their intimate connection.

Vihaan: "I'm so happy, Shika."

Vanshika: "Me too, Vih."

Vihaan: "Niche chale?? Sabka batana bhi hai na."

(Shall we go downstairs? We need to tell everyone.)

Vanshika gently pulled back from the embrace, her eyes meeting Vihaan's with a mixture of affection and curiosity.

Vanshika: "Pakka sab khush honge Vihh??"

(Are you sure everyone will be happy, Vihaan?)

Vihaan: "Of course yaar, tum kyu ye sab soch rahi ho??"

(Of course, why are you thinking about all this?)

Vanshika: "Because bhabhi abhi sirf three months pregnant hai toh"

(Because sister-in-law is only three months pregnant.)

Vihaan: "Dekhna Dahi hi sabse zyada khush hogi, vaise bhi pagal hai vo nachne na lage bas."

(Watch, Vaidehi will be the happiest. She's already crazy; she might even start dancing.)

With their heartfelt exchange still fresh, both Vanshika and Vihaan let out a shared, light-hearted giggle. Hand in hand, they headed downstairs together, easy conversation continuing as they made their way down.

At the dining table, Viyansh gently helped Vaidehi settle into her chair, ensuring she was comfortable before joining the rest of the family. Vikram, Viraj, and Virat had already gathered around the table. Viyansh, ever attentive to Vaidehi's needs, began to serve her a plate of green vegetables and roti, mindful of her diet. However, as he reached out with the serving spoon, Vaidehi stopped him with a gentle touch on his hand.

Vaidehi: "Ansh, no, not this."

Viyansh: "Then what?"

Vaidehi: "I want puri sabzi."

Viraj and Virat: "Yayyyyyyy!"

Everyone looked at the twins in confusion, trying to understand what was going on.

Vikram: "Ab tum dono ko kya hua??"

(Now what happened to you two?)

Viraj: "Papa, Finally bhabhi maa is craving something good other than those bland dishes that bhai makes."

Vaidehi and Vikram giggled, while Viyansh playfully smacked Viraj on the head.

Viyansh: "Chup kar."

(Shut up.)

Virat: "Laga laga sach kadva laga."

(Truth hurts, doesn't it?)

Vaidehi, Vikram, and Viraj chuckled, while Viyansh glared at Virat, causing him to quickly shut his mouth.

Viyansh: "Puri sabzi is not good for your health, so nahi milega tumhe."

(so you won't get it.)

Vaidehi made a puppy face, hoping to sway Viyansh, but he remained unmoved. When Viyansh remained unaffected, Vaidehi took a deep breath and began to sing softly.

Vaidehi: "Patthar ke sanam tujhe hamne

Mohabbat ka khuda jaana

Patthar ke sanam tujhe hamne

Mohabbat ka khuda jaana

Badhi bhool hui arey hamne..."

Viyansh, amused but determined to cut short the impromptu performance, rolled his eyes at Vaidehi’s antics. The others at the table burst into laughter, enjoying the playful exchange between the couple. Before Vaidehi could start singing again, Viyansh quickly took a piece of puri with sabzi and gently placed it in her mouth. His action was both practical and affectionate, cutting off her song in a way that made everyone at the table chuckle.

Viyansh: "Ohhkayy Fine."

As lunch began, Viyansh remained unsure about Vaidehi’s preferences but decided to serve her exactly what she asked for. He then helped himself, loading his plate with veggies and roti. The family settled into their meal, enjoying the delicious food and each other’s company. After a couple of bites, Vaidehi glanced at Viyansh with a playful pout and her signature puppy eyes. Viyansh, captivated by her adorable display, couldn’t help but chuckle. He reached over and gently pulled her chubby cheeks.

Viyansh: "Pata hi tha mujhe, par kuch bolta hu toh sunti kaha ho tum."

(I knew it, but you never listen to me.)

Vaidehi: "Sorry."

Seeing Vaidehi’s delighted reaction and her adorable puppy eyes, Viyansh couldn’t resist. With a smile and a shake of his head, he decided to indulge her. He carefully swapped his plate with hers, making sure she got the meal she desired. Vaidehi’s grin widened as she realized what he had done. With a happy sparkle in her eyes, she eagerly started on her meal, savoring each bite with evident enjoyment.

Viraj: "satyanaash"

(Disaster.)

Viyansh: "Ab kya hua"

(Now what happened?)

Virat: "do pal ki khushi humari bardasht nahi huyi na aapse bhai."

(You couldn't even digest two moments of our happiness, right, brother?)

Viyansh: "Kya matlab"

(What do you mean?)

Viraj: "De diya na bhabhi maa ko apna ghaas fuss wala khana."

(You gave sister-in-law your bland food.)

Viyansh couldn’t help but sulk playfully at their comment. Vaidehi, seeing Viyansh's reaction, burst into laughter. Vikram, observing the playful exchange, simply smiled. The easy camaraderie and affectionate teasing were a regular, or you'll choke.)

Vaidehi: "yeahh"

She stopped laughing and resumed eating, focusing on her meal with a serene expression.

Vikram: "Aur tum dono, hasana band karo ladoo ko."

(And you two, stop making Vaidehi laugh.)

Viraj, Virat: "Sorry Papa"

Vikram: "Ye Vihu aur Vanshi kaha reh gaye."

(Where are Vihaan and Vanshika?)

As Vaidehi and Viyansh exchanged a knowing glance, their shared amusement was palpable. The brief, unspoken communication between them led to a burst of giggles. The rest of the family, observing their playful interaction, looked on with a mix of confusion and curiosity. Vikram, Viraj, and Virat exchanged puzzled glances, trying to decipher the source of their amusement.

Vaidehi: "Aate hi honge popsy."

(They must be coming, Popsy.)

Vihaan: "Aa gaye hum Papa"

(We're here, Dad.)

As Vihaan and Vanshika entered the room, Vaidehi couldn’t help but give them a teasing smile. Her expression was full of playful mischief, adding to the ongoing atmosphere of light-hearted fun. Vanshika, catching Vaidehi’s gaze, silently pleaded with her through her eyes. Her look was a mix of nervousness and a request for understanding, hoping for Vaidehi’s support. Vaidehi responded with a reassuring blink, signaling that she was on Vanshika’s side.

Vikram: "Kaha reh gaye the, chalo aao khana kha lo."

(Where were you? Come on, have lunch.)

Vihaan: "Jii papa, aur uske baad hume aap sabko kuch batana bhi hai"

(Yes, Dad. And after that, we have something to tell you all.)

As Vihaan and Vanshika settled into their seats, Vikram gave a nod of approval, acknowledging the smooth transition at the table. Vihaan gently helped Vanshika into her chair before taking his own seat beside her. He served both her and himself with a practiced ease, ensuring everything was just right.

Once everyone had finished their lunch and the meal plates were cleared, Vihaan cleared his throat to gather the group's attention. The subtle action quickly focused the family’s attention on him, signaling that he had something important or interesting to share.

Vikram: "Ha Vihu bol."

(Go ahead, Vihaan.)

Vihaan: "Vo papa...vo... actually."

Vihaan, once the center of attention, visibly returned to his shy self. His face turned a shade of red as he gathered his thoughts, trying to muster the courage to speak. The familiar signs of nervousness were clear, and he fidgeted slightly in his seat.

Seeing Vihaan’s discomfort, Viyansh, who was sitting beside him, placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder. He gave it a gentle, encouraging press, offering silent support and strength. The gesture was meant to comfort Vihaan and bolster his confidence as he prepared to speak.

Viyansh: "What happened, Vihu? Say it."

Vihaan: "Vo Bhai..., actually, yeah Shika wanted to say something."

As Vihaan gathered his courage and prepared to speak, everyone’s attention shifted towards Vanshika, expecting her to play a role in the upcoming announcement or discussion. However, Vanshika’s reaction was unexpected. She widened her eyes in surprise and then nudged Vihaan’s stomach with her elbow, a gesture that seemed both urgent and unspoken. Her action caused her to lower her gaze, appearing both flustered and slightly embarrassed. The move left everyone around the table puzzled.

Vaidehi: "Ab aap dono me se koi kuch bolega??"

(Will one of you say something?)

Vihaan took a deep breath, gathering all his nerves, and spoke quickly, in one breath, to get the words out before he could second-guess himself.

Vihaan: "Weareexpecting Vanshikaispregnant."

As Vihaan’s announcement hung in the air, a moment of stunned silence settled over the table. Everyone looked around at each other with expressions of confusion and disbelief, trying to process what he said.

Virat: "Vihu bhai yaha pe kisi ko bhi Spanish nahi aati hai, so please say it in Hindi or English."

(Vihaan, nobody here speaks Spanish, so please say it in Hindi or English.)

Noticing Vanshika’s evident nervousness amidst the confusion, Vaidehi stood up with a compassionate resolve. She walked over to Vanshika and gently placed her hand on her shoulder, offering a reassuring squeeze. Her comforting gesture was meant to provide support and calm to Vanshika, who seemed overwhelmed by the unexpected attention and the surprising news. Vanshika looked up at Vaidehi with a mixture of gratitude and relief.

Vaidehi: "Why are you so nervous?"

Vihaan, feeling the weight of the moment, stood up from his seat. He glanced at Vaidehi, then at Viyansh, and finally turned to face his entire family. With a determined expression, he moved behind Vanshika’s seat and placed both of his hands gently on her shoulders. Vanshika, feeling the comforting presence of Vihaan, lowered her eyes in shyness, her cheeks tinged with a rosy hue. Her reaction was a blend of excitement and nervousness, her emotions evident in her lowered gaze.

Vihaan: "We are expecting, Shika is pregnant."

The initial shock gradually gave way to a wave of happiness as the family processed the news. The surprise of the announcement turned into genuine joy and excitement. Viyansh, unable to contain his happiness, immediately stood up and pulled Vihaan into a heartfelt hug. His embrace was warm and full of congratulatory fervor, reflecting the joy and excitement of becoming an uncle.

Viraj, Virat: "Aaahhhhhhh"

The twins, felt the excitement and happiness of the moment bubble up inside them. Overwhelmed by the joy of the news, they quickly turned to each other. With broad smiles and sparkling eyes, they embraced each other in a warm hug, their excitement palpable.

Viyansh: "Congratulations Vihu."

Vihaan: "Thanks Bhai."

As the celebration continued, Vihaan approached Vikram with a respectful demeanor. He touched Vikram’s feet, a traditional gesture of seeking blessings and showing reverence. Vikram, deeply moved by the respectful act and the significance of the moment, responded with a warm and affectionate hug. The embrace was filled with pride and happiness, symbolizing the support and love of a father for his son. Vikram’s hug was a heartfelt acknowledgment of the joy and new beginnings in Vihaan and Vanshika’s life.

Vikram: "Congratulations Beta."

After embracing Vihaan, Vikram turned to Vanshika with a warm and reassuring smile. He placed his hand gently on her head, offering his blessings with a sense of pride and affection. His gesture was a meaningful way of welcoming her into this new phase of life with heartfelt blessings. As the moment of blessings concluded, Viraj and Virat, unable to contain their excitement, leapt towards Vihaan and Viyansh. Their exuberant jump was filled with enthusiastic cheers and congratulations, making the atmosphere even more lively and celebratory. Vikram watched with amusement as the two younger brothers expressed their joy so energetically. His laughter filled the room, adding to the festive mood and reinforcing the sense of unity and happiness within the family.

Viraj: "Kya news di bhai, so happy for you Congratulations."

(What a news, brother! So happy for you. Congratulations.)

Virat: "Ek aur baby aayega Ghar bhai it will be so much Fun."

(Another baby will be coming to the house, brother. It will be so much fun.)

Viraj and Virat, still brimming with excitement, turned their attention towards Vanshika. With enthusiasm and a sense of reverence, they both knelt down in front of her. Holding her hands in theirs, they looked up at her with beaming smiles and joyful eyes.

Viraj, Virat: "Congratulations bhabhs."

Vanshika, moved by the heartfelt gesture of Viraj and Virat, smiled warmly at them. She gently caressed their cheeks, her touch filled with affection and gratitude. Meanwhile, Viyansh, witnessing the touching moment between his wife and the twins, placed his hand on Vanshika’s head.

Viyansh: "Congratulations Vanshi."

Vanshika: "Thanks Bhai."

As the excitement continued to swirl around the room, everyone’s attention eventually turned to Vaidehi, who was still standing in a state of shock, her expression a mix of surprise and disbelief. Noticing her stunned reaction, Viyansh gently approached her. He placed his hand tenderly on her cheeks and began to caress them with a soothing touch.

Viyansh: "Kya hua jaana??"

(What happened, darling?)

Vaidehi: "Ahhhhhhhhhhh"

As Vaidehi finally began to process the shock of the news, her emotions erupted into a joyful scream. Her reaction was so powerful and unexpected that it caught everyone off guard. In response to the loud and enthusiastic outburst, the family instinctively placed their hands over their ears. Their expressions ranged from surprise to amusement as they listened to Vaidehi’s exuberant reaction. The combined sound of her joyful scream and the family’s playful reaction created a lively and memorable moment.

Viyansh: "Bachcha yaar gala baith jayega araam se bolo."

(Darling, you'll lose your voice. Speak calmly.)

Vaidehi, overwhelmed with joy, began to jump up and down in excitement. However, Viyansh, noticing her exuberance and concerned for her well-being, quickly intervened. He gently but firmly stopped her, placing his hands on her shoulders to steady her. Despite his intervention, Vaidehi, unable to contain her happiness, playfully pushed him aside. Without missing a beat, she swiftly moved to Vanshika and enveloped her in a warm and enthusiastic hug. Her embrace was full of affection and joy, reflecting her deep happiness for the news and her support for Vanshika.

Vaidehi: "Congratulations Vanshiii."

After hugging Vanshika, Vaidehi pulled back with a broad smile, her excitement still evident. Vanshika returned the smile, her happiness mirrored in her expression. Vihaan, standing nearby, cleared his throat to get her attention. Vaidehi, noticing Vihaan’s attempt to re-center the focus, immediately moved towards him and wrapped him in a warm hug.

Vaidehi: "Congratulations Bhai."

Vihaan gently ruffled her hair, a gesture of affection and camaraderie.

Viraj: "Bhabhi maa kitna mazaa aayega na ghar me 2 babies honge."

(Sister-in-law, it will be so much fun with two babies in the house.)

Vaidehi: "Haa na, but Vanshi aap nervous kyu the??"

(Yes, but Vanshika, why were you nervous?)

Vihaan: "Because this idiot was thinking it's too early and you guys wouldn't be happy."

Vikram, observing the emotional and joyous interactions around him, approached Vanshika with a warm and comforting presence. He enveloped her in a gentle hug, offering his support and heartfelt congratulations.

Vikram: "Aap aisa kyu soch rahe the beta? Hum kyu khush nahi hote."

(Why were you thinking like that, child? Why wouldn't we be happy?)

Vanshika: "Sorry papa."

Virat: "Vo sab chodo, it's time for partyyyy."

(Forget all that. It's time for a party!)

"yeahhhhhhhhh"

Caught up in the whirlwind of excitement and joy, Vanshika, Vaidehi, Viraj, and Virat couldn’t contain their enthusiasm any longer. In a burst of shared happiness, they all shouted together, their voices blending in a harmonious expression of celebration.

Vaidehi: "Raj, Veer, let's order a cake. And Vanshika, come on, we have a lot to discuss."

With their excitement and joy still palpable, Vanshika, Vaidehi, Viraj, and Virat moved towards the living room. Their steps were light and their faces were beaming with happiness as they made their way to a more relaxed space. Once in the living room, they began to enjoy each other's company, sharing laughter and engaging in celebratory activities. They embraced the moment fully, whether through playful interactions, heartfelt conversations, or simply reveling in the shared joy of the occasion.

Vihaan: "Bhai in dono ko zara batao ki ye dono pregnant hai."

(Brother, tell these two that they are both pregnant.)

Viyansh and Vikram chuckled.

Vikram: "Relax Vihu, karne de enjoy."

(Relax, Vihaan. Let them enjoy.)

That day, the Singhania family celebrated Vanshika's pregnancy with great enthusiasm. The house was beautifully decorated with vibrant balloons, streamers, and banners, creating a festive atmosphere. A cake was cut, marking the joyous occasion and adding to the celebratory mood. Viraj and Virat, brimming with excitement, took the initiative to start shopping for the new baby. Their enthusiasm was infectious as they picked out baby clothes, toys, and other essentials, contributing to the growing anticipation and joy. Vaidehi and Vanshika, both excited about their pregnancies, began planning how they would enjoy this special time together. They discussed their experiences, shared tips, and made plans for future activities. Vaidehi shared her own experiences from the first three months of her pregnancy, offering valuable insights and advice. As the day came to a close, Viyansh, attentive as always, took Vaidehi for an evening walk. His consideration for her needs and his gentle encouragement helped her stay active, even though she preferred not to walk in the morning. The evening walk was a peaceful and intimate end to a day filled with celebration, as the couple enjoyed the tranquility of the evening together.

As night fell, the room was bathed in a soft, gentle light, creating a serene and intimate atmosphere. Viyansh was propped up on the bed, half lying with a book in his hand, engrossed in its pages. His posture was relaxed, and his focus was on the book, but his presence was a source of comfort for Vaidehi. Vaidehi lay beside him, her head resting comfortably on his chest. She had wrapped her arms around his torso, savoring the warmth and closeness. Her gentle breathing and the rhythm of his heartbeat provided her with a sense of peace and security.

Vaidehi: "Ansh stop, ye book bhi bekaar hai isme bhi nahi bataya ki mera baby bump kab aayega."

(Ansh, stop. This book is useless. It doesn't even say when my baby bump will show.)

Viyansh chuckled softly as he closed the pregnancy book they had been reading. With a gentle movement, he set the book aside and shifted to lie fully on the bed beside Vaidehi. He adjusted his position to be closer to her, ensuring she was comfortably nestled against him. As he joined her, he wrapped his arms around her, pulling her even closer.

Viyansh: "par Jaana doctor ne toh hai na ki 4 months ke baad hi visible hoga toh tumhe kis baat ki jaldi hai??"

(But darling, the doctor said it will be visible after four months. Why are you in such a hurry?)

Vaidehi gazed up at Viyansh, her chin resting gently on his chest. Her eyes were filled with affection as she looked at him, savoring the intimate moment. Viyansh, attentive and loving, stroked her hair softly with one hand, his touch gentle and soothing. With his other hand, he began to caress her cheeks tenderly. His fingers traced the contours of her face, conveying his deep love and care.

Vaidehi: "Par Ansh thoda matlab ittu sa toh dikhna chahiye na, main kab se wait kar rahi hu."

(But Ansh, it should show a little, right? I've been waiting so long.)

Vaidehi, with a playful glint in her eye, demonstrated a small gap between her thumb and index finger. Viyansh, intrigued by her gesture, took her hand gently and placed it back on his chest. He then squeezed her hand tenderly, his touch conveying warmth and affection.

Viyansh: "Don't worry next month se visible hoga okay?? Tum abhi fikr mat karo it's not good for you ab so jao chalo."

(Don't worry. It will be visible from next month, okay? Don't stress. It's not good for you. Now go to sleep.)

Vaidehi settled back into her comfortable position, placing her head on Viyansh's chest once more. Her fingers began to absentmindedly play with the chain around his neck, tracing its links with gentle movements. Viyansh responded to her soothing actions with a sense of calm and tenderness. One hand rested on her waist, providing a comforting presence, while the other gently stroked her head. His touch was meant to lull her into relaxation, a soft, rhythmic gesture that conveyed his care. Despite his efforts to create a tranquil atmosphere conducive to sleep, Vaidehi was in a chatty mood tonight. She enjoyed the conversation, sharing thoughts and feelings in the quiet of the night. Viyansh listened attentively, his attention fully on her, savoring these moments.

Vaidehi: "Aapko pata Ansh Vanshi is one month pregnant. Kitna cute lagega na two two babies roaming around in the house."

(Do you know, Ansh, Vanshika is one month pregnant? How cute will it be to have two babies roaming around the house?)

Viyansh: "Haan Jaan, humari dono betiya sath me khelengi."

(Yes, darling, our two daughters will play together.)

Vaidehi: "Achcha humare baby ka aap sure ho ki baby girl hogi ye baat samajh me aayi mujhe but Vanshi ka baby bhi girl hogi ye kaise pata hai aapko zara batana toh pichle janam ki dai maa."

(How are you so sure that our baby will be a girl? I get that you think our baby will be a girl, but how do you know Vanshika's baby will be a girl too? Were you a midwife in your past life?)

Viyansh chuckled softly at Vaidehi's playful comment. He responded with a gentle pat on her shoulder.

Viyansh: "Vihu ko bhi beti chahiye na jaana isiliye."

(Vihaan also wants a daughter, darling.)

Vaidehi: "The Singhania siblings and their obsession with having daughters."

Viyansh: "I'm not obsessed with having a daughter; I'm obsessed with you. Kaho toh dikhau abhi kitna obsessed hu??"

(Want me to show you how obsessed I am?)

Viyansh, with a mischievous smile, lightly brushed his beard against Vaidehi's cheeks. The sensation of his beard grazing her skin made her feel ticklish, causing her to giggle softly.

Vaidehi: "No, no, no, I'm sleepy. Let me sleep."

As they shared their soft laughter, Viyansh pressed a tender kiss on Vaidehi's forehead. He continued to stroke her hair gently, his movements soothing and calm. Soon, Vaidehi fell asleep peacefully, her breathing steady and relaxed. Viyansh, still awake, looked down at her with a sense of profound love and gratitude. He reflected on the incredible changes in his life over the past 1.5 years, marveling at how much has transformed since Vaidehi entered his life. The thought of their future together, with their little one soon to arrive, filled him with anticipation and joy. Imagining their future as a family, he felt a deep sense of contentment and excitement. Wrapping his arms around Vaidehi in a loving embrace, he held her close, savoring the moment. With his heart full of hope and happiness, Viyansh eventually drifted off to sleep, dreaming of their beautiful future together.
