ZAVIYAAR'S POV:

I woke up at the sound of the alarm. I flickered my eyes, my vision moved to the left side of me. Aaliyana was clinging onto me like a koala bear. I smiled looking at her. She again looked pretty. "When do you not find her pretty?" my mind mocked me. I ignored it. I tried to move but she snuggled more into me and murmured something in her sleep.

Cute.

I guess these days she isn't feeling well, she gets irritated easily. Maybe hormonal changes, but we need to show it to a doctor. Yesterday, when I saw her in the washroom, she was sweating as if she had seen a ghost. "You are no more than a ghost," sometimes I think this mind of mine doesn't belong to me. It hit me I was getting late for the office.

"Aaliyana," I called her. She hummed in her sleep.

"Uth jao, I need to go to the office," I kissed her hair.

(Wake up.)

"Sojao. Zaviyaar," she didn't open her eyes.

(Sleep, Zaviyaar)

Her tight grip on my torso loosened and I made her comfortable in bed and went to the washroom.

I stripped out of my clothes and took a relaxing shower, tied a towel on my waist, and went towards the sink. The sink area has two stations with two sinks; for couples. One of the sides was obviously owned by my prettiest wife Aaliyana and the other by me.

The amount of skincare this girl owns is insane. I was standing in front of my station brushing my teeth when my sight fell on something unfamiliar, on her side. I was done brushing my teeth when I decided to see what it was. Its front side was facing the marble of the shelf.

I picked it up it looked like a highlighter but in a white color with a blue cap. I turned it around and it slipped from my hands, with shivering hands I picked it up. It said pregnant!

Is Aaliyana pregnant? Omg! I'm going to be a Dad. Omgg this ain't real. She's pregnant. Are we going to be parents? Aaliyana and I? Am I dreaming?

Why the hell am I crying? I wiped my tears. Tears are streaming down my face.  Why didn't she tell me till now? Does she know? I decided not to break the news to anyone, until or unless she told me by herself.

Your dadda is excited to meet you little Aaliyana!

I'm on cloud nine. I need to stop crying. I put on my casual clothes and moved out of the closet. I messaged Azlaan that I won't be coming today.

I looked at Aaliyana. She is still sleeping. I moved back into bed and hugged me the moment she fell.

"Kahn chale gaye the ap?" she squints her eyes.

(Where were you?)

"Kahin nhi," I kissed her.

(Here only.)

"Can you massage my head, it's aching," she softly said. How cute!

"Aaliyana do you want anything?" I asked her and she shook her head. When I thought she was asleep again. I lay down beside her and caressed her belly. I couldn't help but feel Happy. Thinking about the bundle of joy that is on its way to us.

"Stop touching my tummy," she snapped.

Got it, earlier pregnancy mood swings.

She got up.

"Where are you going?" I raised my eyebrow.

"I need to get fresh," I nodded. I didn't want to leave her side for a single moment. What if she needs something?

AALIYANA'S POV:

I woke up with him as always, I'm not complaining. I would never but I felt irritated when he touched my tummy. Why did he? I moved towards the shower, I stripped out of my clothes. I looked at myself.

I felt my body was changing. My breasts look big. I don't know why. I feel like I'm bloated. I dusted off the feeling as I was feeling dizzy, I took a quick shower and went out to find the room all cleaned. I smiled at Zaviyaar. He was looking at me. I moved to him and he made me sit on his lap. My hair was still wet.

"Are you okay sweetheart?" he asked, compressing his smile. Is there something I should know?

"No, I feel dizzy," I told the truth. He nodded while taking the comb from my hand and started combing through my hair. GENTLEMAN.

I don't know what got to my mind and I asked him this,

"Zaviyaar ager maine apko chor diya?" I expected him to get angry but he calmly replied to me.

(What if I leave you, Zaviyaar?)

"Meri jaan main apko kabhi chorne hi nhi dunga," that Meri jaan did something to me. Omg these butterflies!

(My love, I'll never let you leave me.)

"Aur agar apne mujhe chor diya?" this question broke my heart.

(What if you leave me?)

"Apne ghar ko kon chorta haii Aaliyana," he said while detangling my hair. I couldn't help but blush at his responses. I pecked his lips.

(No one leaves their home, Aaliyana)

Cutie patootie!

We both went down, it was already noon. I didn't have the will to eat anything but Zaviyaar made me eat a lot more than usual. Huh! I get fat. What if he doesn't like me when I'll get fat? The mere thought of him not liking me made me cry. A sob left my mouth. When he looked at me.

"Aaliyana, why are you crying?" he was worried.

"Will you still love me if I get fat?" I cried.

"Of course Sweetheart," he replied.

"Stop lying, I know you won't," I commented. What is wrong with me?

"Sweetheart," he called.

"Ulle ke phate," I snapped.

(Son of an owl.)

"Ullu ka phata toh cute matlb main apko cute lagta hu," he teased me.

(Son of an owl is cute so you find me cute.)

"Zaviyaar," I curtly called him.

"G Zaviyaar ki sweetheart," he flirted.

"Zaviyaar, stop it," I was getting irritated.

"But Maine toh kuch nhi kiya," he irritated me.

(But I didn't do anything.)

I glared at him.

"Acha sorry Meri jaan ab nhi karta," that's like my good boy. Cutu!

(Okay, my love, I won't do it again.)

"Zaviyaar ap kitne cute ho," I made him look at me in a questioning way. I am going crazy for sure.

(Zaviyaar, you are so cute.)

I called everyone to the hall as I wanted to continue the dance. It hit me, the pregnancy test! It was in the washroom and I wanted to check it. Omg! What if Zaviyaar had seen it? No, no it can't be. If he had seen it then he would have asked me no. A sign of relief washed over me.

What if I'm pregnant? And Zaviyaar doesn't want kids? Tears welled up in my eyes, but I controlled them.

"Aaliyanaaaaa," Noor and Malaika bought me out of my trance. I looked at them and they gave me a well-known look. Yeah! I know I shouldn't have left them last night.

"Acha yarr sorry, I wasn't feeling well," I said. I told the truth I wasn't feeling good though.

"It's okay," they said.

"Guys let's start the dance," I said and Zaviyaar looked at me. I gave him a questioning look.

"Don't tire yourself, Sweetheart," I nodded at him. Zaviyaar has been acting a bit strange since morning. The moment he looks at me he starts smiling.

Is he hiding something? He better not be. I'll kill him! No, no I won't kill him. I love him.

We started the dance on batameez Dil. I wanted Zaviyaar to join but he told me that he'll be back attending a call. I just noticed, why didn't he go to the office? Maybe because he wants to spend time with me. I giggled!

We started dancing on Batameez Dil. Me and never-ending for this song. The movie YJHD; Yeh Jawani hai Dewani has my whole heart. We were dancing when I felt a sharp pain in my head. I stopped dancing and sat on the sofa providing myself with comfort.

"Bhabhi ap theek ho?" Zayyan noticed it and I nodded my head, but I didn't feel okay.

(Sister-in-law, you good.)

Ugh, what the hell is wrong with me? Zayyan went out of the hall where Zaviyaar was. I hope he doesn't tell him, I don't want Zaviyaar to scold me.

AUTHOR'S POV:

Zayyan noticed that Aaliyana didn't seem okay. He asked her too and she said she was okay, but she didn't look okay. Zayyan went to Zaviyaar to tell him that she was not okay.

He went out of the hall and Zaviyaar was ending the call and he told him that she was not looking okay. Then they heard a thug sound.

They ran towards the hall. Aaliyana has fainted. Zaviyaar's heart stopped for a second. He ran towards her and carried her to the room. He called the doctor. Zaviyaar knew she had fainted because of her hormonal changes but still, he was worried for her.

Noor sprinkled some water on her face, she fluttered her eyes. Her vision was all blurry but she could see Zaviyaar standing by her side. She was in her room right now. She tried to clear her vision by blinking her eyes, but it didn't help. She was okay just a few minutes ago, she thought to herself. She closed her eyes.

"Aaliyana please be okay," he whispered pecking her head.

The doctor arrived she sent everyone out of the room even Zaviyaar. He wasn't agreeing but he left as it was for Aaliyana. The lady doctor did her checkup. Aaliyana was looking tired. The doctor had a smile on her. Why is she smiling? Aaliyana's brain thought.

"Aaliyana, how are feeling?" The doctor asked her.

"I don't know in particular how I feel, but these days I feel irritated," Aaliyana told her the issue.

"That is because you are pregnant, Congratulations," the doctor gave her the good news. Aaliyana was speechless, her mind diverted to the kit test, she didn't check as it slipped off her mind.

"You should visit the hospital for a complete checkup," the doctor recommended she nodded.

"Can please not tell anyone? I want to tell them by myself," she requested.

"Yeah, sure. Congratulations and take care of yourself," she moved out of the room. Aaliyana couldn't help but caress her tummy, a smile crept on her lips. She went to the washroom to see the kit.

"Doctor, is she okay? Is there anything to be worried about?" Zaviyaar bombarded the doctor with questions when she walked out.

"Mr. Khan there's nothing to be worried about, just take care of her," she informed him and took a leave.

Zaviyaar felt weird as he thought why didn't the doctor tell him about her pregnancy? Weird!

"Zaviyaar tum Aaliyana ke pass jao," Safiya said to Zaviyaar and he went in.

(Zaviyaar, go to Aaliyana.)

Aaliyana was nowhere but he thought maybe she was in the washroom.

Aaliyana went into the washroom and picked up the pregnancy kit. It said pregnant Aaliyana couldn't help but jump in excitement, but it all faded when Zaviyaar's words echoed in her brain.

"Mom ap bhi, wo toh bacha hai."

(Mom you too, he's just a kid.)

"Why did he say this? What if he doesn't want kids? Zaviyaar you shouldn't have said. You could have stayed quiet, but that wouldn't change the fact that he doesn't want children. My heart is clenching," Aaliyana thought to herself.

Tears started pooling in her eyes and she started sobbing. She always wanted to surprise him whenever she would get pregnant but it all went in vain. She went out, her head tucked down. Zaviyaar was sitting on the sofa looking at her. She moved towards him.

ZAVIYAAR'S POV:

Why is she looking down? Is she okay? Why do I feel like she is crying?

"Aaliyana," I called her and she moved towards me and right beside me with her head tucked down. She sniffed. Omg! She's crying.

"Aaliyana, ap roo kyu rahi ho?" I made her look at me by placing my index finger under her chin. Her teary eyes made contact with mine.

(Why are you crying, Aaliyana?

"Zaviyaar," she cried. I made her sit on my lap.

"Stop crying Sweetheart," I wiped her tears but it wasn't helping. She hid her face in my chest and cried.

"Meri jaan howa kiya hai? Is everything okay?" I asked her and she shook her head. I caressed her hair to calm her down.

(My love, what happened?)

"Zaviyaar, I.. uhm... I," she couldn't complete it.

"Aaliyana phele ap rona band karo warna mujhe kuch hojaye ga," her crying was killing.

(Stop crying Aaliyana, it's doing something to me.)

"Aaliyana, why are you crying?" I was worried.

"Zaviyaar, I know you don't want kids," she cried. What did she just say?! Me? I don't want kids. What's going on in her brain?

"Aaliyana," I called her. She didn't respond but kept on crying. Why does she think this? I guess she just got to know that she's pregnant and she thinks I don't want kids. Omg! No, no.

"Sweetheart," she looked at me. I wiped her tears.

"Stop crying please," I pleaded. She nodded. I kissed her eyes. She smiled, a broken smile.

"Zaviyaar," she said and my heart flipped.

"Aaliyana, I never said that," I looked at her.

"But last night at the table, when Mom said she wants to be a Dadi, you made her quiet," tears pooled in her eyes.

"Omg, sweetheart, I said that because I didn't want you to feel irritated, because you were the one who told me everything was irritating you," I explained. How can she think that?

"You mean that you want kids?" she asked.

"What kind of question is that Aaliyana? Obviously, I want kids," I chirped with happiness. Is she now going to tell me that she's pregnant?

"Zaviyaar, I'm pregnant," she looked at me waiting for my reaction. I had this huge grin on my face and tears formed in my eyes. I already knew but listening to her I felt special.

"I know Sweetheart," I kissed her hair.

"Haww, I even told the doctor not tell to you but she did. How could she? I wanted to be the first one to tell you-

"Kitna bolti ho yarr," I pecked her lips and she blushed.

(You talk too much.)

"Doctor didn't tell me, I saw the kit in the washroom," I revealed. She smiled.

"Zaviyaar, are you happy?" she questioned me.

"Happy? Aaliyana, I can't express my feelings right now. How badly I want to announce to everyone that we are going to be parents, a little Aaliyana will soon join us," I was excited.

"It could be a little Zaviyaar too," she said. I smiled at her, but my instincts said it would be a little Aaliyana.

"Zaviyaar, the doctor said we need to visit her too," she placed her head on my chest.

"And?" I asked.

"She asked me to care for myself," she said, softly while slowly making circles on my chest.

"Aur ab ap apna khyaal rakho gi," I demanded.

(And you'll look after yourself.)

"Nhi ap hona mera khyaal rakhane ke liye," I smiled at her.

(No, you'll do that.)

"Zaviyaar we need to everyone tell too," she looked at me. I nodded.

"I wanted to surprise you but it got spoiled as you got to know before I could do it and because of my crying," she sounded sad.

"You can surprise me next time," she giggled. She didn't even realize I was caressing her tummy all the time.

"Zaviyaar, We are going to be parents. Omg, I can't for your little version," she was excited.

"Thank you Aaliyana," I kissed her forehead.

"Credits to you," she replied.

"We are getting bold aren't we," I teased her.

Aaliyana and I planned to tell everyone by planning a surprise for them. Her mind worked as a machine. She planned everything in 2-3 hours. Aaliyana wanted to go shopping to buy things for the surprise. I told her we would go by tomorrow as I didn't want her to tire herself but Aaliyana wanted to go today, so we are going today.

I took her to the mall, but not before answering everyone's questions about Aaliyana's health. We assured them she was okay and left for the mall. She bought a lot of things, not that I am complaining. I was following like a lost puppy.

We got home and started doing stuff for the surprise. Noor was going back but she stopped her saying she needed to talk to her. Aaliyana was doing something sitting right beside me on the bed when she huffed.

"Kya howa?" I asked her.

(What happened?)

"I'm tired Zaviyaar," she sounded low. I told her that I would help her and she agreed. I would say I wasn't actually helping but doing the whole work, she was just sitting with me, with her head on my shoulder. She was guiding me with all the things, soon we were done with the stuff.

"Now let's go," she was excited. I chuckled and nodded. She ran downstairs, I was holding all the things in my hands.

"Aaliyana, slow down," I shouted. She is careless. First, we went towards Mom and Dad's room as they were there only.

"Aaliyana bache theek ho?" Mom asked and she nodded.

(Aaliyana, my kid, are you okay?)

"Mom and Dad, we have something for you," Aaliyana said and they looked at us. She looked at me and I forwarded a box to them.

"Open it," I said, they opened it and they looked at us. It was a box that had, a small bunny bear; that's what Aaliyana called it, it had a note on it saying "Only best parents get promoted to grandparents" and a small shirt saying "First grandchild" Aaliyana was continuously smiling.

"Oh my goodness, look Aqib I told you no, she is pregnant," Mom said to Dad, he smiled. Aaliyana and I shared a look. We gave them a questioning look.

"Safiya had an idea that Aaliyana is expecting," Dad smiled. Mom and Dad got up, and Mom hugged and kissed Aaliyana's head. Dad hugged me and they congratulated us.

Mom lectured me on how should I take care of her. As I won't do it. Now we moved towards Malaika's room. Zayyan and Noor were there too.

"Omg, look, the romantic couple is here," Maliaka teased us and I rolled my eyes. I don't like it when they tease my sweetheart.

"Guys, we have something for you," Aaliyana said. I handed the two boxes and one bag.

"Open," she said. The boxes were for Malaika and Noor. It had a mug saying "Only the best friends get promoted to aunties" and the bag was for Zayyan, it had a baby romper, Aaliyana told me, saying "Surprise you are going to be a babysitter, I mean an uncle," the word babysitter had a cross on it. Aaliyana was excited to give it to Zayyan. I shook my head at her antics.

"Omg, I knew it," Noor said. Hn human chor ke sabko pata tha.

(Everyone knew it except us.)

"WHAT?!" Malaika's shock was quite evident.

"Maine toh kal raat ko hi kaha tha chachu bana do, Kya fast service hai apki bhai," this boy needs a filter for his mouth. Aaliyana was happy all the time and I was happy because she was happy.

(Brother you have a fast service.)

The trio congratulated us and we moved towards the room. Aaliyana went to the washroom and she came back after a while. I was lying on the bed. She picked up the pillow and threw it at me.

"We need to go Mama's hurry up get up," she ordered and I nodded.

We got down and told Mom and Dad that we were going, and we settled in the car. This distance was a mere 15 minutes. We were greeted by Mama and Baba.

"Kitne dono baad ai ho," Mama said and hugged her. We got seated in the hall, I was talking to Baba. She said something and our attention was diverted toward her.

(You came after a while.)

"Mama and Baba, I have a surprise for you guys," she picked up the box from the center table of the hall.

"Open it," she chirped with happiness. She moved towards me and made Mama and Baba sit together. The box had small boots and a note saying "Grandma and Grandpa keep my booties safe, I will need them soon." They looked at us and Mama started crying.

"Arrey Mama ais main rone wali kya baat hai," Aaliyana hugged her and Dad hugged me.

(There's nothing to cry about.)

He congratulated me. Seeing Mama cry, I couldn't help but think of Aaliyana crying this morning. I smile. I saw the way Mama was telling her to take care of herself as she is careless. Aaliyana was quietly listening to her. She asked her about Daniyal and Ahmed. They were in their rooms. She called them down.

"Aaliyana tum phr agai," Daniyal teased her.

(You came again.)

"Aaliyana ko kuch na khena," Baba scolded him. She showed him her tongue. How can someone say this girl right here is going to be a Mom soon? I shook my head. She got up and gave them the bags, they had the same baby romper as we gave to Zayyan.

"You got so big," Ahmed had tears in his eyes. Daniyal hugged me.

"Ab thori mature hoja," Daniyal hugged her. Ahmed hugged me.

(Act mature now.)

It was almost night so Mama didn't let us leave before having food. Aaliyana didn't want to eat but obviously, we forced her. Now we were again in the hall, and she was sitting with me.

"Ghar chalein?" she asked.

(Let's go home.)

"Mera ghar toh ap ho," I said, I mean where's the lie?

(You are my home.)

Soon we went back home and moved towards our room.

"Aaliyana are you tired?" I asked her and she nodded. I lay down in bed with her. She snuggled into me.

"I love you Zaviyaar," she said.

"I love you more sweetheart," I said.
