Chapter 56-Chapter 60

Chapter 56

 

            Life has been going great for the three couples. Usually after a hard day at work, they would come home and have nice romantic dinners. Romance is definitely in the air. However, recently Anjali and Kripa have been feeling rather sick.

On this particular day, Kripa can barely make it out of bed. Angad suggests, "Krips how about you stay home and I'll have Kavya help me out for today since he is off today…" All Kripa can get out is a weak, "Mhmm" Angad kisses her forhead and leaves to call Kavya. Kavya picks up the phone, "Hey what's up man?" Angad replies, "Hey I need a favor, can you help me out at the office because Kripa isn't feeling too well…" Kavya agrees, "Of course I'll see you in your office! I'll get Anjali to take care of Kripa." Angad says, "Thanks man! And thank Anju for me! meet me outside in a few alright!"

Kavya and Angad go to the office while, Anjali comes over to the Khanna House to take care of Kripa. Anjali soon gets a telephone call from Mukti. Meanhwhile Kripa gets a call from Aaliya. In the middle of both their conversations Kripa and Anjali both start screaming, "OH MY GOD NO FREAKING WAY!! CONGRATULATIONS!" They both hang up and tell each other at the same time, "SHE IS PREGNANT!" The girls get a silly smile on their face. Kripa laughs, "You know Aaliya's been pregnant since they got drunk and married." Anjali gasps, "NO WAY, that's when Mukti got pregnant too!" Kripa laughs then starts to feel dizzy again so Anjali tells her to rest a bit.

After a lot of persistence from Anjali's side, she is able to get Kripa in a car long enough to go drive down to Prachi's office. Prachi walks into the room surprised to see Anjali and Kripa in the room. Prachi says, "Hey kya hua? Anything happen at home?" Anjali says, "No Prachi, Kripa isn't feeling well so I thought you could check her out." Prachi nods and heads to Kripa, "Di what happened?" Kripa says slowly, "Umm well I've been getting really tired, fraustrated, and really stressed at work. I've been getting headaches a lot because of it. Oh and last night Angad and I went out to eat at a restaurant and when I came home I threw up everything and then again this morning." Anjali nods her head and says to Prachi, "You know I've been like that lately too" Kripa nods and then continues, "Right now I feel so dizzy and I feel like I'm gonna throw up… and I uhh I haven't had my umm monthly visitor yet…"

Prachi gasps while Anjali nervously looks to her feet saying, "I haven't either…" Prachi quickly dashes to the cabinet and pulls out two test sticks. Kripa and Anjali gasp as they see what Prachi has given them. Kripa asks, "You think we are pregnant?" Prachi slowly says, "Only one way to find out…" Anjali and Kripa turn to Prachi saying, "Fine if we have to check then we want you to check yourself too!" Prachi laughs, "Guys I think me being a gynecologist that I would know if I'm pregnant or not…" Kripa and Anjali don't look convinced so Prachi grabs a stick for herself and they head towards the bathroom. Soon after they get out from their bathroom stall, they all put their sticks aside to wait for the results. Meanwhile Prachi suggests they get some blood drawn to be completely sure if they are pregnant or not.

Fifteen minutes later, the girls stand around holding the sticks in hand yelling, "OH MY GOD! We are all… we are all pregnant…" Kripa smiles quite widely, while all Prachi can say is, "How… How did I not notice… I'm…I'm a gynecologist… y-you would think I'm an expert at detecting this… I CAN'T EVEN DO MY OWN JOB RIGHT!" Prachi starts crying while Kripa holds her whispering, "Prachi you're a great doctor, maybe you just didn't want to believe it yet…" Kripa looks over at Anjali for some support however Anjali is completely frozen in place. All Anjali can think about is what is going to happen to her modeling career. Sure Anjali loves children, but this is going to strongly affect her career. She wanted to be happy, but she just wasn't sure about the future. The girls all decide they need to go home, rest, and figure out how to tell their husbands.

Prachi sits in her room thinking about the baby growing inside of her. She can't help, but feel excited about her own child being brought into the world. Suddenly anxiety fills her as she thinks, "What if Neev doesn't want a child right now?" She certainly did not think it would happen so soon, but it had. Sure they had talked about having children in the future, but they had never planned for it this soon. Prachi nearly jumps as she hears the door open and in walks a very agigtated Neev. He yells, "Prachi you never told me you left the hospital! How could you leave without telling me?" Prachi doesn't understand why he is so mad, but can't hold back her own tears. She starts crying violently while Neev panics. He sits on the bed and pulls her into his arms letting her head rest against his chest. He runs his hands through her hair and whispers, "I'm sorry for yelling jaan, I was just really worried about you! Shhh don't cry, I'm sorry... Aacha batao aise kyun chor ke aagaye wapas ghar? Kya tum mujse naaraz ho?" Prachi wipes her tears and shakes her head 'no'. Neev lifts her chin and says, "Toh phir kya hua?" Prachi says softly, "Woh Kripa aur Anjali office mein aaye the, isliye…" Neev nods, "Anything else?" Prachi nods while Neev asks, "Kya?"

Prachi readjusts herself in his lap so she can look into his eyes and says, "Tum papa bane wale ho!" Neev laughs, "Prachi dekho mujhe aisa maazak bilkul pasand nahin hain, phir aisa mat karna!" Prachi pushes him away annoyed and says, "Neev mein maazak nahin kari... kya sooch rahe ho?" Neev gets up and turns to face Prachi yelling, "Prachi we aren't ready to have a baby! I'm not ready to be a father! We aren't mature enough! We act like four year olds, we can't raise a child!" Prachi looks at him hurt and tears well up in her eyes. Neev's eyes grow wide as he sees her about to burst into tears. He jumps on the bed pinning Prachi underneath him and he begs, "Oh God Prachi please don't cry mein toh sirf maazak kara ha! I swear I was only joking!" Prachi looks at Neev and asks through her tears, "Maazak tha?" Neev nods as if trying to convince himself and Prachi. Prachi cries into his arms, "Phir aisa mat karna! Tum saach mein khush ho na?" Neev nods, "Bahut!" He manages to convince Prachi he is happy, now only if he could convince himself.

Anjali paces around her room thinking about how this will change her life forever. She feels like her life is going in the opposite direction of what she really wants. She always wanted to be a famous model, but now she isn't sure if she will be able to ever look the same, not the mention it would take a lot of effort to try to get back into shape. She won't be able to take care of a baby and concentrate on getting her figure back. There is just so much to deal with, but she doesn't know whether she is actually happy or if she is sad. Anjali's thoughts are interrupted when a very tired Kavya walks through the doors. Anjali is standing in front of her window when she feels Kavya's arm wrap around her, landing on top of her stomach—where ironically enough their child is growing. Anjali leans back against Kavya and feels his lips drag over her neck. Anjali turns around and kisses Kavya gently on the lips. She puts her arms around his neck and begins, "Kavya I have something to tell you…" Kavya guesses, "That you love me? That you can't live without me? …No? Umm that you uhhh… Okay I'm out of guesses, tell me."

Anjali says slowly, "Kavya I'm… I'm pregnant" His eyes grow wide along with the smile on his face. He falls to his knees screaming and punching the air above, "YES!!!! I'm gonna be a father!! Anjali I love you soooooo… What's wrong?" Noticing Anjali's emotionless face, worry takes over him. He asks, "Anjali what's wrong? Aren't you happy?" Anjali bursts, "No I'm not happy Kavya! I didn't want a child this early, I have barely begun my career and it's already over!" Kavya looks taken back and a little hurt, "So what are you saying…" Anjali says, "Look Kavya I love you very much, but I mean we can start a family later so what's the rush?" Kavya looks shocked and angered, "Are you suggesting an abortion?" Anjali slowly replies, "I don't know…" Kavya roars, "Are you out of your mind? How can you even think about killing your own child? THIS IS OUR CHILD ANJALI—MINE AND YOURS! I… I can't even look at you right now! I-I need some air…" Kavya leaves through the door ignoring all of Anjali's protests.

 

**********

Kripa stands in front of the mirror staring at her reflection, well more so her stomach. She couldn't help but wonder what she would look like fully pregnant. She is so enthralled about her pregnancy that she fails to notice Angad enter the room. He smirks as he watchs his beautiful wife checking herself out. He slowly creeps behind her and picks her up in his arms. Kripa lets out a loud squeal of excitement as she throws her arms around Angad, giving him a heartwarming kiss. He gently places her on the bed and hovers over body. She looks into those passionate eyes and said, "I have a surprise for you" Angad grins, "Can it wait because I'm kind of in the middle of something?" Kripa smacks his arm and he laughs. He then sighs and collapases beside her, asking, "So what's the surprise? Are you gonna model lingerie for me? Because that would be HOT!" Kripa frowns thinking, "He has such a one track mind!"

Kripa rolls her eyes in attempts to dismiss his question and sits up facing Angad. He props himself on his elbows and raises his eyebrow as if asking her to explain for the interruption of his little agenda. Kripa sits there silently trying to find the right words to say. Angad gets annoyed and pulls Kripa back on top of him. He asks, "You were saying baby?" Kripa gives him a light kiss and murmurs against his lips, "We're having a baby…" Angad whispers, "That's nice…" He starts kissing her neck, not processing what she just said. As soon as he figures out what his wife told him, he asks, "Wait what did you say?" Kripa tries to hide her amusement at her husband's cluelessness. She takes his hand and places it on her stomach. Angad smiles widely and softly kisses her stomach, trying to show his little one a bit of affection for coming into their lives.

 

Chapter 57

 

Kavya never returned home last night, instead he goes for a long drive and endsup at Lover's Point. He strolls around remembering the day he and Anjali professed their love for one another. He sits on the same cliff they had sat on and he thinks about how selfish Anjali is being and trying to calm down his own anger enough to talk, heck to even look at her. Kavya had fallen asleep in his car last night instead of going home. Anjali was a complete mess last night, crying about Kavya, about the baby, about her career. It all just didn't seem fair to her. Anjali decides in the morning she needs someone to talk to, so she decides to talk to Prachi at the hospital.

Prachi had somehow managed to convince Neev that she is okay enough to go to work. Anjali enters Prachi's clinic and finds that Prachi is with a patient. Anjali decides to walk around the floor and accidently stumbles over a room where another gynecologist is performing an ultrasound on a woman who looked ready to pop any time now. Anjali can hear the heartbeat loudly and clearly of the woman's baby. Her own hand instinctively falls upon her own stomach. Anjali lets a small tear escape her eye at the thought that she was going to abort her own child. She suddenly feels so angry at herself for having even considered it. She forces herself to continue walking until she hears a woman practically begging her doctor, "Please Dr. Kapoor there must be some way for you to save my baby! Please save my child! She is only a couple days old! Please do something!" The doctor answered, "We are trying our best Ms. Singh" The woman continues to plead with the doctor to save her child. Anjali feels even guiltier for thinking about aborting her baby. Anjali continues walking down the corridor and finds the baby nursey with about thirty newborns. Anjali starts smile as she sees a little baby smile at her.

Anjali turns around and bumps into Prachi. Anjali explains that she needs to talk to someone. Anjali goes with Prachi to private room and fills her in about her fight with Kavya along with her hopes and dreams. Prachi is shocked that Anjali had even considered something so drastic, but could understand where she was coming from because it had been her life long dream to be a model. Prachi is silent for a minute and then she suddenly has a brilliant idea. Prachi says, "What about clothes Anju? I mean you have always had a good fashion sense so why not take a little break from modeling and pursue a career in fashion designing. I heard from Kripa you do a fantastic job at helping the fashion designers at Khash. Then after you have the baby, you can start getting back into shape and pursue modeling." Anjali carefully considers that and says, "That's not a bad idea actually I mean I always have been into designing and I have made a terrible mistake in being so selfish. I get it now that this is our child, I mean my own blood. I guess I never fully grasped what it meant to be pregnant…Oh God I have hurt Kavya so much! You should have seen the look on his face Prachi, he was so hurt! He didn't even want to look at me anymore!" Prachi gives the teary eyed girl a hug saying, "Anju it's alright, just talk to him and I'm sure he will understand! I know my brother, he will come around!" Anjali quickly hugs Prachi whispering, "You know you really are smart! Thanks for helping!!" Prachi says, "Anytime Anju! That's what friends are for!" Anjali quickly leaves.

As soon as Kripa and Angad return home, Angad sets out to find Neev, whereas Kripa tries to find Prachi. Kripa finds Prachi in her bedroom. Prachi and Kripa fill each other in about Neev and Angad's reactions to the news, along with filling Kripa in about Anjali and Kavya's situation. Angad finds Neev in the living room watching television so he decides to join him. Angad notices that Neev isn't really paying attention to the television and is actually staring off into space. Angad asks, "Neev what's wrong man?" Neev says slowly, "Prachi is pregnant!" Angad chokes on his water saying, "Congrats man and even you are gonna be an uncle!" Neev looks shocked, "Wait Kripa is pregnant too?" Angad nods. Neev says slowly, "Angad I don't think I'm ready to be a father" Angad replies, "Don't worry you'll be a great father I know it! Besides you were able to become a surgeon, even though a lot of people didn't think you could." Neev shrugs, "Yea, but without Prachi I wouldn't have been able to become a surgeon!" Angad says reassuringly, "Prachi will always be with you! Plus you got me, Krips, Anju, and Kavya! Don't stress about it too much! You'll be a great dad and an awesome uncle!" Neev laughs, "I hope so, Thanks man I needed that little pep talk!" Angad laughs, "Yea more like you just wanted to inflate your already inflated ego!" Neev laughs, "My inflated ego? You're joking right! You're ego is so huge it has its own area code!"

Before Angad can retort, Kavya bursts through the Khanna House and plops himself on the couch with Angad and Neev. Kavya looks completely exhausted. Before Angad and Neev even have a chance to ask Kavya says, "Anjali's pregnant." Neev and Angad says, "Her too?" Kavya looks at the both of them strangely asking, "Wait Prachi and Kripa are also pregnant?" Angad and Neev nod. Kavya smacks his forehead, "Ok well atleast tell me they don't want an abortion!" Angad and Neev stand up yelling, "Hell no!" Kavya sighs, "Good, because Anjali does…" Angad and Neev yell, "What? Do you know what you're saying?" Kavya looks at the both of them annoyed, "Yes I know what I'm saying! She's too worried about being a freaking model then to care about our child that's growing inside her! I don't know what to do! I took off last night after I yelled at her. I want to talk to her calmly but even the thought of her reminds me that she cares more about her career than our child…" Angad says, "I can't believe Anju would even think about it! Look man, just try to rationalize with her, she's just a little upset right now but I'm sure she will cool down! Meanwhile YOU need to cool down and talk to her… NOT YELL BUT TALK!" Kavya nods and gets up from the couch to go home and talk to Anjali.

Anjali sits in her room sobbing on the bed when Kavya comes in. He sits on the bed and notices Anjali's swollen red eyes. Anjali sniffles, "I'm sorry Kavya!" She then breaks into violent sobs. Kavya puts his feelings aside and encircles her in his arms while cradeling her. Anjali says, "I'm sorry I was so selfish Kavya, I'm sorry I even thought about aborting our child! I never meant to hurt you! Kavya you're more important to me than a stupid job, and this baby, our baby is more important than a stupid job." Kavya says, "I'm sorry too! I should have tried to understand! Are you sure you're okay with this?" Anjali nods while wiping her tears away and replies, "I think I gonna try to pursue fashion designing, I mean I'm good at that and I like it too! Then when I able to look like my old self again, I'll try modeling again…" Kavya smiles, "I'm so proud of you Anju! You're going to be a great mother, I just know it!" Anjali hugs Kavya tighter, "I hope so, but I know one thing… that you're already an amazing father!" Kavya whispers, "Hey did you know Kripa and Prachi are pregnant?" Anjali nods, "Yup we found out all together! Guess what so are Aaliya and Mukti!" Kavya laughs, "Whoa really? I think we do too much stuff as a group!" Anjali laughs, "True, but there is never a dull moment with all of us!"

 

**********

The gang finally breaks the news of the pregnancy when the blood reports come back from the lab confirming that all three were in fact pregnant. Their parents are quite ecstatic that there would be three little grandchildren for them to play with in around eight months. Suprisingly, their delievery days are pretty close to each other… who would have thought?

 

Chapter 58

3 months later…

 

Angad, Kavya, and Neev have been taking good care of their wives, who are a little over three months pregnant now. Kripa, Anjali, and Prachi have been forced by their husbands to take maternity leave as of last week so that they can take care of themselves at home. It is currently the weekend, and the guys have decided to take a day off of work to spend some time to hang out with everyone like they all used to before life happened. Neev suggests watching a movie at home and ordering some food, which sounds like a well-rounded plan to all.

Everyone comes over to the Khanna House, while Naina and Dilip have been invited over at the Sharma House to have dinner. The gang all gathers around the television, getting comfortable with their significant other on the couches. The lovebirds all grab their own loveseat, with the wives leaning back against their husbands' chest. Angad asks, "So Kavya what'd you bring to watch?" Kavya says smiling evilly, "Disturbia" Angad and Neev give him an approving nod, while girls try their best to hide their fear.

As soon as the movie starts Kripa whispers to Angad, "Baby can you get me some ice cream?" Angad nods kissing her forehead, "Sure Krips" Kripa pulls him back, "Wait! I want chocolate syrup on it too!" Angad nods and starts to get up, but stops as he hears her say, "Also could you heat the chocolate syrup… like make it really hot!" Angad looks at Kripa cocking an eyebrow like she is nuts, but then simply nods. Kripa stops him again saying, "Oh oh! Could you also put a cherry on it and also some of yesterday's brownies! Umm and maybe some chocolate sprinkles…umm okay I think that's it, Thanks babe!" Angad looks at her with wide eyes and then just darts out the room before Kripa decides to add something else to the list of ingredients. Angad thinks to himself, "What ever happened to old fashioned PLAIN ice cream…women!"

 Anjali sees Angad bringing Krips a whole brownie sundae and decides to bug Kavya to bring her food as well. Anjali whispers, "Kavya could you bring me some food too?" Kavya, who is way into the movie, says in an irritated tone, "Anju just get it yourself…" In a split second, Kavya realizes what he just said and his head snaps back to Anjali. Kavya quickly adds, "I-I w-was only joking… really! What did you want to eat Anju?" Anjali glares at Kavya, while he hopes for his life that she disregards his moment of stupidity for the sake of food. Anjali said, "I want some cake!" Kavya says slowly, "Umm I don't think they have cake here Anju…" Anjali glares, "You don't think they have cake? Well how about you GO CHECK instead of making stupid assumptions!" Kavya sprints out the room cursing Anjali's mood swings. Kavya checks the fridge and sadly, enough there is no cake. Kavya hesitantly walks back to Anjali and whispers, "There isn't any cake here Anju…" Anjali says, "Well there is some at home so go get me some!" Kavya looks at her as if she is crazy while saying, "Home? You want me to go home to get cake?" Kavya sees enough of her glare to get up and run out the door to get her the cake.

Now after Prachi sees Anjali and Kripa devouring their food Prachi turns to Neev. She whispers, "Will you get me some chips?" Neev nods and hands her the bowl on the table. Prachi looks at Neev annoyed and says, "No Neev I want really spicy chips! These are too bland!" Neev sighs and goes to the kitchen and comes back with three different types of chips. Prachi shakes her head saying, "No Neev I want spicy chips! These are all disgusting!" Neev looks at her weirdly, "But yesterday you ate two huge bags of potato chips!" Prachi looks at Neev annoyed and says, "Well now I want SPICY chips!!" Neev panics and runs to the kitchen. He grabs some seasoning and dumps a bunch of it in the chips. He gives it to Prachi who seems quite delighted with the mixture. Prachi offers Neev a taste and he nearly vomits at the awful combination. He cannot help but stare at his wife in disgust while she happily eats the sickening chips.

The guys are barely able to enjoy the movie because of all the running around due to their wives' cravings. The guys are quite disappointed that their wives aren't at all the terrified and actually enjoyed the movie. Soon the pizza arrives after the movie and as soon as the girls catch sight of the pizza, they all sprint in different directions straight into a bathroom and start to vomit. The boys quickly run after them to make sure they feel alright. Eventually the girls come back into the livingroom. Angad says, "Okay lets eat!" The girls make a disgusted face and announce they can't eat pizza. Prachi says, "Eww I feel like I'm going to vomit! I can't eat pizza!" Neev asks, "But I thought you wanted pizza… you girls said to order it before the movie started…" Anjali interrupts, "Yea but that was like an hour ago! It's making me want to hurl, get it away!" Kavya looks shocked, "But I thought you loved pizza…" Kripa says, "Guys we do like pizza, it's just right now it makes us want to vomit all over again!" Angad asks, "Ok so what do you guys want?" The girls say together, "We want to go to a Chinese restaurant!" The guys sigh and they all grab their coats to go to a restaurant.

 As soon as they arrive at the restaurant, they are quickly seated in a large group. A young waitress comes to the table and looks seductively at the boys and shoots annoyed glares at the girls. The woman speaks to guys saying, "Hi what can I get you guys and your sisters?" The boys spit out their water and quickly turn their gaze to their wives, who are having a glaring contest with this woman. Neev gets a deathly glare from Prachi and quickly says to the waitress, "They're our wives, not our sisters!" The woman eyes the girls saying, "Oh sorry my mistake, it's just you all look so much alike. Just like brother and sister!" The girls are ready to retort, but are cut off by the mention of food. The boys start to check out the waitress only to annoy their wives, but as soon as they catch sight of their wives' intense glare they quickly turn their gaze to the menu instead. After everyone gives their orders to the tramp of a waitress, she still continues to flirt with the guys. Kripa snaps at the woman, "Could you stop eyeballing my husband and get our **** order!" Angad smirks and bites back his laughter as he hears Kripa's possessiveness. The waitress looks quite offended and stalks off. Angad mumbles to the guys, "I bet she will spit in Kripa's food for that!" The guys laugh while the girls continue to glare and slump back into their chairs.

When the food arrives, the girls quickly dig in as if they had been starved for months. The boys can only watch the girls shove food down their throats as if their life depends on it. Kavya whispers to the guys, "Do you think we eat like that?" Angad and Neev suddenly look sick to their stomachs, "I hope not! I don't know how they could have married us if we did… They are eating like there is no freaking tomorrow!" Kavya whispers, "Shhhh don't let them hear you or that piece of chicken in their hands will be us!" The guys attention quickly snaps onto their own food and they start eating, trying not to look at their wives, who are acting like hungry wildebeests.

The waitress comes back asking the guys, "Do you guys want anything else?" The boys awkwardly shake their heads 'no'. The waitress whispers to the guys, "If you ever get rid of your wives, give me a call!" The boys look at her worriedly and then back at their wives who are holding onto their butter knives tightly. Anjali says, "WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?" Kripa says angrily, "LADY HOW ABOUT WE TAKE THIS OUTSIDE?" Prachi adds, "You're really starting to piss me off YOU *****!" Everyone turns their attention to Prachi, who would normally never say such a thing to anyone, like EVER. Neev slowly says, "Prachi you called her a…" Prachi snaps, "I know what I called her!" Kripa adds, "Hey you wanna piece of me? Come on chump!" Angad quickly grabs onto Kripa before she lunges herself at the waitress. Angad whispers, "Krips you're pregnant! I don't think it's the ideal time to be trying to pound her face in!" Anjali notices the woman is still standing there dreading her life as she looks at Kripa. Anjali yells, "Why the hell are you still standing here? SHOOO FLY SHOOO!!" The waitress darts out of there.

Kripa, Anjali, and Prachi start laughing sadistically. Kripa says, "Oh man that was sick! I never felt so good telling someone off before!" The girls walk towards the car, leaving the boys to talk amongst themselves. Kavya whispers, "Was that a cackle? Where they just cackling? These girls are starting to freak me out with their mood swings!" Neev says grinning, "Speak for yourself, I never saw Prachi that mad before… is it wrong to be turned on by that?" Angad laughs, "I think we all got turned on by that little ahem display of affection… If they weren't pregnant I would gladly have unleashed Kripa onto that waitress. God that waitress was annoying!" Kavya laughs, "You're telling me, she kept twitching her eye at me…" Neev looks confused while Angad laughs, "Dude she was trying to wink!" The guys all laugh and join their sadistic wives by the car, giving them a long passionate kiss to thank them for the pure entertainment.

 

**********

As days the progressed, the guys were able to take care of their wives and had to ensure them of their undying affection all the time. The only thing that got them through their wives' tantrums would be the fact that they were completely responsible for their state, that their wives would have to go through immense pain to bring their children into this world, and that they were doing this all for their future, their very own children.

 

Chapter 59

3 months later…

 

By now, the girls are now more than six months pregnant. Today their parents' friends have invited them all to a dinner party. It is quite a fancy dress party, so the girls are quite excited about being able to dress up after such a long time. The girls are upset about the fact that they have not been out of the house in quite a long time. Now the guys defense seems to be that the girls never asked and well it is obvious the girls aren't happy with that response. The girls have begun to feel a bit more insecure with their husbands, like they have never felt before in their relationships.

In Neev and Prachi's room, Prachi is standing in front of her mirror staring at her reflection. Prachi places a hand on her big stomach and soon feels Neev's hand come around her while resting his chin on her shoulder. Neev whispers, "So ready for the party?" Prachi pouts, "No Neev I'm not! Main kya painu?" Neev kisses her cheek whispering, "Kuch bhi painlo jaan!" Prachi looks at Neev angrily, "You don't care about me anymore!" Neev looks at her shocked, "What? Of course I do" Prachi starts to tear up and yells, "No, you don't because I'm as big as a house! Ab tum muhjse pyaar nahin karte aur tum muhje chordoge!" Prachi starts crying, while Neev panics. Neev curses under his breath, "Crap, why do I keep walking into that!" Neev looks over to see Prachi sitting on the bed, rubbing her swollen stomach as she cries. Neev rushes over and stands on his knees in front of her, wiping her tears. He says softly, "Hey, Prachi I love you jaan! Tum aise kaise sooch sakti ho ke main tumhe kabhi chordonga? Aisa kabhi nahin ho sakta! You're beautiful Prachi, in fact you look even more beautiful now! Aur waise bhi main chata hoon ke tum yeh dress paino, for me please!" Prachi looks at the box Neev has handed her, and finds a beautiful light pink dress with black laces. Prachi tears up, "Neev I'm sorry, I-I just… I-It's beautiful!" Neev smiles and kisses her forehead. Then both freshen up to get ready for the party. Prachi wears the new dress, while Neev wears a black suit with pink and black shirt.

 

**********

 In Kavya and Anjali's room, Anjali stands in front of her closet looking at all her clothes and then down at her swollen stomach, sighing. Anjali runs her fingers through her old clothes and soon feels a hand on top of her own. She turns around a little startled and finds Kavya looking at her lovingly. Anjali perks up as she feels Kavya kiss her stomach and talk to their baby within. Anjali suddenly frowns remembering she is supposed to be mad at him and turns away. Kavya laughs at her random mood swings and whispers, "You're mad at me. Ab kya kardiya maine?" Anjali angrily says, "You finally found time to entertain you're PREGNANT wife! I didn't even see you the whole day yesterday! When I woke up yesterday you were gone and when I went to sleep last night, you weren't there! You weren't even there when I woke up today" Kavya whispers, "I'm sorry Anju, I didn't want to disturb you in the morning yesterday. You know I've been helping Angad at the office. We got home late yesterday night and you were already asleep. Then this morning you looked so cute sleeping, I didn't want to wake you up!" Anjali snaps, "Well I would have liked to know you came home at all! You could have called!" Kavya waves her phone in front of her, "You're phone is on silent Anju, I left you like ten messages! Plus you know the house phones are messed up." Anjali looks tongue tied, "Well… well I-I don't know! I missed you Kavya, didn't you miss me… like at all?" Kavya pulls her into a hug, "Of course I did! I love you Anju! I went this morning to get you something…here!" Anjali looks at the gift and pulls out a silvery grayish dress with black velvet laces. Anjali gasps in delight and clutches Kavya, trailing kisses all over his face. He laughs, "So I take it you like the dress." Anjali smiles widely and goes to change into her new dress, while Kavya wears a silky silvery grayish shirt with a black suit.

 

**********

In Angad and Kripa's room, Kripa is staring at her cell phone hoping for Angad to call. Soon the door opens and Angad enters the room casually greeting, "Hey Krips!" Kripa snaps, "Don't hey Krips me! Where have you been? I have been calling you for the past two hours!" Angad looks at her questioningly and confused so he reaches in his jeans pocket. He groans replying, "Krips I'm sorry, my phone was on silent last night and I forgot to change it… sorry." Kripa fumes in anger, "You were with her weren't you?" Angad cocks his eyebrow folding his arms across his chest, "Who?" Kripa snaps, "Don't get cute with me! I mean your assistant! You were with her weren't you?" Angad sighs running his hands through his hair, "God Krips, no I wasn't with her!" Kripa yells, "Yes you were! Why else would you leave the house at 9 in the morning?" Angad groans not being able to stand her suspicion, "Krips look, I love you babe! You mean the world to me! Do you honestly think that I would cheat on you for her? You're everything I want and more!" Kripa seems at a loss of words, "Well I just thought… I'm sorry for overreacting Angad! But then where were you?" Angad pulls Kripa into his lap carefully and gives her box wrapped in pretty pink paper. Kripa looks at Angad shocked for getting her a gift and her eyes soften at his kind gesture. Kripa opens the box to find a silky royal blue dress, which causes Kripa to tear up. Kripa throws her arms around Angad crying, "You're too good to me Angad, I don't deserve you! Look at all the horrible things I said to you! I'm really sorry!" Angad kisses her lips briefly, "Shhh it's alright babe, it's not your fault! It happens when woman are pregnant, trust me I don't hold it against you at all!" Kripa leans back into Angad's chest letting the moment sink in before getting ready for the party. Angad wears a black suit with a silky royal blue shirt to match his ladylove.

The three couples enter the party with their parents. Everyone comes to congratulate Kripa, Anjali, and Prachi for their pregnancies along with their husbands. The girls start talking with the rest of the young women, while the guys head towards the bar to get a little to drink in order to make this gathering a little more bearable. Angad starts pointing out people to Kavya and Neev that work or are in some way related to their fashion house. Kripa notices Angad pointing to people. When she follows his gaze, she sees a woman who is passing by. Kripa fumes thinking the guys are checking out women. Her suspicions are confirmed as she sees the boys discussing her in full detail, with hand motions and everything. It's too bad she doesn't know they were pointing out men and not women. She pulls Anjali and Prachi closer and describes in full detail what the boys are doing. The girls watch their husbands like hawks. Suddenly three pretty women come up behind Angad, Kavya, and Neev to order drinks. The three women, catch sight of the three gorgeous men at the bar and start giggling.

The first of the three women, approaches Neev. The woman taps on Neev's shoulder, which causes him to turn around. Before she can even get out a word Neev says, "Don't even think about it." The woman disregards his comment and says, "Hi I'm Jiya!" Neev says with a bored look, "And I'm not interested!" She looks at him shocked saying, "No one has EVER turned me down! Are you gay?" Neev says with the same bored tone, "Sure, if that's what helps you sleep at night! I mean that has to be the ONLY explanation right. Anyways just stay away from me!" Neev knows Prachi is quite insecure these days and he did not need this woman making matters worse. The woman looks at Neev astounded, while he walks towards Prachi, taking her hand in his and pressing his lips to her hand. The woman leaves to find her next prey in a huff, while Prachi forgets her anger from before because of his sweet gesture.

The second woman approaches Kavya with a 'come hither' look. Kavya nearly laughs seeing this woman's eagerness. The woman says seductively, "Hi." Kavya looks to the side to laugh and then turns back to her saying, "Hey." Kavya looks at his glass as if it is the most fascinating thing in the world. The woman says, "Can I buy you a drink?" Kavya laughs nearly choking on his drink saying, "Hun, the drinks are free!" The woman frowns in embarrassment. Kavya says whispering in her ear softly, "Don't waste your time, I'm married! If my wife catches you anywhere near me, you'll be in trouble!" The woman laughs, "So are you happily married?" Kavya laughs, "I suggest you give it a rest!" The woman looks offended and watches as Kavya clinks his glass with hers, then walking away to his glowing wife.

The third woman taps Angad on the shoulder saying, "Hey gorgeous!" Angad flashes his famous smirk, "Do I know you?" The woman laughs, "No, but would you care to join me for a dance?" Angad laughs, "Sorry, but you see I don't think my wife would appreciate it much!" The woman laughs, "Well doesn't she have you wrapped around her little finger?" Angad grins, "Yea you could say that!" The woman leans over to give Angad a kiss on the cheek, but before she can even lay her lips on his skin, she is yanked off at a distance. Kripa points her finger at the woman angrily, "Don't even think about getting near my man!" The woman looks from an angry Kripa to a smirking Angad. Angad mouths to the woman, "Told ya!" The woman runs off, while Angad pulls Kripa towards him. She snaps, "Don't Angad! I'm pretty pissed off and it would be wise of you to stay away from me right now!" Kripa pushes Angad off and walks away, while Angad chases after her. 

It seems that Anjali and Prachi both remembered eventually about them checking out "girls" from before.  Soon enough the guys are able to persuade their wives to dance with them after lots of begging on their parts. The song Tadap from the movie Darling plays in the background as they dance.

Neev escorts Prachi onto the dance floor, giving her a quick kiss murmuring, "You look beautiful jaan!" Prachi blushes, "Thanks!" Neev tries to pull Prachi close and both look down to see Prachi's stomach in between them and laugh. Neev laughs, "Dekho abhi se hi hamare beech mein arahi hain." Prachi laughs, "Woh toh hona hi tha! Aur waise bhi, muhje lagta hain ke ladka hain, ladki nahin!" Neev rolls his eyes, "Magar mujhe lagta hain ke ladki hogi! Anyways pata toh chal hi jayega and then I will rub it in your face MUAHAHA…OWW Prachi stop hitting me!" Prachi laughs throwing her arms around his neck, looking deeply into his eyes as they sway to the music. Prachi asks shyly, "Umm Neev who was that girl you were talking to before?" Neev laughs, "Jealous?" Prachi stiffens in his arms and Neev says, "Oh Prachi, I was kidding! She was just some girl who wanted to hit on me!" Prachi was getting even madder, "What?" Neev laughs, "Don't worry jaan I took care of it… I gave her my phone number! Just kidding, please stop with the hitting already! Yeh hamare ghar nahin hain jahan pe tumhara zulm mujpe chalega! I WAS JOKING! I told the woman not to bother talking to me because I wasn't interested! It was pretty funny because she couldn't believe she was turned down!" Prachi softened in his arms grinning widely, "Have I mentioned how much I love you?" Neev laughs, "Maybe, but I would love to hear it anyways" Prachi whispers softly, "I love you Neev!"

Kavya laces his fingers with Anjali's as they step onto the dance floor. Anjali smiles coyly as Kavya looks at her with so much passion that it excited her. Anjali leaves her arms on Kavya's strong shoulders while he plays with the laces of her dress. Anjali looks into his eyes who appreciate her beauty as he says, "You look breathtaking Anju!" Anjali grins, "Well what can I say my husband has great taste in clothes!" Anjali's tone changes into a barely audible whisper, "Thanks so much for getting me this dress, it's really beautiful!" Kavya laughs, "Well you're welcome, but I did it for more selfish reasons!" Anjali pulls his face closer to hers whispering, "Oh yea what's that?" Kavya grins, "Well I had to make sure my wife did justice by looking just as smoking hot as me! You know I love it when women are jealous of my sexy wife!" Anjali laughs, "And you were this close to getting smacked if the reason had been anything else!" Kavya laughs, "Believe me I know!" Kavya tilts Anjali's chin to meet his eyes and rubs her stomach gently asking, "Anju, are you happy?" Anjali smiles, "Kavya I'm more than happy! Yeah I know at first I was a little scared about how everything would change, but now I can honestly tell you that I wouldn't have it any other way! There is nothing more important to me then this you and our child, because nothing else is worth living! I realized that the night you left, that I can't live without you! And on a happier note I'm an awesome fashion designer!" Kavya presses his forehead against hers, "There is no doubt in my mind that you are the best fashion designer I have ever met! You have brilliant ideas and I'm happy that you're happy!" Anjali smiles, "Thanks Kavya!" Kavya looks at her confused, "For what Anju?" Anjali says softly, "For everything, for loving me, for marrying me, for giving me this wonderful life together, and lastly for giving me our future!" Anjali snuggles into his neck as they gently sway to the music.

Angad pulls Kripa onto the dance floor even though she is still not to happy with him. Kripa says in an angry whisper, "Angad I don't want to dance with you!" Angad says, "Krips I'm sorry!" Kripa glares at him, "Okay fine, but what are you sorry for?" Angad looks dumbfounded since he didn't expect that question, "I-I'm sorry because I hurt you? Look Krips I was just telling that woman that I was married and then she said you had me wrapped around your finger. I said that I was and you want to know why? It's because I am madly in love with you and no one could even come close to being as great as you!" Kripa didn't look convince but reluctantly swayed with Angad on the dancefloor. Angad looked at Kripa smiling, "You don't believe me, do you?" Kripa shook her head so Angad continued, "Krips you know what sets you apart from all the other girls? It's the fact that you don't fall to my feet like all the other girls, I love that you yell at me and set me in my place. No one else would dare to do that and I'm really lucky to have you!" Kripa was smirking and Angad groaned, "You weren't really mad at me were you? You just wanted a little ego boost!" Kripa laughs, "Ahh you know me so well! I gotta say I love the way you grovel, it's a total turn on!" Angad rolls his eyes and turns her around so that her back presses against him. His hands travel to her stomach and chin rests on her shoulder as they sway as one.

 

**********

            As the days progressed, the girls' insecurities only grew, but their loving husbands were able to consol their wives of their faithfulness. Though from time to time the girls would get jealous, but the guys tried not to give them any reason to be jealous. The guys made sure not to let the girls feel neglected in any way because it would eventually come back to haunt them. The guys were very supportive of their wives crazy behavior and were just praying that it ends soon.

 

Chapter 60

 

3 months later…

 

            Yes, it's been over nine months of pregnancy for these three women, yet still no sign of labor pains. They are so past their due dates, by about two weeks! The poor girls have been going absolutely crazy, wishing their babies would just pop out any second so they could be at piece. It's been a month since Aaliya and Mukti gave birth. Josh and Aaliya had a baby boy who they named Shabd, who by the way looks like a cutie just like Josh, but has Aaliya's eyes and nose. Prem and Mukti have decided to name their baby boy Suraj, who looks like a mixture of both his parents. As of now Kripa, Anjali, and Prachi could only hope that one of these days they would go into labor and hopefully SOON. Oh, wait it looks like Kripa, no wait Anjali as well… whoa whoa whoa hold the phone-- it looks like ALL THREE of girls' water just broke. It is about time too because they all looked ready to explode any second… Looks like all three of girls are going to the hospital now and being carried down by their sweet and yet very exhausted husbands! Let's just hope they don't crack a joke about their weight in this condition or they might not be able to see their child being brought into the world.

            All three men come outside their house and see each other. When they all notice the pregnant screaming women in their arms they all decide to drive together. They decide to take Angad's black Hummer. Kripa sits in the passenger seat, while Anjali and Prachi sit in the middle and hold onto their husbands' hands who are sitting in the backseat.

In the car, Kripa is yelling, "ANGAD DRIVE FASTER! STOP DRIVE LIKE A FREAKING GRANDMA!!!" Angad raises his finger in her direction to retort, but then quickly shuts his mouth. He knows Kripa will probably kick him somewhere he would rather not be kicked and then claim that "it" is the reason she got pregnant in the first place. Neev starts trying to calm down Prachi by talking like a baby, but all that does is cause Kripa, Anjali, and Prachi to start yelling at him. The girls start and throwing around fists aiming for Neev, but end up knocking out Kavya for several minutes. After regaining consciousness, Kavya starts running his fingers through Anjali's hair to soothe her. Anjali shouts, "STOP TOUCHING ME KAVYA! THAT IS WHAT GOT ME HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE! DON'T EVER TOUCH ME AGAIN OR SO HELP ME GOD I WILL CHOP YOU INTO LITTLE PIECES AND FEED THEM TO OUR DOG!" Kavya stupidly says, "Umm Anju we don't… we don't have a dog…" Anjali flares up in anger, but is cut off by Angad screaming, "KAVYA JUST SHUT THE HECK UP! GOD, ARE YOU STUPID?" Kavya just sits back and tries to avoid looking at Anjali because it seems to scare the crap out of him. Neev whispers in Kavya's ear when the girls are too busy screaming from labor pains, "Dude it's like they are possessed by demons… Oh man what if they are giving birth to demon children!" Kavya looks at Neev weirdly and then smacks him in the head, "Idiot I told you not to watch The Omen last night!" Neev nervously laughs and then gulps hoping his kid isn't some sort of demon child. With that thought, they soon arrive at the hospital.

The boys get the girls out of the cars and bring wheelchairs for the girls. The boys quickly sign forms while the girls are whisked away to rooms. Neev quickly calls both sets of parents and tells them that the girls are in the hospital. The parents had been on their way to a restaurant, so they quickly turn around and drive as quickly as possible to the hospital. The boys rapidly run to their wives assigned rooms, which are close enough to each other.

When Neev enters Prachi's room, he quickly comes near her bed. Neev places his hand on her forehead and tries to soothe her. Prachi starts to relax under his touch. When Prachi is not experiencing a contraction she calmly says to Neev, "I'm sorry about what happened in the car! Well actually, I'm sorry about how I have been acting while I was or well am pregnant! Main jaanti hoon ke maine tumko bahut saataya hain! Sorry…" Neev smiles and kisses her forehead, "Hey jaan, it's okay! Tum hamare bache ko janam dene wali ho, so you're allowed to act a little hyper! Besides I like having you mad, you look so sexy!" Prachi looks at Neev appalled and slaps his arm yelling, "Neev! You're just too much!" They both start laughing, and Neev kisses her forehead reassuringly.

 

**********

When Kavya enters Anjali's room, he rushes over as he hears her cry in pain. Kavya could not see Anjali like this at all. She looks so helpless and there isn't much Kavya can do to help her. Kavya could see her nails digging into the palm of her hand in attempts to help ease the pain. Kavya takes her hand in his, while Anjali looks like she is about to flip out about him touching her. Soon even that thought escapes her mind as she feels his lips on her palm. His lips are where she had dug her nails so deeply that there are traces of blood on her palm. Suddenly Anjali stops focusing on her pain and instead turns her attention to her husbands calming technique, which was working like a charm. He then looks up at her to see her smiling. Kavya lays his head close to her ear whispering, "It will all be okay!"

 

**********

When Angad enters Kripa's room, he casually strolls in until Kripa yells his name. She shouts, "ANGAD WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? GOD YOU ARE SO SLOW! FIRST YOU DRIVE SLOW AND NOW YOU WALK SLOW!!" Angad practically jogs up to her asking, "What's wrong?" Kripa grabs him by the tie of his shirt yelling, "WHAT'S WRONG? WHAT'S WRONG? I'M PREGNANT YOU IDIOT! THAT'S WHAT'S ******* WRONG!" Angad manages to squeak, "I-I'm c-choking!" Kripa lets go of his tie while Angad curses his stupid luck that the day he decided to wear a tie to work is the day Kripa decides to commit murder. He tosses the tie aside, in efforts to stop her temptation. Kripa grabs onto his hand and squeezes tightly. As Kripa's labor pains come and go so does the blood circulation in Angad's hand. Angad moans in pain, "God Krips when did you get so strong? You're killing my hand! This hurts, this really hurts!" Kripa yells on top of her lungs, "ARE YOU INSANE? THAT HURT? YOU THINK THAT HURTS? I'M ABOUT TO PUSH A CHILD OUT OF MY BODY AND YOU THINK THAT YOUR HAND HURTS!!! DO NOT TALK TO ME ABOUT PAIN YOU FOOL!!!" Angad continuously starts to beg for her forgiveness.

Eventually the doctors come in and check on the girls. The doctors give them some medication to help ease the pain upon their wives' request. After a couple hours of the wives trying to kill their husbands, the doctors decide that Prachi is ready to be wheeled into the delivery room. Neev follows as the doctors wheel Prachi into the delivery room. Neev holds her hand as the doctor instructs Prachi to push. Neev wipes the sweat off her forehead, trying to assure her she is fine. The doctor informs her to keep pushing. In the middle of pushing, Prachi starts to cry looking at Neev. Prachi pleads, "I can't Neev I can't do this!" Neev assures, "Prachi of course you can! I know you can! Jaan our baby is waiting to come into this world, OUR WORLD! I need you to do this for me, for us! Please jaan!"

Prachi nods and continues with all her might until all that is heard is the sound of crying. Neev rushes over to get a look at the baby and tears well up in his eyes as he looks from the baby to Prachi. He goes close to Prachi and whispers, "It's a girl Prachi! Our baby girl!" Prachi smiles and breaks down into tears of joy holding onto Neev. Soon enough the doctor brings their daughter snugly wrapped up in a pink blanket with a little pink hat. Neev looks over at Prachi and whispers, "She's just like you Prachi!" Prachi and Neev notice the little baby girl open her eyes while Prachi gasps in awe, "She has your eyes Neev!" Neev kisses Prachi's forehead whispering, "Thank you jaan!"

Just then, the doctors rush Anjali into the delivery room with Kavya running behind. Kavya meets up with Neev and Prachi, while they prep Anjali. Kavya looks at his little niece, kisses his little sister on the forehead, and then slaps Neev on the back yelling, "You two made one hell of a cutie!" Kavya runs off to Anjali when she screams his name in agony. Anjali keeps screaming his name even though he is standing there right next to her. Kavya cannot seem to take the shrilling voice of hers as she yells so he closes his hand over her mouth almost as if it were a reflex. Kavya relaxes as he stops hearing her yelling, but then he ends up screaming himself as Anjali bites onto his palm. Anjali screams, "WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU? HOW DARE YOU PUT A HAND OVER MY MOUTH? ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME? GET OUT RIGHT NOW!!!"

Kavya looks at her shocked, "You don't mean that Anju! Ohh I know what will cheer you up! Prachi had a baby girl!" Anjali screams, "NOTHING WILL CH… wait what? Prachi had a girl? Is she cute?" Kavya nods and then Anjali says a brief 'aww', but soon starts screaming again so Kavya rushes to her side. The doctor instructs her to start pushing. Kavya holds onto her hand, not caring about the pain. Kavya peeks over to see a head popping out. Kavya freaks out looking at the blood and goes back to Anjali, vowing not to look until the baby is all cleaned up. Soon all that is heard is the sound of the baby crying, their baby crying. Anjali nudges Kavya to check if the baby is a boy or a girl, but he refuses to look so the doctor announces, "It's a boy!" Kavya and Anjali gasp in excitement and then find the little boy wrapped up in a blue blanket with a blue hat. Kavya and Anjali stare at the angelic face in their arms. Anjali whispers lovingly, "He's just as cute as you! He has your lips and chin" Kavya says softly, "He has your nose… and your eyes, look he opened his eyes!" Just then Neev runs over and asks, "Well?" Kavya smiles, "It's a boy!" Neev slaps his back and walks over to Anjali, giving her a tight hug. Neev kisses her forehead, "He's beautiful Anju!"

Just then everyone hears Angad yelling through the halls, "MOVE PEOPLE MOVE! PREGNANT LADY COMING THROUGH!" Kripa gets wheeled in and gets prepared while Angad runs over to Neev and Prachi to look at their beautiful daughter. He then runs back to Anjali and Kavya to look at their baby boy. He gives Anjali a hi-five before getting sent off to be with Kripa. Angad quickly holds onto Kripa's hand and begins to bite down on his lip as Kripa crushes his hand. He certainly could not fuss about his hand at the  moment, he wouldn't repeat that mistake again!" Angad looks over by the doctor and sees the baby crowning. He can't help but looks a little disgusted, which leads Kripa to give him a cold glare. The doctor starts telling her to push and soon enough there is the blissful noise of crying, which is heard throughout the room. Angad looks over and shoots his fist in the air screaming, "It's a boy Krips!" Kripa smiles and notices blood on his lips. She pulls him into a passionate kiss, which is cut very short.

The doctor says, "Okay the next one will be along any second!" Kripa and Angad freeze slowly pulling out of their kiss and rotating their heads to face the doctor. Angad stutters, "W-What n-next o-one?" The doctor says it slowly as if Angad was some kind of moron, "The next baby of course! Kripa is having twins…" Kripa and Angad both scream, "WHAT??!!" the doctor looks stunned saying, "Didn't you know?" Angad and Kripa violently shake their heads and then Kripa cringes in pain. The doctor gets back to work while Angad helps her concentrate only on pushing. Angad says, "Hey how about you think of how mad you are at the gynecologist and that will help you push! THINK ANGER!" Kripa screams, "WE SHOULD HAVE LISTENED TO PRACHI WHEN SHE SAID SOMETHING WAS FUNNY WITH THE SONOGRAM PICTURE!! THAT OTHER DOCTOR WAS AN IDIOT!" With that, there is another cry. Angad looks over and then smiles at Kripa whispering, "It's a girl!" Kripa gasps while Angad whispers, "We have one of each Krips!" When the nurse came back, she hands Angad, the girl and Kripa, the boy. They both turn to each other at the same time saying, "This one is just like you!" Just then Kavya and Neev come over and ask together, "Well?" Kripa slowly says, "It's a boy!" Kavya and Neev hug Angad, but freeze as they hear Kripa say, "And a girl!" Kavya and Neev turn their heads to Kripa and Angad, while their eyes pop out.

Soon they move the girls out of the delivery room and into one huge room, which was perfect because they were able to stay together and talk. Naina, Dilip and Surya each hold a baby admiring their innocence and similar features to their own children. Since there were four grandchildren, each of the grandparents got to hold a baby. Dilip asks, "So did you kids decide on names yet?" Neev says, "Prachi was suppose to think of a boy name, while I thought of a girl name." Prachi asks, "So what name did you choose?" Neev took his little baby girl in his arms, sitting next to Prachi and softly said, "Kiran." Everyone smiles thinking it is a cute name and suited their baby girl quite well. Surya asks, "Anju, Kavya what did you two choose?" Anjali smiles looking over at Kavya saying, "Ved." Kavya repeats, "Ved… I like it!" Kavya comes over and kisses Anjali's forehead, holding her in his arms. Naina and Gayatri ask, "What about you two?" Angad says, "Well I was in charge of the girl's name and Kripa was in charge of the boy's… so the name I picked for my princess, is Sur." Angad brings his baby boy to Kripa as she says, "This little devil's name is Prateek."

Everyone starts to play with the beautiful children. The parents soon go home, leaving the guys to spend the night looking after their beautiful wives and the beautiful newborns children. The boys all turn to their wives and exclaim, "We all do WAY too much stuff together!" They all start to laugh, knowing it was completely true. As the guys looked at their little family, they couldn't help but think life is perfect…absolutely perfect.

 

Epilogue

 

20 years later…

 

The Khanna-Sharma House is full of people because today they seem to be having a little gathering at home. Yes, it's the K-S House now, because a few years ago they had construction done to the house so that the two separate houses, which were next to each other could be joined together into one very enormous mansion. Yeah as if, they all don't spend enough time with each other! Soon the doorbell rings and the women, who are currently occupying the kitchen, come out to answer the door. The women find, three very attractive men standing in front of them holding bags of food.

The men push through the door screaming, "We brought the food you all wanted!" One woman yanks at her husband before he can step onto the carpet, "Angad don't track dirt all over the carpet!" Angad turns around looking just as handsome, yet more mature with his grown goatee giving him that sexy unshaven look. He throws his arms around his wife saying, "Krips I'm sorry!" Kripa smacks him over the head saying, "You're just as bad as Prateek and Sur!" Angad rubs his head, while smiling as he watches his beautiful wife exit the room. He can't seem to stop himself from checking her out. Even today, she looks just as gorgeous as she was when she was younger. He smirks and decides to go follow his wife. Angad and Kripa are still working at Khash and it has become the biggest fashion house in India, with their clientele ranging from hundreds of celebrities to normal townspeople.

Another attractive man comes and throws his arm around the drop dead gorgeous woman's petite frame. He gives her a peck on the cheek whispering, "Miss me Anju?" She laughs, "Oh yes, I was traumatized that you decided to leave for twenty minutes to get food Kavya! I had no clue what I would do without you, how I would survive! The agony Kavya, the agony!" Kavya pulls her closer, "Okay fine, but there is no need to get all sarcastic!" Anjali slaps his arm away saying, "I can't believe it took three fully grown men to go get food! Seriously, couldn't one of you just have gone to pick it up?" Kavya grins, "Well yeah we could have, but then the rest of us would have to help you all clean so…" Kavya slips out the room before Anjali can come and slap him senseless. Kavya continued to model for years, but now he selects models for their fashion house, Khash. Anjali was able to model for a couple years after giving birth to Ved, but she found fashion designing to be her true calling. Her creative mind is one of the reasons that the Khash collections are so widely appreciated.

Another man approaches an attractive looking woman. They both start to laugh because of the two previous couples. The woman turns to him saying, "God Neev, yeh char kabhi nahin badlenge!" Neev laughs pulling the woman closer, "You're talking about them not changing? Prachi we act just as ridiculous as them! I hope we don't change because I like all of us acting like this!" Prachi tries getting out of his grasp, "Neev chordo! Dekho sab bache aane wale honge college se, koi dekhlega!" Neev pulls her even closer, "Prachi you worry too much…oh crap! Hi, umm Josh and Aali! We were just umm oh hey Prem and Mukti… Aren't you all a little early?" Josh, Aaliya, Prem, and Mukti just grin replying, "Nope!" They all enter the house to help set up the food. Neev and Prachi are still working at a hospital, in fact a couple years ago they were able to construct their own hospital, which is named Khash Hospital. Neev is incharge of surgical operations and Prachi is responsible for the gynecology department. Their parents oversee the rest of the hospital. The hospital does a lot of research and charity work, making it renowned in the nation.

Getting back to Josh, Aaliya, Prem and Mukti—It just so happens that years ago, when the two properties across the street went on sale, Josh and Prem immediately decided to buy the houses. It was not only because they were all such good friends, but also because their children were such good friends. As for kids—Angad, Kripa, Kavya, Anjali, Neev, and Prachi all decided not to have any more kids because well there were four kids running around the house already and that was definitely more than enough. Josh and Aaliya however apart from Shabd, had baby girl a year later, named Priyanka. Prem and Mukti too had another baby girl a year later, named Vidya. After those four had filled their quota of two children, they too called it quits for having any more.

The children are already in college and all eight of them are in the same year—their final year. Priyanka and Vidya turned out to be super geniuses, well smart enough to skip a grade anyways and are in the same grade as their friends. Prateek, Ved, Shabd, Suraj, Priyanka, Vidya, Sur, and Kiran are the popular crowd of their college—known for their jocks, players, beauties, and brains all wrapped in one group. All the boys at college are in love with these four girls, while the female population fawns over the boys. Prateek and Priyanka happen to be dating and are the hottest couple on campus. Ved and Vidya share a love hate relationship, well mainly because Vidya loves to rub it in to Ved that she is super smart, while Ved loves to annoy her in any and every way possible. Shabd is the resident badass player on campus with girls around him wherever he goes, but he only hangs out with the girls to get a rise out of Sur along with trying to gain her attention. Sur also has the whole male population vying for her attention, but all she can focus on is Shabd being surrounded by tons of women; she has a slight crush on him, which she thinks will soon pass—okay no more like she hopes it will pass soon.  Suraj and Kiran are a lot shyer in that they both are in love with each other, but Suraj fears rejection.

Just then the kids come charging through the door. The first one to enter is Sur, who looks exactly like Kripa when she was younger.  Sur starts yelling, "Shabd you got us both detentions!" A boy soon follows and his resemblance to Angad is remarkable. Prateek says, "Come on sis, it was an accident. He accidently fell on top of you and the teacher saw, thinking it was PDA. It's not his fault" Sur snaps, "Well why was he running in the first place!?" Shabd comes into the room laughing, "Hey I was trying to run away from Piya! God that girl is clingy!" Sur yells, "Well then why are you dating her?" Shabd smirks and folds his arms, while standing in front of Sur, "Jealous?" Sur turns red and moves her head away from him. She stubbornly replies, "NO!" Shabd grins at her outburst and Sur says softly, "I mean no, why would I be jealous of her! Mind you, I'm one of the hottest girls at college! Plus she has nothing I would ever want!" Shabd smirks at her stubborn nature and leans in close to her ear. He whispers seductively, "Except me…" With that he gets up and walks away leaving Sur in a daze.

Priyanka comes from behind and gives Prateek a kiss on the cheek. She says softly, "Hey babe!" Prateek leans in to kiss her, when they both hear a cough. They both turn around to see Josh a bit mad. Josh yells, "Prateek! No, no, no and NO! There will be no hugging, kissing, or TOUCHING in this house! God kids it's called self control! Besides when I was your age… uhh… ahem never mind…" Prateek laughs throwing his arm around Priyanka, "Kya Josh Uncle, you know how much I love Pri! Besides I know very well how you and Aali Auntie got married!" Josh looks shocked whispers in Prateek's ear, "You know about that?" Prateek nods, "Yup!" Josh turns red and then looks at the pair, "Fine, but NO KISSING! I don't want to see that if I can help it!" Prateek smirks, "No probs Uncle!" Priyanka blushes in his arms.

In the corner, Vidya and Ved seem to be arguing. Vidya yells, "Ved give me my book! I was reading that!" Ved smirks, "You're not gonna get it back with that attitude missy, that's for sure! Besides you completely embarrassed me in front of that girl" Vidya yells while struggling to the get the book, "Yea well you deserved it after embarrassing me in class today!" Vidya stomps on Ved's foot, which causes him to drop the book and hold onto his foot from pain. Vidya runs off, while Ved chases her half limping. He yells, "Vidi get back here!" Vidya sticks her tongue out at him while Ved smirks, "Don't stick that out if you don't plan on using it!" Vidya stops running and looks at Ved weirdly, "Huh? Is that even suppose to make sense… OH EWW YOU PERV! …Oh CRAP! AHHHHHH!!! MOM, VED WON'T STOP CHASING ME!!!"

Kiran sits on a couch and watches television, while Suraj looks lost as to where everyone disappeared. Kiran looks over at Suraj and motions him to sit next to her. Kiran slowly says, "Suraj come watch T.V. with me!" Suraj nods and his cheeks slightly turn red as he sits next to her. Everytime their fingers brush they get both turn redder. Suraj suddenly blurts out, "Kiran will you go to the dance with me?" Kiran turns around shocked and speechless. Suraj notices her contemplating and quickly adds, "It's okay if you don't want you, I mean I won't mind. I just thought…" Kiran places her finger on his lips and softly says, "I'd like that" They both smile and she moves closer on the couch, with her head resting on his shoulder. Suraj smiles looking at her and then turns his attention to the television.

Just then, the women come out of the kitchen and yell, "Kids dinner is ready!" The kids all gather and start serving themselves. The kids start walking towards the living room with their food and plop down on the couches, arguing about one thing or another. Angad, Kavya, and Neev help bring their parents to the table to eat dinner. Dilip, Naina, Surya, and Gayatri have become quite old, yet their children have made sure they remain healthy and fit. Angad, Kavya, and Neev join Prem, Mukti, Aaliya and Josh at the table after giving their wives a light kiss. Kripa, Anjali and Prachi start serving their parents and walk around making sure everyone has food without even getting any themselves. Them being the wonderful husbands they are, quickly pull their wives into their laps and feed them food. As per usual, the wives complain about having to sit in their husbands laps.

Gayatri and Naina look over towards their grandchildren to see them sitting in pairs on the couches—the two wise women knew instantly that their grandchildren had already found their soul mates and they were sitting right next to them even if they did not want to believe it. Dilip and Surya laugh watching their own kids who look just as much in love as they were back in college with their wives. Naina and Gayatri look back at their grandchildren saying, "Wah in sab ki kya dosti hai!" Dilip and Surya shake their heads and point to their own children, "Yeh dekho in sab ka kya pyaar hai!" Gayatri, Naina, Surya, and Dilip smile, "Lagta hain hamare bachon ki tarah inke bachon ko bhi mil jayega dosti mein pyaar!
