Sir is late. So I got 20 more min! Yayay!

So, when RM decide to finally adopt, everyone in the gang writes glowing recs for the social services. And the AN & AR kids insist on going with them to the orphanage cause they're so excited to meet the newest addition to their crew. And, on seeing RM with them, no one has one shred of doubt about their ability to be parents. The orphanage director happily let's the kid go with the new parents.

And, back at home, the gang has organized a surprise party to welcome the newest addition to their family. Since then, the kid's birthday is celebrated on the day he/she came home with RM.

The RM kid is a lil skeptical about the new fam, but everyone just goes out of their way to make sure that it's all good for them.
When they join school, the AR & AN kids become protectors and always make sure they're okay.
Armaan & Atul pop by randomly to play video games with the kid and the girls will just randomly show up with some food that they think the kid will like or to take them shopping.

The grandparents all co ordinate and come to town to meet the kid and spoil them rotten.

With the gang popping out all these kids and everyone realizing the troubles working parents face, the hospital opens a creche to look after the kids of their staff.

The AR & AN kids are undoubtedly leaders of the lot and they all form this huge kiddo army that takes the hospital by storm. It's not uncommon to see kids running around the hospital after pranking someone from the staff.

After the wedding, AR have this tradition of going on a vacay on every anniversary, no matter how short.
For a couple years in the beginning, they go to exotic locations but after the kids, it turns into a family vacay. And finally, after the kids grow up and are old enough to stay by themselves they start going like they're honeymooners. That's the one vacay that Armaan splurges on lavishly every year.

It's a point of argument in the gang cause the other girls also want their husbands to do something so romantic for them. The boys all curse Armaan for doing this and raising the bar high but Armaan always laughs them off and advises them to do the same cause it's so refreshing.

Uhhh... A few years later, Billy retires and Billy & Annie move to Mumbai
The Mallik mansion is full after that and Billy & Annie completely spoil Ridz and don't let her do anything around the house. Armaan gets really pissed cause they always side with Ridz in am argument no matter what.
After a while, Ridz just stops going to the Gupta Mansion to stay over cause she can't see Billy look so downtrodden every time she brings the topic up. Billy somehow convinces Shanky & Paddy to come stay at theirs instead. And then, Anjy also comes and Billy invites Muski & Nikki too. So, the guys are all sent out of the house and the girls and kids live with their parents for a week during every summer vacay.

The guys go stay at the Gupta Mansion and they're always up to some mischief. When Shanky & Paddy come back they're shocked to see that their entire house looks like a hurricane hit.

Rahul claims full Mamu rights on the AR kid and foes crazy. That's when Armaan realizes how annoying it must have been for Abhi and apologizes to him.

The gang is over at each others' house so much that now everybody has many bedrooms to accomodate everyone. They have designated bedrooms in each house that are done according to their taste in addition to the regular guest rooms.

These people also have a habit of showing up unannounced to catch a nap or some sleep if they've had a hard day at work and they're in the area where one of them has a house. Like, AR live near Sanjeevani, AN live near this one hotel where they have a lot of meetings. RM live near the Gupta Mansion and AA live near some other place where the gang frequently goes cause of work.

When someone from outside the gang visits, they're always confused as to why there are so many extra rooms. It's hilarious.

Waah bhai waah! Nice accomplishment! Now my goal will be to catch up to these and put in some new posts before you come back on IF! Waise bhi I'll wake up around 7 (your... 4:30 pm?) and be on for two hours or so...
