" I can't believe you Jai, you forgot something that important." Bani accused him, as they made their way downstairs to the kitchen.
"What, I was distracted."
"Oh please"
"Bani we can just buy an cheesecake from the bakery and tell them you made one."
"It takes fours hours for an cheesecake, one hour to prepare and bake, three hours to cool in the refrigerator."
"Do you want me to order from the caf."
"No," as she pulled something out of the oven, and she showed her husband.
"That looks delicious."
"Why don't you get dressed, while I decorate this."
"Actually let me help you." He suggested the idea, with an mischief in his eyes.
"No" As she remembered what always happens when they happened, and remembered the incident with the ice-cream that happened few hours ago, an slight blush appeared on her cheek.

"Mummy, I got to baby sit Jani, while Massi was preparing the dinner." He told her proudly.
"You did?"
"Yup," he shook his head.
"Massi told me I am an big brother, and I should look after Jani."
"You are also going to be big brother to your little brother, when he arrives." As she looked down to her stomach.
"Brother, I don't want an brother, I want an sister."
"We will see"
"If you tell mother goose can she bring me an sister."
"I don't know, I will try." As she closed her eyes, and prayed it was an girl.
"Maybe two" Her eyes opened wide, and she repeated "Two?"
"One for me, one for Amit, as Ayush bhai will have Jani."
"How thoughtful, why can't you guys share."
"No, I want my own sister, one for each brother."
