Chapter 1:
Abhi woke up to someone crawling in his bed. He smiled to himself.
"Gotcha Aadi." Abhi said as he grabbed his son.
"How..come..you always know?" Aadit asked.
"I'm your dad." Abhi laughed. "I feel it when you crawl into the bed."
"Dad, I had a question." Aadit asked.
"Go ahead." Abhi said pulling his five year old son closer.
"Will I have a sister or a brother?" Aadit asked. Abhi smiled at his son.
"I don't know." Abhi replied. "Maybe a little sister for whom you could be the protective older
brother or a little brother who will follow your steps. What do you want?"
"I don't know." Aadit replied. "I can't choose. I would love to have a little sister and I would also like a brother so I don't know."
"Well... you'll find out in two months." Abhi said. "Now let's go back to sleep."
"No." Aadit replied. "I just woke up."
"Please?" Abhi begged. "With daddy? A little nap?"
"No." Aadit whined. "Come and have breakfast with me."
"No.." Abhi whined. "Please? I am still sleepy."
"Who's still sleepy?" Pragya said coming into the room.
"Dad." Aadit said quickly.
"Abhi?" Pragya said looking at him. "It's eleven. Get up."
"Yeah Dad, get up." Aadit said. "You know mom and I don't have break fast without you."
"You two haven't eaten?" Abhi said looking at them.
"Nope." Pragya told him.
"Guys you reach the table.. I'll get ready and come as quickly as possible?" Abhi said getting up.

"Aadi?" Pragya said looking for him. "Aadi where are you? Aadi? Come on. You have to take a shower." Aadi ran from there and Pragya ran after him only to pulled by Abhi.
"Pragya?" Abhi said looking at her. "What are you doing?"
"I am trying to get Aadi to take a shower but.. wait! Aadi!" Pragya pushed Abhi and ran after Aadi.
"Pragya!" Abhi ran after her, nearly having a heart attack at the sight of Pragya running. Abhi didn't run too fast for he feared he would bump into her. "Don't run! Pragya!"
So technically Aadit was ahead, followed by Pragya who was being chased by Abhi. Each screaming at the other to stop. Suddenly Pragya tripped, Abhi nearly stopped breathing but he dived and caught her. Abhi was the on the floor and Pragya on top of him.
"You okay?" Abhi said as he helped her get up. "Any pain."
"I...I'm fine." Pragya said getting up.
"Never do this again, Okay?" Abhi said looking at her. "You nearly gave me a heart attack! You're not supposed to run!"
"But Aadi." Pragya explained.
"Just don't run." Abhi said.
"You are so mean to me!" Pragya cried and pushed Abhi away.
"Wait.. what?" Abhi said looking at her.
"Just go." Pragya said walking away but Abhi held her by the hand. He wasn't going to let her get angry on him. Specially because it was a mood swing.
"No." Abhi said. "You might run again." Bad choice of words.
"What do you think? I am a kid! I get it, I don't have to run." Pragya fumed.
"Sorry." Abhi said pulling her in a hug. Pragya seemed to calm down.
(Enough for now)
