Chapter 1:

Avni's POV

I hadn't left my room much in the last few months. I will admit that I have been sulking like an angry teenager. But, not only sulking, it was fear too.

I was afraid of running into them on the street. I was sure they were a "them by now.

I sighed and turned around, pressed my face into my pillow and pretended to sleep. Ma knew better than to try to get me out of this phase at this point. She had been trying persistently for months and she's given up on me. She too, has given up on me. I will admit that it stung that she did. But, I didn't say anything.

I woke up everyday, ate, and slept the day away.

" You need some exercise, she keeps telling me. " It'll be good for you. Especially now. " You need some fresh air, Avni.

I didn't need any of that stuff. I only needed... Him.

But, I couldn't have him.

My eyes burned with unshed tears. Damn my hormones.

My mind was disturbed and I knew I wasn't going to sleep again. I got up from the bed and found myself swaying a little. I held on to the bedpost and steadied myself.

"Ma? I yelled as I came out of the room, " Aman?

"Where are you?

"In kitchen, Avni, came Ma's response. I walked slowly to the kitchen and found myself drooling at the smell of the food.

"Wow Ma, I said as I walked into the kitchen, " what are you making? This smells divine.

" Really? she asked as she turned towards me, raising her eyebrows, " I'm making bhaigan.

I stopped dead in my tracks.

What? I hated bhaigan. Ew.

But, this smelled so good. I was still drooling.

"Would you like some? she asked, with a knowing smile.

I grumbled a "yes, and got up to get a plate for myself.

Neela ma joined me at the table and watched as I wolfed down the bhaigan curry she made. "Wow, she said a knowing smile on her face, " I never thought I'd see the day.

"Hm? I asked distractedly.

" You and bhaigan.

It was weird but I didn't say anything. We both knew the reason why I was eating this curry. My face was red. I knew it was, but I didn't say a word.

---------------------

I was lightheaded. My vision was all blurry.

"Ma, I called out, but my voice was weak. My heart was pounding. I was scared.

My hands clutched my stomach as I crunched in pain. " Ma, I called out again; hoping my voice will reach her.

" Avni? Did you call me, baccha?

"Ma, I whispered as she stepped into the room. I felt my knees buckle and I could feel myself dropping to the floor but, I couldn't stop it.

-

Neil's POV

I frowned at the screen when my phone lit up. Neela Ma.

I didn't pick up. I couldn't be weak now. I knew if I spoke to her, I would break. I couldn't.

She didn't stop calling. I picked up after the 7th ring.

"Ji? my voice sounded terrifying to my own ears and I felt bad for treating her this way.

"Neil, she said, uncaringly. Her voice sounded scared and it scared me, in turn. "I have something to tell you. Please listen to me and listen to me very carefully.

I felt the blood drain from my face as I listened to her words. She was still talking when I grabbed the keys to the police van and ran outside.

I turned on the flashing lights and sped towards the hospital.

---------------------

I met Neela Ma in the hospital corridor. " How is she? I cried, out of breath.

" I'm waiting for the doctor, she said, eyes red and her face ashen. " Neil, I'm really sorry I didn't tell you sooner. She didn't...

" She decided that I don't deserve to know? I turned around and faced the wall. She's always been doing this. Avni always took decisions about our relationship by herself. It was maddening.

She decided to leave the house once when Bebe insulted her.

She decided that we could take our relationship to the next level.

She decided that Juhi was the one for me.

She decided to leave me. Again.

But, this...She had gone too far.

The doctor coming out of her room interrupted my thoughts. I turned around.

" She's fine. For now. She is anemic though, he said, "and that needs to change.

"And..? asked Neela Ma.

" Also fine at the moment. " I would like to prescribe something to help with the anemia and would like to monitor her a little bit more closely from now on.

I interrupted, " Can I see her?.

"Of course. She's just resting for now. Try not to wake her up.

----------------

I pushed the door to her room open. I felt the tears rolled down my cheeks as I stared at her lying on the bed.

I hadn't seen her in 5 months. Ever since she decided that I needed to be with Juhi. Ever since, I decided that my job was more important. That made me feel a little guilty. Maybe I should have tried harder. I knew how damaged Avni was.

I crossed the room and sat down on the small stool by her bed. She had lost weight and her face was pale, but she was still the same woman who had made me learn how to love again. The same woman was so scared of her own feelings and ran away all the time, the same women who was,as I found out today, carrying my child.

I let my eyes move to her stomach. It was a small bump, but it was there nonetheless. God knows, I've stared at her waist long enough to notice every little difference. Had Bebe to thank for that, and her damn waist chain.

I reached out and touched the small bump. The tears were flowing freely now. That was my child. Mine and Avni's.

I didn't know if I should be happy or be angry at her. I was going to be a dad. And found out 5 months too late.

-------------------

"Damn you, Avni, I whispered furiously as I grabbed her hand. With her hand pressed against my forehead, I let my mind wander.

It was all Dayavanti Mehta's fault. Of course. Although, this time I actually thanked her multiple times.

Once again today.

She had made the plan to drug everyone at Khanna house. When I had seen everyone drugged and unconscious, I had gone to find Avni.

She was in our bed, sleeping it off. I remember sitting down beside her when she started mumbling in her sleep.

When she opened her eyes and looked at me drowsily with a smile on her lips, I knew I was done for.

She had reached for my hand and pulled me down closer to her, " Hi, she had whispered. " Hey, I whispered back, " are you okay?

She nodded and pulled me closer. " You're drunk, I whispered to her. She shook her head, " I'm uninhibited, she countered.

I smiled at her. "Same thing.

"No. It's not.

"How so?

"Now, I'm not afraid.

"Afraid? You? That's not possible, I said with a smile, " you're fearless.

"Not true, she said, shaking her head. " You terrify me.

I laughed softly, " I terrify you? I think it's quite the opposite.

"You scare me when you stare at me all the time, she said, "like you want to eat me up.

I laughed again. She was so cute. "I'm just trying to show you that I have feelings for you, Avni. I like you. A lot.

" I like you too. A lot, she said.

" You do?

"Uhuh. A lot. A lot. But, you're too good for me. I don't deserve you.

"Hey, I whispered at her as I looked down at her, " I know I'm Mr. Perfect, but you're pretty incredible yourself. And guess what?

"What?

" I'm a big boy. I can decide for myself. I know what's good for me and what isn't. I know what I want, Avni. And it's you, she blinked at me. " I know you're not ready and I won't push you, " I continued, " I'll wait. You're worth it.

" I don't want you to wait, she said forcefully and craned her neck up and pressed her lips against mine.

Woah. She really was uninhibited tonight.

"Avni, I said pulling back;ignoring the tingling of my lips, " you're drunk.

"Maybe. But not enough that I don't know what I'm doing and enough to have the courage to do this, she said; her eyes flashing with something fierce.

"Sleep for now, I said as I started to pull back, " we'll talk tomorrow. I don't want to do anything you'll regret tomorrow.

"No, liiisten... she whined as she threw her hands around my neck, " Neil...

Geez, this girl will be the death of me. I tried to move away from her.

" Neiiilll. Neiiil.

"Nahi, Avni. Kal baat karte hain. Sleep now.

"Nahi, she said as she moved closer still, "yahan dekho.

"Kya? I asked as I looked at her.

"Kiss? she asked as she tilted her to the side.

"Fine, meri maa, I said as I kissed her hand. "Happy?

" God, Neil! And you call me unromantic... she huffed and kissed me again.

" Avni, please.

"No, she said as she started unbuttoning the buttons on my vest swiftly before moving to my shirt.

"Neil?

"Hm, I said as I tried to pull my shirt close again.

"Neil,she said again and waited until I met her eyes, " Haan.

I raised my eyebrows at her, " Haan?

" Haan. Yes. Ji- whatever you like, she said with a wink as she referred to the conversation we had a couple of days ago about love being a two way street.

She reached for me and I felt my resolve crumble.

----------------

I could still feel the way her breath on my bare skin had sent a shiver inside my entire being as she breathed out my name when I sucked on her neck.

I remembered the way she felt in my arms. Soft and warm.

I remembered how her body had opened up to accept me and we became one. I remembered the pitch of her voice when she cried out my name.

I remembered how once satiated, she had flipped her naked body onto mine and we fell asleep together. The feel of her soft body over mine had lulled me into the best sleep.

I remembered how shy she had been the next morning when we woke up. I remembered the awkwardness we both felt as we peeled our bodies away from each other. That had been the morning when she let me put the waist chain back on her,after I had asked for her permission. It was still vivid in my mind how she blushed when I allowed my fingers to linger on her skin a little longer than necessary.

I remembered how she wouldn't meet my eyes as she served me breakfast in front of the whole family. How she almost dropped my breakfast when I made my fingers touch hers infront of everyone.

---------------------

The door opened and I looked up, drawn away from my memories.

Neela Ma looked so contrite. " What did the doctor say? I asked as I scrubbed my face with my hands.

" They're fine, she replied softly as she rounded the bed and stopped by me. " For now, she added and I looked up frowning.

"The anemia isn't good for her pregnancy. It might make her deliver prematurely

I didn't know anything about pregnancies or babies, but I knew that premature is not good.

"So what now? I asked.

"She has to take some iron tablets, make sure she's getting her blood work done, and doing regular checkups with the doctor.

I nodded. That sounded easy enough. But, nothing really was easy enough with Avni.

"Why didn't she tell me she was pregnant? I asked.

"Neil. It's not really my place to say.

" You know when I ask her, and I will ask her, she will make some excuse. Please Neela Ma, you know I love her, please help me understand why she walked away from us?

She sighed, " Avni never believed she was good enough for you, Neil. You know this. I think at one point, she was convinced that you could be hers.

But, I am hers.

" When Juhi returned... Neela Ma said. " She said you loved Juhi more than your life... And she didn't want to keep you away from her. "She said if you found out abut the baby, then you'd feel obligated towards them...

"Neil. You're with Juhi now. Don't worry about Avni. I'll take care of both of them. She placed her hand on my shoulder and squeezed reassuringly.

"Kya?! " Mein aur Juhi? Nahi, Neela Ma, I said, " You're mistaken. Aur Avni is the Queen of Being Mistaken. I'm not with Juhi.

"Neil, Shweta told us...

"Mom? She said that? I should have known. Mom would never change. She never liked Avni. That was all pretence for me to come back home.

Avni's hand twitched in mine and drew our attention away from the conversation and to her.

Chapter 2:

Neil's POV

Her eyes met mine when she woke up and she gave me a small smile. I watched as her other hand found her bump and she unconsciously rubbed it.

"Neil, she whispered slowly before closing her eyes.

I squeezed the hand that I was still holding, " Avni, I said. Her eyes flew open, almost comically and she drew her hand away from mine. " Ma! she cried as she noticed Neela Ma.

" Neil. What are you doing here?

" Kyun wifey? Where am I supposed to

be?

She blinked at me.

Before she could open her mouth, the nurse came back in, " Mrs Parikh, you can start the paper work now, and take her home. She's almost done her IV.

" I'll do the paperwork, Ma. Aap Avni ko lekar ghar jao. Mein apko vahi milta houn.

"Home? Why? asked Avni. I chose not to reply and stormed out of the room instead. I filled out the paperwork, making sure that the Khanna name was on this form wherever it needed to be. This was my child and hell was going to freeze over before I let Avni or anyone else for that matter to take this away from us.

------------

Before I got out of the van at Khanna house, I called DD. " DD, meet me at Neela Ma's in 45 minutes.

"Ji Sir, replied DD and I hung up.

" Dad, I yelled as I entered the house, " Bebe.

"Neil, why are you yelling? asked Dad as he and Bebe came out in the hall.

"Where's everyone else?

" You mom and aunt are out shopping. Kareena is away at school and Juhi has gone out too. Why?

" You're alone? I confirmed.

" Haan, putaar. Kya hua? asked Bebe.

I proceeded to tell them about the call I received this morning from Neela Ma, I told them that Avni was pregnant and watched their faces light up with joy, I told them that Mom had told Avni that I was back with Juhi, and I finally told them that I was leaving this house to be with my wife and my child.

" Your mom will never change. What did this poor child ever do to her? asked Bebe as she sat down on the couch, " It's my misfortune that I will not be able to take care of Avni in this condition. I may not even be able to hold your child, Tillu.

"Bebe, don't be silly, I said softly as I crouched down in front of her, " Avni loves you and you know she will never keep our child away from you. I'm sure if you came to see her, she would be over the moon. You too, Dad, as I looked up at my father.

" I'm going to move to Neela Ma's for a while and take care of Avni.

"Why don't you move into the loft again? asked Dad.

" Nahi, Dad, I said, " What if something happens to her while im at work. There atleast she'll have Neela Ma and Aman.

"Theek hai. That's a good point as well.

"I'm going to go pack, I said standing up.

"Neil, what do we tell your mom and Juhi? asked Bebe.

" Tell them I went to take care of my baby, I replied, " that I need to fulfill my duties as a dad, but that doesn't change anything. That I'm still theirs and I will be coming back to them after.

"Tillu, kya yeh sach hai?

"No, Bebe. But, that's what I need them to think for now. Please, just stick to this story for now. I'll explain everything later. I promise you that I will take care of your grand-daughter and your great grandchild and I'll keep them happy.

DD's POV:

I rang the door bell. Neil Sir's van was not there yet. I waited.

When the door opened, my eyes popped open wide.

"Bhabhi!

I couldn't believe my eyes as I looked down at her. Her stomach was swollen. Avni bhabhi was pregnant.

She blushed infront of me.

"Mein Chacha bane wala houn, I cried when I found my voice again. Bhabhi started laughing out loud and so did I.

I hadn't seen or heard Avni bhabhi laugh this openly in a long long time. It felt so good to hear her bubbly laugh.I watched her eyes crinkle as she laughed. Her hand had dropped to her stomach as she cradled her bump.

It was such a motherly gesture and I felt my heart swell up in admiration for her. She had come so far from being Case 123.

"Come in, she said after her stopped laughing. "Congratulations Bhabhi, I said as I crossed the threshold.

"And me? came a voice behind me.

" Of course, Sir, I said as I turned around, " Congratulations to you as well. Neil Sir beamed at me and then looked over at his wife.

"Neil? Yeh saman?

" I'm staying here with you.

"Nahi, she cried. " You have to go back home. You can't do this to Mummyji again. And Juhi?

" Enough about Juhi already, said Neil Sir as they glared at each other, " DD, he said instead turning his attention to me.

"Sir

"We need a few constables around the house here. One of the constables will go with Avni whenever she goes out- Doctor, for walks, anything at all.. they go with her.

" Neil, that's not necessary, interrupted Bhabhi.

" You let me worry about what's necessary.

A fight was on the horizon. I could sense it by looking at them. Bhabhi's eyes were shooting laser beams at Neil Sir and the latter was not backing down.

" I will be staying here from now on, Neil Sir continued as he turned back to me, " the constables will stay here around the perimeter of the house.

" No, they won't.

" Yes, they will. They are my officers and I decide where I post them.

"This is my house, Neil. Not your police station.

" This is MY house, interrupted a wiser voice from the door. Neela Aunty.

" Avni, if Neil thinks that we need the protection, then he must have a reason.

" Ma, you stop taking his side, cried Avni and I swore she looked like she was going to cry. " I'm not invalid. I don't need anyone accompanying me any where.

"Avni, signed Neil Sir as he pinched the bridge of his nose in frustration.

"You're being unreasonable Neil. Why do I need police protection? Do you not trust me to keep your child safe, is that it?

"Damn it, Avni. This is not just about the baby! It's about you too. Do you realize that someone tried to kill me six and half months ago? Do you know that they haven't been caught yet? " Do you really think they will stop because they were unsuccessful once? Of course not! They will try again. And this time, they have more ammunition,don't they? " Do you see why I need to ensure that you are both protected?

"I... stammered Bhabhi as she looked at us helplessly. " Fine, she said as she steeled herself, " do whatever you want. But, you can't stay here. And with that, she turned around and tried to stomp back into the house. It was funny really, because she was waddling.

Neil's POV

"Damn this girl. She frustrated me to no end, I thought as I watched her waddle away. I do have to admit that she looked damn adorable like that though.

I shook my head at her retreating back. " Neela Ma, you have no objection with me staying here right?

" No, but I do have one condition, if you stay here though.

"Condition?

" You can't be upsetting her like this. She doesn't need the additional stress in this condition. You need to be very careful

" I won't, I promised as I turned around and went to find my wife.

She was pacing the floor of her room when I walked in. She turned to glare at me but didn't stop her pacing. A slow pace but pacing nonetheless.

" Can we talk? I asked her as I sat down on the edge of the bed.

She huffed as she continued pacing.

" Avni, I said as I grabbed hold of her hand, " Come here.

As she came closer, I sat her down.

"Do you trust me?

She blinked at me, Yeh kaisa sawal hai? Of course, I trust you, Neil.

" Then I need you to listen to me very carefully. " For the last few months, I've been chasing the person who planted the bomb. All of the evidence points that the person has been hiding or is currently still hiding in Jagoora. The girls I had rescued from Raghu Pandit were from the same colony where the bombing happened. These girls were found on the route to Jagoora. Then, after the bombing, someone tried to kill me again while I was in the hospital. I didn't see their face but, I can't ignore the fact that they may all be connected. Then, you found Juhi. The same Juhi that was declared dead for all these years. Where was she hidden? Jagoora. In a brothel. All of this cannot be considered coincidences. Could Raghu Pandit be running a brothel in Jagoora? Very possible. Is that why he kidnaps all these girls? Could be. What does he do with them? Is he only trying to turn them into prostitutes or is he selling them on the black market? I'm not sure. I can't be sure until I have some stronger evidence.

Avni's face was serious as she listened to me. She made no sound and gave nothing away so I continued.

" Juhi being back in my life after all the years is suspect to me. Especially since she spent all of her time in Jagoora. I can't trust her. However, I do need her to trust me and I need her to think that I'm on her side. If she's in anyway connected to Raghu Pandit, then she can be the one person to lead me to him. And I need to catch him to prevent him for selling poor innocent girls and ruining their lives.

" Avni, I loved Juhi in the past. I don't love her now. She's always going to have a soft spot in my heart because she was my first love. I'm not in love with her, I grabbed Avni's hands and stared at her, " I love you. I'm in love with you. I'm happy Juhi is back and she's not in any trouble, but that doesn't mean that I want her in my life. Not in that way at least. She's my past. You're my present. You and our baby. My present and my future.

" I know, you've had a rough childhood and I know you don't believe you deserve anything good, but I believe that you do. You deserve it all, Avni and I want to give it all to you. I want to be a family with you and our child.

"Avni, do you love me? I asked. I knew I had to be direct with her. I knew she loved me, however, I wanted to hear it from her.

She nodded. "I want you to say it.

Her face reddened, " I... " I can't.

"Yes, you can, I insisted.

" I... " Love... she stalled. But, I waited and watched her face expectantly.

" You, she said as she looked up at me before ducking her head down.

" Now, all together, I teased.

" Neil...she groaned.

"Please.

She turned around and pulled me into a hug, " I love you, she whispered close to my ear and I thought I had died and gone to heaven.

I laughed and pulled her in for a kiss.

When we pulled apart, she slapped my shoulder, " Why didn't you tell me all of this six months ago?

" Because you decided that you need to walk away and you made the decision without consulting with me and I thought okay, maybe you unknowingly made a good decision. I could finally focus on Raghu Pandit without putting you in harm's way.

She blinked at me, " I'm sorry, she said as her stomach grumbled.

I smiled at her. " Let's have some food? Seems like this little one is hungry, I said as I reached down to rub her bump. I couldn't believe there was a baby in there. Our baby.

I grinned at her and she smiled back.

"Before we do that thought, there's one more thing I need from you.

"What?

" If mom or Juhi asks, then the cover story is that I am here for the baby and only the baby. Okay?

She frowned at me.

" I want Juhi to think she still has a chance with me. I want to gain her trust.

" Neil, that's terrible. You're playing with her emotions.

" I know, but it's for a good cause.And if Juhi is still the same person I knew back then, then she won't have any objections to it. " I just need to make sure you're okay with this? It's going to be hard to hear the accusations, and you know my mother... she's going to try to use this and hurt you.

"I know, she said softly.

" Are you going to be okay with this?

"I think so. I just need you to be honest and open with me the whole time.

" I promise, I said and kissed her hands before pulling her up. " Let's eat.

Im enjoying this story. 👍🏼
