She was standing in the balcony, watching the full moon. Dressed in a powder blue colored night gown, she looked ethereal as the moonlight falling on her face made her glow. She looked happy, the smile on her pink lips was serene.
He came close to her and hugged her from behind and rested his chin on her shoulder. Her hand went up to caress his hair and tilted her head in a way so that she could kiss his cheek.
"So what's my Shona thinking about?" He asked her, still hugging her.
She smiled, "Just thinking about the one I am starting to fall in love with." Her reply made him hug her tighter but he never lost his smile. Sweetly laying his claim on her.
"Anyone that I know?" he asked, nuzzling her cheek, "Not exactly but.." she turned in his arms, now facing him.
He pecked her lips, "But?"
She smiled widely in response, held his hand and placed it on her belly, "But you will also fall in love with him...or her, sooner than you know."
He looked at her, confusion evident in his eyes but there was hope sparkling in them, "Are you..." he needed confirmation.
She grinned widely and wished him, "Happy birthday Mr. Father-to-be!"
His happiness knew no bounds, he was ecstatic! He hugged her close and tight, pulling her off her feet and spun her round. She squealed and laughed along him. They were going to be parents and the joy of parenthood was just out of this world.
"Relax!! I am getting dizzy!" She laughed out.
He immediately stopped spinning her round and set her back on her feet. Dizzy with all that excitement and spinning, she was about to fall.
"SHONA!!"
Shivaay woke up, sweating profusely and panting for breath. Running a hand through his hair, he glanced at the wall clock and noticed that it was the same time at which he normally wakes up after his previous dreams/nightmares. It was 3 in the morning.
Feeling too restless to sleep, Shivaay pushed the blanket off him, hopped out of the bed and walked towards the balcony attached to his room. Standing there felt similar to his current dream, the only exception being the absence of the woman from his dream. His wife!?

"Is the door locked?" Narayani asked her husband Sumit.
Sumit just nodded in response, his mood pensive. "And the windows?" he heard his wife asking him. He gave her a nod again. Sensing his thoughts, Narayani placed her hand on his shoulder.
Sumit took her hand from his shoulder and held it in his, "I don't like keeping her locked like this..." he exclaimed, looking through at his sleeping daughter through the glass of the door of her room.
A tear slipped out of Narayani's eye, "What else we can do Sumit, it isn't that we hadn't tried to find a cure for her problem. All those doctors, vaidya's, couldn't cure her sleepwalking disorder. We have to do this, keep her locked or else...the last time, she was about to jump from terrace." She shuddered remembering that incident.
Sumit closed his eyes and breathed in deeply. He checked the locks again, they didn't want their Anika to sleepwalk and get in some serious trouble, like she had in past.
