"Thapki stop!"

"We have to... mmm ...stop now...Shit..."

"Oookaayy...we really need to stop...or else I..."

"BAS!...oh God...Nahi...NO...THAPKI...ENOUGH"

"Thapki?" Bihaan timidly asked his wife after a while who was now sitting on the bed. Bihaan lit the bedside table lamp.

"Billi?" he asked again when Thapki didn't answer. Bihaan sat up and tried to put his hand around her shoulder which was viciously swatted away.

"Thapki...are you crying?" Bihaan asked miserably and tried to hug his wife yet again and was viciously rebuffed once more.

"Thapki, billi baby...don't...please...why are you crying?"

"W-w-what else can I do but cry? I am so ug-ugly I can't even attract my h-h-husband. I am a complete failure. He finds me r-r-repulsive" Thapki began to cry in earnest.

Bihaan forcefully hugged his wife this time, fighting her hands, not letting them stop him.

"Nooo...he doesn't find you repulsive, baby..."

"He d-d-oes...Nobody loves me anymore...I have no more r-reason to live." Thapki wailed dramatically.

"Billi, you know we can't do stuff...you are not healed yet...you are still recovering..."

Thapki rounded on Bihaan in a flash, "Who said that?? My body, I know b-best...and I am completely, absolutely fine now...totally recovered, I am sick and t-tired of you treating me like I am made of glass or about to drop d-dead any second."

"Thapki, it is too soon...you are not--"

"I even gained 6.5 pounds in last 2 weeks, tell me the truth, do you f-find me fat ? Is that what turning you o-off?"

"Thapki---nothing is turning me off, I just have to look at you and I get ready."

Thapki slid both her hands up his chest and wound them around his neck.She moved and sat astride Bihaan wrapping her legs around his waist.

"Then why?? Why are you denying yourself B-Bihaan? Love me...make love to me, baby please" Thapki purred seductively rubbing herself on Bihaan, raining kisses on his torso, throat, jaw.

"Thapki--"Bihaan said and half-heartedly tried to free himself his resolve already crumbling. After all he was a human and not made of stone to remain unmoved at his wife's oh so sweet seduction.

It was becoming increasingly hard to stop himself from taking Thapki ultimately every time they make-out nowadays. At the beginning of their honeymoon, Thapki was genuinely weak, with passing days, she began to get stronger bit by bit and they enjoyed making out like teenagers all the time not engaging in the final act. However, recently Thapki who had gained back her strength and health was all ready to resume back their sex-life. But Bihaan was not...he was not ready to have sex with his wife...not now, not ever, he dreaded.

He didn't want Thapki to get pregnant period. In fact, he was thinking maybe they should adopt, that way Thapki would not have to get pregnant ever. He would die before he sees his Thapki in the condition he found her few weeks back in the hospital. Bihaan shuddered.

"Did you just shudder?" Thapki asked incredulously blinking her eyes like an owl at Bihaan. Bihaan looked at her, his mind still on the hospital bed with an almost life less Thapki on it. Thapki looked at Bihaan's shattered expression and her eyes began to tear up.

"I am k-kissing you and all you are feeling is disgust...I can see it in your f-face..." Thapki sniffed, her lower lip was trembling.

Bihaan cradled Thapki's lovely face on his hands and bore her down to the pillow, moving over her body. Bihaan kissed her deeply, drank from her until all Thapki's insecurities melt away...He looked at her then,

"Thapki listen to me, as much as I want to, I can't make love to you."

"Why?"

"Because I am scared."

"Scared of w-what?"

"Scared I might get you with child"

"You will eventually get me with child that is for s-s-sure... for now you can use the box I know you have in your suitcase."

"No, Thapki, I can't..."

"Why the hell not?"

"Because condoms are not 100 % effective, there will always be a chance you can get pregnant."

"Are you serious?"

"Yes , I am. I am very serious about you. I can't take any chance where you are concerned. There are always chances of miscarriage with every pregnancy and I can never get you pregnant , knowing there is a chance for miscarriage and make you go through what you went through again "

"You do r-realise you are not making sense, right baby?In fact what you are saying is ridiculous...I a-admit, it is too soon to try again but eventually I would like to have your baby."

"No" Bihaan said simply.

"What do you mean by 'N-No'?"

"No, I don't want to have any child...ever."

Thapki was silent for a moment and simply looked at Bihaan who was seriously looking at her.

Thapki cradled his face with her hands,

"Because you are sc-scared I might miscarry again?"

Bihaan nodded.

"And you don't want to make l-love to me in case I get pregnant by m-mistake?"

Bihaan nodded again.

"So what do you want to do now? Because no method of birth control is 100 % effective. There will always be a c-chance I might get pregnant... Except for one."

Bihaan asked eagerly, "What is that? Tell me"

"Abstinence. You are welcome to it, now get off m-me and let me sleep."

"Thapki...there has to be some other way..."

"Shut up Bihaan, let me s-sleep."

"Thapki...you are my everything, my world, my life, my most precious treasure, if anything happens to you I will die, I love you so much. So no matter how much it hurts me or you I can't gamble with your life or put your life at risk. "

Thapki sighed, "I know B-Bihaan, you are mine too. But it doesn't mean, because of s-some hypothetical scenario which may or may not happen one should stop l-living. I was unfortunate enough to have an ac-accident, but I am not the only one, hundreds thousands of women all around the w-world from the beginning of time have gone through what I h-have. They didn't stop living just because they had a miscarriage and I won't too. And I know y-you won't as well. You just need more time. It is okay I will wait ...and we will have a baby, not only one but at least half a d-dozen."

Bihaan moved from above her after that speech and got out of the bed without saying anything.

"Where are you going Bihaan?" Thapki asked worriedly.

"To get the damn box from my suitcase" Bihaan said grumpily.

8 months later...

19^th November 2016, 12:35 AM

Bihaan and Thapki's bedroom...

"Happy Birthday, Mr. Bihaan Pandey."

"Thank you, Mrs Bihaan Pandey. That was the best birthday present I have ever received." Bihaan said with a self satisfied smile and wink. He was still breathing hard; a thin sheen of sweat covered his body though it was a cold November night. "I have a feeling this is going to be the best birthday of my life so far." Saying that, Bihaan rolled to his back taking his naked wife with him and draped her over his body.

Thapki kissed him once and said, "That was not your birthday p-present."

"No?"

"No--this is." Thapki took something from under the pillow and handed him.

"What is this?" Bihaan took it excitedly. But his expression changed from eager and happy to scared in a second.

"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?" He exclaimed in horror and sat up making Thapki fall into the bed from where she was lying which was him.

"I am p-pregnant." Thapki said calmly with a smile already prepared for the scene her husband was going to make now. She had a fair idea how Bihaan was going to react.

"I can deduce that" Bihaan cried out looking at the pregnancy test stick bearing two lines indicating positive result, " What I want to know is how?"

"You know how, there was hardly ever a n-night you didn't make love to me. And babies are conceived when two p-people make love that too so frequently."

"Thapki stop it, you very well know what I am asking. You are taking birth-control shots, you couldn't be pregnant, we decided to wait at least 3 years remember?"

"No, WE never d-decided, YOU decided to wait for 3 years, I wanted as soon as possible and you know i-it"

"THAPKI--"

"Oh shut up Bihaan, you are n-nothing but a brute, unfeeling monster. What w-will I tell my baby, how his father r-reacted when he first heard of him? That your father didn't w-want you?"

"I didn't say that"

"No? Then why are you being so n-nasty?"

"I am freaking out that is why. I am shocked. I don't know how to react."

Bihaan looked totally white. Thapki took pity on him and hugged him tight. "You are going to be a d-daddy, Bihaan. You will be the world's most wonderful dad ever, I j-just know it."

She knew how Bihaan felt regarding babies, ever since her miscarriage, Bihaan didn't want to even think about a baby, his irrational fear of losing Thapki. But Thapki couldn't wait for Bihaan to get over his silly fear. She stopped taking shots and here she was now, already 2 months pregnant.

"OH MY GOD" Bihaan choked suddenly, "I just made love to you in the roughest way possible, I think I hurt the baby already, Thapki move get ready we have to go to the hospital, get you checked..."

Thapki smiled and hugged him tighter. "Baby is fine Bihaan, don't worry. He is snug inside my womb s-safe and sound probably sleeping r-right now"

"Thapki I am sorry I am being such a douche...but I don't know--" Bihaan said looking at her tummy with apprehension.

"It is okay baby, I am s-sure you will react better next time."

"Please let me deal with this one first and talk about next time later."

"Okay"

"Thapki?" Bihaan said after a while, gently patting his hand over her tummy.

"I think you have given me the best gift ever possible for my birthday."

"I know" Thapki feeling smug.

"I love you more than my life."

"I love you more than my l-life too."

7 months later another shock was waiting for Bihaan, when instead of being greeted by his baby, he was greeted by his babies. Thapki gave birth to two twin boys.
