Extra 1 Adeel/ Sam and Baby Ayan

'Adeel' Sameera whispered tugging at his hand, feeling anxious and nervous.

'Everything would be ok, wouldn't it?' she asked in a small voice looking over at Ayan who slept peacefully in Adeel's arm. He hadn't said anything but looked at the little boy holding firmly onto his thumb with all of his small fingers. It's all my fault' she cried soon after stopping just before the Paediatrician's cabin, he looked at his rending wife and then at the baby boy smiling against his chest.

'Nothing is your fault, we wouldn't have had him hadn't it been for you so don't blame yourself. If there's one to blame then it's me' he said in flat tone, reigning in the pain; the tension; the love into an expressionless face. He hadn't yet learned to wear his face with emotion but just when he was about to turn to his wife again, Ayan smirked in his sleep and Adeel couldn't help smiling down, maybe he would soon learn with his new son.

'He'll be fine' he assured a minute before entering the doctor's cubicle, Sameera held firmly onto his elbow struggling to keep it together. The nanny walked behind with the baby's essentials.

'So how is Ayaan doing?' The doctor asked looking at the couple who he grew in acquaintance in the last 6 months, to which Adeel nodded softly trying to move minimal not wanting his son to wake up and Sameera only signalled fine, words being hard to pronounce

'Well Mr and Mrs Rana we have the result' the doctor announced grapping a thick file, which contained every little detail related to Ayan Rana, from the alcohol overdose when he was still a foetus to the minor surgery when he was 3 weeks, to the more recent ECG scan; it basically contained Ayan's hard facts. While the doctor flipped to the last pages with a concentrated look, Sameera fretted biting her nail and Adeel sat impatiently trying his might not to scream out orders. It took a total 10 minutes in anxious wait before the doctor finally looked up at the nervous couple with an endearing smile.

'Well everything seems well, his organs are developing well. Sensory movements match the expectation of normal 6 month year olds and his weight and height are healthy considering he was premature by 1 and half months' the doctor informed and Sameera broke into a happy whimper, Adeel remained straight faced however a gentle thump stroked the back of Sameera's hand in ease and serene tear afloated in his eyes while looking down at the angel in his lap.

'But' the 3 letter word stopped the tear from descending down his face and halted his beating heart

'It'll be a lie if I say everything is normal, Ayan seems to have heart murmur' the doctor deduced looking between the couple stopping at Sameera who broke into questions, crying more openly.

'There's nothing to worry about Mrs Rana, heart murmur isn't a condition to worry about. The normal heart makes a lup-dup sound however Ayan's makes a swooshing sound, technically not something to worry about as patient tend to outgrow the condition. By adolescent he should be normal as other individuals however we would prefer to keep a close eye since I know Mr Rana would prefer that and for general medical awareness' the doctor informed further, breaking down the medical condition so the worried parent's would understand.

'It's really nothing to worry about' Sameera asked, tears catching at the end of her lash and her eyes carrying a new hope, Adeel remained straight and upright as usual.

'Yeah nothing to worry about' the doctor assured with a gentle smaile

'We would look for secondary opinion' Adeel ended getting up and looked at the doctor in genuine gratefulness, he then held onto Ayan and Sameera and escorted them out; the nanny followed closely behind knowing fully well she was unrequired and paid for doing nothing really, since Ayan was born Adeel personally handled everything related to his son and wife however he was inexperienced hence the nanny was there for advice and guidance.

'Dadima everything's fine, he is absolutely healthy' Sameera breathed resting onto Adeel's shoulder, he then heard her speak further but all his attention was on his little son still sleeping on his chest, in between he'd stretch his hands but eventually his little fingers looked for his thump and Adeel would happily follow his hand and place it close enough so the Ayan could easily catch it with a smile.
