Your quote of:
While he always knew that the other family members wanted him for their protection,
"He realizes that riddhima needs him for her survival"
Makes me think that of course he is beginning to realise how deeply his life is now entwined with Rhiddimas; but when she was about to leaves him in Ahana track he said the right words "I'll die if you leave me", and "out of us two you are the stronger" or something like it.
See when Vansh went over the cliff I am sure Rhiddima wanted nothing more than to die and join him..had there been no VR family she would have jumped...she stayed alive in order to safeguard his family; Dadi; Ishani; Angree, Chacchi, Chacchu; Aryan and Siya; but also to make sure Anu & Kabir did not do any more damage.
Rhiddima is really his shield..to me its the other way around Vansh needs Rhiddima for his survival...not just as his wife but because she is teaching him about relationships; family and giving him an emotional home to come to.
Your other observation is beautiful
"Everybody wants to be protected
Even The protector of a kingdom, of a jungle, of a home, wants someone to protect them
To be comforted
To feel the sense of security
To lay down in his/her arms and let go of the burden they have as a protector"
Absolutely agree with your above observation. I would say this is what Rhiddma gives him...she loves him for who he is to her, not his money; status or power..that is why he is terrified of losong her, because now she is his home, his compass, his guide.
As to pregnancy track I said it would come...yes Vansh does not want a child of his to face danger...but Ishani and her child could face danger and so could Siya too down the line... right now having realised he was so close to death for the first time made him aware of his mortality
..no longer does he control destiny - destiny now controls him.
