Hania is the perfect example of the fact that when Allah wants to create life, no contraception in the world can prevent that. 

She had come into existence after my very first time with Fawad. My husband had asked me whether I was ready for a baby, and I wasn't, so we'd used protection. I had been a young girl deeply in love, and was curious about s*xual intimacy with my husband, the love of my life, and I had not been ready for the responsibility of being a mother. 

And yet, Hania still ended up coming into existence. Initially I was confused, and a little anxious, but not once had I regretted motherhood. 

The announcement of my pregnancy with Hani had brought immense joy to both the Ali and Sheikh family, as she united both in an even stronger bond. 

And now that very same Hania was telling me that she had taken a pregnancy test, which had come out positive. 

"Mama? Are you okay?" Hani asked, cautiously when I didn't say anything for a few minutes. "Breathe."

"You're pregnant?!" I whispered. "As in, you're having a baby?"

I nodded.

"Hania!" I burst into tears, throwing my arms around her. "Oh my God! My baby's having a baby!" 

I was overwhelmed with emotions. My Hania, my firstborn was going to be a mother, In Sha Allah. She was going to make me a Nano! 

Suddenly realising something, I pulled back, keeping my hands on her shoulders. I recited Ayat-ul-Kursi and blew it over her. "May Allah always keep you safe from evil eyes, and may He bless you and Hamza with a healthy baby. Ameen." I looked at her, straight into those eyes that were a mirror of mine. "Ya Allah! When did you grow up, Hania? It feels just like yesterday when I found out that I was pregnant with you, and now..."

"Well, clearly a lot of time has gone by since then." She grinned.

"Oh, Hani. Sweetheart." I couldn't stop crying as I held her tightly. 

"Mama, I'm telling you because I really, really need you." Now, Hani was in tears. "I am fortunate enough to have you, Alhumdulillah, and I need all your support." 

"Always, Hani." I kissed her cheek. "I'm here for you, whenever you need me." An excited smile appeared on my face. "I can't believe that I'm going to be a Nano! Ma Sha Allah!" I frowned as I realised something. "Hamza knows, right?"

"Of course." She nodded. "He has the first right to know, doesn't he?"

"Absolutely." I slid my arm through hers. "Allah! I can't wait to go shopping!"

Hani rolled her eyes. "Yeah, I expected that, Mama."

We headed out together, feeling an intense amount of happiness that made both of us glow, I believe.

"Are we telling your father?" I asked Hania, almost hopefully.

She narrowed her eyes at me. "You'll get a stomach ache if you keep a secret from him, right?"

"You know me." I shrugged sheepishly.

"Only Papa, but not in front of me." Hania's cheeks turned pink. "It feels awkward."

"Aww, mera bacha." I pinched Hani's cheek. "Mama banay ja rahi ho, In Sha Allah, aur phir bhi bachon ki tarhan sharmati ho."
