Avneil were sleeping peacefully, with Neil wrapping his hand around his wife's waist while she was snuggled close to him. They were soon awake by Avni who yelled at Neil. "NEIL!" she yelled clutching her 9 months stomach. Yes she was heavily pregnant who could go to labor anytime. Neil shot up in worry. "Avni what happened?" he asked worriedly putting a hand on her stomach. "Stupid what do you think is happening? I'm about to give birth" she yelled. "Are you sure it's not just false labor?" he asked. Avni being irritated, grabbed his collar and yanked him to her level. "Hey Buddy! Who's giving birth you or me?" she asked. Neil became meek at his wife's demeanour and didn't know what to say. He finally meekly said "you". "Then take me to the damn hospital at this minute" she yelled. Neil obediently followed his wife's orders as he was hell scared of her. He urgently woke and told all the family members who accompanied him to the hospital. Neil and Prakash was sitting in the front while bebe and Shweta were at the back comforting Avni. Neil called Neela to the hospital who would reach there with Nanno. "Neil, my sweet darling husband, are you some turtle that you are driving the car at this speed?". "Turtle? What do you mean by that Avni?" he asked. "You are driving the car the same speed as a turtle is.  I have seen people walk faster than the speed your car is traveling. Now SPEED UP the damn car!" she yelled. Neil nodded and drove the car as fast he could while Prakash laughed. "Dad why are you laughing at my misery?" he asked. "Because your mom acted the same way when you were born" Prakash replied laughing. At the hospital Neil took Avni to the gynaecologist ward where she got settled in a room. Her doctor than came. "Mrs. Khanna, are you ready to have your babies?" she asked. "Not really doctor I'm in a lot of pain and it's all due to this man" she yelled pointing to Neil. Neil became shocked at her statement. They said birth is a miracle but the way Avni was describing it, it made it sound painful rather than a miracle. "Hehe that is true but Avni the minute you lay eyes on your babies, you will forget about all the pain" said the doctor. Avni smiled and mumbled a sorry to Neil who then gave her it's ok look. "It looks like you are going to stay here for a little while. You are only 2 centimetres dilated and you need to be atleast 10 centimetres or even more if its twins". Avni face went paled and she started shaking her head vigourously. "No, I can't do this. I can't give birth. I won't do a good job" she started crying. "Doctor can I" asked Neil as he indicated to be alone with Avni. The doctor nodded and smiled leaving the room.  Neil then went to Avni and sat
down beside her cupping her face. "Avni Look at me". She did as she was told. He saw her eyes which were full of tears and fear. "Kya hua? Why are you so worried huh?". "Neil.. I'm scared" she stammered. "What are you scared of baby?". "I'm scared that I won't do a good job. I might end up doing something wrong and I'm scared that I might not be a good mother. I'm afraid that this child may not give birth and it will be all my fault" she cried. Neil sighed. Neela Maa told him that people tend to be emotional in pregnancy but he hated seeing his wife's tears. He quickly wiped her tears as he couldn't see any more. "Avni shhh, what are you talking about huh? That you won't do this properly? If you can't do a regular birth then we will do C section. That's where the doctor will pull our baby from your stomach. And you said about being a bad mother? Bullshit! I don't believe this. Avni there is no doubt in my mind that you won't be the best mother. I have firm belief that you will be a wonderful mother. You already are a wonderful daughter, a wonder daughter in law and an incredible wife. I don't know what I would do without you. You are a piece of my heart and now our children will be a piece of my heart too". Avni smiled and couldn't believe that she got such a caring husband. She started crying again. "Areh ab kya hua baba?" Neil asked. "Neil I don't deserve you! You are so handsome and caring and look you are with me, a ugly duckling who is so fat rn that she may never be skinny again!". " Aye Bhagwan. Please help me deal with her mood swings" he thought. "Haan Woh yo hai" he teased. Avni eyes widened as she never expected Neil to talk like this. "Neil! Are you calling me fat? Are you saying I'm not beautiful" she fumed. "God her mood swings. One minute she was crying and now she is angry? I can never understand woman" he thought. "Baba I was just teasing you. Look you are beautiful in your way. I love how you act like a lady don and that you care for anyone. I fell in love with your beauty and courage, not your figure. As you being fat then yes you are fat but that's only because you are carrying our treasures. I don't mind that because our treasures are our symbol of our loves. I can't imagine what you are going through and can never thank you enough for bringing our treasures in our lives". Avni then became emotional and started tearing. "Avni no more. What's that dialogue? Haan Pushpa I hate tears so please no more tears". Avni nodded. "Neil, thank you for convincing me and loving me. I'm ready" she stated. Neil smiled and gave her a kiss on the forehead before calling the doctor. "Mrs Khanna you are 4 centimetres dialated so we still have a way to go. You may experience some contractions which Neil and your members can help you" said the doctor. Avni nodded while Neil called in the lady's to help her out. The next hour was tough for Avneil as Avni was struggling and Neil was trying to support her. Avni on the other hand was abusing him, stating that he is the cause of her pain. "You couldn't wait that night now could you? You had to do it huh? First you give me pleasure than give me pain damn it" she complained. Neil became embarrassed at this while the ladies gave him teasing glances. His poor hand was being broken due to his lady don's grip on him. The lady's tried calming Avni down but all that she could do was complain about Neil. Then after what seemed like two days but was 3 hours, she was finally 10 centimetres dialated which meant she was able to give birth. The ladies left the room while Neil stayed with Avni. He wiped her forehead and mumbled sweet nothings while she just grunted. "Neil! If anything happened to me than promise me that you will take of our children and our family" she pleaded. Neil became shocked at her answer. "Avni nothing of that will happen ok?". He then started to help her push. Each push was tough for Avni. It was as if she was going through intense physical training. She stumped back on the bed. "Neil I can't do this". "Avni come on we have to do it" he said motivating her. She finally gave one push which got baby 1 which was a girl. Neil smiled at his newborn baby. "We will take her for cleaning" said the nurse while Avni started pushing for Baby 2. She gave a few more pushes and got our baby 2 which was a boy. Avni smiled as both her baby's were back in her and Neil's arm. "Look Neil, we finally have our babies. We finally have our treasures" he replied. He then gave her a soft kiss which she reciprocated equally softly to seal their precious moment. The family coming in broke their moments. "Oh gods. These kids are so cute. They look just like my Tillu" stated Shweta. "Oye Madam Madonna, they look like Avni" stated Bebe. "I disagree. Our grandson looks just like his mother. I am sure he will carry the fire that she has while our granddaughter looks like her father. She will be the water who will calm her brother down" said Neela. Everyone agreed with her. "Avni puttar did you and Tillu decide a name for our grandchildren?".  " I decided to name the boy child Nishaan as he is a symbol of our love". "While I decided to name our girl Neelajaana after Neela Maa as she was the one who brought me and Avni together". Neela eyes watered at this along with the others. "I can't believe this" cried Neela. "Maa you gave me everything in my life and I want to respect you which is why I'm naming my child after you. You were the one who gave me a life after I was shot. I wouldn't be here if it weren't for you" explained Avni. "Tillu you did a ejob. The names are so beautiful" cried Shweta. The next few minutes they all cooed over the baby when the doctor. Prakash asked for a photo which she complied to. There it was Avneil perfect family in a photo. Something to remember for a life time. "I love you Neil" Avni whispered in the photo. Neil smiled and whispered an "I love you back".
