The ninth month was running quite fast. Annika being a mother always felt emotional about the baby during her pregnancy but in her last month she saw a completely different side of Shivay where he got too emotional on petty issues, the curiosity, the impatience, the wait to meet the baby were the only emotions she saw in him.

He still chatted with the baby for hours keeping his hands on her belly. One thing was for sure! The baby connected with him more than he connected with Annika. It made her heart blossom with happiness as well as pride. She loved the father baby bond.

Everything was going on so well except the fact that Karan was losing on his life. Shivika always made sure that they keep Karan happy.

•SHIVIKA's ROOM•
It was a normal day,  Shivay was busy oiling Annika's swollen feets while she was having her favourite ice cream. Suddenly she kept her hands on her belly and started screaming

"Ahhh Shivay" she screamed making him worried.

"Annikaa! What happened? Are you okay! Oh god should I call the doctor? Speak Annika!!! Is the baby coming out?" Shivay bombarded her with numerous questions.

And the next moment he saw her laughing hard.
"What the wuck?? Why you laughing Annika?" Shivay asked in confusion.

"I.m..so..sorry Shivay" she said laughing.

"What do you mean?" he asked her looking into her eyes.

"I m alright Shivay, Nothing has happened. I was just kidding" she said hiding her giggle realising the seriousness in his eyes.

"Are you kidding me Annika? How can you do that? Is this some kind of joke? Do you even realise what I got through watching you like that? I can't believe you can make a joke of this situation even after knowing how worried I get for you and the baby" Shivay literally spoke with anger in his tone.

Annika felt bad. She knew she was wrong this time.
"Shi..Shivay listen to me" she said trying to convince.

"Let's not talk on this anymore" he said and went out of the room.

She knew she was wrong although her intentions were not to hurt him. She was just playing around. But it was her fault, even after knowing that Shivay is really emotional and vulnerable when it came to her and their baby, she hurted his emotions. She was not feeling good.

Shivay was now sitting in the living room. He knew he should not have shouted on Annika but he just couldn't control. He cannot take any risk when it came to his baby and Annika. Anyways these days he remained very scared about both of them. It was her last month and he was really worried for them. All he prayed and wished for was the healthy arrival of his baby and for the wellness of his life, his Annika. That certain joke literally shook him off in those 20 seconds of his life. He could not indulge in any joke when it came to Annika and baby.

Annika was really feeling sorry for her behaviour on the other hand Shivay already started missing her. Whatever be the case, he cannot live without her even for a second and even though he was hurt but he knew she can never intentionally do it to make him hurt. He decided to go back to her.

The moment Shivay reached the room, he saw Annika trembling with teary eyes, her hands were on her belly and she was schreaming his name

"Shi...vaayyyy" she shouted on top her voice.

For a second Shivay thought she was again making a fool of him and he was about to shout on her but the moment he saw her tears he realised the time has come.
