Third Person POV:---

He reached out for her, only to found that she wasn't there. Rubbing his eyes, Ayaan opened his eyes and glance beside him, where his wife was supposed to be. Not finding her there, a frown make its way on his forehead. He switched on the lights and get out of the bed. He roam his hand through his hair and yelled, "ZOYA!!"

It was 9.a.m. in the morning and his wife was nowhere to be seen.

Not getting a response he yelled again.

"KAHA HO TUM ZOYA???" He was starting to get worried.

Again not getting a response, he checked the balcony, closet of their room. Until some noises from the bathroom caught his attention. Without thinking anything he ran towards it. And there was his wife, Zoya puking out her guts. Sweats was formed on her forehead and her hair which was tied in a bun was opened and was all over the place.

"Ye Kya Haal Ho Gaya Hai Zoya Tumhara? Are you alright?" Ayaan asked with full of concern as he walked towards her and brushing a lock of hair away from her eyes and ties her hair in a loose low bun.

"Ayaan Wo-Wohhh...." Zoya cutt off her own sentence as she again puked.

Her face was getting slightly pale. After she was done puking and brushing her teeth, Ayaan sweep her off in his arms and started walking towards their bed. He settle her down on the bed and was about to go in the kitchen to bring breakfast for them both since Zoya was not feeling well. So he thought it would be better if they do their breakfast in their room itself.

To say he was worried for his wife would be an understatement. Since last few days Zoya wasn't feeling well. She constantly pukes whatever she ate and couple of times she fainted in his presence. He was determined to take her to a doctor despite her saying 'No'.

"Kaha Jaare Hai Aap?" Zoya asked.

"To bring breakfast for us."

"Don't bring for me, Ayaan. I don't feel like eating anything right now." She said tiredly.

Making him more concerned than before.

And like nothing happened she drifted off to sleep, while Ayaan stare at his wife wondering why she was behaving weirdly.

"" Ayaan happiness knew no bound. As he picked up Zoya in his arms and twirl her around. Making her shriek and wrap her hands around his neck and she hide her face in his neck to hide her embarrassment.

He states loudly glancing at Doctor and Zoya after putting her down. The doctor had a genuine smile on her face, as it's was her first time to see someone with such excitement. While Zoya unconsciously place her hand on her belly. She was happy too, but somewhat terrified too. She had heard how dangerous is going into labour. She herself had witnessed her sister, Farah's condition during her pregnancy.

Ayaan eyes peek at his wife, only to found her staring at him with her eyes wide and nervous as she smiles. He can sense she's torn, her heart in two places at once.

He was about to ask her about it, when doctor starts talking capturing their both attention.

"Yes, Mrs. Zoya Ayaan Khan. You are pregnant and that too three weeks pregnant."

"Since you had another life in you, Mrs Khan. You need to take extra care of yourself. Koi Laparwae Nahi Karni."

"Doctor Aap Uski Fikar Na Kare. I myself will look after her." Exclaims Ayaan interwines his hand with his wife, Zoya.

"I have prescribed the medicines that she need to take time to time."

Ayaan opened his one eyes to see Zoya was poking her fingers in his cheeks to wake him up. She was slightly pouting while battling her eyelashes continuously. Her long black hair was on her left shoulder, making her look like a goddess. He couldn't believe that there was time when this goddess that was in front of him was insecure about her looks. Heck she was so breath taking that she left behind all the bollywood actress behind.

"Kya Hua Zoya?" He asked getting up, slightly feeling worried. "Are you okay?"

"Well I am fine." She assured, while biting her lips. "I want to eat Butterscotch Icecream."

"Abhi?" Asked Ayaan with his eyes wide open. He glance at his mobile to see it was 6.a.m. early in the morning. "Itni Subah?"

"Ayaannnnn..." She pouts again, looking so cute, that he couldn't deny.

"Ok Baba!!! As you wish." He said placing a kiss on her cheeks and exits the room.

Entering the kitchen, he opened the refrigerator which was full of various icecreams and chocolates. Usually, Zoya had been craving different icecreams and chocolates, so he had buyed all flavours of icecream but still he could find some flavours of icecream missing, especially Strawberry one's. And it didn't even take him a second to guess, the culprit was his sister, Kinza. Who was obsessed with strawberry icecream. Heck, she could even kill someone for it.

Picking out the butterscotch one, he closed the door of the refrigerator. He exit the kitchen and started making his way towards his room.

"Here's your Icecream." Said Ayaan passing it to Zoya, who shakes her head.

"Ab Kya Hua?" Asked Ayaan with a frown on his face.

"Mujhe Yeh Nahi Vanilla Chahiye!!"

"But you asked for this one." Stated Ayaan abruptly. Which came out a little harsher.

Tears started making its way towards Zoya's eyes, as she whispers. "Kitne Badal Gaye Hai Aap Ayaan!! Bade Mohabbat Ke Daawe Kiye The Aapne. Kya Itne Hi Thi Aapki Mohabbat."

"Sahi Kehte Thi Iqra Sab Aadmi Ek Jaese Hote Hai. Before Marriage they are so lovey dovey but after Marriage they show their true colours."

Ayaan who was slightly sleepy had his eyes and mouth open. As he listens his wife complaints regarding himself. Zoya was now two months pregnant. And whenever Ayaan declines whatever Zoya asked him, she will emotionally blackmail him. Since Ayaan was wiser, he knew it was the hormones that had his wife behave like this, so he will silently listens whatever she had to say.

"Accha Baba I am sorry!!" Ayaan said softly. "You want Vanilla one, I will go and get it."

Before he can leave the room, Zoya said loudly. "I love you Jaana."

With a smile adorning Ayaan face, that has his dimple appear on both his cheeks, he replied, "I love you too, Jaan".

"Jaana Chode!! Na Kare Aese!!" Zoya gasp in horror.

"Karne Do Jaan!! I know how damn tired you are. Pregnancy might be taking a troll on you."

"But still Ayaan-----"

Ayaan cutt her off by kissing her on the lips. During this pregnancy, Ayaan found a way to stop Zoya's bickering by kissing her passionately. And like everytime it works.

Zoya was a blushing mess after Ayaan pull away from the kiss and continued massaging her legs. Zoya was five months pregnant now. And even her bump had started showing, due to which Zoya often find difficult to walk and sit. She often complaints to Ayaan how fat had she gotten. But according to Ayaan his wife Zoya looked so cute and had gotten a certain glow on her face which made his wife more beautiful than before.

"Jaana?"

"Hmm..."

"What do you what our baby to be? A girl or a boy?" Asked Zoya curiously.

"Obviously, a girl who would be as beautiful as you." Said Ayaan in a heartbeat, making Zoya smile.

Zoya looked at him through her eyelashes, feeling proud of herself for falling for such a lovely person. She was somewhat scared, that Ayaan might want a boy just like her father. But after hearing his response, she felt content and satisfied.

"I know I am Handsome. Don't make it obvious by ogling at me." Ayaan joked, which made her chuckle shaking her head.

'He is too obsessed with himself.' She thought to herself.

"You know Ayaan I wanted to be a doctor since I was a child." Said Zoya biting her lips staring at the wall behind him.

"Whenever my parents or Farah Appi got hurt, I used to feel helpless. Since I was small and couldn't do anything. But as I grew up I started studying hard in hopes of becoming a doctor." She smiled sadly as she continued, all the while Ayaan listens quietly.

"I topped in my school during my SSC. But when I said my Abba that I want to take science he denied straight away." She said as a tear fall away from her eyes.

"Yo-You k-know...... what he said?" She hiccups as her eyes met his.

"Kya Karoge Tum Doctor Banke Aakhir Tumhe Kisi Aur Ghar Mai Jaakar Chula Chauka Hi Sambhalna Hai...." She whispers, averting her eyes away from him. That alone sentence might break every girl's heart. That alone statement was so heartbreaking for a girl to hear.

"But when I came here, in this house. I saw how Baba treats Kinza and let her study Science to become an Engineer. My respect for him grew to no bounds." She exclaims with a smile, as she wipe the tears away from her eyes, which unknowingly flew out of her eyes.

"I just want you to promise me something." She said placing her hand in front of him.

"Promise me that you won't stand as a barrier between our child dream and love. And instead you would support our child."

"I promise Zoya." Ayaan placed his hand on her, promising her.
