Hashim came back home after a long tiring day.He had a important visit at construction site of company so he payed a visit there...but he was continuously thinking about Asmara.

"Meri Asmi kesi hai(How is my Asmi?)"Hashim asked entering the room.

"Fine!"Asmara forced a small smile on her face.

"Itni choti smile?(this little smile?)"Hashim asked loosening his tie,sitting on the bed beside his titli.

"Hashim how was your visit there?"Asmara asked smilingly gulping the lump formed in her throat.

"It was good,but i was tensed about my Titli!"Hashim ruffled her hair lightly.

"I'll bring water for you!"Asmara said trying to get up from bed.

"Asmi! Keep sitting here...I have asked amina aunty she will bring water and food too."

"Hashim kuch poochun ap sy?(can I ask you something?)"Asmara asked looking towards him.

"I knew it you seem disturbed...tell me what happened?"Hashim asked holding her hand interwining his fingers with hers.

"Hashim what if...if I die?"Asmara asked while tears brimmed at the corner of her eyes.

Hashim flinched at his place listening to her words,his hold on her hand loosened for a minute as he was shocked what type of fear she has."Why are you talking like this?"Hashim asked holding her hand tightly.

"Hashim I have seen in documentary,many girls die during delivery!"Asmara said and two to three slipped her eyes.

"Asmi...!!!"

"I don't want to die...I want to see my babies."Asmara asked as it was her biggest wish.

"You are not dying Asmi...stop thinking rubbish!"Hashim pulled her in his chest holding her shoulders.

"I want to hold my babies!"Asmara asked holding his shirt.

"I want to hold my babies when they will be in my titli's arms...I want us to hold them together!"Hashim gently squeezed her in the hug.

"Hashim."

"Who asked you to watch that documentary...I shouldn't have gone away from you...meri pagal asmi!"

"I just saw that randomly."

"Itni dangerous random cheezen na dekha ka...!"

"Ouch!"

"What happened?"

"My stomach is gurgling so strongly!"Asmara clutching her stomach.

"Silly girl babies kick...how many times should I tell you this?"

"My babies are just moving,they can't kick me!"Asmara said making Hashim chuckle.

"Hashim but this time,its so strong gurgling!"Asmara placed her hands on her belly.

"We should go to Hospital I think."

Hashim said and Asmara panicked.

"Hashim look today is 9th and Doctor have given the date of 12 so why would we rush...It will get normal...I don't want to go now!"

"Asmi...its ok,tell me is it paining?"

Hashim asked with concern filled voice.

"It was wave of strong gurgle,now look there is nothing!"Asmara placed Hashim's hand on her belly.

"Yeah Its fine...we'll ask doctor tomorrow about it."

"Let's sleep Hashim...I am okay now."Asmara said lying on the bed.

"Dinner is still left Titli!"

"Oh I forgot."

"Let's have it first."

Maid served them dinner and they had it but Hashim noticed during the whole time Asmara was tensed.

After having food Hashim thought of talking to her."Asmi you know you should not get tensed,

everything will be fine,you are healthy,babies are healthy,there is no complication,nothing will happen to you...stay positive please,don't take stress!"

"Hashim I am fine now...don't take stress because of my stupid thinkings! Let's sleep now."Asmara held his hand.

"Yeah sleep and tension free!"Hashim said and they retired to their bed for sleeping.

It was almost 3:00 in the morning when Asmara felt extreme contractions in her belly...even tears welled up in her eyes.She shook Hashim who was sleeping peacefully.

"Ha..Hashim,Hashim!"Her voice was weak.

Hashim woke up with a jerk...he looked towards her sweaty face

"Asmara?"

"Hashim,its paining...I can't bear anymore!"Asmara said with heavy breathings.

"Wait wait,we'll go to hospital now,get up...everything will be fine soon."Hashim said wiping her sweat off her face.

"Hashim!"Asmara said like a baby.

"Ji meri Jan...just 15 minutes we'll reach there."Hashim caressed her cheeks then held her hand taking her to car.He made her sit in car and started driving towards hospital.and Asmara was chanting his name all the time till they reached hospital.

"Hashim I don't want to...!"Asmara pleaded like a baby when doctor was taking her to labour room.

"Relax,relax...everything will be fine...I am right here!"Hashim said caressing her hair gently calming her down."Hashim ki titli bohat strong hai...sab theek ho jaye ga!"Hashim pecked her forehead and doctor took her to labour room assuring Hashim that everything will be fine.

Hashim called his Baba and Asmara's parents about the situation and they said they will reach hospital soon.

Hashim kept pacing around in the corridor of the hospital as he was tensed beyond limit seeing Asmara's condition,her pleadings,her pain and then those words of her kept ringing in his mind("what if I die?")no matter how much he tried to wave them off still those words were haunting him.He pressed his forehead in tension and kept praying for his titli's and babies' safety."Ya Allah give her strength to bear all this...keep all of them safe!"

"Hashim beta?"Shiza said coming towards him.

"Aunty."

"Asmi is in labour room,its been twenty minutes."He sound tensed.

"Relax...it takes time,she will be fine In sha Allah!"Shiza patted his shoulder.

"Baba,Uncle,Sara?"Hashim asked.

"They were parking the car,coming...look already here!"

Everybody came and met Hashim.

And then they heard the baby cries...Hashim rushed towards the door.

After a few minutes doctor came out with a smile on her face she congratulated Hashim.

"Your Asmi and babies are safe,

Ma sha Allah...go meet them!"

Hashim ran inside...nurse was holding two little babies trying to place them in the crib nearby Asmara's bed."give them to me please."Asmara said feebly,Hashim smiled a little listening to her and went near them.

Nurse placed the baby boy in Asmara's arms while Hashim held his baby girl...sitting on the bed infront of his Titli.

"Hashim...!"Asmara called his name as her eyes moistened a little with the tears of happiness.

Hashim went towards Asmara and placed a kissed on her forehead...Asmara passed a biggest smile to him closing her eyes."kiss her!"Hashim forwarded his baby girl near Asmi making her frown.

"Kiss her because I am dying to kiss her...but we had a deal,you will kiss our babies first."Hashim said and Asmara chuckled.

She held her baby boy and placed lingering kiss on his temple and then looking at her daughter she smiled placing a kiss on her forehead too."Now you can kiss them!"Asmara giggled a little.

"You kissed your son first,I'll kiss my daughter first!"Hashim peppered baby girl's face with kisses.Asmara admired looking at him.Hashim then placed her in Asmara's lap holding his boy he did the same with him.

He then called out the Azaan in both of his babies ears while Asmara closed her eyes resting her head on the bed as she was tired but a smile never left her face.

"Take rest for sometime,I'll meet doctor till then."Hashim kissed her forehead after placing the babies in crib.

"Hashim,don't talk to that cruel doctor,she made my baby cry,she beated him up!"Asmara said with a flaring nose and Hashim chuckled facepalming himself.

"She made him cry and you are chuckling...he is your son Hashim!"Asmara got angry.

"Pagal Asmi...its necessary for baby to cry...and if the baby don't cry on his own then doctors make them cry...haven't you seen the documentary of first cry?"Hashim pulled her cheeks gently.

"Oh I forgot."Asmara said slowly understanding everything.

"You are blunderhead mam,forgetting every important thing!"Hashim lightly pinched her nose.

"What else I forgot?" Asmara placed a finger on her chin.

"Something very special!"

"Bta den na please(please tell me)"

Asmara said with a cute pout.

"No...find out yourself,I am going to doctor for signing discharge papers and our whole family is outside waiting to meet you and babies."

"Jayen mai ap sy nhi bolti,I am in so much pain phir bhi ap nakhray kr rhy hain!"Asmara said looking sideways.

"Ok as you wish...I am going!"Hashim gave a cheeky smile.

"Hashim please!"Asmara held his hand.

"Kaan mein btaon?"Hashim said giving in to her wife's pleadings and her face lit up instantly,she nodded.

"Happy anniversary Hashim ki titli!"Hashim whispered in her ear and pecked her cheek.

"Oh my Allah,Hashim I forgot this!"Asmara gasped.

"Its Happiest anniversary Hashim,we have our two babies with us...idhar aayen(come here) and hug me please!"Asmara said tugging at Hashim's arm,Hashim chuckled at her demand and went sat on the bed infront of her.

Asmara pulled him in hug,hugging him as tightly as she can"Thank you for coming into my life and handling me and thank you for everything...I love you!"Asmara said in the hug.

"Its my pleasure to be in your life,to handle you and most of all to love you...Infact I should thank you for giving me my most precious gift in the form of our babies...love you too my love!"Hashim smiled caressing her back.

And there was a knock on the door...Hashim tried moving away from hug but Asmara tightened her hold in the hug."Asmi someone is outside and we are not in our home,leave me please."Hashim pleaded.

Asmara shook her head and said"after almost 5 months I am this close to you,your babies always came in between us and now when I have a chance I'll not leave you!"

"Asmi please wait till we go home!"Hashim pleaded again.

"No...my coward husband!"Asmara kept clinging to him.

"I'll tell you how brave I am just wait titli,I'll kiss you infront of everyone!"Hashim warned but Asmara being Asmara remain unaffected and said"okay as you wish!"

"Stubborn Asmi!"Hashim laughed.

"Apki Asmi!"Asmara giggled.

And the baby girl started crying.

"Now let me see my baby girl!"Hashim moved away from hug.

"This is not right baby girl,again coming in between!"Asmara said holding her girl carefully while Hashim chuckled.

"Look my boy is super calm just like his mama!"Asmara praised her son.

"No discrimination in babies madam!"Hashim warned.

"Just kidding Hashim!"Asmara giggled and Hashim smiled.

Later on their parents met with the the newly arrived babies and the blessed couple and afterwards they went to Hashim's house with Asmara's mother.
