100• Happily Ever After

After 6 Months

"We only have three months left to have you in our lives, baby. Mumma is both excited and nervous." Nandini was talking to her baby while standing in front of the mirror and placing her hands on her six-month-old baby bump. She was decked up in an off-shoulder summer dress.

As Manik approached her from behind and placed his hands over hers by encircling her in his arms, they both beamed at each other through the mirror.

As he removed her hair from her shoulder, she felt his cold rings touching her bare shoulder, and she closed her eyes, shivering at his mere touch. His metallic ring drove her insane whenever it came into contact with her skin.

After placing a soft kiss on her shoulder, he walked and knelt in front of her.

"Daddy is keeping track of every second, princess. He can't wait to embrace you in his arms." He talked to his baby with glee, placing his hands on Nandini's belly.

"Daddy, even I tan't (can't) wait do (to) tome (come) in youl alms (your arms)." Nandini responded to him delightedly in childish language on behalf of their baby.

He raised his face to look at her and cracked a smile.

"You are gonna be the best daddy in this world." She pulled his cheeks.

He stood up after placing a kiss on her baby bump.

"And you're gonna be the best mumma." He clasped her face and pressed his lips against her forehead. She closed her eyes, and a contented smile spread across her face.

She was living the life of her dreams with her hottie biker.

"Now let's go, Manik. We're already getting late for the sonography."

"I just can't wait to see my princess and listen to her heartbeat again." He expressed his excitement, placing his hand on her belly.

Nandini was sitting in Manik's arms on the sofa while Ethan and Ella were lying in each other's arms on the mattress. They were watching a movie in the hall.

"Manik..." suddenly Nandini screamed, catching everyone's attention.

"Kiddo, what happened?" Ethan and Ella sat up in front of her and gave her worried looks as Manik asked her with concern.

"Guys, the baby kicked." As she merrily told them, placing Manik's hand on her belly, her eyes shimmered with enthusiasm.

All of their eyes gleamed with excitement as they listened to her words, and Manik bent down to kiss her belly.

"He kicked again." She squealed as the baby kicked again when Manik kissed her belly. He smiled widely and kissed her lips in joy while Ethan shook his head in disbelief.

Ella placed her hand on her belly to feel it, grinning with excitement. Ella and Ethan were equally excited about the baby's arrival.

After 3 Months

"Baby, when will you come? Mumma is eagerly anticipating your arrival so she can go on a bike ride with you and your Daddy. You know, Daddy has refused to take me on the bike ride since we found out you were coming because it is dangerous for both of us. Although I cherished every moment of this pregnancy with you and your daddy, I have missed going on a bike ride. So don't make me wait any longer. Please come soon..." Nandini was conversing with her baby, sitting on the bed while Manik was in the washroom.

"Manik... aaa..." She screamed, clutching her shirt, as she felt excruciating pain in her stomach.

Manik immediately rushed out of the washroom as he heard her screams.

"Manik, it's hurting a lot." She cried out as he ran to her.

"I think today is finally our baby will come." He beamed at her with tears of happiness in his eyes and kissed her forehead. She was in extreme pain, but still, a small smile spread across her face.

"Relax, Kiddo. I'm just taking you to the hospital." He reassured her, caressing her hair when she screamed again.

"Aaaaa... Manik..." He hurriedly carried her in his arms and dashed out while she was yelping in pain and clutching his neck chain as if she would break it.

"Ruby..." Manik reached the hall, calling the maid. He was extremely anxious for his Kiddo. It was becoming unbearable to see her in such agony.

"Call Ethan and tell him Nandini has labour pain, and I'm driving her to the hospital." After instructing the maid, he hurried out of the mansion, carrying his pregnant Kiddo who was in labour pain.

***

Nandini awoke on the hospital bed with a broad smile on her face as she saw the baby cradled in Manik's arms, wrapped in the white sheet.

She had no idea what the baby's gender was because she fainted as soon as she gave birth.

"Manik..." as she called him, he shifted his eyes filled with joy from the baby to her.

"It's a baby girl, Kiddo. I told you that I had a feeling that it was going to be a girl." He told her with glee as he walked towards her. "Look, it's our princess only." As he made the baby lie down beside her, she cradled her with a beatific smile on her face.

Tears brimmed in her eyes as she admired her little angel's face and hands while she was sleeping peacefully, raising her hands in the air. As she kissed her forehead, a lone tear of contentment trickled down her cheek, and Manik smiled and captured the beautiful moment on his phone.

"Manik, she is so tiny and beautiful." She smiled at him with joy before shifting her gaze towards her princess and caressing her cheek with affection.

"Our Princess is divinely pretty like her mumma." Manik leaned down and placed a soft kiss on her daughter's forehead.

He leaned closer to Nandini's face and deeply gazed into her eyes. "Thank you for giving me such a precious gift, Nandini." He whispered before chastely kissing her lips.

"I want to take my princess in my arms, Manik." She spoke excitedly.

He cradled the baby in his arms, and then pressed the button to raise the bed. As she came into a sitting position, Manik laid the baby down on her chest.

The little Princess was sound asleep on her mumma's chest, and as Nandini felt her soft breath on her chest, tears of happiness trickled down her cheek. She had been waiting for this moment for nine months, so her joy knew no bounds.

He looked at his two precious souls with a beatific smile on his face before capturing this moment also on his phone.

"She completes us, love." He whispered and couldn't control himself from kissing his princess's forehead again, and then he kissed her mumma's forehead.

He touched his forehead with Nandini's forehead; her hand was on their daughter's head, and his hand was on their daughter's hand. They both smiled broadly as she held her daddy's finger with her tiny hands, and they both lost themselves in this beautiful moment.

They felt completely fulfilled after having their daughter.

"Congratulations, newly made mumma and daddy." They pulled apart when Ethan and Ella, along with Manik's parents, entered the room, squealing with glee. They were holding pink balloons, and on one of them, Princess was written on it.

"Guys, she'll get scared. She has just been born." Manik chastised them because when they shouted, the baby trembled with fright.

"Oh, sorry. We just forgot everything in the excitement of meeting her." Ethan apologised, cradling the baby in his arms with a broad smile on his face, while Ella attached all the balloons to her bed.

"Congratulations, Barbie." Ella embraced Nandini, beaming.

Everyone circled Ethan and gazed at the little angel with affection, waiting for their turn to hold her.

Manik and Nandini beamed at them before moving their eyes filled with joy to each other, feeling extremely fortunate.

"Manik, she is exactly like you." Mia gave her opinion as Ethan gave the baby to her. She slightly rocked the baby as she cried.

"No, she is like my daughter." James contradicted her while Manik helped Nandini to drink water.

"Uncle, you're wrong. Look carefully, her nose is like Manik's." Ethan spoke, pointing his finger at her tiny nose.

Ella slightly hit Ethan's head. "Ethan, your observation is so wrong. Her nose is completely like your sister's."

Seeing their adorable argument, Manik and Nandini burst into laughter and caught their attention.

"You guys are looking so cute while fighting like this." As Nandini uttered, still laughing, they all laughed, realising how stupid their argument was.

***

For the photo shoot, Manik and Nandini dressed their princess. She was decked up in a pink dress, mittens and a cap with a bow, and was sleeping on the cot.

As the photographer took pictures of her, they were both standing next to her cot, gazing at their daughter with smiles on their faces and tears of joy in their eyes because she looked heavenly beautiful.

Their little princess smiled in her sleep, and her one smile was enough to bring immense joy to her parents' hearts.

***

After seven months

Manik and Nandini kept their princess's name 'Rose,' which represents beauty and purity, and Manik inked his princess's date of birth with a rose on his arm.

Nandini awoke in the morning, her brows furrowed in bewilderment when she couldn't find her Manik. She checked Rose's cot that was kept beside the bed and found her missing as well.

She jumped out of bed, frantically searched the balcony, and then went outside to look for them, but when she couldn't find them, she called Manik.

"Hello."

"Manik, where did you go so early in the morning?" She inquired, concerned, as soon as he answered the phone.

"Relax! Actually, Rose had been crying a lot in the morning, so I took her for a bike ride." She frowned as he told her.

"Why didn't you wake me up, Manik? I also wanted to go on a bike ride with both of you." She whined and pouted.

"I didn't want to disturb your sleep, Kiddo." As he made her understand in a loving tone, her heart instantly melted.

"Okay, I understand. Now tell me when you're coming back because I want to go on a bike ride with you both."

"In ten minutes. You just get ready and reach outside with her milk because she is hungry." He instructed her.

"Okay." She disconnected the call with a smile on her face.

Manik put the phone in his jeans pocket while Rose was playing with the handlebar of the bike, sitting on the bike with her daddy. She was dressed in a white bodysuit with a blue hairband, black shades and shoes.

"Let's go get your mumma, princess." Rose squealed and smacked her hands on the fuel tank in delight as Manik started the bike.

She enjoyed going on bike rides with Manik like her mother.

***

He came to a halt in front of the mansion, and Nandini was already standing outside, the backpack slung over her shoulders. When she saw them, a smile automatically appeared on her face.

"Say hi to your mumma, Rose." As Manik made Rose stand up on the fuel tank of the bike by holding her waist from behind, she laughed hysterically with overjoy, looking at her mumma.

"Hello, my angel." Nandini lifted Rose in her arms and embraced her firmly before kissing her head.

Afterwards, while still holding Rose in her arms, she knelt and gave Manik a quick kiss on the lips.

"Let's go, girls." As Manik spoke, she made Rose sit in front.

Her hands were tucked into the pockets of Manik's leather jacket as she sat behind him with a huge smile on her face.

"I packed your breakfast as well, Manik, because I'm sure our Princess hasn't let you eat anything."

Her love for her hottie biker could never diminish.

"Thank you, my love." He turned his face toward her and placed a kiss on her cheek, and she giggled.

Rose turned around and started crying because she wanted her mumma and daddy's attention.

"Aww... my princess, don't cry. Mumma and daddy adore you." Manik stroked her chubby cheek and kissed her forehead, and she instantly calmed down and smiled toothlessly while playing with the ring of his eyebrow, which she loved to do like her mother. Nandini just beamed at them.

Then he rode off with his kiddo and daughter.

After a few months

'Dear Diary,

One year with our princess flew by so quickly that it still seems like we brought her home yesterday. She is growing so quickly, and I'm treasuring every second I get to spend with her and Manik. She is learning everything so fast. She began toddling and speaking a few words. It was one of the best days of our lives when she called us Mumma and Daddy for the first time. She has enhanced the beauty of our life and completed us. My only desire right now is to live out the rest of my life in peace with Manik and my daughter.

I forgot to mention that today is a special day in my life because Manik and I are going to tie the knot, and the funny thing is that our daughter will be there to witness our wedding ceremony. I'm ecstatic.'

Nandini was dressed in a white wedding gown, sitting at her desk and sharing her joy with her diary while Rose was sitting on the bed, playing with her doll. She was dressed in the same outfit as her mother. She did twinning with her mother on her mother's wedding day. She looked adorable in a white gown.

***

When Ethan brought Nandini to the stage, Manik couldn't stop marvelling at his Kiddo because she looked heavenly beautiful in a wedding gown with a white transparent veil covering her face.

Rose was in the arms of Ella, she was crying, looking at her Mumma because she wanted to go to her.

"You look gorgeous, love." As he whispered in her ear, a broad smile spread across her face.

"I, Manik, in faith, honesty and love, take you, Nandini, to be my wedded wife. You are truly a Gift from God and I promise to spend the rest of my life treating you as such. I will cherish you always and never take you for granted. I will love you and be faithful to you alone from this day forward until God calls us home. This is my solemn pledge to you and God. Please accept this ring as a symbol of our covenant and my undying love for you." He vowed and slid the ring on her finger, fixing his intense gaze on her before bowing and placing a soft kiss on her hand.

"I, Nandini, in the presence of God, our family and friends, take you, Manik, today as my husband. You are an answer to my prayers and I will spend the rest of my life thanking God for loving me enough to send me His very best. I will love you and be faithful to you alone from this day forward until God calls us home. This is my solemn pledge to you and God. Please accept this ring as a symbol of our covenant and my undying love for you." She slid the ring on his finger, beaming at him.

"In the sight of God and these witnesses, I now pronounce you husband and wife! You may now kiss!" As Priest announced, Manik raised her veil and kissed her lips softly with pure love by clasping her face, and everyone applauded.

Rose cried and kicked her legs, trying to come out of the arms of Ella because she was envious of her parents, she wanted their attention.

As Ella made her stand on the floor, she walked towards her Mumma and Daddy with short unsteady steps.

When she pulled their parents apart by holding their legs with her tiny hands, everyone laughed.

"Aww... my princess." Manik consoled her after taking her in his arms, and Nandini kissed her hair. She finally smiled after getting her parents' attention.

They smiled broadly at her and kissed her cheeks together as she giggled, covering her mouth with her hand, and the photographer captured this precious moment.

After their daughter was born, their lives underwent many changes, but there were a few things which would always remain the same, like Nandini putting hands inside her hottie biker's pockets and their unwavering love for each other.
