Page 114 of The Royal Beast & His Queen

After breakfast, Isha and Abhyansh left for the hospital. Isha was nervous but tried to handle herself. She is anxious thinking about the doctor's 'multiple pregnancy' statement. She is excited at the same time petrified. Abhyansh who realized his wife's state took her palm in his, and gently rubbed the back of it soothing her.

"It's okay, everything will be fine, I'm here with you", Abhyansh consoled her... She nodded at him resting her head on his chest. "Sleep bacha... I'll wake you up once we reach the hospital...", he said and she nodded closing her eyes... "Should I adjust the seat so you can lean your back properly ?", he asked gently...

"No, I'm fine...", she said leaning on him, tucking his arm... He held her securely supporting her back... He gently massaged her back and she sighed in relief...

"Is it aching ?", he asked and she hummed... "You could have told me before...", he said softly resuming his massage, she sighed in relief and soon slipped into a slumber...

They reached the hospital, Abhyansh woke her up, both of them walked inside the clinic, the doctor and the hospital staff were informed of the king and queen's visit, they were directly led to the doctor's cabin.

Dr. Mrunalini greeted them and the three of them settled in her cabin... She asked some questions to Isha.

"It's good that you aren't experiencing morning sickness yet... Feeling aversive towards any kind of food ?", the doctor asked, trying not to get intimidated by Abhyansh's presence, though he was sitting there calmly hearing to the doctor's conversation with his wife, his presence was enough to make anyone nervous...

"Not as of now...", Isha answered...

"Her appetite...", Abhyansh as usual stated in one word, the poor doctor who isn't used to his one-word statements like his minions got confused, but she didn't dare to ask him to clarify... Hearing his tone is enough to scare the hell out of her...

"My appetite has suddenly increased, um... actually I have had a minimal appetite since childhood and we are worried if the sudden increase would cause any harm to my health", Isha clarified looking at her husband, he gave a curt nod looking at the doctor waiting for the answer.

"Usually, it's normal in pregnancy, but if your appetite was minimal from childhood, the sudden increase may be because of what I suspected earlier... Multiple pregnancy could probably be the reason... I would recommend a scan, for now, let's start with the ultrasound ?", the doctor asked politely... Isha looked at Abhyansh and he blinked in a 'yes.

"Okay, we'll get it done...", Isha told the doctor softly...

The doctor asked Isha to lie down, but before the nurse could step ahead, Abhyansh took a step towards his wife and helpedher settle down on the bed... The nurse wanted to adjust Isha's kurti so that the doctor could apply the gel and start the procedure but Abhyansh didn't move... and his cold aura is only making everyone overly cautious... Isha so wanted to kick her husband out but the desire to see their baby together for the first time stopped her.

"Rana sa...", she called him and he instantly understood what she wanted, he stepped to the other side holding Isha's palm, giving way to the nurse, she adjusted Isha's clothes and the doctor started the procedure...

"I was right... Multiple pregnancy it is... Congratulations Maharaj... Congratulations Rani sa, you are carryingtriplets... These are your babies...", the doctor said showing the small bean-sized dots on the screen.

"Triplets ?", Abhyansh whispered, his heart thudded with fear for his wife... there is excitement and happiness to have his kids but the worry for his wife overpowered everything... Isha could hear the slight tremours in his tone... She is scared herself but her husband looked more scared than her and it surprised her... usually he is very strong-minded, nothing could scare him except for the thought of her in pain and that explained his feelings now...

"Rana sa... We are having triplets... I'm happy... and I know you are too", she said holding his palm, slightly pressing it, to bring his emotions in control and it did help him a little.

"Is she fine ?", Abhyansh couldn't help but ask the doctor... His question definitely surprised the doctor, she heard Abhyansh Singh Ranawat was crazy about his lineage and the only reason he married was to continue his lineage, but here he seemed more concerned about his wife... Are all those just rumors? the doctor wondered.

"Yes, Maharaj... Rani sa is absolutely fine... that explains her increased appetite... Rani sa and the fetus, both are fine...", the doctor said, Abhyansh glared at her coldly... Can't she address his children in a better way ? instead of calling them fetus ? He is about to snap when Isha holds his palm knowing his bad temper...

The doctor observed the little exchange between the king and queen and when she recalled her words, she understood what blunder she did. The king is extremely possessive of his family, so obviously he would be possessive of his children...

"I apologize Maharaj... I meant the babies...", the doctor quickly corrected herself...

"It's okay doctor...", Isha said giving her a polite smile...

"Hear their heartbeat... It's faint as for now since it's still early, you can hear it properly around 12 -14 weeks...", the doctor clarified... "I'll leave you guys alone", the doctor added and with a small bow, she left from there leaving the new parents to enjoy the moment, she too needed a fresh breath of air away from the cold aura of the Abhyansh.

Isha's eyes welled up seeing their babies and hearing their faint heartbeats... Abhyansh held her palm rubbing it softly...

"I'm overwhelmed Rana sa... In less than 8 months, we'll have our kids with us... I'm no more scared... I feel like I can bear any pain to bring them to this world... to give the happiness of fatherhood to you, thank you", Isha said kissing the back of his palm, he shook his head kissing her forehead...

"Thank YOU... I'll be with you in every step... I'm sorry I couldn't take away the pain but I'll try to make it easy for you as much as I can...", he said, she could feel his rough throat... She knew he was extremely worried thinking about the challenges she wouldbe facing... She knew assuring him or saying anything wouldn't help it so she refrained from trying.

He put back the transducer away, and wiped the gel spread on her stomach neatly...

"Rana sa... just call the nurse na...", Isha said... she didn't want her husband to do all these...

"It's my right to serve you in every way...", he said bending and gently kissing her exposed belly... She heard the unsaid and a very meaningful 'thankyou' in his kiss. She fisted his hair giving a small smile to him... He helped her correct her dress and after that, both of them walked to the doctor's cabin... The doctor is surprised, she thought they would call her or the nurse when they were done, she just hoped the king wasn't mad over this as well... Isha's smile relaxed the doctor. They settled in the chairs and the doctor advised about the do's and don't's.

Abhyansh carefully listened to her and then came the most important topic, intimacy. Though the doctor didn't completely say 'No', she asked them to be careful. She didn't talk about it directly as she was scared, What if Abhyansh got offended for going too personal? So, she instructed them indirectly and she knew both of them are smart enough to decode her words.
