"Just a few minutes... I want to sit here with you...", she said leaning her head on his bare chest which was just covered byhis red shawl... "Are you still upset ?", she asked him after a few minutes...

"Shouldn't I be ?", he asked her in return...

"I understand your emotions Rana sa... but I...", she is about to explain but he stopped her...

"Sh... You don't have to explain anything... Yes, I'm upset but I don't blame you, I understand you and I accept it's my fault that I...", he started but she cut him off angrily...

"Listen to me first... I'm explaining to you because you deserve it... You are right to be upset, you are the father and you should know about my pregnancy before anyone, but I know you wouldn't tell me the past if you get to know about it, and with the unknown past, my mental health would have gone for a toss and all this would have affected our child/children, and eventually it would affect you, so, I had to make a tough choice...", she said in a breath and he looked at her amused...

"I know all this bacha...", he answered and she glared at him...

"Do you love getting kicked out of our chamber ?", she asked glaring at him, he shook his head instantly... "Then stay put and go change...", she said avoiding looking at his bare chest...

"Your mood swings started too early huh...", he whispered near her ear softly licking the lobe... she fisted his shawl unable to control her hormones... He pecked her lips and got up to change...

"Abhyansh...", she yelled for leaving her like that, he chuckled and went to the closet to change and she followed him... He was just about to pull off his shawl when she entered the closet, and he quickly covered himself back... If at all his wife notices the wound on his back, she would be emotionally very disturbed and he wouldn't want her to go through the distress now... She frowned at his quick actions...

"What's wrong ?", she asked noticing his quick pullback of his shawl...

"Nothing... Let me help you change first, then I'll change...", he said and she nodded. He selected a lightweight suit for her and helped her wear it, though she is completely capable of changing, she loved it when he pampered her and it's been weeks she had gotten that treatment from her husband.

"Now go and make your hair... I'll be back in 5", he said...

"I'm not in the mood, I think I'll go with this bun...", she said and he nodded...

"You look beautiful either way... Choose your comfort above everything", he said kissing her head, she gave him a smile before walking out of the closet. He sighed and quickly got changed.

"Rana sa, when shall we inform the family ?", she asked him when he walked out of the closet...

"After we return from the hospital... By the way, from your next ultrasound, Dr. Mrunalini will come to the palace, the ER in the East wing is fully equipped, we don't have to go out, if it's multiple pregnancy, then you'll start showing up early, I don't want anyone to cast an evil eye on you or our child/children", Abhyansh said picking up her phone...

"Yeah, I completely forgot about the clinic here, we have a full-time gynecologist and obstetrician in the palace, Why can't we go to her instead ?", Isha asked ignoring his later statement as she doesn't want to argue about her stepping out of the palace now. Abhyansh shook his head at her suggestion.

"Dr. Mrunalini is a far better option, and since there's a chance of multiple pregnancy, I don't want to risk your health in any way, Dr. Mrunalini is well established and experienced, so I would prefer she treat you", Abhyansh said and Isha rolled hereyes, if the doctor in the palace heard him, she would die out of shame, she is also a great doctor but like always, her Rana sa is obsessed with the best in the field when it came to her... She sighed deeply... His overprotectiveness already started irking her.

"Let's go...", she said and stormed out, he followed with a confused face, now why is she angry ? He rushed out to catch up with her...

"Walk steadily... Your doctor is not running away...", he said earning a glare from her...

"I'm hungry...", Isha said...

"You didn't have your breakfast? That idiot Rajput didn't even feed you breakfast ?", Abhyansh cursed his brother-in-law

"I had... but it was 2 hours ago...", she said getting embarrassed and he chuckled at his wife's cuteness... he kissed her temple, pulling her into a hug...

"I so love you bacha... I am happy your appetite increased, Let's have breakfast and then leave", he said and she nodded with a smile, these days, just the thought of food excited her a lot...

The couple reached the dining hall, since there's still 10 minutes for breakfast, and Abhyansh had never come before time, he always came on time but never before or after. The family was still assembling when they saw Abhyansh and Isha there. Avyan checked his watch and phone thrice to see if he was late. Isha who noticed Avyan's act hid her smile, she also noticed everyone's faces that held fear and apprehension thinking they were late. They trust Abhyansh and his timing more than their watches, Isha sighed at her walking clock of a husband.

"I'm hungry, so we are early today...", she said clearing the air, she wanted to cool their otherwise anxious minds... They nodded, sighing inwardly that they weren't late.

"Bhabhi ma...", Avyan came forward and touched Isha's feet, she ruffled his hair with a smile, and he got up... "When did you arrive ?", he asked...

"just this morning...", Isha answered...

"Rani sa...", Abhyansh said, pulling a chair for her... Wait, What ? he never pulled a chair for her, but that's because she always sat after serving him, in fact everyone settled after he sat in his chair, so this move of his, definitely shocked them.

"Ji(yes) Rana sa", Isha said but didn't settle down, she always respected him in front of everyone as the king... he understood her silent actions, so he sat down first, and after that she settled down followed by the whole family. All the dishes were already placed on the table so Isha served him and they started having the breakfast.
