Minal hadn’t been at the clinic then, but the tests were done, and now, the doctor was calling with the results.
“Everything okay, Minal?” Aanya asked, her voice lined with concern. “I mean... the baby’s fine, right?”
“Absolutely,” Minal assured her. “You’re both doing great. Make sure to tell your husband. He’s probably blaming himself more than necessary.”
He wasn’t just blaming himself. He was mad at both of them for losing control last night, even though Aanya had repeatedly assured him it was fine. If it had been the end of her second trimester, there might’ve been reason to worry. But still, poor hubby.
“I’ll let him know. Thanks, Doctor. I’ll be there on time for my next appointment.”
“Alright, Aanya. Take care.”
Aanya ended the call and immediately typed up a quick email to her overprotective husband. Their habit of emailing never really stopped. It had only gotten cheekier with time, especially after they found new ways to spice up the messages.
Dear To-be Daddy,
Baby’s fine. Just got confirmation. Happy now?
Your baby’s mother,
Aanya Chopra
A minute later, his reply popped up.
Dear Mommy,
Relieved. Finally!!
Also, did you eat the salad I packed?
Your baby’s Daddy,
Reyansh Chopra
**************
Dearest Daddy,
The salad was amazing. Your cooking is improving!
Can I expect something spicy tonight? Baby’s craving some spice.
Your dearest baby’s Mommy,
Aanya.

Sweetheart,
No spicy food until the baby’s here.
And no arguments.
Your commanding Husband,
Reyansh
