A Strict No!

"Why are you all still in home clothes? Why are you not ready for school?"

"Dad, today is Saturday, a week off for us," Adwith replied, and then I remembered that today is Saturday.

"Oh yeah, I forgot," I said, and then we all had our breakfast.

 "We have a scan today. We are leaving for the hospital," I said to them.

"I have work to be done in the company, and I am also leaving the company," my brother said.

"I will accompany you to the hospital," his wife said.

"Dad, I also want to come to the hospital," Adwith said.

        "What will you do there? Stay at home and take care of them," I said.

We all left home at the same time, and the kids are at home. Adwith can take care of them; I don't need to worry about them. We went into the hospital, took a token, and went inside.

"Please take your seat, sir; I will call once your number comes," the nurse said, and then we took a seat. After 20 minutes, she called our number, and then we went inside.

The doctor applied some gel to her bump, and then she applied it to the machine too. She started to rub on my stomach and then showed me the baby.

"Everything is fine, sir. The baby's growth is also good," the doctor said. She prescribed more medicine and asked us to have a proper diet and rest.

"Doctor, are you sure it's only a baby?" I questioned her.

  

"Yes, sir, I thoroughly checked; it's only a baby; no more I found," she said, and I nodded my head. We moved out of the hospital and went towards the car.

"I want to eat ice cream," she said, and then we went to a parlor and had it. Then we went home.

Adwith Pov:

Mom is in her 5th month now, and I still have to wait. I want to hold the baby. I don't know who the baby was, whether a boy or a girl, but whoever they are, they will be pampered by me. My heart was saying it's a girl, and I wish it was true.

  

Today, mom and dad went to the hospital for scanning. I wanted to go, but dad said no. I was thinking something, and I didn't notice my sister's. They came and shrugged me off. I came out of my thoughts, looked at them, and asked,

"Bhai, let's play," they said.

"Ok, where are others?" I questioned.

  

"In their rooms," the princess replied.

"Then go and call them," I said to them, and she went to call them. After 5 minutes, everyone came, and we were all playing some random games.

"I want to eat ice cream," the princess said.

"Go and get from the refrigerator," I said, and she nodded brightly and ran from there. But she came back with a sad face.

       "What happened? Why are you looking sad?" I questioned her.

"There is no ice cream," she said.

"From where will it come when you and your sister finished it last night?" Adeep questioned.

         "Last night? You ate it last night too? Now no more for you," I said, to which she pouted and sat with a sad face.

        "Change that face," I said.

         "I want ice cream," she said.

"I said no means no; don't ask again and come play or else I will go," I said, to which she changed her expression and started playing again.

"You all keep playing; I will be back in a minute," I said to them and stood from there. I went to the living room, and then I called my parents to know where they were.

"Hello," dad answered the call.

        "Dad, where are you? What did the doctor say?" I questioned him.

"We are just completed now.. Everything is fine now. We are starting to go home," dad said.

"Dad, while you are coming, please get some ice cream," I said.

"Ice cream?" he questioned me.

"Yes, dad, Princess is asking for it. But don't say to her," I said.

"So why are you asking me to get it?" He questioned me, and then I replied,

"She ate yesterday night; that's why."

He said ok and hung up the call. Then I remembered I forgot to ask about whether mom is having twins or triplets this time. They will be back home, and then I can ask. I thought to myself and went to them.
