It was the next morning. Khushi woke up smiling to herself. Lavanya was right, she’d never get bored of their love making and she knew Arnav wouldn’t either. Each time felt like the first time. She turned and looked at the clock, 7:05. Khushi slowly got out of bed and covered Arnav so he wouldn’t feel cold. Then she picked up the other blanket and wrapped it around herself and made her way off the bed.
“Where are you going?”
“To have a shower, when did you wake up?”
“The moment I could no longer feel your body against mine. Baby what is this, you’re leaving me already?”
“I have to get ready. We’re not at home. I need to help to get breakfast and stuff sorted and then I need to be ready to help La, it’s her first day here.”
“She’ll be fine, Di and Payal will help her out.”
“I know, but she’s my sister, I want to be there for her.”
“Okay, fine, but come back to bed for a little longer please.”
“But Arnav…”
“Come on Khushi.”
Khushi sighed and got back into bed and Arnav pushed the blanket off her.
“Don’t hide your body from me. It’s mine too.”
Khushi laughed and blushed. She cuddled up next to Arnav.
“You know this isn’t exactly the best time to be cuddling up to me naked.”
“Oh shush you.”
Even after all this time, Khushi really didn’t understand Arnav’s struggle. The struggle to control himself when he could feel her round breasts against his chest. When he could feel her feminine softness against his manliness. Unable to control himself Arnav pushed Khushi onto her back and then let himself climb on top of her and took her lips into a powerful kiss. Khushi couldn’t help but wrap her arms around him pull him further into herself. Arnav’s hand traveled down her body and cupped one of her breasts. He pinched her nipple ever so lightly, yet it still caused her to gasp out and, unconsciously, caused her to arc her hips into his. Arnav felt this and he could feel his body harden. This didn’t go unnoticed by Khushi. She reached her hand out and caught hold of Arnav’s member and rubbed it ever so slightly.
“Khushi…”
“Sh”
Khushi continued to rub as Arnav worked his own magic on her. When Arnav could take it no more, he moved Khushi hand away.
“God damn. What are you doing to me.”
Arnav made himself comfortable and pushed himself into Khushi. She sighed, This happened every time, she felt so complete when they were like this. Arnav slowly moved himself within her and Khushi could already feel her climax building up.
*****
Half an hour later, Arnav and Khushi left the bathroom feeling beyond satisfied.
“Arnav, that was uncalled for. You can’t just walk in on me in the shower!”
“Of course I can, you have nothing to hide from me baby.”
Khushi laughed and started to get dressed. She looked at the clock, it was just past 8, everyone would be going downstairs soon. She got dressed quickly and rushed downstairs. No one was up yet. Khushi rushed into the kitchen and began to throw breakfast together when Payal joined her.
“Morning Khushi.”
“Morning jiji!”
“It feels so good to have you here. It’s been so long since we prepared breakfast together.”
“I know! That’s why I wanted to make sure I got up early, so I could do breakfast.”
“How have you been Khushi, hardly get to catch up with you.”
“I know jiji, I’ve been fine, how about you.?”
“I have a secret, but you can’t tell anyone.”
“Of course not, we bahus of the family stick together with these kinds of things.”
“I think I’m pregnant!”
“No way jiji! That’s great! How far along do you think you are?”
“Not long at all, probably just over a month if I’m honest with you.”
“That’s great! Have you told Akaash Bhai yet?”
“No I haven’t, we’ve been so busy, but I want to tell him soon and then everyone else.”
The two women carried on talking for a while and then Lavanya joined them. She was tucking her sari back in when she saw Khushi and Payal.
“Khushi, am I late? I wanted to wake up so much earlier but NK wouldn’t let me get out of bed. And does my sari look okay? I can’t wear a sari Khushi, so much struggle.”
“La, calm down. No one else has come down yet, just me and jiji and now you. Your sari looks fine and please, never say to anyone else that NK wasn’t letting you out of bed.”
Payal laughed and Lavanya looked at her.
“Jiji please don’t laugh at me. I don’t know what I’m allowed to say around whom. I can call you jiji as well right?”
“Of course you can. And I’m not laughing at you in a bad way, you just remind me of my first day here. Only difference was I was here on my own. And you can say anything around me, me and Khushi were just saying how was daughter in laws stick together, Oh and you can say anything around Di too. She’s lots of fun and she never minds.”
“I heard someone mention Di and here Di is.”
Khushi, La and Payal all turned and greeted Anjali good morning. They explained what they were all talking about and Anjali laughed.
“You know, when I was growing up, I hated the fact that I only had brothers. I mean my brothers are all lovely and they all take such good care of me, but I would have liked a sister to share everything with. Now I have you three and I honestly feel like my dreams come true. Payal, you’ve been around a while and you know how much I adore you. Khushi, you’re exactly like my chote, only a female version of him, so you’re perfect and Lavanya. I haven’t known you too long but you really are the baby sister I’ve always wanted.”
“Aw Di!”
They all shared a big group hug when Arnav walked into the kitchen.
“Well isn’t this awkward? I come to drink some juice and I see this. I’ll leave you ladies to it.”
They all laughed and La pulled away from the group hug.
“What can I get you Jiju?”
“Can I have some apple juice please? It’s in the fridge.”
Lavanya walked over to the large fridge and pulled it open. She looked in shock. She’d always thought their fridge at home was big, this one was 3 times the size of their one. She was unable to locate the apple juice. Khushi walked over to her and pointed out where all the juices were kept. La pulled one out and gave it to Arnav. Anjali smiled.
“Looks like La’s already found her way around the kitchen. Khushi, Payal, I think our time to retire has come.”
Lavanya looked at Anjali shocked.
“But Di… It’s too soon! I can’t run the kitchen by myself yet!”
“I’m just joking, we all stick together when it comes to the kitchen work.”
Lavanya nodded and they all began to get breakfast ready.
Half an hour later, everything was ready and the rest of the family had assembled round the table. The daughter in laws all placed the dishes on the table and then took their seats at the table. Nani smiled from the top of the table.
“Our family is finally complete.”
Anjali looked up.
“Nani, I have something to say and it feels right to say it now. Our family… Our family is soon to grow as you Nani are about to become a great grandmother.”
Shyam dropped his toast and looked at his wife.
“Are you being serious.”
Anjali blushed and nodded. He kissed her cheek quickly and whispered about giving her a special present later. Payal smiled and then looked to Khushi. She then made a decision too.
“Er, it seems like the right time to say that I too am pregnant.”
Nani smiled and gasped with joy.
“This is amazing! I’m going to have two great grandchildren to play with in less than a year.” She then looked at Khushi. “Do you have any news for us Khushi bitya?”
Khushi blushed and shook her head. Arnav took over from here.
“Not yet Nani, not yet.” And he winked playfully.
Nani smiled at her family, it really was starting to look completely complete.
