Epilogue

                          
(5 years later)
                          
"Mommy!" Rihanna, Gautham-Sanjana's 4 years old daughter, shouts barging in to her parent's room.
                          
"Yes, baby"
                          
"Mommy, I want to sleep with you" Rihanna says in her baby voice
                          
"Come, sweety" Sanjana takes her baby girl's hands & walks her to the bed. Then she helps her daughter to climb the bed & she too joins her beside her.
                          
"Where is daddy?" She asks Sanjana hugging her.
                          
"Daddy is in the shower." Sanjana replies caressing her hair. Rihanna hugs her mom's neck tightly throwing her legs on Sanjana's tummy.
                          
"Gently baby, you will hurt your brother" Sanjana tells her softly as she lower's Rihanna's leg from pressing her belly.
                          
"Sorry, Baby Bro" Rihanna kisses Sanjana's six months pregnant belly.
                          
"Mommy, did I too come from here?" Rihanna asks pointing to Sanjana's tummy.
                          
"Yes, Sweetie" She smiles.
                          
"This big?" she gestures to herself.
                          
"No, darling, you were so small when you were born & after eating too much of ice creams & chocolates you have grown big" Sanjana pulls Rihanna's chubby cheeks playfully.
                          
"Mommy, you will love Rihan more than me?" Yes, Rihanna has already decided to name her baby brother Rihan as he's a part of her.
                          
"I will love you both equally, baby" she places the safe bet.
                          
"No, Mommy, let daddy love you more, you love me more & I will love our baby more, okay?" She orders.
                          
"Then who will love daddy?" Gautham asks grinning as he walks out from the dressing room.
                          
"Hmm..." Rihanna thinks for a while & came up with a brilliant answer. "We three will love you more, Daddy, because you are the best" she stood up on the bed releasing her mother & jumps into her father's arms. Gautham laughs & soundly kisses his baby girl on her cheek.
                          
"Now, sleep" Gautham says.
                          
"Daddy, pee" she shows her pinky finger asking him to take her to the washroom.
                          
--0--
                          
"I want to sleep next to mommy" Rihanna demands.
                          
"Sleep baby" Sanjana moves to her side & makes Rihanna lie next to her.
                          
"Even I want to sleep with you, Sanju" Gautham demands. She frowns.
                          
"Gautham, she will fall off if she sleeps at the corner" Sanjana tells him.
                          
"I don't know. I am habitual of sleeping close to you hugging you" Gautham demands like a child. Sanjana rolls her eyes.
                          
"Okay" Sanjana moves to the middle putting Rihanna on the corner & Sanjana turns to her side to hold her daughter from rolling off and falling down.
                          
"Sanju, turn this side & sleep" Gautham turns her around.
                          
"Gautham, she will fall down if I don't hold her"
                          
"She won't. At least till I sleep, you face me, I won't get my sleep if I don't see your face" Gautham says making Sanjana blush and irritated at the same.
                          
"Mommy, turn this side. I want to talk with my bro" Rihanna pulls her towards her side.
                          
"Sanju..."
                          
"Mommy..."
                          
"Sanju..."
                          
"Mommy..."
                          
They both kept turning her to their sides & finally having enough of their tantrums Sanjana sat up on the bed.
