Next day.

Preeta is sitting in the hall, munching down chocolates, one after the other. Karan comes back from his practice and is shocked to see so many wrappers on the floor.

Karan: Preeta...subah subah!!

Preeta (annoyed): Tumhe koi problem hai kya!!

Karan (shocked): Nahi...par...

She glares at him and he keeps quiet.

Preeta (shouts): Shrishti!!!

Shrishti comes running.

Shrishti: Yes di!!!

Preeta: Shrishti mujhe orange juice chahiye...

Shrishti: Par di, abhi thodi der pehle toh aapne coffee pi hai...

Preeta glares at her and Karan signals her to get the juice. She leaves.

Karan (worried): Babydoll, tum thik toh ho na??

Preeta (confused): Haan...mujhe kya hona hai??

Shrishti brings the juice. Preeta takes a sip and spits it out.

Preeta (making faces): Ewww Shrishti, meine tujhe orange juice laane ko kaha tha...karele ka juice nahi!!

Shrishti: Par di yeh orange juice hi toh hai!!

Karan takes a sip and finds the juice normal.

Karan: Preeta juice thik toh hai...

Preeta: Nahi!! Yeh kadwa hai!!

Rakhi sees this from upstairs and starts to doubt that Preeta might be pregnant. She comes downstairs.

Rakhi: Preeta, puttar actually mujhe aaj hospital jaana hai...tu mere saath chalegi??

Karan: Mom aapko kya hua!!??

Rakhi (nervous): Woh...kuch nahi puttar, bas health check up karwaana hai...

Shrishti: Mom uski kya zaroorat hai!! Aap toh ek dam fit and fine lag rahi hai...

Rakhi (in mind): Inke jasoosi ka keeda abhi hi chadna tha kya!!

Preeta: Haan maa, Shrishti sahi keh rahi hai...(she moves closer to Rakhi, with suspicious eyes) kahi aap humse kuch chupa toh nahi rahi!!

Rakhi (nervous): N...nahi puttar!! Koi baat nahi...hum kabhi aur chale jayenge...

Saying this Rakhi leaves hurriedly, confusing Karan and Shrishti.

Later.

Nyra comes to Karan, angry.

Karan: Kya hua, princess??

Nyra (angry): Papa meri chocolate Ro bro ne kha li!! Aur ab mujhe apni nahi de rahe!!

Rohan: Meine iski chocolate nahi khayi!!

Karan looks at Preeta, who makes an innocent face.

Preeta (innocently): Meri toh saari chocolates subah hi khatam ho gayi thi...

Karan: Nyra, princess koi baat nahi papa aapke liye aur chocolates le aayenge...

Nyra gets happy and she and Rohan leave.

Karan: Isliye tumne Nyra ki chocolates le li...

Preeta (looking here and there): Nahi toh...

Karan sees chocolate near her lips and giggles.

Karan: Achcha...

He goes near her and cups her face from one hand and holds her waist from the other. He pulls her closer to himself. She blushes. He removes the chocolate using his fingers and licks it.

Karan: Par yeh toh chocolate hi hai...

She blushes and looks down. He smiles.

Karan: Tumhara yeh pagalpan mujhe tumhre pyaar mein aur pagal bana raha hai...

She smiles and hugs him tightly. Karan hugs her back, smiling.

Preeta: Karan...

Karan: Hmmm...

Preeta: Mujhe ice cream khaane ka mann hai...

Karan: Whatt!! Babydoll...

Preeta: Please na...

Karan frowns and goes to get ice cream for her.

In the hall.

Nisha sees Karan going out.

Nisha: Ab kya lene jaa rahe hai Pree ke pati dev...pizza ya burger??

Rishabh and Sameer burst out laughing. Shrishti tries hard to control her laughter but ends up laughing. Karan glares at Sherlyn who was looking here and there.

Karan: Ice cream!!

Sameer: Bhai, jaa hi rahe ho toh humare liye bhi le aana...

Sameer and Rishabh giggle, while Karan leaves, annoyed.

Nisha: Kya tumhe bhi wahi lag raha hai...jo mujhe lag raha hai, Sherlyn??

Just then Rakhi comes from behind.

Rakhi: Sherlyn ka toh pata nahi par mujhe toh pakka yakeen hai...

Sameer (confused): Kis baat ka yakeen hai??

Sherlyn: Ki Preeta pregnant hai!!

Everybody gets happy.

Shrishti: Ab toh jijz gaye...kyun ki di ki pehli pregnancy ke time meine unke nakhre uthay the!! Ab jijz ki baari!!

Everybody laughs, thinking about Karan's state.

At night.

Karan wakes up in the middle of the night only to find Preeta missing. He searches for her in the room, but doesn't find her. He goes downstairs, searching for her. He sees light coming from the kitchen and is sure that Preeta will be there. He goes inside the kitchen and hears giggling sound and gets confused. He goes in and finds Mahesh and Preeta, sitting under the table and eating ice cream. He slaps his forehead.

Karan: Dad!! Preeta!!

Both of them get alert and look at Karan, who was standing in front of them, folding his hands. Both of them point at each other. Karan mentally face palms himself.

Karan (in mind): Mujhe toh laga tha ki iss ghar mein sirf 3 bachche hai!! Lekin ab pata chal raha hai ki iss ghar mein unse bhi chote chote bachche hai!!

He remembers the time when he and Mahesh used to eat laddoo's made by Rakhi, in the same way and Rishabh used to catch them. He smiles. He helps Preeta and Mahesh out from under the table.

Karan: Itni raat ko ice cream khaoge toh thand lag jayegi!!

Preeta (whispers): Par mein itni hot hu na...body ka temperature normalize ho jayega!!

Mahesh hears this and giggles. Karan widens his eyes in shock. He is about to say something, when Mahesh interrupts.

Mahesh: Oye!! Khotte de puttar!! Meri bahu ko kuch bola na toh dekh lena!!

Karan: Ahaha!! Yeh sahi hai!! Bahu aagayi toh bete ko bhul jao!!

Preeta sticks her tongue out and side hugs Mahesh. Karan glares at her.

Mahesh: Achcha chalo ab mein toh sone jaa raha hu...

Saying this, he leaves. Preeta sits on the slab of the kitchen, with crossed arms.

Karan: Ab tumhe kya hua!!

Preeta: Mujhe tumse baat nahi karni!!

Karan: Kyun????

Preeta (fake crying): Kyun ki mujhe pata hai tum mujhe daato ge!!

Karan: Achcha babydoll, nahi daatunga...par please ro mat...

Preeta: Nahi!! Mujhe pata hai tum daato ge!!

Saying this she starts crying louder.

Karan: Bola na babydoll, promise nahi daatunga...

Preeta looks at Karan who was standing there with innocent eyes. She smiles widely and jumps onto him, like a kid. Karan widens his eyes in shock.

Karan: Matlab yeh sab...

Preeta: Yes, bajarbattu, natak tha!!

He makes a crybaby face.

Preeta: Ab mujhe room mein leke chalo!! Mein bohot thak gayi hu!!

Karan picks her up in his arms, smiling.

Karan: Okay babydoll...

She cuddles closer into him and he smiles. She falls asleep in his arms. He takes her to their room.
