A Beautiful revelation

As they adjusted to this new phase, Arun and Ria found themselves rediscovering the joy in their relationship. They started spending more time together, going on walks in the park, trying new recipes, and decorating the nursery.

One evening, while painting the nursery walls a soft yellow, Arun accidentally splashed paint on Ria. She gasped, then retaliated, leading to a playful paint fight.

By the end of it, they were both covered in paint, laughing uncontrollably.

"Remind me to never let you near a paintbrush again," Ria teased, wiping a streak of yellow from his cheek.

"Noted," Arun said, pulling her into a hug. "But admit it—you had fun."

She smiled, leaning into him. "I always do, with you."

As the months passed, they attended their final ultrasound together. Seeing their baby's tiny features on the screen brought tears to both their eyes.

"That's our baby," Arun whispered, his voice filled with wonder.

"Yes," Ria said, squeezing his hand. "Our greatest adventure."
