Week 14

Michael was feeling bad that he told Neela that he wanted to wait to marry her. He loved her so much. Why was this freaking him out?

"How are we going to decorate this room?" Michael asked finishing off the last coat of white paint in the guestroom.

"Oh...I don't know." Neela said turning on another fan. These fumes weren't good for her. She settled herself back on the fire escape. Michael wiped his hands off and climbed out onto the fire escape with her.

"I suppose we can wait until we find the sexes out." Michael said wrapping his arms around her. Frankly, he wanted to get a house before he decorated a room.

"If it's two girls, I don't want a lot of pink." Neela said. Michael said.

"Me too." He said, "And not a room filled with blue if they're boys."

"Okay." Neela chuckled. "What if it's a boy and a girl?" Michael thought for a moment.

"What do you think about baby ducks?" Michael asked. Neela laughed softly.

"Baby ducks are nice." She said, "I'm almost afraid to ask.

"We could give the nursery a baby duck theme." He said to her, "That's good for any sex the twins may be."

"Ducks...Well...Maybe." Neela said, "We'll have to go look at themes soon."

"That will be so fun." Michael said. Neela chuckled and then gasped. She felt tiny bubbles in her stomach. Michael glanced down at her with a frown, "Is something wrong?"

"No." Neela laughed, "I think...I think I just felt the twins."

"Really?" Michaels' eyes sparkled as she rubbed her stomach, "What did it feel like?"

"Well like fish." Neela said, "I think it was them. It may be a little too early."

"If you felt it, then it was them." Michael said. He grinned softly, "Soon they will be kicking all of your organs." Neela chuckled.

"But It'll all be worth it in the long run." Neela said. Michael nodded.

"Listen, I've been thinking about out wedding." he said. Michael felt her body stiffen.

"What about it?" She asked.

"I would really like to set out wedding day, even if it's before the twins are born." He said. Neela turned around.

"Really?" Neela grinned brightly.

"Yes really. I'm sorry I flipped out. It's something I really want." Michael said.

"Maybe sometime in November." She looked up at him, "I'll be as big as a house."

"We'll get a big sari." He said. Neela smacked his leg.

"Not funny." She said, "So let's do it...November 9th."

"All right. that sounds perfect." Michael kissed the top of her head softly. Having a set wedding date wasn't freaking him out yet and that surprised him.

Week 15

Michael was so happy. He had every right to be of course. Watching Neela's belly grow every day excited him more than he ever thought possible. Marrying her in November was going to be great too. Neela was complaining about everything though. It was too hot. It was too cold. She was going to be a whale in November. being a pregnant med student was hell. Michael didn't mind it.

"I'm too sexy for my shirt, to sexy for my shirt yeah baby, it's hurts." Michael sang as he washed the kitchen table. Hopefully in two weeks he'd be washing the table in a brand new home. The phone began to ring loudly. He snatched it up. "Hello?" There was a slight pause.

"May I please speak with Neela?" A soft-spoken woman said.

"Neela is at work right now." Michael said, "May I ask who is calling?"

"This is her mother." She said. Michael froze. He had heard plenty about Dreama Rasgotra.

"Mrs. Rosgotra, It's a pleasure to speak with you." Michael said, "This is her fiance, Michael."

"Yes. I assumed it was, Michael." Dreama said with slight irritation in her voice, "We received the wedding invitation and we all are coming."

"All?" Michael asked.

"Yes all. You didn't think we'd miss our youngest daughter's wedding day, now did you?" She asked Michael.

"I hoped that you wouldn't." Michael said.

"I see you're marrying in a Catholic Church." Dreama said.
"Yes, Ma'am. I hope that isn't a problem for you." He said.

"Why would it?" Dreama asked. Michael winced. "Neela hasn't asked for my wedding sari."

"She has a wedding dress that she bought, but I think she has a sari for the reception." Michael said.

"And I hope she is doing the reception correctly." Dreama said. Michael smiled. Neela was making a big deal about it.

"Well, Ma'am, just yesterday she told me that you'd be proud." Michael said.

"An Indian band?" She asked.

"We're auditioning them next month." Michael said.

"And What colour theme do you have?" She asked.

"Red, Ma'am." Michael said with a smile, "She said it has some family significance." Dream was silent for a moment.

"Seems that you have taken care of everything." Dreama said.

"It's all Neela." Michael said." Typical Neela." She said, "Now on to the twins," Michael smiled weakly. he couldn't blame Dreama for all these questions. he would probably be the same way.

"Yes, Ma'am?" Michael asked.

"Do you find the sexes out soon?" Dreama asked.

"Next month hopefully." Michaels aid.

"All right. Have you discussed names?" Dreama asked.

"Well, We've decided on a nice Indian first name and I get to pick out their middle names myself." He said to her.
"Very good." Dreama said, "Well, Michael, tell my daughter that I'll will see her a few days before she marries an African-American." Michael smirked.

"I will, Ma'am." He said listening to her hang up. Neela was going to freak out when she heard her entire family was coming. The more the merrier.
