Chapter 2 : No Babies Please

Bebo opend her eyes slowly when the morning light touched her lashes. She tried to move but couldn't. Saif's hands were wrapping her. "Unh.." Saif made a little sound like a baby when Kareena tried to get up. She looked at her husband. How innocent a man can look who has everything in this world; royalty, fame, fortune, family and her, yes, most importantly her. Bebo smiled unknowingly and again closed her eyes and hold Saif tightly inhaling scent from his chest. Pure heaven!

May be she fell asleep but felt warm lips on her neck, just the place where she likes it. Saif was kissing her, "Jaag ja meri gudia." [wake up my doll] .

"Unn Good morning" whispered Bebo. They both looked at eachother and smiled . It's a beautiful day . It always has been since the day they started living in together. Nothing has changed really. Saif is the same old cute charming man she had fallen for. They still love each other as much as they used to when they were falling in love in Tashan's set. No. they love each other much more; thought Kareena. They really love each other more and more every day. "Oh, God! I can't live without this girl! My wife!" he thought. They didn't utter the words but it seemed that they could listen to each other. So they both smiled again. Saif kissed Bebo's nose. And she giggled like a girl. "Saifu you should get up."

"So you want me to stop kissing you?!" he said.

"Yes absolutely !" Bebo smiled naughtily.

Saif can never resist this smile. He almost dived on her hair and kissed her.

"Oh, Saifu, huhu, hehe" Bebo giggled again. "now you are really going to be late for the shoot."

Finally Saif let bebo go. Bebo had taken a little break from work after the wedding but Saif couldn't do so. It's ok, she didn't mind because they had a great romantic and hot honeymoon. She was just enjoying this post honeymoon gap from work.

Saif went to take a bath. Kareena was sitting in the balcony and sipped her special green tea. She took up Mumbai Times and casually opened a page. What was that! A news on her but what's the title suggesting? "Kareena Kapoor Khan Out of Work" it said. "What the fu** is this news!" she was furious. "Who wrote this crap! Who told them I don't have work! I'm doing Singham 2, though the role is small in comparison to Ajay's but still I'm the leading lady there! And for their information I'm on a holiday now. Can't I even take a little break to enjoy this newly married bliss?" she was speaking to herself. "Do I have to have 4 movies in my kitty?" She gave a small pause and thought that she must have it. The whole industry expects it from her. She decided to go and meet KeJo or Karan Johar or Bebo's Gay Best Friend.

Karan Johar's House:

"Bebo don't stress baby or you'll have fine lines." Kejo said like a beauty expert, actually he is the king of all trades, "I told you before not to take a break. This press doesn't understand these things. And why didn't you do the Zoya Akhtar movie?"

"Come on Karan you told me not to!"

"I did. Oh that script was crap. Plus Ranveer and your pair wouldn't look good."

"But look that chap did so well in Ram-Leela! I wish I didn't say no to it!"

"But you were planning your wedding then remember. You were having problem with dates."

"Whatever, now what to do?! Karaan !"

"Well you can always work in my films. Well I was planning to produce Shuddhi ."

"Shuddhi? Are you remaking it? Wow!" Kareena gasped, "and you want me to be the leading lady!"

"Of course I want only if you can take out time from your busy life."

"Haha karan! Anything for you." She pinched Kejo, "but who's gonna be the hero?"

"Ya I was thinking about it lately. Sanjay is the one I want to cast as the villain. And I was thinking " and he paused.

"What? What were you thinking?" Bebo couldn't take this suspense anymore.

"Hrittik!"

"Hrittik! OMG! Karan!"

"Oh Bebo sorry I know you guys had a history but he is getting divorced and you have moved on. He will be just perfect for Shuddhi! Karan said it in a flow.

"Karan! That's a great idea! I am obviously in the best phase of my life and after so many days if we get to star in a movie, that's also in your production. What can be better than this! This news will make the 1st page!" Kareena was super exited, "but ," she paused and thought for a while, "I should discuss this with Saifu right?"

"Ya of course, after all he is your husband now." Karan said thoughtfully "I should then talk with Hrittik. But can I rely on you Bebo? You won't backout right!"

"Stupid I want to do this movie! Just give me few days, Saifu is in outdoors now and super busy. But just think I'm in. Ok?"

"Ok sweetheart!" smiled Karan Johar.

Kareena went to meet Karishma [Lolo]

Bebo was feeling happy. Now the world will go gaga when they'll hear the news of Hrittik and her doing a movie together. She really can't wait to start shooting again. But how will she tell Saif? He knows that Hrittik was her first love but at that time he was engaged with Susan. Though he also fell for her, but Susan's father threatened him and soon Hrittik had to marry Susan as he had promised. Poor Hrittik! Bebo rememberd how much she used to cry in those days. Then time passed and she found Shahid in her life but there was always something lacking in that relationship. After few years when she broke up with him she finally found her true love. Saif was that perfect gentleman who couldn't believe it when she showed interest in him. Saif later told her that he was totally surprised and thrilled to find out that the Kareena Kapoor is interested in him. But after that Bebo only saw his romantic, charming and manly side. They fell in love in text messages. Haha, bebo thought and laughed. How they tried to keep it their little secret on the sets of Tashan. So Saif used to send her romantic and funny texts and they used share their secret glances. But love is something which you can't hide from the world. "I guess we didn't want to hide the fact. We were too happy and wanted to scream and tell the whole world how much we love each other!" thought Kareena. Well the media did exactly the same thing for them. So maybe Saif won't feel anything negative when she will tell him about Shuddhi. While thinking those things she reached her Mother's home, where Lolo came to stay for few days. She wanted to share this news with Lolo and needed her advice on this.

"Hi mom!" bebo smiled at her mom entering home, "hello my sweetheart Samaira! And kiaan what are you drawing baby?" She kissed Lolo's kids, they also kissed and hugged her. After all she is their one and only adorable and lovely aunt. "Where is Lolo, Mamma?" she asked Babita.

She could feel they all became silent. "She went out without saying where she's going. Bebo you must talk to her. There is something wrong but she is not telling me what it is!" Babita seemed very worried.

"I know what happed to Mummy" said little Kiaan, "She cries all the time. She is sad. Dada didn't give her chocolate. He didn't give me too. But I don't cry. I'm a big boy"

"Aww yes you are Kiaan" bebo kissed the little kid. Baita and Bebo looked at eachother. There must be something very wrong between Lolo and her husband Sanjay. Bebo must talk to Lolo. She tried to call her, but again Lolo Didn't answer the call. What's wrong with her!

Samaira and Kiaan wanted to go to Bebo's best friend Amrita Ladakh's House to meet her two little sons. Bebo thought that would be a nice idea to give the kids a change and also to meet Amu who is really busy these days. So they went to meet the Ladakh family.

In the Ladakh House:

The nursery was painted in blue, a very autumn sky kind of blue. It was also decorated with pretty wall papers of elephants and cute little monkeys. The curtains were blue polka dotted ones. It was pretty as a picture from any Décor magazine, except the floor. Amu was sitting on the floor which was flooded by innumerable toys and tissue papers, nappies, a bowl of baby food. She was sitting there hopelessly and her kids were screaming and crying.

"What is this Amu!" Bebo was surprised.

"Don't ask! The nanny quit the job without any notice. Now where will I find another good nanny. You don't have any idea how difficult it is to find a great help!"

Bebo felt sorry for bringing two kids along with her. Bebo asked Samaira ,who was a responsible little girl to be nice to the kids and playfully distract them to something calmer. Samaira was Bebo's favorite. When the Ladakh boys saw the Kapoor children they forgot about the fight and started playing with them. Amu seemed relaxed. Both the friends went outside the nursery to chat.

"Don't have kids Bebo until you are 100% ready! Just look at me. I love my kids, I do. But sometimes it feels as if I should have waited a little longer."

Bebo couldn't find any words to consol her. Amu had got pregnant when she was dating her now husband Shakeel. It was a pregnancy before marriage so they had to rush into marriage as soon as possible. The good thing was that they were in love and that love grew stronger. But for a free spirited girl like Amu the huge responsibility of a child was very difficult to deal with.

"And then I got pregnant again!" Amu wanted to talk her heart out, "I was so stupid not to continue the pills. And Shakeel, that bustard never uses condom! Oh God Bebo, always have protection when you have sex!"

"Oh Amu, you are saying as if I'm a virgin teen!"

"Trust me babies are the angels of your life. But raising them includes cleaning poops, pukes, pee, changing nappies, dealing with their tantrums, feeding them when they don't want to eat and tolerating their creams and fights and… Oh I'm so tired!"

Bebo felt so bad for her, "You need rest Amu!"

"And that is the funniest part. Mothers don't have holidays!"

While returning home from Amu's house Bebo thought about the words of her BFF. "Is it so difficult to have kids of your own?" she thought, after all I already have two step kids!

Kareena Kapoor Khan decided to wait for babies.
