184 I think you should try

"Zinu, look how happy is John for his nephew or a niece. You should also try to give him another son or daughter as soon as possible. Then, he would be the happiest man in the world." Mrs Smith said with a smile.

"Yes Zinu, the mother is correct. Ronnie is almost six and a half years old now. You should try for another baby. It will be good to raise both the babies together. You and Dolly both should not worry about raising the babies. We are here at home for that. I think you should try today or tomorrow or even this month." Alicia added.

Zinu was shocked to see the changing situation. It was the time for the celebration for Dolly's baby. But they are trying to bring another one here.

''They are telling about bringing another baby to the family, as like buying some vegetables from the market. Is it so easy to get pregnant and give birth? And are not they have a little bit shyness in this matter? Oh god! How could they tell about try today or tomorrow for making a baby?' She coughed to hide her embarrassment.

Dolly was enjoying her changing facial expressions. She knew that Zinu was shy. She smiled.

"Mom, Grandma. Leave her. She will run away from here if you tease her more." Dolly tried to save her friend.

Mrs Smith and Alicia laughed loudly.

"Ok.Ok. We will not tease you more. But Zinu, you also have to promise that, you will try as soon as possible for fulfil our dreams. I do not like to see Ronnie plays with his pet animals. If he would have one brother or sister, he would play with them only."

Zinu rolled her eyes in her mind.

'Are not they teasing me now?'

"Mom, Grandma why are you pulling her legs again? Let her take her time. It is not like going to the market and bring a baby."Dolly again tried to save her friend.

" Ok ok. We are leaving now. You tell us what you would like to eat? We will make that for you."Alicia said with a smile.

"Ice cream." Dolly blurted out immediately.

Everyone laughed at her quick response.

"OK dear, we are bringing some ice creams for you. Zinu would you to need some?" Alicia asked Zinu.

"Yes, mother. I would love too."Zinu replied.

Zinu sat near Dolly after they left the room.

" How are you now? We all were scared of you. You should tell me before if you faced any problems."Zinu said in low voice.

"I am fine Zinu. Do not worry about me too much. Actually, I felt nothing. I am only a little bit tired. I had some difficulty in eating some food, but I thought that it was due to acidity." I never thought that I can be pregnant like this."Dolly said in a confused voice of her.

"What about your period? Have not you missed it? How can you not notice it? It is already three and a half months. It is not a joke. If we knew before, we could take proper care earlier."

"I hope so," Zinu replied sadly. She was very worried about Dolly's health.

"Let it go. Mom and grandma were saying the right things. You should also try to a nephew or niece for me." Dolly tried to change the topic.

"Dolly, now you also starting all these?" Zinu rolled her eyes at Dolly.

"Zinu. I am telling you seriously. I know my brother. He would be very happy to get a son or daughter again. If you are thinking that bringing another baby would decrease the importance of Ronnie, then I would say that it is impossible. Ronnie is the eldest in the Smith family. Nobody would snatch his position. You don't worry about that."

"No Dolly. I am not afraid of his position in this family. I even don't care about it. I only think that I am not ready to rise another kid now. I don't know why I feel scared of even thinking of another kid."Zinu said in low voice.

"Don't worry Zinu. Everything will be fine. Just don't think about it too much."

Zinu nodded. Yes, she also wanted to give the family, the happiness which they deserve, but she was scared of giving birth to another child. Maybe this is due to the problems she faced during the birth of Ronnie when the future of Ronnie was uncertain. She was very much scared to give birth, as she did not know anything about the identity of the father of the child. She was broken mentally, although she never showed her weak side to anyone.

"What about our mission for today? Nobody will allow me to go there. But what about you? Are you going there alone? You have already done the makeup also. But, would it be good to go there without anyone? It would be risky. I think you should talk to my brother."Dolly said with a thought.

"OK Dolly, I will talk to your brother. You don't worry. I will do what your brother and Charlie decide. I think I should go now to find them. I don't know what are they doing now."Zinu said and got up to go to search John and Charlie.

"Here is the ice-cream. I have ordered fresh ice -creams for you. Have it."Alicia said with a smile.
