Dhiya queried-"So U really are going to do this Piya?"
Piya nodded while making the drinks bar a little more exciting-"I have this Fiery Sambuca Slammer recipe U girls will be hooked once U try it. (Facing Dhiya holding her hand) Dhiya U made me see it is possible to sacrifice your soul to be with the one U truly love. U had the guts to do what i could not til now. I've been so afraid of living forever without my children being there. I could never outlive them. I refuse to do so. But i feel different now i know Jiya is going to be alright. Her vampire genes have finally kicked in. Ajay is heading in the same direction but he chooses to age till he looks a little older than 18. He promised me he'd stop aging by this year."
Misha laughed trying to change the subject.-"Who would have thought life with Abhay would make Piya into a party animal."
Piya took a sip of her bloody Mary-"That's strong. (Piya grins cheekily) Try having your vampire brood making everything glass proof. The kids think i'm accident prone so i need a couple of these to mellow me down. I actually find letting yourself go a little is ok. Abhay doesn't mind me going a little crazy. He already thinks i'm full on mad as it is."
Lexie had a twinkle in her eye-"Tell me about it. The last 10 years with your brother has been a little hectic and the twins are little monsters. Gia maybe the eldest but she sure knows how to be a little madam and then her sister tries to cover up her big sister's tracks by taking the blame herself. I can't believe how quick this times flown by. Sid's been wrapped round their little fingers and he spoils them rotten. Daddy's little girls are a handful. I'm just relieved they haven't inherited their father's temper."
Misha laughed at her big brother's temper-"I know what U mean. Lux is exactly the same. You'd think his werewolf side was more dominant than his vampire side. He is exactly the same with Nisha. Thank goodness she has no powers otherwise i'd have been a nervous wreck."
Lexie warned Misha-"Don't speak too soon Misha. There's still time for her powers to develop if she has any then it will all come at once. So how is my sweet big brother faring up to domestic life?"
Misha rolled her eyes-"He's settled in perfectly. He deals with the school runs and all of Nisha's extra curricular activities while i teach her how to stay tough and have lots of fun. I have the best job ever and the best little family i could have asked for. U did a good job on your brother Lexie and on my brother."
Lexie moaned-"Wanna take my girls for a day and swap with me for one day you'll know what hard work is. So when is Jiya due?"
Piya checked her watch-"She's with her friends and Shiv. Both her and Shiv are inseperable these days. It's driving Abhay mental. He wants his little girl to remain a little girl."
Lexie empathised with Piya-"Lux feels the same way about her too. He won't let Jiya out of his sight."
Misha gulped down her very own cocktail-"I must be losing my touch. This liquer is strong. (Misha scrunched her face and let out an Ahhh) I feel like my husband cares more for Jiya than me at times and that's telling U something. My niece is something of an enchantress alright. She's got all the men where she wants them."
Piya let out a laugh-"She takes after her mother."
There was a herd of girls all entering the hall. Lexie-"Looks like Jiya's friends are here."
Piya heard the sound of her daughter coming this way-"So this is where U and Dad got to! U were both with Jiya and her friends."
Lexie got a call from Lux-"They are heading your way."
Lexi replied back dryly-"You're a little late for the warning Darling." She put her mobile down. "Men."
Abhay plastered a devilish little smile-"In my defence i did do what i said i'd do but i had loads of time to kill and decided to spend it with my little princess."
Jiya pouted coolly replying back in a serious tone-"I am not a little girl anymore Dad. I have a name U know?"
Abhay kissed his daughter's forehead his eyes sparkling with pride-"U will always be my little princess. So are we going to get this party started or what?"
Jiya beamed with delight running to hug her Mother-"U are the worlds best parents U know that? I love it Mom."
Piya gave her daughter a kiss on her cheek-"It's worth all the headache to see the smile on your face Jiya. So what have U and your Dad been up to in my absence?"
Jiya added brightly-"It's between me and Dad Mom sorry can't reveal anything."
Piya sulked-"Both U and Abhay are so mean."
Abhay took Piya in his arms chuckling-"U have your son on your side don't forget."
Piya suddenly remembered-"We left the boys at home. U have to call them Abhay. They are missing out on Jiya's graduation party."
Abhay grabbed his mobile texting the boys to head over to the hall-Come over to the hall he texted.
Sidharth Raichand and the boys rushed over superfast at the hall while Sidharth Dobrial drove over bringing the twins over and Nisha with him. Then Kabir and Pari made their entrance with Ruhi and her son Rahul and daughter Anamika with her husband Angad. They were all quirky as ever. Tracker hadn't changed much and her children were the mini me's.
Abhay went to welcome Kabir-"Welcome my friend. It's so good to see U after 4 years. I trust we are cool with how things stand?"
Kabir's eyes expressed a mutual understanding-"We are cool bro. I get why there was so much mystery revolving around your family and why Jiya and Ajay are so like U now. Pari filled me in. So where is Jiya? Last time i saw her she must have been a teen. Has she stopped U know? Aging?"
Abhay smiled-"See for yourself."
Jiya gave her uncle Kabir a sparkling smile showing her pearl whites-"It's so good to see U after a long time."
Pari embraced Jiya with a warm hug-"U are so beautiful Jiya. U have your father's features. U have his spirit. Its so refreshing to see so much of him in U. No wonder he is so protective over U. And Lux can't stop gushing about U. So where is your cheeky brother?"
Jiya pointed towards the drinks bar-"Where there's drinks there's Ajay. He's with Ridz. (Jiya watched Aryan with her grey eyes) U are so cute. (She kissed his cheek) Gia and Kashis are with Nisha. U wanna go see them?"
Aryan nodded shyly-"I like your smile. You're so pretty."
Jiya held Aryan's hand leading him towards the girls-"There U go. Meet your cousins. Girls be good to him. I am watching U. No monkey business OK? Ankur and Anamika here's some jelly sweets for U."
Gia innocently aired-"We promise we will behave. I don't think Mom is too happy with me for playing a prank on uncle Sid."
Jiya watched Uncle Sid R with his hair dyed red whispering so only Gia would hear-"Ouch. I can't believe U did this. I'll fix it but U keep your powers under check here."
Siharth Raichand exchanged his super mischievious smile at his brother Abhay-"Bro i can't believe U ditched us for the girls. U always were a ladies man."
Abhay held his hands up in the air-"Bro where there's Jiya theres me. U know how it is with girls. On second thoughts U don't. So i guess the hairdo is Gia's handiwork."
Sid R chuckled-"These girls in our family are dangerous. For someone so young she sure has a lot of confidence and cheek."
Abhay compared Sid with the girls-"That comes from U big bro. They are getting into the jovial aspect of their powers. Its healthy. They know who they can have fun with. Good job you're not the old Sid. Then you'd have seen how powerful they really are. Lexie's training them to control their powers with Jiya."
Sid R was keen to know more about his niece-"So she's powerful too. Jiya's sure got the best of both worlds."
Abhay felt like his heart would burst with so much with pride-"She is so intelligent, Her powers are so advanced and she has an old soul like Piya. She's grown up too fast."
Sid R felt the same-"I know Abhay. Ridz and Ajay have grown too quickly. It's a relief to know they aren't going to U know?"
Abhay found the word die too hard to swallow-"I know. We are lucky we have a happy ending."
Sid R watched Shiv from the corner of his eye-"How do U feel about Shiv?"
Abhay glared at his way-"There's nothing i can do. Jiya's chosen him. And he's been good to our family. I can't help feel envious of him. My little girls flying the nest this soon wasn't something i'd prepared myself for."
Jiya came over with Shiv-"Dad i think its time U and Mom danced together while i have Uncle Sid all to myself."
Abhay left her with her uncle heading for Piya again. He twirled Piya around while Lux took the floor with Misha. Sidharth Dobrial danced with Lexie.
Abhay complimented Piya's glow-"So ho are we doing Piya? U remembered our little talk right?"
Piya had her arms around Abhay's neck reaching towards him to whisper the words he'd dreaded to hear from her-"I'm ready Abhay but we have a slight problem. I'm pregnant."
Abhay's mouth fell to the floor-"Your what?"
Piya's eyes focused solely on Abhay's features watching him intently-"This time no magic is necessary Abhay. U don't need to feel guilty. With Jiya all grown up and Ajay reaching the full maturity i couldn't resist. Am i forgiven?"
Abhay let out a smile-"Yeah. I am excited with the prospect of being a father again but isn't this supposed to be our time Piya? I don't want to see U go through all the hard labour."
Piya kissed Abhay's lips-"I want this Abhay. I want us to be whole. I don't want to turn back and regret anything. Being a vampire is a permanent deal. I love U Abhay."
Abhay-Me too Piya.
Jiya made an announcement-"So i'd like to wrap this night with a simple Thank U to my wonderful Parents. They are what i aspire to end up like. I want what they have. A loving family. A perfect relationship. Their devotion to each other and A SOULMATE for life. So we have another celebration."
Abhay bent down on one knee-"Will U marry me again Piya? This time we have the kids to see us get married again. It's to reaffirm our ties this time as vampires."
Piya's eyes watered-"I will Abhay. But after Two months time."
Shiv mustered up the courage to ask for Jiya's hand from Abhay and Piya-"I suppose i have no other alternative but to lay it out in the open. I want to marry your daughter Jiya. I will keep her happy always and stand by her forever. She is my SOULMATE Abhay. Do i have both your permission? Plaese (Hes asked nervously)."
Jiya hovered around with her big grey eyes waiting for an answer-"Dad?"
Abhay and Piya exchanged glances and both in unison-"U have our blessing. We know how much U love her. So if Jiya wants to marry she can."
Jiya jumped for joy hugging her Dad-"Thank U thank U Dad. Mom."
Lux moaned-"What's the rush?"
Jiya beamed-"Lifes too short to waste waiting around. I know how hard it was for Mom and Dad. I want this to run smoothly. U won't lose me uncle Lux. I'll always be around."
Sidharth Dobrial raised three cheers for the happy couple-"Now our family is complete. Mom and Dad have just got here."
Sidharth Raichand-"Pop the Champaign open. We are about to blow this hall off. Shive welcome to the family my boy. I'm sure you'll fit in with the rest of us mitsfits."
Lux shook Shiv's hand-"I suppose i can let another werewolf into the family."
Madhoo and Arnab finally found Piya, Abhay, Misha and their grandchildren all huddled around. They hugged and greeted all the family one by one. Exchanging pleasantries. Arnab and Madhoo had finally accepted their unusual breed of family members. Arnab forgave Misha and Piya for keeping Abhay and Jiya's origins a secret along with Sidharth's.
Arnab mused-"Looks like we made it in time for the actual celebrations."
Misha replied-"But U missed Piya and Jiya's news. Piya's renewing her wedding vows and U can welcome another addition to the family. Piya's having another baby and Jiya's getting married."
Arnab expressed his congratulations to both couples-"This really is a happy beginning for U all."
Madhoo touched Piya's cheeks-"U have always been special to us Piya bringing so much love with U."
Ajay blurted out-"Can we eat the cake yet i'm starving?"
Abhay nodded cheerfully-"Trust him to ruin a moment. Come on people you've heard the boy. He'll scoff the whole lot if we don't hurry."
After the celebrations were over Abhay headed back to his manor with Piya in his arms leaving the kids partying through the night.
Abhay looking at the moon with Piya in their bedroom-"This is where U belong Piya. Always in my arms and in my life."
Piya gave her husband a kiss with raw passion-"And U belong with me Abhay. Wewill always be together and i am eternally grateful for all the roads leading us together. My life is complete now Abhay. U make me complete."
This is the end of the FF but only the Beginning for Abhiya's life has only just begun so this is not the end for them.
Hope U enjoyed the FF as much as i have writing it.
The End
