Waking up with a fever is the last thing that I wanted today when I have a long day ahead and I can't afford to slack anywhere. I have a presentation that I have to nail at any cost to get a promotion at work.

People think having your parent as your boss comes with perks, but for me, the situation is quite different. Mom is a strict boss, however, when it comes to me she takes that strictness to another level. She has never favored me nor she has given me any kind of special treatment.

In fact, during my internship days, some people used to have a hard time believing that I am her daughter as the sword of being kicked out of work always used to hang above my neck. And still, I get such ultimatums often whenever I do any mistake.

Turning my head to look at Adam, I find him still sleeping this means I have enough time to treat him with a special breakfast which I have planned for him as Adam will start going to his office from today and I want him to have a special start.

I have seen him working day and night, to fulfill the dream which we have seen together. I am feeling so thrilled, that today finally he will be taking his first step towards our dream, maybe even more than him.

However, a wave of dizziness hits me as I stood up too fast because my bladder was about to burst. The thought of wetting myself makes me push the dizziness away as I make it to the bathroom just in time before any accident happens.

Quickly getting on with my morning routine, I check the time to realize I will not be at home to see off Adam. So I decide to leave little love notes in his stuff and so that he knows that he will always be on my mind.

I love him like crazy. He is the best husband that I could wish for and I always make sure to show him my love as I don't want to make him feel that I take him for granted.

He means the world to me and I will never shy away from telling him this, so whenever something difficult comes our way he will know how much I love him, and together we can get over anything.

By the time I finish making breakfast Adam walks inside the kitchen. His sleepy eyes widen when he eyes the breakfast which I have settled on the table.

"Girl! I don't remember that today is my birthday?" He chuckles eying all his favorite breakfast items some of which I have made myself and others I have got it delivered from the nearby cafe.

"I don't need any special day to treat my husband with a special breakfast." I shrug with a smile and walk towards him.

"Good Morning." I greet him with a hug and I can't help but laugh when he squeezes me tightly.

Suddenly, he pulls back and looks at my face in concern.

"Why are you so warm?" He places the back of his hand on my forehead and instantly his eyebrows shoot up, reminding me of my fever, "Shit, you are burning."

Honestly, in the excitement of preparing this breakfast, I haven't even felt that I am running a fever. But now when he has mentioned I do realize my energy levels are going down with which moment.

"It is nothing to worry about." I brush off his concern, "I will just take some medicine after breakfast, then I have to leave for work."

"Hannah, you are not going anywhere." His stern tone makes me roll my eyes at him, as I feel sometimes he treats me as a small child.

"Adam, I have a presentation today and I can't take off." I sigh as suddenly the idea of snuggling in bed and being sick feels tempting.

His shoulders slump in defeat as he knows it will not be possible for me to stay at home, as any other day I would have called in sick but today I simply can't.

"Can you return home early from work, as soon as you are done with the presentation?" He asks hopefully as his hand again touches my cheek in concern.

"I think I can do that." I smile trying to lessen his worry.

"Great, so I will pick up from work as soon as you are done with your presentation." He places a kiss near my hairline. "And we are not having any further discussion about it," he adds with finality when he notices I am about to protest.

"Okay." I roll my eyes at him but from inside his concern warms my heart.

"Have you thought that I might become mad at you, for doing all this when you are not feeling well?" He waves his hand towards the table while arching an eyebrow.

"Oh, I don't have to worry about your anger." I smirk as I throw my arms around his neck, "Because I know how to calm your anger just fine." I wink at him which causes him to break out of his serious demeanor.

"I am just a puppet in your hand." He caresses my jaw with his thumb while lightly bumping his forehead against mine, "And you know this so well that I can't stay angry with you for more than a few minutes."

"And I love you for that." I shrug as I sit on my chair and make a plate for myself because I am starving.

"Just for that?" He asks teasingly, as he takes his seat.

"No, there are many other things, but if I start telling all of those then neither of us will get to our work on time and I don't want you to be late on the first day at your own office." I nod my head as I take a small bite of the muffin. "So maybe some other time I will tell you all the things which makes me love you even more."

"I will hold you to that." He smiles as he digs in his breakfast as well.

After finishing the breakfast, I grab his gift which I have kept hidden in my purse.

"Congratulations on your first step towards success, Mr. Williams." I smile and hand him a wooden pen holder with his name engraved on it.

A feeling of happiness and pride encase my heart thinking about how much we have waited for this moment when finally he will get what he actually deserves.

"Thank you so much, Beautiful." He looks into my eyes while a heartwarming smile graces his lips, "Not only for this gift but for believing in me and supporting me at each and every step. And also encouraging me to work hard to achieve the dream which we have seen together."
