She woke up to the steady beeping of her alarm. Reaching over, she hit the snooze button, "accidentally" missing and hitting her significant other on the head. He sat up, laughing.
"Your hands couldn't hurt a fly," he laughed.
"Oh, you wait. Just you wait," she retaliated. He had it coming for her though, and the next thing she knew she was on the floor, cracking up after a blow from a pillow. She scrambled back onto the bed, and clobbered him back. This went on until the girl decided to go to the bathroom, needing to get in for rounds with the interns. One intern in particular was giving her trouble; dreading work every day did not look good on the chief's watch. When she stepped out of the shower, he was waiting.
"Excuse you!" she exclaimed. "I know we're engaged and I know you've seen me naked plenty, but I was in the freaking shower. Gimme a minute!"
"Sorry baby, I was just coming to tell you that I made you breakfast. Blueberry pancakes. Hope you enjoy!"
She replied, "It is too early to be happy. How are you so happy right now? I've already laughed, gotten hit by a pillow, and been told that my favorite breakfast has been made for me. How do you do it!"
"It's simple. You keep me happy, you keep me alive. Just having you here makes me feel, well, a way I've never felt before. I can't believe we're getting married next week. I never thought I would find someone just like you. I thought I'd found my someone, the person I'd be with forever, but I didn't know I'd meet you"
"You're sweet." She gave him a peck on the cheek, and marched into the bedroom, throwing on jeans and a sweater to match the cool fall air. When she got to the kitchen, her pancakes were on a plate at the table, across from her fiancée, coffee was steaming from a tall mug, and the sun was rising over the crisp, fall leaves. It was the picture perfect way to start a day. The only thing that would have made it better if it was at 10:00 A.M., not 5:30. She looked at her fiancé, smiled, and dug into the food. He left for a second to throw on some clothes, and returned, smiling his great smile at her. She proceeded to lose her straight face, cracking a smile. "I love you," she said, between giggles. "You're adorable," he said. "I love you too. I'm so excited for the wedding. By the way, the dress shop called last night while you were in surgery. You have a fitting at 7:00 tonight. I won't be able to go, I have a late surgery and some notes to write, but you bring a friend." Soon after, she got into the passenger seat of the car, and enjoyed a luxurious ride to work.
