Just a little gift for all you readers! For the immense love you've given for this book and also for the love of Shivika!

This is a dedication to the daughter who was killed even before she was born, just because her brother's love story has more potential for better TRP!

And, I can't find this being shown in any of my other books. It was as if this is where it truly belongs!

P.S. Expect some more bonus chapters in the future ;)

Shivaay woke up to the soft, slightly sloppy kisses he was receiving on his cheeks. His lips immediately cruved up into a small smile as he knew who was giving it.

"Good morning Shivika!" He yawned lazily as he held his three year old daughter firmly into his chest, locking her into him, keeping her safe. She giggled since his stubble was ticklish on her temple and as she wished him good morning back.

"Dad! Wake up! Don't sleep back!" Shivika urged her father as she bounced on his stomach.

"I'll wake up. What about your Mom? See! She's still sleeping! Wake her up too!" Shivaay tried to divert his daughter's attention to his wife.

Shivika excitedly got off Shivaay and fell on her mother, hugging her.

"Mom! Wake up!" She squealed while squeezing into her mother's embrace.

"Baby! Mom is not feeling so well today. Let me sleep a little longer, please!" Anika sighed.

As soon as Shivaay heard that from her, he sprang up and placed the back of his palm on her forehead to see if she was having fever. Her body was cold and there was no signs of fever, yet she looked very pale and exhausted. Just then, something clicked in Shivaay's mind and he took his phone out to check on her period tracker. She was on her periods!

Little Shivika couldn't understand that her mother was not in a good shape and tried to wake her up once again when her father pulled her onto  his lap.

"Dad, Mom is still sleeping!" She cribbed.

"Shivi, baby, your Mom is not feeling well. Shall we make something for her?" He asked his daughter who readily agreed.

Shivaay lifted Shivika in his one arms and covered Anika with the comforter properly, before dropping a kiss on her temple while whispering 'I love you' to her.

"So, what shall we prepare?" Shivaay asked his daughter after placing her on the kitchen aisle and putting the apron on himself.

"Pancake! Rainbow pancake!" Shivika beamed.

Shivaay chuckled at his daughter's excitement and took out the ingredients for the pancake. Just then, his twins walked into the kitchen.

"Good morning Dad! Good morning Shivi!" Anvaay, the elder one among the twins wished them as he settled himself next to Shivi and took her in his lap.

Ansh, the younger twin wrapped his arms around Shivaay legs and snuggled closer into him.

"Dad, where's Mumma?" He asked upon not finding his mother in the kitchen.

"Ansh, your mother isn't feeling so well, hence, we are making her breakfast!" Shivaay truthfully told his son.

"Oh! Should I go massage her feet?"

"Sounds good to me!" Shivaay supported Ansh's idea.

"I'll get Mom got water bag!" Anvaay exclaimed.

"No Anvaay! You are still too young to handle hot water!" Shivaay reprimanded his elder son while he worked on the batter of the pancake.

"Oh Dad! Which century are you living in? We have this new electric heating water bag at home. I'll get that for Mom. And I can handle that for Mom!" Anvaay swiftly got down from the aisle and the twins rushed into their parents bedroom.

"Dad, Shivi?" Shivika questioned as both her Bhai went off to attend to their mother.

"Baby, you'll be here with Papa and help me with this, okay?"

"Okay!" Shivika clapped her hands.

Soon, Shivaay had separated the batter into seven small compartments to be made into different colours. As Shivaay made the pancakes one by one, Shivika placed the frosting her father had prepared with some strawberries chunks and layered them. Soon, when there was all seven layers, she made a large cone of whipped cream on the side of the tower with strawberries at the bottom and chocolate chips as the eye.

"What is this Shivi?" Shivaay asked out of curiosity.

"Offo! Dad! It's a unicorn!" She claimed.

Shivaay could only smile at her adarobleness and swiftly made some hot chocolate with marshmallows on top of them for all his munchkins, Anika, Anvaay, Ansh and Shivika while pouring himself some hot espresso. As soon as he had done plating all their breakfast, he called out to Anvaay who readily came to help him get the trays into their room.

Shivaay entered the room to find Anika sitting on the bed with crossed legs as Ansh massaged her shoulder. She threw her best smile at him as he entered the room with the breakfast.

"Alright everyone! It's breakfast time!" Shivaay beamed while serving his family the unicorn rainbow pancake tower for each and everyone of them with a tall mason jar of hot chocolates with marshmallows!

"This is wonderful, isn't it kids?" Anika asked.

"Yes it's awesome!" The kids replied in chorus and they indulge themselves into their breakfast.

Little Shivika was having trouble to eat her pancakes and Shivaay carefully cut them into pieces for her so that she can eat it perfectly without making a mess. Anika admired the father-daughter bond the duo shared as she hugged her twins who were on her either sides.

As if knowing that Anika was looking at him, Shivaay lifted his head up and their gazes locked. She blushed when he looked at her with the same admiration despite being married for 10 years now and having three kids together.

"I love you!" She mouthed to him.

He smiled as he kisses on his daughter's forehead and mouthed back the same to her.

And that was how the Oberois began their morning on a lazy Sunday. Breakfast on bed with the whole family together.
