Slumping in my chair, I cross my arms over the table and rest my head on them after I return from the meeting. I am having a killing headache which is making me dizzy and nauseatic as hell.

Opening my one eye, I text Adam informing him that I am done with the meeting. Thankfully, he will be coming to pick me up as I don't think I could have driven back home because I am feeling crap.

It is nothing but a miracle that I managed to complete my presentation without fainting or puking my guts out.

A soft touch on my head startles me but I relax when I find mom looking at me with concern filled eyes.

"What happened?" She asks in a concerned tone, "Are you not feeling well?" Worry lacing her words.

"Yeah, I am having a fever and now I feel like the entire room is spinning due to this stupid headache." I groan and again put my head down while closing my eyes.

When mom doesn't say anything, I lift my head to find her in some thought.

"Mom..." I whine like a little girl, "I want to sit on your lap and hug you." I look at her giving her my best pout.

I always feel better when I cuddle with mom. She is my best medicine. And right now, I just want my mom.

Mom shakes her head and laughs while planting a kiss on my forehead which brings a smile to my face. Holding her hand, I place it on my cheek and lean into her touch enjoying her familiar scent which instantly makes me feel a little bit better.

"Hannah, have you consider taking a pregnancy test?" Raising her eyebrows, she asks.

Her words make me choke on my own spit as my eyes widen comically.

"Me? Pregnant?" I chuckle nervously, "Mom, you are joking right?" I ask hoping she is joking even though her expression says how serious she is.

Now when I think about this, I do feel this might be possible. However, I am feeling extremely scared if this news is true as I don't know if we are ready for a child.

"Mom, I..." I swallow feeling anxious, "Mom, I am scared because I and Adam have never really discussed about having a kid. Moreover, I don't think this would be the right time to have a kid."

"Hannah, don't stress yourself as we don't even know if this is true." She smiles at me trying to ease my nerves, "And if you are pregnant then I am sure even then everything will turn out to be fine because babies are blessings which only bring immense happiness in everyone's life." She lovingly looks at me.

"So, now, should we go and find out if I am becoming a grandmother or I have to make chicken soup for you and give you cuddles to nurse you back to health?" She lightly laughs making me laugh as well.

"Okay." I smile and stand up to hug her, "But before anything else, I need a big and long hug from my mom." I squeeze her in a big hug.

She wraps her arms around me and kisses the side of my head while murmuring sweet nothings.

Her embrace brings indescribable comfort to me. A smile forms on my lips thinking about the similar comfort, my child will find in my embrace as I find in hers.

The idea of having a baby doesn't seem as scary to me as it seemed a few moments ago, especially, since my child will most probably like me, cute and adorable. So I guess I will not mind this adorable surprise if life has decided to surprise me with one.
