As the due date for my delivery approached, he became increasingly anxious, constantly fussing over me. He rarely left my side, always checking on my health and well-being, even sacrificing his own sleep and putting aside his responsibilities just to ensure me and the baby were fine..He was like a shadow, always by my side, watching over me like a hawk. His concern for my well-being and the baby's health grew stronger as the due date neared. He would often sacrifice his own needs, neglecting his rest and neglecting important matters just to be there for me..With the impending arrival of their child, he grew increasingly protective and vigilant. He was always by my side, hovering over me like a guardian angel. He would ask about my health countless times a day, making sure im comfortable and well-cared for. He became somewhat obsessive about the safety and well-being of both me and the baby, neglecting his own needs in the process...

"Kookoo bub listen..?" I called him..as im going through my stuff

He hurried into the room, a hint of urgency in his steps.
"Yes, doll? What is it?"
He asked, his attention solely focused on me, ready to address any concern i had..

"Calm down bub.,we have guests coming over remember." as im concerned.. he told me his few business partners are coming for dinner, so i need some preparation for them..

He slowed down his pace, taking a deep breath and calming himself.
"Right..."
He nodded, understanding my reminder."We have guests coming for dinner tonight."

"Don't tell me you forget about your own guests" i asked him curiously.

He sighed softly, running a hand through his hair. "No, I didn't forget. Just got a bit carried away."
He admitted reluctantly, realizing he had almost overlooked his own guests in his worry for me and the baby.

"Really? Okay tell me what I need to prepare for them." I asked him..

He took a moment to collect his thoughts, his mind shifting gears.
"Right, the menu. Let's see..."
He began to list off the dishes they needed to prepare for their dinner guests.
I listened carefully and tried to gather the ingredients
"No, no. You sit down."
He quickly interjected, noticing my attempt to get up..He gestured for me to sit down, a concerned look crossing his face."You should rest, doll. I'll handle the preparations for the dinner."
He insisted, not wanting me to overexert myself in your state..

"But we don't have time ,baby" i interrupt him..

He shook his head firmly.
"I know, but your health is more important. Let me take care of this. You just focus on taking care of yourself and our child."
He replied, his tone gentle yet resolute..
He moved around the kitchen with focused efficiency, prepping and cooking each dish with precision and care. He was intent on ensuring everything was perfect for their guests, even as i sat nearby, watching his every move..Despite the last-minute preparations and potential stress, he remained focused and efficient as he cooked and arranged the food..

As night fell, his business partners arrived, filling the room with lively conversation and serious discussions. I sat beside him, listening quietly as the men and the woman chatted about their business affairs..They engaged in conversation with him, discussing various business matters..the female partner, occasionally glancing at me with a reassuring smile...

I excused myself from the conversation, gently rising from my seat. "I'll go arrange the food." I mentioned softly, making your way to the kitchen..

Just as i was busy in the kitchen, one of his business partners entered, a friendly smile on his face.
"Hey there," he greeted warmly. "Need any help?"

I turned toward him with a friendly smile, dismissing his offer politely.
"No, thank you. I'm alright. Please, have a seat. Dinner will be ready shortly."
I gestured towards the living area where the others were still engaged in their business discussions.
