Your POV
"Oh my goodness, is this our aunt?", I heard a voice as I began stir in my sleep. "Ssh! Dewey! You are going to wake her up." I heard another voice and I slowly opened my eyes to find three children standing before me. One was dressed in a red shirt with a red cap, the second was dressed in a blue shirt, and the third had a green hoodie on. I jumped in surprise and they laughed a bit. "Oh sorry for waking you up, we are Scrooge McDuck's nephews. I am Huey, and these two are Dewey and Louie." They waved back at me. "So are you our aunt?," Louie asked. "Are you in love with Scrooge?", Dewey asked. "How long have you loved our uncle?", Huey asked as he whipped out a pen and notebook. "Well I'm not sure if I am your aunt. Yes I am in love with Scrooge and since I began working here for Scrooge, I developed feelings for him." The boys nodded in approval while Huey continued to take down notes.

"Where is Scrooge by the way?" The boys frowned, looking up at Scrooge's office. I nodded and got up to go see him. I heard him angerly talking on the phone with his businessmen and slamming the phone down. I knocked on the door. "Come in". I entered the room, his expression turned from annoyance to loving. "Oh lass, thank goodness you are awake. Did the boys wake you?" I shook my head, pretending that I woke myself up. Scrooge took my hand and lead me to his couch. "I am sorry for not being with you when you woke up. Mrs. Beakley, my secretary and maid, arrived early this morning and so did the boys and Webby, her grand daughter. So I had to rush this morning along with calls from my workers." He growled at the mention of the word "workers", but softened a bit from my putting my head on his shoulder. "So then I had to explain to everyone our little adventure from yesterday and the boys have been asking me nonstop about us becoming a couple."

I smiled, kissing his cheek. "They did the same to me when I woke up." Scrooge chuckled. "Oh those little troublemakers they are. Reminds me of when I was their age and craved adventure. After getting my first dime from shining boots, I went to America to begin my quest for gold." Hearing his tale from discovering his way of adventure was breath taking. "Then I had the greatest adventure of my life. Falling in love with you, lass." I blushed hard, kissing him on the lips.
"Ewww," Dewey groaned as he witnessed our kiss. I giggled while Scrooge began to chase him around the room.

A girl came in with a pink bow in her hair. "Hi I'm Webby, Mrs. Beakleys daughter and I know about your adventure with Scrooge, but tell me more about yourself like your favorite hobbies, food, and cookies." I giggled and told her everything that she wanted to know as best as I can. She was writing down each answer on a notepad and I was starting to like her. "So since you worked here for a week, does that mean you won't work here anymore now that my granny is back?," Webby asked sadly. I was surprised by that question. "I'm not sure. I signed up to work for a week and now I don't know if Scrooge will fire me." I got up and went looking for Scrooge. I saw him drinking tea in the kitchen while Mrs. Beakley was cooking sandwiches.

"Lassie, you are just in time for some lunch." My heart sank as I prepared to ask Scrooge the question. "Scrooge, now that Mrs. Beakley is back from vacation, does that mean I'm fired?" Scrooge lead me to a seat beside him and held my hand. "No lass. Just because Mrs. Beakley is back, doesn't mean I'm goin' to fire ye. We are a couple, but I am not goin' to fire ye either." I wiped away any tears and hugged him tightly. "I love you so much." Scrooge kissed my cheek, "I love ye too." Webby and the boys sat down and began to eat their food. I thanked Mrs. Beakley for the meal and she gave me a slight nod, having an emotionless stare.

"My granny used to be a secret agent, so that's why she is stern and wouldn't let me out for a while before Huey, Louie, and Dewey came along," Webby said as she took a drink of punch. I smiled, loving how much I learned from Scrooge McDuck's nephews and Mrs. Beakleys grand daughter.

After lunch, Scrooge went back to his office for quiet time while I sat in the garden. I caught a glance of the calendar on my way out and noticed that it was Scrooge McDuck's birthday tomorrow. I got excited and my brain was brewing up a storm to figure out how to plan his birthday. Webby came outside and sat beside me. "Whatcha thinking about, (Y/N)?" "About how to plan Scrooge's birthday." Webby's face began to pale slightly. "Oh no Scrooge doesn't like parties." I chuckled. "Everybody loves parties, especially those who celebrate with friends and loved ones." Webby shook her head. "It reminds him of how old he is. Last year, the boys threw a party for him and they thought that someone kidnapped him. It turned out that Scrooge planned for this to happen and his deceased butler, Duckworth, who apparently hosted the best parties, came back as a ghost."

I laughed a bit of the thought of a ghost came back to the mansion, but this is Scrooge McDuck. My love of my life and he wants to celebrate his birthday by not doing anything? I continued to think about this and thought of something. "How about a surprise party, Webby? We don't tell him that its a party until night time and I will trick him into going to the Money Bin for the day." Webby thought about it for a minute and smiled. "Alright we can try to do this, but we have to pretend its a regular day for him. He may not be happy with it later, but he might enjoy it with you hosting the party." I nodded and continued to think about the decorations, food, and theme for the party. I will not allow Scrooge to spend his birthday alone.
