“How do you know I didn’t want a boy too?”

“Eh, then I made you happy.”

I frowned and he continued to grin like a damn innocent, but I already knew him too well.

“I was on the verge of replacing you with another girl too,” I whispered back, just to make him angry.

He grinned devilishly and leaned close to my ear, even though he was looking at the teacher.

“I don’t mind so much if you let me watch. I’m curious to see if Hannah can make you moan like I can…”

I elbowed him in the stomach to stop his filthy words. He didn’t even flinch, the asshole, because he was tense and ready to be attacked. I felt like I’d hit a rock.

He giggled next to my ear.

The teacher caught our attention again.

“OK, on the back of each doll you will find a device. I want you to open the lid and do exactly as I say.”

Harris took the doll before I could reach for it and opened its clothes and the lid, which I could barely notice because it was the same color as its skin.

We both looked at the inside of the baby in amazement, it was full of circuits and wires.

The teacher went to her desk and looked at the computer.

“At the bottom you can see two black squares. I want each of the pairs, one at a time, to put their fingerprint on the indicated square.”

“Mommy first,” Harris whispered and handed me the doll.

I looked at it a little apprehensively, but eventually put my finger on the square under “Mommy”, not knowing what that meant. Harris did the same and pressed his slightly too big finger on the “Daddy” box.

“This is some next level IVF,” V said, and the whole room burst out laughing again.

I was laughing so hard I didn’t even realize I was leaning my head against Harris’ shoulder.

He laughed too and looked at me, and I immediately straightened up, biting my lip, and looking at the doll. His body next to mine was pure electricity.

“Did everyone leave their fingerprints?”

We all nodded, a little unsure of what would happen next.

The teacher smiled as she continued typing on her computer, and Harris turned the doll towards us after closing the lid.

“And right now… your babies are alive.”

I winced as the toy baby instantly opened its eyes. It had green eyes.

Harris smiled and looked at the doll, fascinated and amused at the same time.

“Wow, that was the fastest birth I have ever seen,” Jay blurted out in amusement, making everyone laugh again.

“Like you’ve ever seen a birth,” retorted Kristen, and Jay’s nostrils flared.

“You have no idea what I do in my spare time.”

“This baby is going to have a lunatic for a father,” Kristen sighed.

“Wait a minute, my baby has green eyes, I don’t have green eyes! Who did you cheat on me with?” Ty suddenly became indignant and growled at his partner.
