Jen makes a little sound of distress just as the guys wander into the kitchen. Davy comes up behind her and wraps his arms around her. “Nauseous?” he asks with concern.
“No, but my ex-best friend is telling me all about the horrors of pregnancy. I think you should carry this parasite for the rest of the time.”
“I wish you’d quit calling our son a parasite,” he says.
“Daughter,” Jen counters.
“It’s a boy.”
Scott laughs. “Why don’t you just have the doctor tell you? Are you seriously going to argue over this for the next six months?”
“Yes,” they both say at the same time.
Those two really are perfect for each other.
“Aunt Jen!!” Twilla calls from the other room. “Come see my princesses! Daddy let me open my present early!”
I look at my husband, raising my eyebrow. “Oh, he did, did he?”
“Just one. You know I can deny that little girl nothing.”
I shake my head and smile at my too sweet husband. He truly is the best father. He dotes on Twilla and Andy, and I have no doubt he will be the same for the new baby.
“I love you, you big softy.”
“I love you most of all, my gorgeous wife.”
The End
