Colton takes a deep breath and turns to Ella. “Do you know what it is?”

Colton nods, and his demeanor takes on one of importance. He straightens, then opens the envelope as carefully as I didmine and pulls the card out. His eyes widen, and he looks up at me.
“What is it?” My heart pounds.
“I can’t believe it.” Colton immediately starts to cry. “This is the best day of my life.” He swats the tears away, and I can barely contain my composure as the need to know builds in my chest.
“What is it?” Ella’s voice breaks.
Colton looks up at us, tears streaming down his face. “A girl. I get to have a baby sister.”
I pull him into me, breaking down in tears myself. “You’re right. Thisisthe best day ever.”
