I teased, intentionally shifting so my bump nudged his hand. "We already know it's a girl." Zaire chuckled, shrugging with a small, familiar smirk. "Well... I guess I'm just hoping there's *more*. Can't get too attached to one side of the debate until we know for sure. That first ultrasound was early, I'm still hoping." I rolled my eyes, laughing at his stubbornness. "So you're saying it could be... either way?" "Exactly," he said,
