Closing her eyes before the wand ever touched her stomach, Lauren drew in a calming breath, waiting for the inevitable.

It didn’t matter that she had already birthed one happy, healthy baby or that she felt fine and the only thing that had changed in a matter of a week was the positive pregnancy tests she had tossed before Mishca could find them.

None of that mattered.

She was still nervous—that flutter of anxiety making her chew on her bottom lip as she waited, and waited, and waited some more.

“Right there,” the technician said, making Lauren’s eyes pop open as she frantically looked at the monitor she was pointing at.

Because as much as she had been nervous before, now she just wanted the truth.

She needed to know.

And right there, in the center of the screen, was a tiny mass.

A cluster of cells and hardly more than that, but the longer she stared, the technician’s voice fading to the background of her thoughts, the more she fell in love.

Quickly.

Easily.

Because right there in black and white was another baby.

A little girl or another little boy.

Her daughter or son.

Sacha’s younger sibling.

“Oh God, if you start crying, I will too, and no one wants to see that,” Amber said with a watery laugh, sniffling herself as she swiped at a tear that spilled over.

The smiling technician excused herself, promising to return shortly with a picture of the ultrasound, then left them alone.

“So are you still planning on surprising Mish?”

Lauren wasn’t sure where the idea had come from. Her first intention had always been to share the news with Mishca once she got confirmation, but leading up to today’s appointment, another idea had struck her. One that both elated her and made her nervous.

She rarely kept secrets from her husband. Not only because she wasn’t very good at keeping them—she loved to share and often got too excited to contain them—but because they made it a point not to keep secrets from each other.

But this time, she was determined not to give it away.

Because with Christmas coming up, she had the best idea for his present, and knowing him as well as she did, she knew it would be the best one yet.
