"Would you like to know the genders yet?"

Lilianna chimes in, almost making my decision for me.

"Yes!"

"No!"

She pouts, resembling a child.

"At least let me know? I want to plan a gender revealing party."

"Who would attend?"

"I'll figure it out! Please, just let me know the gender."

She gives me her classic puppy-dog eyes and I give in.

"Can you tell her the genders but not me?"

"Of course."

She clicks away at the computer before the humming of a machine joins the room. It's a photo like the other one, but this time, the technician hides it from me. She circles and writes some things down before slipping it into another large, dark yellow folder. The folder is transferred to Lilianna's hands and she anxiously starts to tear into it. I grab her hand.

"When we get out to the car."

Lilianna, being her typical impatient self, grumbles.

"You'll find out soon enough."
