MIKE'S OFFICE

Mike worriedly picked up the phone to call Zoey for the fifth time since going into the office that morning at 8 am. It was 9 am.

"Hello?"

"Zoey! Are you okay? Do you need anything?"

"You've been gone for an hour and a half. I'm fine."

"Don't forget to hire someone to clean the cat's litter box."

"Please just get to work. This is only the second month of my pregnancy. Today we'll pick out wallpaper for the nursery."

"You're sure you're completely fine?"

"See you soon."

That afternoon, Mike left his office at 5. He and Zoey headed to Babies R Us to pick out stuff for the baby.

"How about the jungle wallpaper?" Mike asked.

"Sure." The couple bought the rest of the stuff—gender-neutral, of course—and went home.

MIKE'S BRAIN

Svetlana excitedly watched the next day as Mike took Zoey to see Sierra, her doctor while she was pregnant. Sierra took the ultrasound.

"The baby is fine. Everything is going just right." She was carefully marking something inside their file. Svetlana had been keeping the other personalities updated with the news.
