Claire set her alarm on her phone for 3:00 so they would not oversleep and forget to pick Maisie up from school. Owen left to pick her up and Claire stayed in bed and thought about how she was going to break the news to Maisie that she wasn't getting a little brother. As soon as Owen pulled up in front of Maisie's school she was interrogating him with questions. He promised Claire he wouldn't say anything to Maisie until they got home. They wanted to tell her together. Maisie was anything but patient and finally crossed her arms in the backseat with a discouraged look on her face. When they got back to the apartment Maisie jumped out of the car and ran to the elevator, leaving Owen in her dust. They got upstairs and found Claire in the living room sitting on the couch texting her sister who was completely overjoyed about having another niece. Maisie ran over and practically jumped in Claire's lap ready for the gender news. "Okay, what is it? What is it? C'mon, Claire! Owen wouldn't tell me in the car on the way home! I wanna know!" Claire laughed a little and told Maisie to calm down first. Owen joined the two of them on the couch. There was dinosaur gift bag placed on the coffee table with tissue paper sticking out of the top. Claire told Maisie to open the bag, that there was something in there for her. This was the extent of their gender reveal plans. There were two shirts lying face down in the bag. The one on top was Maisie's. She pulled it out of the bag and admired it. It read "BIG SISTER" across the front. Maisie fell in love with it. "Oh my God, thank you! I love it!!" Claire advised Maisie to pull out the other shirt that was still in the bag. "Pull the other shirt out and you'll find out what your sibling is." Maisie pulled the shirt out of the bag. It matched hers exactly except for the words, "LITTLE SISTER". Maisie held it up and smiled. Claire and Owen could tell she wasn't as thrilled as she probably would have been to have a little brother, but she was still excited. "Aww, I can't wait to dress her up and teach her everything I know about dinosaurs! I'm so excited!" Claire rubbed her stomach and smiled at Owen. Maisie ran to her room to try on her new shirt and Owen leaned in on the couch and kissed Claire on the forehead. She was still a little tired from their nap earlier and closed her eyes as he kissed her. He then leaned down and kissed her stomach, bringing his hand up to intertwine with hers that was resting on her baby bump. Maisie ran back in with her new t-shirt on and Claire and Owen marveled at how cute she looked in it. "You already look like an awesome big sister," Owen said. Maisie came to sit on Owen's lap on the couch. "Not too fast there, big sister! I've got to go put the burgers on for dinner. See if Claire will help you with your homework while I go fire up the grill outside on the balcony." Owen got up to start dinner for them and Claire told Maisie to bring her homework over to the couch and they would work on it together for a while. A few minutes into a tricky math problem, Maisie randomly said, "I think the name Aiden Claire is really pretty." Claire rolled her eyes. She was convinced Owen had put Maisie up to this. "What did Owen promise to buy you for saying that?" Maisie looked at Claire in disbelief. "I just think it's a pretty name. He didn't put me up to this, I swear!" Claire wasn't falling for it. "Uh huh, sure." They continued with her homework for a little while longer until dinner was done. They ate outside on the balcony for dinner. Claire had a nice view of the city in her apartment and they enjoyed the scenery with dinner. Claire, Owen and Maisie then retired back inside for popcorn and a movie since it was a Friday night and Maisie didn't have to be in bed early for school the next morning. Claire was never bored at work. She still loved her work with a passion, but she was beginning to see why people wanted to leave around 5:00 every evening instead of working late. This whole family thing was still new to her, but she was getting accustomed to it pretty quickly. She felt selfish sometimes wanting to have both, but a part of her wanted to keep working for a new reason. She wanted to show her girls how to be a strong, professional, independent woman. She didn't want them to have to rely on anyone to survive when they got older if they didn't want to or have to. She wanted to show them how to work hard, stay determined and never give up. There were people in the world still waiting for Claire to give up on the dinosaurs but Claire wasn't about to let that happen.
