"Who's a good boy?" Ethan asked his godson. Little Ethan gave a grin in response. Ethan smiled ba;ck.
"I can't wait till our little baby is born." Gwen said while rubbing her swollen belly.
Ethan looked up. "Any day now." He said. "And I can't wait." Ethan got up to plant a kiss on his wife.
"I can't wait either, Ethan. You know, I knid of wish we'd let the doctor tell us if it's a boy or girl. The suspense is killing me!"
"Yeah, well, you and I both agreed ahead of time not to discover the gender of our child until the birth."
"I know, I know. You don't have to remind me." Gwen rolled her eyes.
Ethan laughed. "I love you, sweetheart." Ethan told her.
"I love you too." Gwen replied. I just hope you still don't love Theresa. She thought to herself. "Oh!" Gwen cried out in paid. She doubled over while clutching her stomach.
"Gwen!" Ethan cried. "What is it? Is it the baby? Are you ready to go to the hospital?"
"Just a kick." Gwen said after catching her breath. "A strong kick. It just took me by surprise."
"Are you sure?" Ethan asked concerned. Maybe you should sit down. You've been up all day since we've been here at the zoo. You probably should've stayed home and rested."
"Ethan, honey, I'm fine." Gwen reassured him. "I'll be fine. Please, don't worry. Besides, I'm having fun here and I can't wait till we take our own child to visit the zoo."
"Yeah." Ethan smiled. He turned away from her to play with Little Ethan.
Gwen looked away off in the distance. I'll be fine once this baby is born. Hopefully by then you can fully devote yourself to me and our child, and not on thoughts of Theresa.
