Sammy sat on the bed with Gabriel next to her.
"Hey, Gabe," Sammy said, playing with his hair.
"Yeah, Mommy?" Gabriel asked.
"I have a birthday present for you a month early."
"What?" Gabriel asked, looking up at her with his pretty blue eyes.
"Mommy's going to have a baby," she said. "You're going to have a baby brother or sister."
Gabriel looked up at her. "I want a baby brother and a sister."
"I'll think about that," Sammy said. "Time to go to bed."
"Ok," Gabriel replied. Sammy kissed him on the head and then picked him up and carried him to his room and put him in his crib.
