Yeah... sorry this one is late and kinda short, but I have an excuse! I'm sick. So don't yell at me. Enjoy!

TK said a silent prayer in his head as he picked the top card from the deck. Come on, come on… his hand shook with anticipation. This could determine the whole outcome of the game. He snuck a look. Could be better, but still not too bad. He set his card down for his opponent to see and watched as the opponent drew a card. Oh, crap.

"Purple! I win again!" Nori smiled.

Stupid Candyland! TK thought as he reshuffled the cards and moved the pieces back to start. "Okay, one more game. There's no way I can lose this time!"

"No, I don't wanna. I'm tired of Candywand. We pwayed a bazillion times."

"Alright, sport. We're done with Candyland." Until tomorrow, TK added in his head, I'll beat that darn game if it's the last thing I do!

As TK put the game away, he heard the phone ring. Nori picked it up.

"Daddy! The pink docker wants to talk to you!" He called.

TK smiled, but Dr. Greystone's pink hair was losing its humor. "Hello, Dr. Greystone," he said into the phone.

"Hello, Mr. Takashi. Charming lad you have there."

"Um, yeah. Thanks."

"Okay, I'm calling with your lab results. Your baby, as I suspected, is perfectly healthy. Your wife, on the other hand…"

"What?"

"Only joking, only joking. Both mother and child are well and normal. Do you want to know what gender it is?"

"And you told her NO!" Yolei yelled at Kari.

"Literally, I didn't. TK answered the phone."

Yolei stared.

"Well, TK and I talked, and we decided, why not make this one a surprise? We knew for the first one, let's do something different this time," Kari sipped her tea patiently.

"How can you do that?" Yolei demanded, "How can you know that there's a little person growing inside of you and not want to know what it is?"

"Who are you to talk? You don't know the gender of your baby yet."

"I know, and it's been the longest, most suspenseful seven months of my life. I don't want you to make the same mistake."

"I just thought that it would be fun if we didn't find out until the very end. TK and I made this decision, Yolei, and nothing you're about to say will change our minds."

Yolei sighed. "Okay, it's your funeral."

Nori came to the next obstetrician appointment because today was Ultrasound Day. He wanted to see what the baby looked like. He also wanted to see Dr. Greystone's pink hair. It would be funny to see a pink-haired lady. Unfortunately, the doctor's hair was back to its normal color.

"Mornin' chaps!" Dr. Greystone said chipperly, "Great day for an ultrasound, ain't it?"

"When isn't it a good day for an ultrasound?" TK wanted to know.

"A day when the power is out." Dr. Greystone studied Kari's charts. "Now, since you don't want to know what the gender of the baby is-"

"Excoose me!" Nori tugged slightly at Kari's shirt to get her attention. Kari glanced apologetically at Dr. Greystone and looked at her son. "What's 'gener?'" Nori asked.

"It means 'boy or girl.' Dr. Greystone is talking about how Daddy and I decided not to know whether the baby was a boy or a girl right now."

Nori looked pitifully up at his parents and quivered his bottom lip. "We don't know if it's a brover or sister?"

"Uh…" TK looked nervously at Kari, "No, not until the baby is born."

"B-but," Nori was on the verge of tears, "I wanna know!"

"Oh, honey!" Kari said sympathetically and picked up her son. "TK! We didn't even ask him!"

"Yeah. Poor little guy. He should have some say in it, don't you think?"

"Well, he is part of this family now. What do you say, Nori?"

"I wanna know." Nori sniffled.

"Well then," said Kari, "So do we."

Nori was instantly happier. "Yay!"

Dr. Greystone chuckled. "Kid sure knows how to throw his weight around. All right. Let's hook you up to the ultrasound."

Kari got on the table and Dr. Greystone put some gel on Kari's belly, to which Nori squealed, "Finger paint!" and took some with his finger to play with.

"Okay. Show me the baby!" Dr. Greystone tinkered with the knobs on the screen until things began to take shape. "There's the little bugger. Say hi to Mom and Dad!"

"See it, Nori? There's the head, and the feet," TK pointed out.

"Yeah! I see it! It's moving! Can you feel that, Mama?

"A little, but it's still pretty small."

"Is it a brover or a sister?" Nori asked Dr. Greystone.

"Are you sure you want to know what it is?" Dr. Greystone asked.

"Yes! Tell me!"

"Okay then. I think it's a boy."

"Aww… a boy!"

"A brover," Nori corrected.

"Gatomon won't be happy," Kari pointed out.

"But Tai will," TK replied, "Promise me, Kari, we can't cave!"

"Right. No matter how much he pleads, we can't name him Tai."

"Right."

"Wight!" Said Nori, who hated to be left out of anything.

Dr. Greystone continued on her routine checkup. "Well, my little chickadees, if that's all-" she said before she was interrupted by TK.

"Wait! That's not all! We forgot about…" He opened the office door and slipped out, "tradition!" and he went off to the drinking fountain.

"Well, he didn't leave because of you this time." Kari told Dr. Greystone.

"I know! I must be slacking! I'll see you next time."

"Goodbye, Dr. Greystone."
