“Okay, just wanted to be certain. I know one of you knows how to read these.” He chuckled. “Wanted to make sure it was going to be fair to everyone,” he said, winking at Bella.
I felt her grip on my hand as he moved the wand around a little more, no doubt applying a little pressure. “Okay, well, everything is looking good. I am almost certain that it’s a girl.”
Bella looked up at me, her eyes shining with tears. I leaned down and kissed her forehead while Alonzo passed her a small towel.
“I’m just going to give you guys a few moments,” he said, quietly getting up from the stool and leaving the room.
“Are you happy?” Bella asked once the door was closed.
I smiled at her, nodded my head, bent down, and met her lips. “Very,” I whispered. “What about you?”
“Very… and nervous.”
“No need to be. I’m here,” I said, wrapping my arms around her. “I’m not going anywhere. I’m here.”
