A neatly wrapped gift. His fingers felt numb as he opened it. And then-his world tilted. His face drained of color as he stared at the contents.
An ultrasound report. His voice cout in a strangled gasp. "You're... pregnant?" Tracy's eyes twinkled with unmistakable delight. She clasped her hands together, swaying slightly. "Take a good look. Our baby is growing strong and healthy." "I don't know yet if it's a boy or a girl, but with our resources, we can provide for either, can't we?"
