“Youto ask I can see it in her eyes Feel it in her lips as they press againstback a wave of emotions
“Yep, I saw the doctor yesterday, and I couldn’t wait another seven month to find out like we did with this little man,” she tells me
“Why didn’t you…?” I try to ask, but she only shrugs
“I wanted to give you a surprise for a change, Brandon,” she says, her voice cracking with emotion
“All this, everything we have It’s all because of you I just wanted to have one surprise, soe”
