He should be here any minute now. God, I hope he is not in a bad mood. Who am I kidding he is always in a bad mood. My phone rings for the thirteenth time today. Its Anna, she has been calling all day for some reason, but I know myself, if I answer I will tell her and I can't let Jared find out through her. Neither of us can hold a secret very well. Jared walks through the door at exactly five o'clock and I go to greet him. He hands me his suit jacket and walks over to the sofa to take his shoes off. His usual routine.

Usually he will shower then come out in his sweats to eat dinner, then head to the living room to watch television. On nights like this I don't even get an acknowledgement. Tonight, I plan on changing that. I have to tell him. After leaving the doctor's office a few hours ago I was able to tell the sex of the baby. Jared is going to be so happy it's a boy. We always wanted the boy first.
