"It's a girl! "
The doctor gushed, placing the wailing infant on the woman's chest.
She heaved trying to catch her breath in the aftermath of her gruelling labour. Tears of pain mingled briefly with tears of joy before dissolving into tears of sadness.

She kissed the pretty baby girl just the same she loved her she would just have deal with what they have to say. Come on its halfway his fault that we don't have a boy.
