She nodded and put the carton of strawberries back in the fridge before picking up Neil. "Ready to see your new sibling?" She asked. "Yeah!" Neil exclaimed.

"I can't wait to meet them, either!" Steve said, sharing Neil's enthusiasm.

Back at the doctor's, Neil was sitting in his father's lap while Fallon lied down on the exam bed, rubbing her noticeably pregnant belly thoughtfully.

Steve struggled to sit still as he, too was very excited to meet the baby. He wondered if it was another boy or if they were going to have a girl.

The OBGYN came in and started her exam. Neil watched the screen, feeling very confused by the black and white screen. A warbled sound soon filled the room as a figure appeared on screen. Fallon smiled at the sight; there's the baby!

"Ooh! Look at 'em! The baby looks like it's sleeping." Steve said.

"Neil, that's your sibling!" Fallon exclaimed, pointing at the monitor. The toddler still looked confused. "But baby is here!" He said, accidentally patting Fallon's belly and getting the gel on his hand. He pulled his hand back and made a weird face at it, making Fallon giggle.

"No,no! On the screen, there!"
Steve chuckled a little. "Yes, the baby is right there inside Mommy's tummy."

The toddler was still confused while the doctor gave Steve a tissue so he could wipe the gel of Neil's hand. "You'll be able to see the baby in five more months." Fallon explained to Neil.

At five months, Steve and Fallon had a baby shower with a gender reveal cake like last time. Fallon's parents and brother were able to fly out to England and so was Lei and Elise with their children.

Lei arrived along with Elise and all of their children.
Li-Mei looked up at Lei. "I didn't know that you can figure out what the baby is before they're born!"
"Yes. You certainly can. I don't recommend it, though."
Shenlong stuck to his mother as Bailong was running around with his toy as Shun tried to entertain him.
Elise sat down in her chair, enjoying this peaceful moment to herself as she sat Shenlong down in her lap.
"How's flight?" Steve asked Lei.
"It was fine. We were also going to go see Katya, too, in Ireland." Lei replied. He sounded more tired than usual.

Neil started chasing Bailong while Fallon sat on the couch, rubbing her stomach; her shirt said "Pregnant AF" which suited her perfectly. She was tired today, but excited to learn the gender of her baby since she and Steve weren't told what it was.

Lei noticed Steve and Fallon's shirt. "That's kinda bold of you to wear something like that, especially with kids around. But they aren't going to get the joke."
"Are you going to have a girl, Mrs. Fox?" Li-Mei asked Fallon. "Did you see an oracle?"
Li-Mei couldn't read in English yet. So she didn't see the shirt.

Fallon smiled at Li-Mei. "I haven't seen an oracle, but I can use a trick that my mother used when I was pregnant with Neil." She was referring to the ring moving in a circle when she held it over her stomach while it was dangling on a string. "Want to see what the trick says?"
