Terri doesn't wanna know the sex of the baby

Terri looks up from her book as Emma walks into the living room, eating a bowl of ice-cream. Terri's eyes stray to Emma's now prominent baby bump. Emma catches her eye and smiles, walking over to where Terri is lying on the couch.

“Want some?” she asks, holding up a spoonful.

Terri raises an eyebrow

“Really? The last time I stole a fry from your plate you almost broke my wrist," she says, eyeing the spoon warily.

Emma rolls her eyes and holds the spoon up to Terri's lips.

"I was a little cranky that day," she says, her lower lip sticking out slightly.

Terri takes hold of Emma's wrist and accepts the offered mouthful. She tugs gently on Emma's arm and she leans down for a brief kiss.

"Your lips are cold!" Terri says. "And you're allowed to be cranky, you're pregnant."

Emma smiles and turns to sit down next to Terri but Terri stops her.

"Wait!"

Emma looks over at her, confused. Terri stands up and gets behind Emma and starts running her hands over her belly. Both sides, on top, underneath; Emma almost feels like she's being measured for something.

"Sweetie...what are you doing?" she asks, leaning back into Terri anyway and continuing to eat her ice cream.

"Nothing," Terri says, quickly. "So...would you say your bump is more to the front, or sitting low?"

Emma smiles and shakes her head.

"Terri, we don't need to resort to old wives tales," she says, turning to place a cold kiss on Terri's cheek. "I know what the baby is."

Terri sighs.

"I know you know," she says, the pout clear in her voice.

"You could know too," Emma says gently. "You said you didn't want to."

"I know I did. And I don't. I want to be surprised," Terri says, leaning her chin on Emma's shoulder, swaying her back and forth slightly.

"You hate surprises," Emma says, reasonably.

"Well, I don't like big surprises. Like, I'd hate it if you had a baby without telling me we were expecting one," Terri says. "But I think I can handle this."

Emma refrains from mentioning how Terri searches the house every year before her birthday and Christmas because she can't bear the suspense. Emma sighs, putting her bowl on the coffee table and turning in Terri's arms. She smiles at her wife, loving the feel of Terri's arms around her with her bump between the two of them.

"Okay, I wasn't sure whether to tell you this or not," she begins, but Terri cuts her off.

"No! I don't wanna know!" she practically yells.

"No, I'm not going to tell you," Emma protests. "I just want to let you know that I've written down what the baby is on a piece of paper which is in an envelope in my underwear drawer. If you want to look, that's completely up to you. You don't have to tell me you've looked and I won't ask you. Fair?"

Terri frowns.

"Well, that's really going to test my willpower," she says, rubbing Emma's back.

"Which is better than you testing my patience with your constant attempts to guess," Emma says, drawing Terri in for a kiss.

Later, Emma comes out of the bathroom and climbs into bed, snuggling into Terri who's already there. She stretches her neck up for a kiss.

"'Night honey," Emma says.

"Yeah, 'night," Terri replies, reaching over to switch off the lamp next to the bed.

They lie in silence for a few moments, Emma's just about to drift off.

"So...I was thinking," Terri says, into the darkness. "We should go out tomorrow and buy some pink paint for the nursery."

Emma smirks.

"When did you look?" she asks.

“When you were in the bathroom,” Terri admits.

“You lasted longer than I expected,” Emma says, turning to press a kiss to Terri’s chest.

Terri scoots down the bed and rubs Emma’s baby bump, dropping a kiss on it. Emma’s hand comes up to run through her hair.

“Hey there little girl, I’m your Mama.”
