What If

Every bit excited about being soon to be parents for the first time, Edward could not hesitate himself from harping on and on about stuff he can do together with the kids. From showering them with expensive toys to frequent holidays and fishing trips, irritating the hell out of Mummy, and the list goes on and on. Subconsciously however, Edward did not realise that every thought of his was under the assumption that the child growing inside of his dear wife was going to be a Boy.

Amanda was the more level headed one. She just prayed for good health irregardless of its sex. Being a fashionista herself, she however allowed her thoughts to stray toward dressing up the child, shopping trips, and making sure they look prettier than all her friends' kids. It was all thoughts drenched in the colour pink! Amanda secretly wanted a Girl.

"What if it's a girl Edward?", Amanda screeched Edward's thoughts to a halt. "Oh! What if it's a girl!? I've never thought about that!", Edward exclaimed with a sneer on his face. "Well if it's a girl, she will look as pretty as her mum. She will have a new dress everyday. She shall sit with me on my lap while I drive...well you know so that she can be a good lady driver! She will definitely not go out with boys until she is 21!", Edward answered in a flash.

"What if it's a boy Amanda?", Edward tried to test Amanda cheekily. "Well he shall be trained not be like his Dad for sure!", Amanda joked. "He shall not leave his toys lying all over the place, he shall not not be rude to other kids, he shall learn martial arts so that he can take care of his baby sister should he have one, he shall not touch my expensive Ming vases, and he shall not have crayons!!", Amanda exclaimed while visualising her son drawing on everywhere BUT a piece of paper.

"But he's a boy. Boys do all those stuff. They like to play in the mud, piss the hell out of parents, they like to beat and bully other kids. You know....guy stuff", Edward attempted to defend his cause. "Darling, what if he were to draw on your expensive Laura Ashley wallpapers?", Edward quizzed his wife.

"God No. Please I don't even want to think about it,"Amanda uttered in between laughs. "How could he? They cost a bomb and we went to London just to get those you know", Amanda reminded Edward on the perils of scouring and getting those wallpapers.

"Ya I know. But what if?", Edward really wanted to know. Well, I guess we can always create a frame around his Picasso drawings on the wall and we can call it Art!", Amanda conceded as the couple walked hand in hand into the Doctor's room.

They don't know it yet...but it's going to be Twins. Boy twins.
