My husband Daniel had just wrapped an arm around my shoulders and said the words we’d both been dying to say.
“We’re having a boy.”
There was cheering, laughter, someone popping a bottle of sparkling cider, my mother wiping tears from her eyes.
For about ten minutes, everything felt normal.
And then my sister cornered me.
Her name is Lena.
She grabbed my arm near the sink so suddenly that I almost dropped my plate.
“You’re going to give him to me,” she said.
