Melanie thought for a moment and said, “I do have a nickname for the child.”
She parsed for a moment before replying, “Merry.”
Benry was taken aback. “So, you want to have a daughter?”
Melanie shook her head. “I’d be happy regardless if it’s a boy or a girl.”
Thouse mentioned before that she had a friend working at the hospital who could check the baby’s gender in advance. However, Melanie had declined the offer. She liked both boys and girls equally. She did not prefer one gender more than the other.
