AXEL: I put my bag on the chair. "Peanut?" Panic gripped my heart. "Cassie!" "I'm out here!" I sighed in relief. Putting my jacket in the chair, I removed my shoes and ran outside. I ran across the sand towards the sea. Cassie turned around. I settled next to her and kissed the bump on her stomach. "How are you feeling?" "Great. I'm fat!" "Okay. How was the appointment?" "Good. Everything's fine. Actually the gender of the child can be found now." "I don't care if it's a girl or a boy. In fact I'd love to have girl who is brave-hearted and strong like you." "Hmm. I decided that I wanted it to be a surprise for us." "If we do have a daughter she'll be tougher than all the boys around." "You're really hoping for a girl?" "Yeah so she can be Daddy's Girl." "Not Mommy's Girl." "I don't mean that." She giggled. "I'm kidding. You're gonna be a really good daddy." "I want to give her all the love I can." "No love for me?" "My entire heart belongs to you. What else do you want?" "A kiss." "Anything for you." I pulled her into a long lingering kiss." "Zephyr." "What?" "Her name." Cassie laughed loudly at me. "And why should it be Zephyr, dear husband?" "Our names start from A. Let her name start from Z." "Fine." She ruffled my hair. I hugged her. "Come on, let's get inside. It's getting cold." "Hmm." I helped her get up and kept my hand on her waist. "This is the perfect future I could imagine of."
