Worry

Gin spends the entire evening thinking up names. He likes to play with the characters of their own names to come up with suggestions, but she wishes he wouldn't rush.

"I don't think we should get so excited," says Ren. "Anything could happen."

Gin shakes his head. "It's gonna be fine, Ren. The baby's gonna be okay. We're gonna be great."

She knows he will be, but she's more worried about herself. What if this baby is not meant to be? What if she loses it? What is the point of all this excitement?

"And if we're not?"

"We will."
