“Ryder’s in jeans and his shirt from last night, and he’s staring at the fridge. When I pad closer, I see he’s not just staring at the door. I’ve hung my various ultrasound pictures to the silvery surface, and he’s studying them. His index finger is poised over my recent twenty-week one, and he’s tracing the outline of the baby’s legs.

“Hi,” I say, clearing my throat.

He straightens and then smiles. It’s a sheepish look, as if he’s been caught. “Just checking out Papaya.”

I love that the name Papaya has stuck. That must be a sign he feels the same. I gesture to the thirteen-week picture, when I first heard the heartbeat. “I think Papaya was a fig in that one. Funny thing—when I was so sick, Papaya was only a kidney bean.”

“Kidney beans are known to be troublemakers.” He steps closer, drops a strangely chaste kiss to my forehead, and sets his hands on my belly. “And I think Papaya is almost a mango now, right?”

I nod. “How did you know?”

“I might have googled pregnancy-to-fruit comparisons. Papaya will be an eggplant in a little while.”

I blink. Holy shit. He really knows his pregnancy fruits. Better than I do.”
