Chapter 8 - WHY RYAN KNEW IT WAS A BOY

I asked the hospital for prenatal records.
Ryan had accompanied me to some appointments.
Our twenty-week anatomy scan documented fetal sex.
I had told the technician:
“Don’t tell us.”
She placed it in the chart.
Patients can later view results.
Ryan had portal proxy access.
I gave it to him early in pregnancy so he could track appointments.
He opened the result.
Timestamp:
Six weeks earlier.
He knew.
Did that matter legally?
Probably not.
Emotionally?
Yes.
He had taken something I believed we were choosing together.
Then not told me.
Small theft.
That was Ryan.
He rarely started with doors being blocked.
He started with:
I already checked.
I already called.
I handled it.

I know what makes sense.
