Secret Blessings

"Sweets, how can you say you don't want our son?" argued Darren. "Parents should always accept their kids even with their flaws. After all, it's not like we as parents are without any flaws. So, we should not expect our kids to be perfect either. We should just accept them as they are."

Xiu narrowed her eyes at her husband who seemed to be preaching words of wisdom at the moment. It seemed those parenting books were really getting to him. 

"The least I'm asking of him is to have the same eyes like my husband. Is it too much to ask for?" Xiu retorted. 

Darren looked at her helplessly, "But that's something not in our control. And neither can our son control it. Besides, I think he'd look just as awesome with your eyes."

Xiu shook her head, "No! He has to have grey eyes."

While Darren rubbed his forehead, Nora was tired of watching them bicker over this.
