They had an appointment today, Reed and Sue and the baby. Today, in addition to Sue's regular check up, they would find out the sex of the baby. He had written it on every calendar and asked HERBIE to remind him throughout the day- not to mention Sue's own occasional reminders. Reed wasn't going to miss this. He was excited.
Reed was just shedding his lab coat and hanging it across the back of his chair when Maxine came in. "Miss Hunkel, of course." He said with a friendly smile, buttoning the top button of his shirt and popping his collar up as he dug through his desk drawer to liberate one of the spare ties he kept there, this one navy blue. "How can I help?" He asked, looping the tie around his neck, deftly tying it without even looking.
