Sima Yi and Zhang Chunhua: Cao Cao! It's Lord Cao Cao!

Cao Cao: Hello, you young scamps. Nice to see you've left the camp still standing. Ah, there you are, my love.

Bian Yuexiang: Darling, you're back! Did it all go well?

Cao Cao: Well enough, under the circumstances. But enough about the empire's mess, how are you? How's the little one?

Bian Yuexiang: Oof...a bit lively, honestly. But Hua Tuo says that's a good sign.

Sima Yi: Miss Bian says it's four-and-a-half months old! Does that mean it'll be coming out soon?! Does it?! Does it?!

Zhang Chunhua: No, stupid! It's only halfway there! A baby spends nine months in the mother's belly before it's born, everyone knows that!

Bian Yuexiang: Well, actually, little Chunhua, it can be anywhere between twenty-five or forty weeks, Cai Wenji told me. Still, all signs say it's going to be fine.

Cao Cao: Let me just feel...(Places a hand on her womb) Oh, there it is. A strong, healthy heart. Certainly is lively. And yet, so small...

Bian Yuexiang: You try carrying it around inside you, love. Whole different story...Heh...

Sima Yi: It's a boy, I know it is! There are clear signs.

Cao Cao: Oh, are there? You're an expert, are you?

Sima Yi: Course I am! My mum showed the same signs as Miss Bian's showing now and she's only had boys.

Bian Yuexiang: I think if anyone knew, it'd be me, little Yi. And I still can't be certain.

Sima Yi: Well, I still think it'll be a big, strong boy and I bet he'll grow up to be as strong and smart and cunning as his dad!

Zhang Chunhua: No! You're so stupid, Sima Yi! It'll be a girl! I know that for certain. It'll be a lovely baby girl and she'll grow up to be as wise and kind and beautiful as her mother!

Sima Yi: You don't know anything! It's a boy, there are clear signs, you wouldn't know them!

Zhang Chunhua: There aren't any stupid signs, Yi! You're just showing off, as usual! It's a girl, no doubt about it!

Sima Yi: Boy!

Zhang Chunhua: Girl!

Sima Yi: Boy!!!

Zhang Chunhua: Girl!!!

Cao Cao: Hey, hey, that's enough.

Bian Yuexiang: Children, please, don't fight. The baby will hear, you'll upset it.

Zhang Chunhua: ...sorry, miss.

Cao Cao: Now, don't either of you worry. Whether it's a girl or a boy, it'll be our child and we'll give it all the love in the world.

Sima Yi: When it's out, can I teach it how to use a slingshot?

Zhang Chunhua: No! That's stupid! That's a bad habit and if you teach the baby bad habits, it'll grow up to be mean and disrespectful! And if the baby grows up to be mean and disrespectful, it'll be an...um...what did Cai Wenji say about Emperor Ling...oh yeah, an 'inadequate inheritor'. And if the baby's an inadequate inheritor, the land will be doomed. And if the land's doomed...I'll pinch you!

Cao Cao: I fear our little one's going to have quite an unusual pair of guardians, darling.

Bian Yuexiang: Well, with us for parents, life in general will be unusual...wonderful, but unusual.
