babies
raze
they
had
this
thing
that
was
supposed
to
show
you
what
your
baby
would
look
like
.
kind
of
like
an
age
-progressed
photograph
bent
all
out
of
shape
.
for
a
small
fee
they'd
take
a
picture
of
you
and
one
of
your
partner
,
feed
it
into
a
computer
program,
and
based
on
your
combined
features
you'd
get
the
algorithm's
best
guess
at
what
your
kid
would
look
like
.
he
thought
the
whole
idea
was
pretty
dumb
.
she
thought
it
was
cute
.
"
come
on
honey,"
she
said
. "it'll
be
fun
."
so
they
took
his
picture
,
and
they
took
her
picture
,
and
they
gave
them
a
computer
printout.
she
stared
at
the
image
of
this
tiny
human
being
who
didn't
exist
,
who
didn't
look
like
him
or
her
,
who
was
real
enough
on
paper
but
somehow
not
right
,
with
a
face
that
looked
like
it
hadn't
yet
learned
what
emotion
was
and
might
never
learn
even
to
imitate
a
smile
or
a
scowl.
she
didn't
say
anything
for
the
rest
of
the
night
.
that
was
probably
the
beginning
of
the
end
of
them
right
there
.
