My wife and I are expecting the birth of our second child. We chose not to have the sex of the baby revealed, and for a good reason. We believe that the child is a miracle from heaven, and that it is sacrilege to use modern evil technology to find out whether your child is in the likeness of man or woman. There is one problem. We are both caucasian. Our daughter, Latoya, is African American. You can imagine the surprise I received when it was revealed during the birth. I love Latoya beyond belief, and am curious about why God chose us to be the parents of what is obviously a miracle. My wife has already chosen the name of our new baby if it is a boy or girl. If it is a boy, she wants to name him Cosby, and if it is a girl, she likes the name Halle. What is up with this? My wife works as a graphic artist for a rap magazine, and her employer is always coming around the house at all hours of the night looking to have conversations about page layout with her. She is very dedicated to her job obviously, but it is slightly annoying. I dislike it. He always brings alcohol as well, like Cristal champagne, and donuts. I've even caught him kissing my wife's belly, and also calling her "shorty". My wife is a robust woman, who stands a full 5"9, so you can understand that she is in fact no "shorty".

I have my suspicions about her working at the rap magazine.

What do I do?
