'the correct food colouring, chocolate chips, multi-coloured sprinkles,' 𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐱𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐚 𝐜𝐨𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫 read down the long list of required ingredients in front of her, 'otherwise i think we have everything else.'

alexandria's best friend 𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐚 𝐯𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐲 had recently announced that she was pregnant, and due to her reputation as one of the best cake makers known to man (her boyfriend 𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨 𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐚𝐨's words), alexandria had been placed in charge of preparing the cake for the gender reveal.

she couldn't help feeling a little smug, as she glanced at the piece of paper on the counter that contained the baby's gender. there was something special about being the only one to know such important information, even if only for a short while.

'i'm just heading to the supermarket, babe.' she called to francisco, 'do you need anything?'

'no, i'm good thanks.' he called back, 'see you in a bit.'

alexandria returned home about half an hour later to a very shaken francisco.

'alex, what is this?' he asked, holding up the paper she had left on the table.

'that's the baby's gender.' alex responded, beginning to unpack the few groceries she'd picked up for the cake.

'you...you're pregnant?' Francisco stammered, looking very alarmed, 'why didn't you tell me sooner? how long have you known?'

alexandria stared at him for a moment, completely baffled, before she realised.

'no, you idiot!' she burst out laughing, 'that's the gender of elisa's baby, i told you i'm baking the gender reveal cake for her. i'm not pregnant and i think you'd know if i was.'

francisco laughed, relieved, 'damn, i was scared,' he checked the paper again, 'so it looks like elisa's having a little-'

'nope, don't say it!' elisa cut him off with a kiss, 'it's a secret.'

'yeah, and who's here to spill it?' francisco raised an eyebrow, 'pepper?' he motioned towards the girl's cat, who was napping in a patch of hazy sunlight.

'hey, you know that he likes to gossip!' alex giggled, 'now, do you want to bake this cake with me?'

'yes please!' francisco replied, 'i mean, i am the master baker among us.'

'of course you are.' alex responded, only a hint of sarcasm in her voice.

the next day

'the moment of truth.' alex whispered, watching as elisa cut into the cake. it was decorated with rainbow icing, and the colour of the insides would only be revealed when the slice was pulled out.

'i'm so excited.' francisco whispered back, placing his arm around alex's waist and pulling her gently into his side.

'it's a...'

elisa gently pulled out the slice, revealing bright pink cake inside.

'girl!'

'she'd better call it alexandria.' francisco giggled, as the couple stepped back to watch the uproarious reactions.

'you never know.' alex murmured, 'that could be us soon...'

francisco remembered the scare the day before, 'i hope not for a while!'
