part 8 | gender reveal

2 days later...

Dixie's POV-

I woke up to a very weird feeling in my stomach.. almost like I wanted to throw up, but not at the same time. I squirmed around under the covers trying my best to not wake Noah, but my quiet whines soon got louder every time I moved.

Noah's POV-

I heard faint whines coming from a little voice on the other side of the bed. I instantly shot up and saw Dixie on the verge of tears while holding her stomach. "Make it stop, make it stop please!" she cried out. "Oh my love what's wrong, what happened?" I asked, holding her body close to mine. "M-My stomach feels rlly weird rn a-and I feel like somethings w-wrong" she said in a worried tone. "Shh calm down baby, everything's ok" I told her as I kept repeating the word "shhh" which calmed her down. "Do you want me to massage your tummy for you?" I asked turning over on my side to face her. "Please?" She responded.

I placed my hand on the side of her stomach and slowly started moving it around in circular motions.. just enough pressure to have Dixie close her eyes and let out a little smile. I stopped after a few seconds as I felt something move under my hand. "D-Dixie did the baby just kick?!?" I whisper yelled. She looked me right in the eyes with the happiest look on her face. "O-Oh my god Noah, the baby just kicked for the first time!!" She said sounding speechless. I took Dixie's hand and placed it right where mine was, holding it lightly. "Ah omg again!" She said. "Awe Dix that's our baby telling us they love us" I told her making a little puppy face. "This is perfect timing because....." she looked over at the clock on the bedside table "It's 3:24am and the gender reveal is today!" Dixie exclaimed. "It is!! Which means that you 2 need rest, so go back to sleep!" I told her laying down and kissing her forehead. "I love youuuu" she said.. "more than ever" I replied.

the following day...

Dixie's POV-

Today is the gender reveal!! Today is the day Noah and I finally get to find out if we're gonna have a little prince or princess joining our family. Noah is really set on a girl.. but I honestly feel like it's a boy. I guess moms just have that instinct right? Charli and my best friend Kate are coming over to set up for the little party later this afternoon. We only invited a small handful of our friends along with family.

Kate texted me that she was on her way, and Charli was already here this morning as she brought Cali back from my parents rental home here in NYC. "Sooo Dixie, are you excited for today?!" Charli asked while walking over to the kitchen island. "Oh my god Charli, you have no idea how excited I am" I replied. "I really hope you like the party.. Kate and I are sooo excited and it's even better when we know the gender" she said while giggling. "Wait I totally forgot you guys know now omg" I said honestly forgetting that Noah gave them the envelope a couple days ago.

Kate made her way through the door a couple minutes later with some last minute decorations. They obviously didn't need to be kept a secret because she threw them on the island right in front of me. "Alrighty Dix!! So Charli and I are gonna need you and Noah to head out for about an hour while we set everything up.. but make sure to be back by 2 ok?" Kate told me while grabbing a pair of kitchen scissors from the utensil drawer. "Sounds like an easy task" Noah said walking into the kitchen. "Hah yes super easy but I know it'll be tempting, so go out and buy some clothes or something" Kate told the both of us. "For me? Or the baby?" I asked. "Well you're having a baby in like 3 months and I don't think they have any clothes yet so yeah! She laughed and so did Noah and I.

"Anyways we'll see you guys in a bit!" I said walking towards the front door. Noah and I decided to go to some baby stores to get basic clothing like white onesies, socks, and some other little necessities. Once we find out the gender and finalize the name.. I'd like to get the name embroidered on a blanket for the baby, which Noah thought was a sweet idea. I think we have our girl name picked out, but we're stuck between 2 for a boy.. I'm glad we still have lots of time.
