Breathing Again

It's a...!

Rob's POV:

We just parked the car after today's checkup/ultrasound. Kristen was a little down because her gynecologist couldn't figure out the gender yet, even though she was 14 weeks pregnant by now. She was kind of wishing for a boy while I tended to hope for a girl and we were so eager to finally find out. "Hey" I said, stroking her cheek. "We're gonna find out eventually, baby. Let's just schedule an additional appointment for next week, ok?" She nodded, the disappointment still glued to her face. I took her hand and pulled her to me, by now her belly got notably in the way when we hugged. I got down to kiss her bump. "Come on, let's go inside and order some dinner, are you still craving orange chicken?" I asked, looking for my keys. "That sounds great" She said while I unlocked the door.

"SURPRISE" We were greeted by about 20 friends who were all jumping out once we opened the door. All of them were wearing blue and there was a huge "It's a boy" sign on the wall. "Oh my God!!!!" We screamed at the same time, and Kristen jumped into my arms. "Wait, how do you guys know that?"
"I've had a little phone call with your doc, babycakes" Suzie said. Kristen looked at me, tears were welling up in her eyes. "We're gonna have a baby-Rob" She cooed. I smiled at her. "I can't wait to meet him, love." I said, and our lips found each other. Everyone was clapping and/or 'awe-ing' while we kissed. We let go of each other when someone shouted "get a room", blushing. Then we just enjoyed this gender reveal party / baby shower, happy to have such good friends who were celebrating with us.
