Dru Brown
Today is Gender Reveal Day. Ky and I get to know the gender of our first born, and I am so excited. I decided to throw a surprise gender reveal for us today. Wednesday, I asked the doctor to email Jaliyah or Kolby the results so that they could reveal the gender. We wanted a simple blue and pink decorated party with a firework show to reveal what we were having. I been feeling guilty lately for cheating on Kyah. I wanted to tell her about what happened between me and Haylee but I just couldn't.. I set up this spa day for her today, while we decorate and got everything ready for the party later. While she was out enjoying herself and getting pampered, everyone was here setting everything up. Kolby was still recovering so he watched ESPN and played the game majority of the day. Kenneth and Keisha were back for the weekend and Taylor and Dania here helping too. Even my mom and Dream was over here. We had a talk about the whole Haylee invited to dinner thing and she apologized. We'll see how she does, since she says she'll do better with getting to know Ky more. We all were cooking and decorating when I got a phone call.

" You have a collect call from .. Druzel Brown" I heard my dad say, " Would you like to accept the charges?" the operator said

My heart dropped. I haven't talk to my father since I was about 5 years old. First of all, how did this man get my number? I didn't know much about him but that he went to prison for killing someone. I accepted the charges and stepped outside to see what he wanted.

" Hello?" he said

" How did you get my number?"

" I do have eyes outside of these walls son. I just called to check on you."

" You've been gone for almost 13 years, you've never called and checked on me so why now?"

" Dru, I being released in March. I wanted you to know out of my own mouth. I love you son, I didn't mean to hurt you."

I sat on the phone in silence. RELEASED? HE LOVES ME? I wasn't tryna listen to none of the bullshit he was talking about. The same way he called today, he could've called over the past 13 years. I zoned back in and realized this man was still talking.

" Look, thanks for telling me you getting out but that ain't got shit to do with me. I'm focusing on football and my own personal life right now. I don't need anything negative going on right now. I'm good."

I hung up the phone and started back decorating. I wasn't letting that shit ruin my day, today was exciting. I checked the time and it was 3:00, meaning Kyah will be home soon. The decorations were set and food was almost ready. I can't wait to find out the gender of my seed.

Kyah Richardson
My man spoiled me today okay? I had the best massage today that was very needed, got a good mani and pedi, went shopping, and got a nice brazillan wax too. I pulled up to the house to see alot of cars outside. What's going on? With everything bad that's been going on lately, zi panicked. I tipped my Uber driver and quickly ran to the door. I unlocked the door with my key, and to my surprise everyone was here because it was my gender reveal that I knew nothing about LMAO. Dru out did himself baby. I love my man. The house was filled with pink and blue decorations, family and friends, and most importantly food! I walked around and hugged everyone, even Andrea. The clothes that I had on started to get uncomfortable so I walked upstairs to change. I simply changed into a simple white dress and my clear slides and headed back down stairs.

" Surprise baby girl" Dru walked up to me and said

" Dru you did all of this?"

" Yeah, with a bit of help. But just to clarify I don't know the gender."

We both laughed and I went to join everyone eating and dancing. This made me emotional in both a good and bad way. Seeing everyone I love around smiling and having a good time even after what we've been through the past few months was a blessing. But someone was missing, my mom. I started to feel tears rushing down my face so I quickly got up and ran outside into the backyard. I sat in one the patio chairs and cried my eyes out until my dad came outside to see what was wrong.

" You okay baby? Everyone is worried about you inside."

" I just miss mom. I wish she was here to witness all of this."

" I miss her too baby, everyday. She's always here with us watching down. She's so proud of you Kyah. And she loves you okay?"

I nodded my head as my dad wiped the tears from my eyes and gave me a big hug. He helped me up from the patio chair and we went back inside. Everyone was still partying and dancing until Jaliyah and Asia made an announcement that it was time for the reveal. We all walked outside into the backyard as Dru came over and kissed me on the forehead. We stood infront of everyone anxious to find out what our baby would be. There was a TV screen next to us that had cute little animations and a countdown.

" 5 4 3 2 1 " everyone said

The fireworks began and the sky was filled with blue lights. Everyone screamed and celebrated with excitement. Even though I wasn't having my baby girl this go round I was still happy and blessed to be having a healthy baby boy.

" I told you " Dru said wrapping his arms around my waist and looking at me with those pretty dark brown eyes.

I playfully rolled my eyes and pecked his lips as we all watched the remainder of the firework show. We got our baby boy.
