"Who are we inviting?" Pete asked his husband, referring to the upcoming baby shower and gender reveal event that would take place on the same day. They had just finished making the invitations within a two-day timeframe and were now sitting in the living room, browsing for a cute party theme. The couple had decided to incorporate both blue and pink colors since it was a gender reveal party.

"Hmm, let's invite Dad, Macau, the entire extended family, your grandmother, and some of our close friends," Pete suggested. They had already spoken with Arm and Pol, who would personally hand out the invitations to Gunn and Macau, as they lived nearby. Pete looked at the list of invited individuals and realized that he only wanted his family and close friends to be present at the event. It seemed like everyone was already on the list. "I think we've invited everyone now," he replied.

"Okay then, the invitations are settled," Vegas confirmed.

"I still don't know the gender of our baby," Pete remarked. "Do you have any idea if it's a boy or a girl?"

Vegas, holding the invitation cards, shook his head. "Our doctor sent the results in a letter, and Kinn is the only one who knows the baby's gender. It will be a surprise."

"A mafia leader organizing a baby shower and gender reveal party... Maybe you should ask Porsche or Tankhun," Pete suggested, trying not to sound offensive. Kinn, his former boss, didn't seem like the type to organize such an event.

"We actually hired a party planner," Vegas clarified. "The person I spoke to that night is taking care of all the arrangements."

"Yes, it was strange receiving a call from him at that hour," Pete recalled. He had been suspicious at the time and had overthought it. Little did he know that Vegaas and Kinn were planning a surprise party for him and their unborn baby.

"We were in a hurry back then, so it's understandable," Vegas explained.

"But couldn't you have asked Porsche or Tankhun to organize the event instead?" Pete questioned.

"I'm not sure about Porsche. Remember when you told me about the party he organized at his club when he used to work as a bartender? It turned into a mess and chaos," Vegas reminded him.

Pete nodded, remembering the incident when they had all gotten drunk, including Kinn. During that time, Porsche had tried to kiss Pete while dreaming, and Pete had discovered that Porsche and Kinn had secretly been dating, as they shared a romantic kiss in front of the river that night.

"And about Tankhun, you know that my relationship with him is the worst," Vegas admitted.

"I mean, you guys have had better interactions than before," Pete countered.

"You don't know that. I can sense that he still hates me," Vegas insisted.
