It had been a couple weeks since Jackson almost told Kristina he was in love with her. His mind replayed the moment. He shook his head at the thought of Valerie interrupting.
It was time for their gender reveal party at the park, where their friends and family would join them. When Jackson arrived at the park, Sam and Molly already had everything set up.
"Did you guys do all of this yourself?" Jackson asked them as he glanced around at all the decorations.
"Indeed, we did." Molly told him with a chipper smile.
"Y'all make a great team." Jackson told them. "Is there anything you need help with?"
"I think we're all set." Sam assured. "Are you excited to find out the gender?" She asked her friend, trying to gage where he was at.
"Yeah!" Jackson spoke with a sincere smile, he was nervous but excited.
"What's your guess?" Molly asked him. "As much as I want a mini Davis girl, I think it's going to be a boy."
"I don't know- I'm happy with either one." Jackson replied. Deep down he feared having a boy at the thought of him turning out like his father.
"Kristina's sitting on the bench over there. She's excited but I think she's feeling a little tired today." Sam informed Jackson. He nodded and glanced over at his ex before making his way toward her.
"You feeling okay?" Jackson asked her, seeing that she was sitting alone.
"I'm just a little tired is all." She told him honestly, "But I'm excited to find out what our baby's gender is!" She cheered.
"What are you hoping for?" Jackson asked her with a smile as he took a seat next to her.
"To be honest, I want a girl but I see myself being a boy mom. So I'm not sure." She explained her feelings on it. "You?" She asked wondering what he was thinking.
"I'm scared that if we have a boy, he's going to turn out to be just like me." Jackson spoke truthfully.
"Jackson." Kristina looked at him with sad eyes, turning towards him, "That's not true."
"I'm going to do my very best to make sure of it." He assured, looking into her eyes.
"It's time for the gender reveal!" Molly hollered for everyone to gather. A group of mostly Kristina family and extended family gathered around. Molly handed them both a confetti cannon. Kristina briefly glanced at her girlfriend in the crowd who had her phone out ready to record.
Jackson and Kristina stood in front of the group. They looked at each other, counting down when to shoot their confetti in sync.
"Three. Two. One." The crowd chanted with them.
They shot their canons together, revealing an array of blue confetti. "It's a boy!" The crowd celebrated.
"It's a boy." Jackson and Kristina muttered to each other. Kristina had a big smile on her face as she pulled him into a hug. She held it slightly longer, knowing he was feeling a mixture of emotions. "This is good news, Jackson." She assured him before turning to celebrate with everyone.

Kristina was entered her third trimester of pregnancy at week 28. She was meeting Jackson at the hospital for her doctor's appointment. She couldn't believe how big their baby was getting and how she was already in her third trimester. Jackson met her in the hospital room as they awaited the doctor's arrival.
"Hey, how are you feeling today?" Jackson greeted her with a smile.
"I'm doing good. I can't believe I'm already in my third trimester." Kristina expressed as she sat on the exam bed and felt her stomach.
