Me and Pedri didn't want to do anything big when finding out the gender of our baby, but the sound of our friends everyday in our ears kind of made that not happen.
Bruna, Ela, Caro, Rafella, Luca, Neymar, Kylian and Gavi took control of the situation and decided to plan a gender reveal party.
A gender reveal party that was happening today.
'What do you think the gender is?' Pedri asked me.
'I don't know.' I shrugged my shoulders. 'And I honestly don't really care as long as its healthy and well.' I rubbed my belly with a smile.
Truth is, I wanted it to be a boy while Pedri was dying for a little girl running around the house.

Me and Pedri were on our way to the location, ready to meet with our friends and family.
'Mum!' I said as soon as I saw her.
She wrapped her arms around me gently while I buried my head into her neck.
'Oh, my baby.' she said softly.
'Where's Patricia?' I asked her as soon as we broke off the hug.
'Where the food is.' she chuckled.
She then grabbed Pedri into a hug and whispered something I couldn't make out.
We chatted for a while, Pedri's parents also joining us, making me smile at the sight of our parents getting along.

After greeting most of the guests, I finally spotted my little sister. Pedri was caught up into a conversation with Raphinha, so I excused myself and started walking towards her.
'You're meant to be here for me, not the food.' I chuckled, making her turn around to face me.
'Oh, I'm not here for the food either.' she smiled. 'I'm here for all these sexy footballers.' she winked and then gently wrapped her arms around me. 'How are you feeling?' she asked me as soon as she broke off the hug.
'I'm good, excited.' I smiled.
'Hey, hey, hey.' Luca said, throwing an arm around my shoulders. 'Oh, look who's here.' he said pushing my sister playfully.
Patricia has met most of them back when I was living in Paris and got on like a house on fire.
'I bet you wish that baby was yours.' she chuckled, pointing at my belly.
'Patricia!' I widened my eyes at her, chuckling.
'And how do you know that baby isn't mine.' he leaned over to her, whispering.
'Because she wouldn't risk having an ugly baby.' she smiled triumphantly.
'I see where she gets it from.' Kylian said appearing from somewhere behind Patricia and throwing an arm around her.
She widened her eyes and looked at me, making me laugh.
'Someone has a little crush.' Luca said in a childlike voice and bopped her nose.
'Shut up.' she frowned her eyebrows at him.
'Don't worry, I have a crush too.' Kylian chuckled, making Patricia's cheeks instantly turn red.
'You two, stop tormenting my sister.' I rolled my eyes.

After chatting a little bit more with Gavi and Ela and telling them how much I appreciate them, I walked over to Rafaella.
