A/N Y'all I am so sorry for leaving this unfinished for like two or three years. Life happened and is still happening and well you get the gist. Anyway, here's the update y'all requested... Also, I time traveled in this chapter because well, I have no idea where I was going with this originally and I knew the only way I'd be able to update it was to time jump and have her be further along in the pregnancy. Also this chapter is in Lucy's POV.
It had been almost 6 months since we were able to come home from the safe house and we found out about my pregnancy. I was huge, I felt like a beached whale but from what Lopez had told me, she didn't feel like a beached whale until she hit 8 months, Harper told me it had been the same for her with both girls. Tamara had moved out of our house and moved in with her boyfriend Austin Geoffreys, who she met at the DA's office.
I was changing into a cute outfit, as Lopez, Harper, Tamara, Luna, Lyla, and Leah had all helped throw together a gender/baby reveal party for us and I say baby reveal because Tim and I hadn't actually had an ultrasound until last week and we were blindfolded by Tamara, who also asked that the tech not use a doppler or sound, so we couldn't hear the heartbeat. I was wearing this maternity maxi dress (pic at the beginning of the chapter.) and was struggling to get my shoes on when Tim walked in and helped me put my shoes on and we left the house and headed to the party. "Tim, I feel like we might be really surprised by what we find out today. I just feel like I'm a lot bigger than I should be at this stage of the game." "Everything will be fine no matter what happens. As long as all of us are healthy that's all that really matters." He replied. She nodded as he pulled into the venue and parked. He helped her out of the truck and they walked into the private section of the restaurant and out to the back where there was a deck that looked out over a patio and a large grassy area.
"Hey guys! Welcome!" Tamara said. "They're here!" She yelled to someone. "You can go down the stairs right there to the patio, there's a seat for you down there Luce." They nodded and walked down the stairs and found a beautifully decorated baby shower/gender reveal/baby reveal. "Guys, you did such a great job! It's beautiful. Thank you." Lucy told all of them as she sat down in front of everyone.
"Alright. We have a few things planned. We have a couple of games and then we'll eat before Lucy opens gifts and then we'll do the reveals." Luna said.
They played some cute little baby shower games after placing orders for their food and when they were done with the games the food arrived and they all ate. Lucy had a veggie burger with sweet potato fries and extra pickles, Tim had a regular cheese burger with regular fries. After they had all finished eating, Tamara stood up and cleared her throat. "Alright it's time for gifts and then the reveals." Tamara handed Lucy gifts. Luna and Grey got them a bottle gift set and a high chair, Wesley and Angela got them a bunch of boxes of diapers and wipes and a breast pump gift set, Nyla, James, and the girls got them a pack n play and a baby monitor set, Tamara got them a baby swing, a boppy pillow, a bottle warmer, a bottle sterilizer, a diaper genie, a bathtub, a bathtime gift set with Johnson and Johnson Baby Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and she stuck a tub of Boudreaux's Butt Paste in the basket too, and she made them a mobile, Austin got them a changing pad, changing pad covers, crib sheets, a stroller, and a car seat. "Thank you guys! We'll use all of this stuff all the time." "We'll have another more formal shower later closer to when you're due." Luna said. Tamara had Tim take all the gifts to his truck while they gave Lucy a mommy gift. "We all chipped in to get you a big basket of items for you. We got you belly butter, bath salts, nipple butter, and a whole lot of other stuff just for you." Lucy hugged her and sat back down just as Tim came back. "Are we ready to do some revealing?" Lopez asked. Lucy and Tim stood up and a box was placed on the ground, in front of Tim. "So this is the baby reveal. The number of balloons in the box in front of Tim is going to reveal if you're having a baby or babies." Lucy and Tim looked at each other. Tim picked the box up and put it on the table so Lucy could open it with him. They both opened it together and two balloons flew out. "We're having twins?!" Tim exclaimed. "Oh my God!" Lucy yelled. "Hold on we still have to do the gender reveal." Tamara yelled. She placed two cakes on the table and handed Tim a cup and Lucy a cup. "Alright, you're going to put the cup in the cake and then pull it out and flip it quickly." Lucy and Tim put their cups in their cakes and pushed them down and then pulled the cup out and flipped them. "Mine is blue!" Tim said. "Mine is pink!" Lucy said. "Oh my God! We're having a girl and a boy!" Lucy exclaimed. She hugged Tim and they kissed. "Thank you guys so much! You guys are the best friends in the whole world." Lucy said.
