Kie's POV:

The pregnancy was going pretty fast and I was taking online classes while working part time at the Wreck. JJ was still busy working all the time. I was four and a half months along.

My mom and I have been going to the gym together and doing classes. It was super good for me right now to relieve stress in a healthy way and it would help with labor.

Sarah had a baby shower with the pogues for me and JJ and it was adorable. My mom was also going to throw me a baby shower when I was closer to seven months pregnant.

I was with my mom walking around on Figure Eight talking about my pregnancy. My mom and I have gotten even closer since I got pregnant. I was thankful to have her to talk to as she's been through this before.

I asked a bunch of questions about giving birth and what to expect and she answered them all honestly. I was nervous to push this baby out and even more scared that I might need a C-section.

"Anna, Kiara" Mrs. Larson yelled form her driveway

"Hi" My mom answered trying to be polite to our neighbor who was always so annoying

"Anna, you know that I'm kinda shocked you're so supportive of your daughters pregnancy"

"Not that it's any of your business, but she's my daughter and she's happily married. She's an adult and I can't wait to be a grandma"

"Like mother like daughter"

"Fuck you, Susan!" My mom said giving her the finger as we walked away

I followed my moms lead and flipped her off as we walked away.

"She's such a bitch" I said

"Totally, I've wanted to do that forever and I wasn't going to let her talk shut about my little girl"

"Did people say shit like that to you about being pregnant with me? You know because dad was a pogue"

"A few people did... I know JJ, you know JJ but most kooks have this image of him in their head and it's not a good one which is why you probably hear so much shit... Your dad, the kooks loved him... But it doesn't matter what anyone says, I love you and JJ and you guys are going to be the best parents to your little baby"

"Thanks mom, for everything"

"It's my job" She smiled as we went home and she made me a smoothie

JJ's POV:

Mike showed up to the house today and he said, "Clean up, we're going for a drive"

"Mike, I have a lot of work to do"

"I know, it will be fast... Come on, we'll get lunch too"

I went inside and cleaned up and then I hopped into Mike's truck. He drove a few miles by the shop I had wanted to buy, but it had been bought a few weeks ago. He took me to a restaurant and we sat down and enjoyed a meal together. We mainly talked about work and the baby.

Mike told me all about how he felt when Anna was pregnant with Kiara.

"Do you think it's it's a boy or girl?" Mike asked

"I have no clue.. No matter what we end up having, I can't wait"

After lunch, we were driving back to my house. Mike stopped at the garage that was sold and he turned the truck off and got out. I followed him and Mike asked, "This is the place you wanted, huh?"

"Yeah, would've been nice to have somewhere else besides my house. Don't really want all the random people knowing where I live and coming and going with Kiara there, especially once the baby is born. I would also be able to do more than just basic maintenance"

"JJ, from the day I've met you, you've worked your ass off. You've always been a hard worker, especially once you started dating my daughter and even more so now that you're going to be a dad... You're good at what you do and I wanted to invest in your business. Welcome to your new garage"

"You bought this?"

"Yeah, I did and it's all yours"

"You're serious? Mike, I can pay you back"

"No need, Anna's parents bought the Wreck for me and it became super successful. Now it's your turn"

I hugged Mike and thanked him and he brought me home so I could finish working. Kie came home from working at the Wreck and I told her and she was crying happy tears.

Over the next few days, we did a lot of work over there and I was able to start working there instead of at home. My dreams were all coming true.

The gender reveal party was coming up and Sarah was doing all the planning. It was being hosted at Mike and Anna's house. It was small, with some of the Carrera's close family friends, a few extended family members, the pogues, and to my surprise, my father.

They had some sandwiches, fruit, and things laid out for lunch and after we finished eating, we were going to find out it it was a boy or a girl.

Kie finished eating and she went inside and texted me.

Kie: Come to my room

I excused myself and went to her childhood room. The room where I used to sneak into to the room that Mike and Anna let me live in. Kie was sitting on her bed and I asked, "Everything okay?"

"No matter if it's a girl or a boy, I'm going to be happy... I'm just nervous and excited to find out"

"Me too, babe... If you don't wanna find out now, we can wait until the birth" I offered

"No, I can't wait to know... I just want a moment alone with you before we find out" She smiled

I sat beside her and I kissed her and said, "I love you, Kiara Anna Maybank.. Let's go find out if we're having a JJ or Kiara junior"

She had the biggest smile on her face as we went back outside. There was a big black balloon that we were going to pop and confetti (pink or blue) was going fly.

We had people getting a video and I kissed Kie quickly as the countdown started.

"3...2...1..." I looked at Kie and I stuck the needle in the balloon, it popped and we saw the confetti

Kie was crying and my eyes were watering. She hugged me and practically jumped into my arms and I spun her around. We were both so excited.

We took lots of pictures and posted them on social media. Sarah was already planning a shopping trip with Kiara to get clothes now that we know the gender.

We went home that night and went into the room that was going to be the nursery. Kie smiled and said, "I guess I finally know what color to paint the walls in here"

"You aren't painting them, paint isn't good for you to be around when you're pregnant. I'll paint them next weekend"

"You're so good to us" Kie said putting a hand on her baby bump
