"That goes over there, please." Dearra said while pointing towards the empty space in Klay's backyard.
Today was the gender reveal, and the set up crew were starting to arrive and put up the decorations. Both Dearra and Klay spent upwards a thousand dollars on the event– from decor to catering.
Dearra's pregnant body wobbled around the backyard ensuring everything was perfect. "I just paid the lady for the cake." Klay said, as he carried the tier cake and put it on the display table.
Dearra clapped her hands from excitement, "It's so pretty!" she exclaimed while admiring the edible masterpiece.
"I still can't believe we're going to be parents." Klay said with a small glimmer in his eyes.
Dearra replied, "I know, but we have each other, and our family and friends."
After the entire backyard was set up with all the decorations, Klay and Dearra both got dressed. The color scheme was pretty neutral, there was a lot of brown, cream, and white decor.
When Dearra and Klay went to the appointment to find the baby's gender they had the doctor put it into an envelope, so the only person who knew the baby's gender was Dess. She was in charge of the actual reveal.
A winded Dearra sat on the bed as Klay got ready, "Come on Peanut, you're in my ribs." she said while holding her side in pain. The baby liked to rest on her ribs and she couldn't do anything but complain and accept it.
Klay laughed at her discomfort, "Leave my child alone."
"Your child is hurting me, I was your baby first." Dearra replied while watching Klay spray the cologne.
The doorbell ringing made them leave the bedroom, and travel down the stairs. Every day it got harder and harder for her to see her feet.
Opening the door, there stood Dess and Jordan. Dess complimented her friend, "You clean up nice, girlfriend."
"I love you so much." Dearra replied, while trying to hug her friend the best way possible.
Dearra has always been an emotional person, but now she was emotional all the time and for no reason. Klay had practice the other day, and she cried the entire time he got ready, so she went to practice with him.
"That sign in the driveway nice as fuck." JP told the couple. They hired an artist to hand paint a sign that read, Dearra & Klay's Gender Reveal 2024.
"How much did y'all spend on this?" JP questioned, as they walked into the backyard.
"Damn. If I gotta do all this, I ain't getting pregnant." Dess commented, while taking in all the decorations.
Klay replied, "We probably spent a thousand, give or take."
"Y'all rich as fuck."
About thirty minutes later most of the guests were here. Everyone was having a good time. They conversed, played baby games, took pictures with the new parents, and much more.
