*20 weeks pregnant*

Danny and Jessica stopped at a cake shop to order a cake for their gender reveal party after their doctors appointment. They both decided not to know the gender until the reveal party that night. They wanted to be surprised with everyone else. Jessica had asked the doctor to write down the gender on a piece of paper and seal it in an envelope. Danny got down at the cake shop and ordered the cake and handed the envelope to the cashier. He ordered a cake that looked like a present and it said He? She? Open to see! The frosting was of course pink and blue. The inside of the cake will reveal the baby's gender.

When Danny got back into the car he said, "It'll be ready at 4." He smiled at Jessica and asked, "Lunch?"
"Yes please!" Jessica replied.
At the restaurant Jessica ordered a salad with light ranch salad dressing; she tried to eat as healthy she could. As they waited for their food, they talked about the wedding.
"Are you nervous?" asked Danny.
"A little." Jessica said with a small laugh.
"What are you nervous about?"
"I...just...I'm going to look huge in my dress!"
"Jess, don't be silly, you're going to look amazing."
"Don't call me silly! I'm going to be 6 months pregnant and I'll be bigger than I am now! And I still need to go for my fitting in a few weeks." Jessica snapped.
"Hun that's not what...I...." He trailed not sure what to say.
Jessica begins to cry. "I'm sorry, I just...can't control my emotions right now. All these changes to my body are overwhelming. I try so hard not complain because I didn't get this far in my first pregnancy and I want to enjoy every minute this time." She finishes while rubbing her belly.
Danny moves his chair next to Jessica's and puts his arms around her and comforts her. After a while she begins to calm down, "I'm sorry Danny."
"Hun, there isn't anything to be sorry for." He lifts her head up and kisses her.

After they got back to their apartment, Jessica decides to take a warm bubble bath to relax a little before everyone gets there. After Jessica gets out of the tub, Danny goes out to pick up the cake.
Jessica gets dressed and walks to the kitchen to get things ready. She decided to serve finger foods instead making a huge meal. She set a tray of sandwiches on the living room table when her phone rang. Jessica looked down at her phone and saw that it was her agent Adam.
"Hey Adam."
"Hello Jessica."
"What's going on?" she asked noticing his tone of voice.
"Well, Jess, a letter arrived in my office today and...it's addressed to you."
"Okay...who's it from?"
"It's from Sam."
Jessica sighed and said, "Adam, just send it back. Please."
After hanging up with Adam, Jessica takes a deep breath. "What the fuck does Sam want?!"
The door bell rings and Jessica puts Sam and the letter to the back of her mind.
"Oh my Jess, you look so adorable with your baby bump!"
Jessica laughs, "Well thanks Kathy!" They hug and Jessica's says, "I'm so glad you could make it! Come in!"
"How is everything going?" Kathy asks as they sit on the sofa.
"Everything is going well. The wedding planning is done, although I need to go for my final fitting in a few weeks. And the baby is right on track." Jessica said.
"May I?!" Kathy asks.
Jessica smiles, "Sure!"
"Awe! Has the baby been kicking?"
"No, not yet. I do feel the baby move but no kicks yet."
Just then Danny walks in the door holding the cake. "Hey love, look who I ran into down stairs."
"Can we cut the cake now!?" Sarah says excitedly walking in the door holding Lily's hand.
"Jeez Sarah calm down we just got here!" Catherine says. "Let us at least say hi first."
"Sorry mom! I just want to know if me and Lily are going to have a niece or nephew." Sarah and Lily laugh and go to hug Jessica.
"We are still waiting Anjelica. But as soon as she gets here we'll cut the cake!" Jessica says.

A few minutes later Anjelica walks through the door. "Sorry I'm late!"
They all get settled but everyone especially Danny and Jessica couldn't wait anymore.
"Okay I can't wait anymore! Danny let's cut the cake!"
"Of course love."
Everyone follows Danny and Jessica into the dining room table. The cake and a knife are waiting.
Jessica and Danny hold the knife together and cut the cake. They take a deep breath and pull the slice of cake and place it on a plate.
"Oh my god!" Jessica puts the plate down and throws her arms around Danny and they all cry tears of joy.
"We're having a boy!"
Everyone hugs and congratulates the parents to be.
All of a sudden Danny looks up and says, "I love all you ladies but I'm so happy there will be another male in the family!"
