Skater Girl

04. Gender Reveal

I knew what the baby was. My mom did as well, but no one else did.
Because of us being on tour, we couldn't have an actual gender reveal party, so we decided on something a little better.
While the boys were at the concert, Mom and I were going to sneak into the buses and leave a big box in it (along with it being bugged) that has big blue and pink polka dots on it. It has two smaller boxes in it.
Those separate smaller boxes have two different colors on it that have Our Surprise and Our Miracle on it in white writing.
Once they open those, Our Surprise will release blue balloons and Our Miracle will release pink ones.
No one knows that we know, except one crew member because she's been pregnant before.
Around 3 o'clock, the boys and crew left to go get ready for the show. Mom and I started in our bus because it would've been less suspicious.
We filled the boxes with appropriate balloon colors.
I smiled, as did Mom.
They were gonna be excited about this.
"Alright. This bus is done. Let's go to the rest of the bands."
We finished All Time Lows and the crews.
The final one was 5 Seconds of Summers.
I also got multiple copies of the ultrasound to put at the bottom of each box.
I smiled and hugged Mom.
"Thanks for helping me with this."
"It's an honor."
We then went back to our bus, since Jack dumped his girlfriend when he found out not a single person approved of her.
Finally, around 11, the shows ended and Jack ran on the bus, eager to shower.
"Hey, Mom, Eva. How is little one doing?"
"Good. Just great."
It was so hard not to give off any hints.
Jack continued his walk into the living room and saw the huge box in the middle of the room.
"Is this what I think it is?"
"I don't know, is it?" I asked with a shit-eating grin on my face.
He quickly ducked down and tore the box open, confusion masking his face.
"Wait, what is it? There are just two boxes."
"Take the boxes out and read them, then open them."
"Our Surprise. Our Miracle," he read and then opened the boxes.
Jack then gasped and his face lit up like a kid on Christmas morning.
"Twins? One of each?"
"One of each," I confirmed.
The next day the door flew open and Alex and the rest of the boys in both bands flew onto the bus.
"You're having twins?!" they yelled.
"Surprise!"
"One of each?" Michael asked, making me smile.
"One of each."
Over these past two weeks, Michael and I have gotten extremely close. Almost as close as Alex and I. Michael literally knows everything about me, from my favorite food to my deepest fear.
Alex doesn't even know my deepest fear.
We have become inseparable.
Michael helps me with the pregnancy by holding my hair back when I puke and getting more pillows to prop up on.
Michael helped me pick out the baby names, as did Alex, Jack, and Mom.
I love my babies and I wanted another opinion on them.
"Wait, Eva, how did they miss the twin?"
"She was hiding behind her brother."
"Woah. Well, we know Carter and Theo are going to be just like you and Jack."
"What? You think Carter is gonna be overprotective?"
"I know so. He's got the Barakat blood in him."
Jack rolled his eyes.
I went over and sat next to Michael.
"Can we go somewhere and talk for a second?"
"Of course. Come on," Michael said, standing up and offering his hand to help me up.
"So, I kind of wanted to ask you what you were planning on doing when you can no longer fly."
"Im going home at the beginning of eight months with my mom, she'll take care of me, and then when the babies are born, y'all have a few weeks off, and then I'll rejoin the tour a month after yall restart the tour."
"Sounds like you got it all figured out then."
"We do. Jack is just worried about the same thing I am. What if he comes back? No one will be able to stop him because Mom wont be able to hold him off."
"You're worried he'll hurt you or worse them."
"Exactly. I dont know, Mikey. Its just hard."
"Hey, I'm here. Right here. Im never going away, no matter how hard you push me, I promise."
I looked up at him and saw his sparkling hazel eyes, making me realize just how close we are.
Looking at his lips, I realized just how kissable they were.
We kept getting closer , neither of us realizing we were doing it.
When his lips brushed against mine, my eyes fluttered close, and nothing else happened. I opened my eyes and saw him smirking.
"Sorry, babe. You gotta get a date in first."
"Michael Clifford, are you asking me out?"
His cheeks went extremely red, making me smile.
"I-I m-mean, i-if you w-want t-to."
"Dont get so nervous, I would love to go on a date with you, Michael. I've been waiting for you to ask me."
He nodded and then snapped up with wide eyes.
"You knew?"
"Ash told me."
"I'm gonna kill him."
"Why? It worked, didn't it?"
He sighed and smiled at me.
"Be ready by 7. We don't have a concert tonight."
"What should I wear?"
"Be yourself. Thats all I can ask."
"How fancy?"
"Um. Casually fancy?"
"Okay."
He then got up and left, while I went to shower.
I shaved every part of my body, except my head, after washing my hair and body. I stepped out and wrapped a towel around my head and body.
When I stepped out of the bathroom, Jack screamed, making me jump.
"Sorry, didnt know you were in there. Where are you going?"
"Out with a friend."
"Last time you said that you were going on a date."
I winked at him and kept walking towards my room, closing the door and walking to my closet.
What do I wear? What will fit?
A/N: Hello, lovelies! Well, here is the gender reveal! :D She's having twins!! One of each!!
The top picture is kind of what I imagined with it.
The video is kind of my tribute to Christina Grimmie. I absolutely loved her and every song she covered or released. She was beautiful and shockingly talented. My prayers go out to her family, friends, and fans.
My prayers also go out to the people and families and friends who were either killed or injured in the Orlando shooting.
This world isnt safe anymore. Everyone please be careful and hug everyone you love close!
