"Oh my goodness, I am so excited to tell the kids what the babies are!"
"I know! Oh my gosh, Jess, can you believe we're having-"
"Honey, watch the road!" Jessica interrupts.
"Oh sorry!"
"I know you're excited, but let's try to stay alive until these two get here!" She laughs and touches her stomach.
Danny stops at the light and places his hand on the center of her belly.
"I love you." He smiles.
"I love you too."
"I can't believe we're having-"
"WAAAAAHHHH!"
"Oh Arabella! What's the matter?" Jessica says in a cute voice.

Danny and Jessica get in the car line early, to pick the kids up, and as soon as they both got in, they bugged and bugged for them to tell them what they were having.

"Hey, kids, how was school?" Jessica asks.
"Fine. What are the babies?!" Sofia asks with excitement.
"Not yet!" Jessica smiles.
"Come on, mom!" Jackson says, making her laugh.
"Nope!" She nods.
"Dad?"
"Sorry bud.  No can do, my friend."
"Aw man!" Sofia crosses her arms and pouts.

When they get home, Jessica tells them to go upstairs and change, then to come back and they'll tell them.
"Mom, please just tell us now!"
"We have to set it up, Sof."
"Fine." She sighs.

They ordered two cupcakes with either pink or blue icing in the middle, so that when they bit into it, they'd know whether it was a boy or a girl.

"Okay, we're done!" Sofia runs down dragging Jackson with her.
"Sof, carful with your brother!" Jessica laughs.
"Sit down.  You both have a cupcake with white icing on top. When you bite into it, Sofia's will have the color of the gender for baby A, and Jackson's will be for baby B."
"Ah! I can't stand it! Let me bite it! Let me bite it!" Sofia runs to the table.
"Wait, let's take pictures first!"
"Mom, come on!" Sofia bounces.
"Okay, okay!" She takes the picture, then says, "Okay, Sofia, you go first."
"Ahhhh!"
"I think she's excited." Danny laughs.
"Heh, I think so."

She bites into it and closes her eyes.
"Sof?"
"I'm too excited, I need to calm down." She mumbles with a mouth full of cupcake.
They laugh and she opens her eyes.
"You've got it all over your mouth!" Jessica laughs.
Sofia turns to Jackson and asks, "Jax, what color is my mouth?"
"Uhm.. Blue!"
"Ahhhh it's blue!! IT'S A BOYYYY!!!!" She jumps out of the chair and jumps up and down, before she runs over and hugs Jessica tight around her waist.
She lays her head on her bump and squeezes her tighter.
"Aw, you're so sweet, Sofia!" Jessica rubs and pats her back.

"Can I eat my cupcake now?"
"Yes, Jackson, go ahead, baby." Jessica laughs.

He bites it, but the bite wasn't big enough.
"You gotta take a bigger bite, bud." Danny says.
"Yeah, this is the one and only time that mommy will let you stuff your mouth." Jessica giggles.

"I hope it's another boy!" Sofia bounces up and down.
Jessica smiles at her, then they wait for Jackson to reveal the second baby's gender.
Jackson takes a big bite and looks at it again.
His eyes widen and he sticks his finger in it, then wiggles it the air and says, "BLUE!"
"Ahhhh it's another boy!" Sofia loses it and Danny laughs. He loved how happy she was.
"So now you know." Jessica smiles.
"Mommy, is it really boys? You're not just playing?"
"No, baby." Jessica smiles and softly caresses the side of her face, then says, "We're having two boys!"
"Yay, that's what I wanted!"
"I thought for sure you'd want at least one girl." Danny says.
"No, because now me and Arabella will always be the only girls, and me her and mommy will be spoiled by all the boys in the house!" She smiles.
"That's true!" Jessica giggles and taps Sofia's nose.
"There's gonna be four boys in the house, babe." Danny smiles.
"Oh lord!"
He laughs and Jackson says, "Mmm! This cupcake is good!"
They laugh and Jessica puts her hand on her belly, "Hopefully these two are as mellow and easy going as he is."

Are you guys still liking this?  What would you like me to add?  Please let me know! :)
Oh and very random, but those cupcakes are the ones I ate in New York.  They were from Carlo's Bakery, and it was the only thing I could eat that day.  I was too excited, because I was about to spend four hours with Jessica Lange, so I couldn't eat!  Lol.  Anyway, I'm just rambling, so bye. ✌🏼️
