Carlee
"Chris, Carlee look this way." Photographers yelled.
We posed and the cameras flashed.
(Excuse my horrible photoshopping 😂)
Ciara went waaaay over board with this damn gender reveal! Why do we need a red carpet and shit? I get that she's excited but this is just too much.
Once we had enough pictures we walked into the party. It was so many people here. I don't think I know half of these folks.
Constantly somebody was rushing up to me, touching my stomach and I hate that! But I was going to be nice so I put on a fake smile.
"Congratulations Carlee and Chris." Some lady said.
I smiled. "Thank you, excuse us." I grabbed Chris's hand and walked towards this huge table with two chairs that I was guessing is for us.
"I am going to kill Ciara! I told her that I wanted something small. This is like a baby shower." I complained.
"I'm scared to see what the baby shower is going to look like." He pulled my chair out and I sat down. "But let's just enjoy this because she didn't really have to do this for us."
I nodded and relaxed back in my seat.
Watching everybody mingle, I took a sip of the water sitting in front of me. Chris would grab my hand or rub my thigh.
Ciara came rushing over to us. "You guys are just sitting up here being so blah, come dance, talk to people do something."
"We don't know any of these people Ciara." Chris told her.
"Yes you do, they're your friends and family. Carlee our aunts and uncles are here a few of our cousins. Chris your family is over there with your mother. Y'all just came in and sat down."
"Come on baby let's go walk around and speak." Chris said to me.
"My pregnant ass just wants to eat."
"Stop being so mean, I'll feed you once you speak to everyone."
I exhaled and got out my seat. Grabbing Chris's hand we started going around. Once again my stomach was being rubbed without asking.
I loved hearing how beautiful I was and my family bragged on Chris. Hearing how excited my mom would've been had me on the verge of tears but I held it together.
