Our Mistake (Laurmani)(COMPLETED)

New Beginning

Lauren's P.O.V

After our engagement, everyone got together and threw us an engagement party/baby shower. It was awkward to say the least because some gifts were sexual and then others were for the baby. To make things even more awkward, my parents and Mani's parents came. Yeah so it had it's fair share of awkward moments. I felt bad for Normani though. I had a few drinks through out the night but she had to suffer through it completely sober. Another thing was that no one knew whether or not to get boy or girl things so everything was gender neutral. Normani and I do know what we're having but we haven't told anyone. Not even Maya because she has a big mouth. She'll tell Dinah and then everyone will know. She's been begging to know though since she heard me talking to my mom on the phone, I told her we knew but I wasn't telling her. Then I got a phone call from my mom telling me Maya is grilling her about the baby. It's really funny that she wants to know so bad.

"Mami, come on! Tell me." Maya says as she grabs my arm. I knew this would happen when Normani left us alone. I thought maybe watching TV would distract her but I was wrong.

"You'll find out in...what? A month?"

"I want to know now! Mom said I could help name it. How can I help if I don't know what it is?"

"Pick boy names and girl names." I say and she groans loudly and pretends to cry.

"Please! I wanna no!" I chuckle and she glares at me.

"It's not funny!" She huffs and folds her arms over her chest.

"How about this? Right before mom has it, I'll tell you."

"Why wait? Just tell me now. I won't say anything." I nod and move closer to her.

"You promise?" I ask and she nods rapidly. I lean in close to her ear and whisper.

"It's a girl...or a boy."

"Ugh!" She says frustrated and stands from the couch. I laugh as she storms out of the room and lay back on the couch.

"What did you do to her?" I hear Mani say and I look to see her walking in the living room.

"Nothing. She wanted to know what the baby was so I told her."

"She's mad it's a -"

"Don't say it out loud. She might be able to hear you. I told her it's a girl or a boy." I interrupt. Normani rolls her eyes.

"She'll find out soon enough." I nod and walk over to Normani. I kiss her and then continue walking to the kitchen.

"Did you two finish unpacking?" Normani asks and I nod.

"We finished awhile ago. I figured I'd put the crib together now since we're pretty settled in." I say as I look around for my keys. We finally moved in our new house about 2 days ago. This house is way better than Mani or my old house. It's bigger so the kids will have space and it's still close to everyone we know. The neighborhood is nice and kid friendly with a park right around the corner. There are lots of kids that live around here and Maya has already started making new friends.

"What are you looking for?" Mani asks as she sits down at the kitchen table.

"My keys. I know I left them in here." Normani rolls her eyes and holds my keys out to me on one finger.

"I took your car remember." Oh yeah. I take the keys and kiss her cheek.

"Where are you going?"

"To get a screwdriver. I thought Tree top ex might have had some or something so I'm going over there to ask first." Normani nods and I leave out the door. I cross the street and walk down two houses until I get to Dinah's. I figure she's home since her car is in the driveway. I knock on the door and I'm greeted with a huge smile from Dinah of course.
