finding out the gender of the baby;

your pov

   your eyes are shut tight. you're afraid to open them.

"babe," a soft voice calls out to you. "you ready?"

   finally, you open your eyes. you look down into the eyes of your beautiful, green-eyed wife and instantly relax. you give her a small nod before allowing her head to rest against your chest once more. the crowd surrounding you begins to die down their chatting -ready for the big reveal.

   you squeeze her arm with the arm you have draped around her shoulder while your other is reaching down -allowing your hand to rest on your wife's pregnant belly. today was the day. the much awaited day. the gender reveal. you and lauren had decided to wait on finding out the gender of the baby until a month before they were due. you both had decided to only get gender neutral items; from diapers to the colors of the nursery wall.

   your best friend graciously set this whole thing up -knowing exactly how busy you two were. she decided that the way we'd all find out was by opening an abnormally large gift box that contained balloons with either pink for a girl or blue for a boy.

   so here you were. standing beside your wife behind a single box. surrounded by so so so many family members and friends who were anxiously waiting. you look over at lauren once more, before you each grab one side and on the count of three -lift up. allowing ten blue balloons to be released into the sky.

   seeing this, your eyes must've lit up the sky. you couldn't believe it. you bring your wife in for a much-needed kiss and you tried your hardest to keep your tears in but you couldn't help but let one slip. the crowd of people roared with cheer. happy to finally recognize the baby to be a boy. your baby boy. but just as they were about to rush towards us, we stopped them.

we said, "you didn't think the show was over, did you?"

   just then... camila came from the side of our home. rolling in a second gift box. what no one knew but the three of them was.. that you and lauren would be having twins. it was exciting, to say the least. it was a miracle that you two had even agreed on one suitable donor. but to get two babies out of it was such a blessing. you couldn't have asked for anything better.

"lauren!" clara, my mother in law, could be heard yelling. "i'm going to kill you."

   you let out a small chuckle. they had absolutely no idea. although they constantly asked about the reason why lauren's stomach was so large, they did not reach to this conclusion. camila left the box beside the already opened, gift box number one. you two didn't waste time on this one. everyone was too impatient. you two were too impatient. you two ripped the top off the box to see another set of blue balloons slowly fly up into the air.

   you couldn't help but celebrate the right way this time. you turn to your wife and lift her. careful not to do anything to her belly. she was carrying your babies. you boys. this was definitely the best wish you could ask for.
