Luciana// Zayn Malik

[46. Gender Reveal]

I love gender reveal videos. Seeing everyone so happy makes me happy.

Before y'all read what do you think the gender is going to be??

FYI Zayn doesn't know the gender but he was at the appointment. He will be surprised when it's revealed at the party.

My back aches and my neck hurts. It's what I get. I've been sleeping on the couch all week while Luciana and Presley slept upstairs. After the appointment Monday Luciana hasn't really talked to me much. Yelling a lot but no talking. I don't blame her I'd be losing my shit too if I was in her spot. I've yet to see Raul and that's what scares me the most. I mean he could've killed me already. We do live next door. I need to explain everything to them because they found out from the tv, a horrible way to find out.

I walk upstairs quietly trying not to wake them up but I hear Luciana talking very fast from the other side of the bedroom door. I open the door and I hear her more clearly, well kinda. She's on the phone and speaking Spanish so fast. I've never heard her talk this fast especially in her native language.

I head over to the closet and grab some clothes and walk back out to the bathroom

As much as I don't want to have the gender reveal party now I have no choice. I planned it last month and now I have to go through with it. I don't need my family judging me and Zayn for something Gigi did. Petty bitch.

I haven't talked to Zayn much only because I've been angry and I've been yelling at him. He doesn't deserve me yelling at him and taking my anger out on him for something Gigi did but he shouldn't have went to New York. Damn idiot. I hear the shower stop and then silence but then the door opens. I hear the first step on the staircase creek so I call him quick.

"Zayn!" I shout out and then I hear his feet walk to the bedroom and the door opens. He peaks his head in and I motion him over to take a seat next to me. I sent Presley over to my moms house earlier as he helps her cook for everything later today.

"How are you feeling?" He asks me as he looks at my belly carrying our bundle of joy who's gender I found out Monday. Even though I was mad then, finding out what we were having was a big deal and it made everything become calm and we were happy. Even if Zayn doesn't know yet I know he's really happy for whatever.

"I'm feeling fine, don't really want to have the party later if everyone is going to be judging you for what happened." I tell him and grab his hand and squeeze it. Zayn gives me a small smile and then begins to shift around and rubbing at his neck.

"How are you feeling?" I ask him even though I know he's hurting after sleeping on the couch. I shouldn't have made him sleep on that thing. He's too tall for it.

"My back and neck hurt but I'll be fine." He says and I frown.

"I'm sorry. I should've listened to you and not yelled," I tell him but he quickly interjects.

"I deserve all the anger you have to me right now. I shouldn't have left in the first place." He says and it makes me happy we agree on that. "I almost missed the appointment and got caught up in that drama in New York plus it was cold." He says and that makes me let out a soft laugh and it makes another smile appear on his face.

"I love you." I tell him and move foreword to warp my arms around his neck and give him a kiss. He wraps his arms around my waist and kisses back.

"I love you too." He says and we sit there holding each other.

I wobble over to my parents house next door and take a breath and open the door with Zayn's hand in mine. "You think they would understand if we canceled?" I ask and he just shakes his head and pulls me close.

"I should be the one asking you that." Zayn says and gives me a kiss and then the front door opens and there is my dad.

"Hola mija!" He says happily and opens his arms for a hug. "Zayn." He says and does nothing. I roll my eyes and walk inside.

I don't let go of Zayn's hand as we walk to the kitchen and to my mother. I don't want to let him go so that no one gets their hands on him.

"Well let's get this party started!" My mom says happily as people start coming inside and Zayn and I go sit in the warm sun in the backyard.

By the time everyone has arrived drinks are being passed around and bets are being made of the sex of the baby. My mom comes out the house with the big black balloon and a needle in the other hand. She sets it down in the grass and hands me the needle. I hold it tight in my hand. Phones all around are recording the event and I can already see headlines on them.

I quiet everyone down and grab Zayn's hand and pull him close. "Are you ready?" I ask as I give his hand a little squeeze while is other hand goes to rub my belly.

"I'm ready to go and buy the baby furniture after this." He says and that causes everyone to laugh. I lean in and give him a kiss and everyone awes and it's followed by camera shutters going off.

I hold the needle and pull down the balloon and take one last look at Zayn and he has the biggest smile on his face. I stab the needle into the balloon and it pops and pink glitter goes everywhere causing everyone to cheer. I drop the needle when Zayn gives me a big hug and kiss.

Even though a lot of shit has went down this past week from me kinda ignoring Zayn and my father wanting to kill him and Gigi, I feel like everything is back to normal now. Everyone is happy and all that matters is the family Zayn and I are going to have.

"I'm going to have a sissy!" Presley says happily as Zayn picks him up and we all look at each other happily. This is my family and I wouldn't have it any other way.

That ending almost felt like the end of the book. BUT I'm not ending it just yet. Even though that would be a nice stopping point. I finally updated. I waited/stalled a week because I've been busy with school and kinda lazy.

A couple more updates this weekend. Maybe some wedding planning/ baby shower planning now. Who knows.
