Gender Reveal

Nicole

"Nicole if you don't tell me what the gender is I swear!" Duke followed me around the backyard.

I sat a tray of pink and blue cookies on the table under the tent. "Duke leave me the hell alone! Stop asking me, I'm not telling you."

Today was the day of Korea's Gender Reveal party, with me being the Godmother, I was the only one who knew what she was having. I also was responsible for the gender reveal party, revealing the gender in a creative way, food, and invitations. Of course Maurice and Mila helped me.

"But I really want to know!" He followed me back into the house. We were having it at Korea and Julio's house in the backyard. The whole outside thing wasn't my idea, that's what Korea wanted. Had it been up to me, we would've been either at a center or in the house with cool ass air conditioning.

"Leslie can you tell Duke to leave me alone?" I asked annoyed. She was the first person I seen when I walked through the door.

She laughed "He still asking you what the baby is?"

"Yes!"

She gripped his shoulder "Leave sis alone man, you know she due any day now."

I smacked my lips "Stop saying that, I'm only seven months."

"You mean seventeen?" Duke asked before they laughed in my face.

Everybody joked about how big I was with this baby. I was way bigger than I was with Taejin. I still was overall the same size but I had gained a lot of weight in my thighs, butt, and arms. My stomach was big as hell too, she definitely was going to be a big baby.

Tae was right and we were having a girl, I was so excited. He on the other hand didn't know unless somebody in the family had told him, which I'm sure somebody had. We had nothing to do with each other, I did everything I could to keep from seeing him. I had gotten security for my spa and gave them strict orders to not let him in, I moved out of our house and sold it out of spite; I put the money from it in Taejin's savings account. I now had my own three bedroom apartment, Maurice and I lived in the same complex. I sold the G-Wagon he bought me and replaced it with one I bought for myself. Although I had to beg Ms. Karen to give him back my engagement ring- she did it for me.

I wanted nothing to do with him, period. I wanted this pregnancy to be as stress free as possible. Everybody of course had their minds set on us getting back together but that was the last thing on my mind.

Whenever it was his days to get Taejin, I'd either drop him off at Ms. Karen's or Julio and Korea's. They were also how we communicated if we had to, which was very seldom. They'd tell me things he wanted me to know and I'd do the same for him.

"I'm done talking to y'all." I walked towards the back of the house where the guest room was. Mila and Maurice were in it getting dressed.

"Hey cute girl, you done setting everything up to your liking?" Mila asked, buttoning her pants.

"Yes, finally" I responded. They were helping me set up but I got annoyed with them because they weren't doing what I asked, so I sent them back in the house.

I dug through my duffle bag looking for some undergarments. The Gender Reveal didn't start until four and it was only two so Korea was still laying down.

"You know he gone be here today right?" She asked.

I sighed "Yes I know" I got my lotion and cocoa butter out of my bag.
