That evening all of the kids came over to Danny and Jessica's. Zachary and Alyssa decided to tell everyone that they are having a boy. They realized it was too hard to keep a secret as big as this.
"A boy?! Oh wow, that's awesome!" Michael says.
"Mommy, what you having?" Nova asks.
"A boy! It's a baby boy, Novies!"
"Oh no, I wanted a girl!" She says in her cute baby voice as she throws herself forward on Jessica's lap.
"But you'll love your little cousin Enrique!" Jessica smiles.
"Mom!" Zachary laughs.
"That's what I'm calling him, Zachary! Baby Ricky!" She smiles and holds her belly.
"And Jess, he's not her cousin." Danny says.
"What? Oh right! Sorry, that's still so weird to me!" She laughs.
"Your nephew Enrique!"
"Baby Ricky be nice to me?" Nova asks.
"Of course!"
"He be cute?"
"I know he will be!"
"He be quiet?"
"I don't know about that!" Jessica laughs.
"He be so much fun?!"
"Absolutely!"
"Then I is happy it's a boy!"
"Aw! Good, baby!" Jessica smiles and gives her a hug.
"Gigi! Has a boy in hers tummy! Gigi has a boy in hers tummy!" Samuel jumps around.
"I think he's excited." Jessica laughs.
Suddenly the baby starts flipping all over the place.
"Zachary and Alyssa! Hurry up and come feel this! The baby's moving!"
The two run over and place their hands on her belly.
"Oh my gosh! Oh he's a little wiggle worm!" She laughs.
Jessica smiles and nods her head.
"Yes he is!"
"Wow..
Baby, it's mama! I can't wait to meet you and hold you in my arms, little man! Oh gosh, I just wanna kiss him all over!"
"He's so strong! Man, this kid is gonna be awesome at sports!" Zachary smiles.
Jessica smiles and watches them with tears in her eyes.
