EVERY BREATH

T W E N T Y - S E V E N

I walk into the backyard and it's decorated beautifully. There's a lot of booths with either the color blue or pink.

"It's beautiful" I tell Luna and Abby.

"This was so much fun to plan. I got the idea from when you threw my gender reveal" Luna says excitedly.

"I hope it's another boy girls seem like too much work" I tell her.

"Hey! I have Kenzie and now baby Rachel that's on her way. There so much fun" she says grabbing her belly.

"I know but imagine Elijah would have someone to play with" I tell her looking at my baby.

"Okay let's go you have to check all the stations out" Abby says pulling me away.

"Hey I have been meaning to ask you something. Are you and matt dating?" I ask her.

"Kind of" she says shrugging her shoulders.

"That's great, i mean I never pictured you two together but I'm happy for you" I tell her.

"I know me either, but we started going to the same college and we just fell for each other" she tells me.

"I hope he's treating you right cause if not I'm going to beat him up" I tell her gently bumping shoulders with her.

"He is" she smiles looking at him.

"We're going to finally reveal the gender of the baby!" Abby says waving her hands around. She grabs a soccer ball and hands it to James. He looks like he's being tortured. This is not his scene but he's trying which is what matters. "Alright when you're ready kick the ball and you'll know the gender of your baby" she says and James lifts the ball a little and smiles. I grab Elijah and hug him.

"Ready?" James asks kissing me.

"Yes" I smile and hold Elijah tightly. James throws the soccer ball in the air and kicks it. Pink powder fills the air and James jumps in happiness. Everyone starts screaming and clapping. James kisses me and spins me around.

"Woohoo, I'm having a girl!" James screams and I kiss Elijah's cheeks multiple time.

"I told you momma" Elijah tells me while giggling about all the kisses I'm giving him.

"I know baby your wish came true you're having a sister. You better love and protect her" I tell him pushing his hair out of his eyes.

"I will, i will momma" he says and James grabs him from me.

"Are you happy buddy?" James asks him.

"Of course dadda" Elijah says. James tosses him in the air and catches him.

"I love your reaction James. I couldn't ask for a better man" I tell him while hugging both him and Elijah.

"I'm just so thankful for everything in my life" James tells me while placing a kiss on my forehead.

"Congrats baby girl" Alex says and hugs me.

"Alex!" I scream excitedly.

"You didn't think I would miss this did you?" He asks.

"I thought you were too busy" I tell him.

"Never for you though" he says and kisses my cheek.

"Hey you're mine" Taylor says playing around.

"Of course" Alex tells his boyfriend.

"I'm just playing, congratulations" he says while locking arms with Alex.

"Thank you" I say and hug him.

"When is the do date?" Taylor asks.

"October 14" James tells him. He comes next to me and pulls me close.

"Congrats baby bro" Alex says offering him his hand.

"Thanks" James says. He takes his hand and pulls him in for a hug.

"Cole!" Elijah screams running to Alex and jumping in his arms.

"Mini Jay, how you been?" Alex asks picking him up.

"Good, momma and dadda are taking me to the zoo tomorrow. Are you going to go with us?" Elijah asks an Alex looks at us.

"Absolutely" he tells him.

"Let's cut the cake?" Abby asks putting an arm around me.

"Yes, that's the only reason I came here" I joke to her.

"Wow" she's says pretending to be affended.

"I'm just kidding come on let's go cut the cake" I tell her.
