What do y'all think Heaven is having? Boy or Girl?
———————————————————————————

3 months later.. (March) (20 weeks pregnant)

I held Omar's hand as we both walked into the decorated venue. Today was the day of my gender reveal. I didn't know what I was having and I wanted it to be a surprise not only to everyone but to me as well. The theme of it was twinkle twinkle little star (how I wonder what you are?).

Everyone stood up as we walked in with cameras in their hands taking pictures of us. The venue seating arrangement was split in half with a walk way down the middle almost like a wedding but with tables on each side. Omar's family sat on one side and my family sat on the other side. Omar held my hand and assisted me to our table in the front facing everyone. My pregnancy was a hard pill for everyone to swallow until everyone found out the 'notorious' family that I was involved with (Omar's rich white family) it's sad I know but no family is perfect and even if some of my family was being a little shady just to get close to Omar's family I wasn't mad as long as they got my baby a gift.

I smiled and blushed as everyone complimented me, snapped pictures and some of my family even cried as we walked down long the white carpet that led to the table and resembled a cloud. Omar pulled out my chair, and immediately as I sat down I looked around at the venue. It almost resembled a museum. Shiny granite floors and white columns aligned on the wall, as well as Large portraits of us along with our ultrasound pictures and stars dangling from the ceilings. Everything that I had pictured my gender reveal to be was all in this room and Omar made it happen. I was so grateful for him, he spoiled me rotten and saw no one else but me in his life. I was his top priority.

"Thank you so much." I said to Omar as he sat next to me.

"What you thanking me for girl?"

"All of this.. I told you what I wanted and you gave me everything I asked for with no hesitation."

"I'm supposed to do that. I only wanna see you happy so ima do what it is to keep you that way."

"Awww." I said as I kissed Omar on the cheek.

My mom walked over to the table "are you ready?"

"Yeah. We can start." I told her. I made my mom in charge of everything, well she kinda forced me to make her in charge of everything. She Planned everything and is the host for the day.

"Hello friends and family! I am so excited to host today's event celebrating bringing my first grandchild into this world that my beautiful daughter is carrying."

Everybody applauded.

"We're going to get started with a few games in just a few minutes so for now just help yourself at the appetizer table."

My mom turned the mic off and assembled the staff we hired to prepare the games.

~*~

About 3 hours later, After all the games and eating it was finally time to reveal the gender of our baby.

"Okay. I need everyone to go outside it's time to reveal the gender."

I wanted to keep it simple for this part because I wanted to know what is was as soon as possible so, we got a big box and I let Kelly do the honor of getting the balloons and the confetti popper etc. for it. She's the only one who's knows the gender and my mom has been trying to get Kelly to tell for the past few days and I wanted to let my mom do since she was in charge of everything else, but I knew exactly who I was dealing with if my mom knew first then it would be pasted around through the whole family then there's no point of the gender reveal.

As everyone gathered around the box me and Omar took our places in the front. Kelly was in the front with her camera and three of my younger cousins was in the front with the confetti poppers.

"Okay everybody who voted girl stand to the right and everyone who voted boy stand to the left"

Everyone shuffled to their designated spot and stood in place. Out of the 150 guests in attendance, about 60 thought it was a boy and the other 90 believed I was having a girl.

I wasn't sure what I was having in fact, I made Omar and I change clothes last minute into all white to show that I didn't care and so me and Omar could match. But seriously, All I wanted was a healthy baby and a labor with no complications.

Out of no where the sky began to get dark as grey clouds covered the sun. "Uh oh, we may have to take the box inside," My mom said looking up at the sky.

I sighed. The last thing I wanted to do what wait any longer to find out what my baby is and I know I said I don't care but I'm as curious as everyone here and my feet had started swelling whenever I walked too much and I knew if I walked that long distance back in that venue my ankle would look like fat sausages by the time we got home.

"No no. Let's just make it quick."

"As you wish."

"Okay. Open the box of the count 3," my mom shouted has she held up three fingers.

Out of no where everyone began shouting at each other what they thought the baby was.

"...3!

"..2!"

The clouds began to part and a beam of sunlight landed on top of the box, almost like a spotlight.

"...1!"


"It's a.."

Omar and I pulled back the top of the box and blue balloons started floating into the air.



"BOYYYYYY!!!!"

Everyone on the left jumped for joy and high fived each other almost as if they won a bet and knowing my cousin some of them probably did.

Tear started streaming down my face as Omar grab me and held me close to him. "I love you so much."

"I love you too."

Kelly came up to me with tears in her eyes as well "I'm going to be a god mom." She laughed and hugged me tighter than ever.

In this moment, I felt an unexplainable warmth and love that I wished I could last forever.
