chapter ten; real life

"Are you feeling any better?"

"Go away!"

"You have the flu. I'm not going anywhere."

"Mia. The doctor even said to keep your space from me so you don't get sick."

"So?"

"You're so difficult sometimes."

"I'm well aware."

"Besides, it's been three days and you haven't told me what the gender is."

"Because I had them write it on a piece of paper and stick it in an envelope. I don't know what the gender is."

"What?"

"I mailed it to this place downtown that does cute gender reveal stuff."

"Oh."

"You're picking it up."

"Me?"

"It should be done by Saturday."

Saturday... today is Thursday.

I think.

"What if I'm still sick?"

"Well I can't have Sean get it. He doesn't know I'm doing this."

"You guys are the worst at communicating."

"I know."

She sighs.

"I was hoping it would be better at this point, but it's not."

"It should soon. You have to if you're going to raise this kid together."

"Once again, I know."

"Wait."

"What?"

"When are you planning on doing the gender reveal?"

"When everyone gets back."

"What day is it?"

"The twenty third."

"What?"

I look over at my phone to confirm it.

"Why?"

"I was going to do something today and I can't if I'm sick."

"Oh. Well you're almost better, you just have another day of the medicine and you're good."

I sigh, grabbing my phone and texting Olivia.

Gonna have to hold off on the plan another day. I'm sick and don't want to do anything big while I'm still contagious.

Also, I missed the flight because I had no idea what day it was.

"Everything okay?"

I nod.

"Okay. Just let me know if you need anything else."

"I can get it myself."

"Rest. You'll be able to do whatever you want to do sooner."

She walks out of mine and Reece's room, closing the door behind her.

I look at the text, shaking my head. I already had everything set up, and I would have to take it all down before the boys saw. It was a bitch to set up.

She can't help being sick though.

I laugh at her forgetting what day it was. She was so excited for this and now she doesn't even know what day it is.

The door begins to open, and I have to rush over to keep it from revealing too much.

"Liv? What's going on?"

"I'm changing!" I lie.

"It's nothing that I haven't seen before."

Oh. My. God.

"Seriously Blake?" Reece says quietly. "That's your response?"

"What else was I supposed to say?"

"Are you stupid?" George asks.

"No?"

"We'll take him to get food. Do you want anything?" Reece asks through the door.

"Just get me a granola bar or something."

"Okay. We will be back in a couple minutes."

I stand still for a moment before I'm certain they're gone and immediately rush over to the small setup I had just finished before Leah texted me.

I kind of figured something was up anyways. She didn't text me saying that she had gotten on the flight, so just that made me think something was up. I was stressed about it all morning, which Blake had noticed. He had asked me what was wrong multiple times and I just shrugged it off each time like there was nothing.

I carefully take down the set up, putting it all into the bag and shoving it into a corner. I put my jacket on top of it to keep the boys from looking.

I grabbed Blake's jumper and change into it quickly before sitting down on the couch with my phone.

"You decent?"

"Yes!"

The boys walk in, Blake immediately smiling at me.

"What happened?"

"I spilled my coffee all over me."

"So that's what that smell is." George says quickly.

"Yep!"

There's a smell?

"It smells like someone spilled coffee and didn't clean it up." Blake says, handing me the granola bar I asked for.

I stare at him.

"You did your thing again."

"Oh."

I hope I don't reveal the plan.

Why did Leah trust me with this?

"Trust you with what?"

I look over at Reece.

"Uh, nothing. Thanks for the granola bar, bye!"

And with that I run out of the room.
