More Than Friends (Aarmau Fanfiction)[Completed]

Chapter 44|Gender Reveal

Today is the day. I get to find out the gender of my little one.

I set one hand on the top of my developing baby bump. Twenty  weeks, I'm pretty much halfway there. I almost can't believe it.

I stroll to the window above the active oven, looking out into the backyard. We're gonna have this fun little party. My mom already knows the gender. She's out buying whatever we're revealing the gender with. I'm baking cookies, Kawaii~Chan's recipe. Aaron is out buying extra stuff for the party.

Imagine if he ran into my mom at the store. Are they even shopping at the same place? I wonder...

I jump a little bit as I feel the warmth of familiar arms wrap around my body, two hands shaping around my baby bump.

Just kidding, I guess he's home.

"You scared me." I smile, laying my head back on his chest.

"I'm sorry," he replies, though I can almost sense the smirk on his face.

He totally meant to.

"When did you get back? I didn't hear you come in," I admit.

"Just now."

Add loss of hearing to the list of pregnancy symptoms.

"I swear, the things this baby is doing to me. Now I'm going def."

Aaron laughs lightly, tightening his hold hold on me, yet not in a constricting way. I close my eyes, savoring the moment as I feel the soothing motion of Aaron's thumb rubbing against my skin.

I think we're both already in love with this baby.

After a few minutes, Aaron gives me a kiss and starts setting up tables for the party. I offer to help, but obviously, he doesn't let me. I contribute on my part, which is baking the cookies.

I think I'm fully evolved into mom mode now.

After everything is set up, our friends and family start arriving. My mom walks off somewhere to set up the reveal, keeping it entirely hidden. Once she comes back with a big, round, black balloon attached to a string, I start getting anxious. Aaron walks up to my side, asking the most complicated question I could answer.

"What do you think it'll be?"

I can't answer that question very easily.

"I... I don't know." I lay my hand on my bump, as if that would help.

"You're the pregnant one, aren't you supposed to know these things?" Aaron laughs, putting his arm around my waist. I giggle.

"No, not really. I'm kind of thinking it's a boy... but at the same time, I also feel like it could be a girl. Because it could be either. Long story short, I don't know. What do you think?" I ask, looking over to observe his handsome face.

If this is a boy, it'll be one good looking boy. But I feel like with Aaron's genes, a girl would be drop dead gorgeous.

"I don't know... if I'm being honest, I think it'll be a girl."

"Really?"

"Yeah. I don't know, I just have a feeling."

"All right, everyone! Who's ready for this gender reveal?!" My mom shouts.

Everyone "yeah"s and "woo"s while I cling to Aaron for mental support. My mom motions for Aaron and I to come toward her, in front of everyone.

Everyone here is either a close friend or family member, so why am I so nervous?
