After Pairs

The Gender Reveal

We walk into the doctor's room and I lay on the bed. The white walls make the room look bright. We wait in silence for the doctor to come. Adam looks at me and smiles. He take my hand and kisses it. "What do you think it is?" He asks me softly. The warm aircon pounds on me. A window creaked open a little, letting in the sweet smell of fresh air. Adam is dressed very fancy today. In a black long sleeve shirt, black jeans, a belt and black leather shoes. His hair is gelled to one side. His bead combed and trimmed. "I want it to be a girl but I feel like it's a boy." I say. "What about you?"
"I think it's a girl but I don't care what it is. Along as it's healthy, I'm happy." As he finishes his sentence that doctor walks in. "Hi Tia and Adam. I'm sorry that I'm late. I was just on the phone with Mickayla, I got your email too. Ready to get started." Doctor Gunn asks. Adam and I had made a pact that the gender reveal would be a surprise for the party. Mickayla is taking care off it. "Yeah." I lift up my shirt to reveal my small baby bump. Doctor Gun rubs some cream on my belly then presses the ultrasound on. He moves it around a bit until we hear a heart beat. "Omigod." I cry. It's beautiful, it's amazing, you would never think that it would be that special but it really is. "Alright I've found the gender." He says.
"Ok." I say. Adam and I turn our head so we can't see the machine. He scribbles something on a piece of paper and then folds it. "We're all done." He says turning off the machine. I sit up and take the towel that Doc offers me. I wipe my belly then put down my shirt. I stand up and Doc hands me a piece of paper. "This is the gender." He tell us. "I will email Mickayla as well. I'll see you guys in two weeks for your next check up. Don't worry the baby is fine, for now."
"Thank you, bye." Adam and I say in sync. We walk out and I turn around to Adam and scream. "What." He laughs.
"I'm just so happy." I tell him.
" Me too." He hugs me.

It's been three day later and today's the day. I'm putting on my makeup and getting ready for the party. I put the highlighter on the brush, I then apply it to my noes. I grab the setting spray and spray it on. I walk back out to the bedroom to find Adam all dressed up in a baby pink suit. I smile and walk over to you. "You look very handsome." I tell him. "Thanks but I can't get this dam tie on." He says struggling. I laugh. "What? Its not funny!" He complains. I take the tie and tie it. "You look beautiful." He whispers. "Thanks." I says giving him a hug. "Wait to you see my dress!" I tell him.
"Ok, well I'm gonna go get the car running while you get dressed, it's cold out there." He say. He walks out and I get my baby blue dress that is flower designed and put it on. I then put my hair up into a half up half down do. I walk out t the lounge room and grab my white purse, that has my keys, phone and lipstick in it. I then lock the apartment door. I decided to walk down the stairs to try to get some exercise. I get to the car and Adam is waiting for me. "Your look amazing." He says giving me a kiss. He opens the door and I get in. He get in the car on the other side and buckles up. He drives us off the Mickayla place, were the gender reveal is going to be held.

We arrive and Mickayla is the best, she made the party look amazing. I hope out of the car and walk to the gate. I open it and get welcomed by many people, Mickayla, Riley, Charlie, Luke and Harry. They all give me a hug, while I say, "Ohmigod, MK this place look amazing." There's four tables, one with present, one with drinks and two with food or about to have food. The table clothes are pink and the plates, decor stuff and other stuff, on top of the table are blue. There's blue and pink balloons, streamers, baby stuff and people everywhere. Everyone is where either pink or blue but there is a lot more pink then blue. I walk out with Adams hand in mine on one side and Charlie's in the other. I walk over to one of the barrels that are placed around the whole yard. I sit next to Justine and Sarah, who have been dating for a very long time. They want to adopt a child because they can't decide who they want to have the baby, so there just going to adopt. "Hey guys, how are you? Thank you so much for coming."I tell them.
"Were good. It's our pleasure, we don't won't to rain on your parade today but we have some exciting new to tell you... that's if you want?" Sarah says.
"Oh that's good, what is it?" I ask.
"We found a child to adopt!" Justine yells out.
"That's wonderfull." I tell them. They smile at each other then kiss. Adam goes over to the drink table and get my a lemonade. He comes back with a p,ant full of food. "Here." He says.
"Thanks." I take one of the many foods, a brownie. As soon as the finish the brownie Ella my old next door neighbour comes over and gives me a hug from behind. I turn around a give her a proper hug. "Hey, how are you?" She asks.
"Good." I say. "Thanks for coming. Mickayla did all of this up and I can't even believe how she did this, there's a freaking stage." I tell her.
"I know it's crazy cool." She says. "I see we both think the baby's a boy." She points to her blue see-though top. "Yeah but there's and lot of people think it's a girl." I says.
"I know right, well I let others people catch up with you, I'll see ya later." She says, as more and more people come over. She gives my hand a squeeze as she walks away and winks.
It's been  two hours now and I've goon around to see all the, 36 guest. As I sit down MK walk on stage. "Hello everyone  and welcome." She talks into the microphone. "We are all going to see what the baby is, now." Everyone starts clapping and she gestures for Adam and I to come up. We get up and and walk over to the stage. Adam helps me up, seeming there's no stairs. I walk over to MK and she says, to everyone. "Scream out when I says what gender you think it's is." She yells out boy and about 13 people screamed out, including me. She yells out girl and a lot of people scream out, 23 in total, including Adam. Riley comes on stage with two big black balloons. "Alright guys, this is the time everyone's been waiting for." MK says as I take one balloon and Adam take the other. I grabs two pins and put them in my fingers, ready to pop the balloons. Adam does the same. "On the count of three." She say. "Three..." Everyone joins in. "Two... One..." When I hear the word one I quickly pop the big black balloon with the two pins. Out comes some confetti and it's... pink coloured. "Were having a girl." I scream jumping on Adam. He gives me and kiss then puts me down, carefully. He kisses my stomach, where the baby is. Then gives me another kiss. "Ohmigod, I can't believe we're haven' a girl." I say whipping the tears away.

The night ways amazing, we all haves so much fun and it was get to find out we are having a girl. It's been and long night so Adam is driving. I look out to the full moon and smile. I jump to the sound of my phone. "Its Dad." I says out loud. I fell Adam tense around my hand. "He says. 'I headed you guys are having a girl, congratulations. Look forward to meeting her. Love you, night.'" I don't know what to says.
"Why the he'll does he think he has a part of my baby girls future!" He yells.
"Baby. Calm down, what should I say." He doesn't answer. I send back 'Thanks but I don't know if I'm going to see you anytime soon.'
He quickly text back, 'I know but I still love you and I'm sorry.'  This all most made me cry. I know he has done some terrible things in life but he's my dad...
