Alice and Fp story

Chapter 100- gender reveal

"Wait you two can not come over here yet!" Betty yelled rushing over to us. "You told us to be here by two... It's two fifteen." FP chuckled and looked at his watch. "I know, but we are waiting for one more guest..."                          "It's ok if they are late. You  probably don't know them anyway." I smiled. Betty nodded and lead the way. I grabbed FP's hand keeping him close. "Well this is it." There were pink and blue streamers hanging from every canopy. The big box with the balloon holding the gender was placed right in the center. The gift table was surprising full. I didn't expect gifts considering no one knows the gender, but I guess that's what gender neutral clothing is for. "It is perfect Betty, thank you." I smiled and brought her into a hug.  "Only the best for the best." She smiled as FP brought her into a hug next. "So I have a surprise for you, but please don't start crying." Jug chuckled and stepped aside. "Grandma!" Two screaming toddlers ran my way. "Oh...your home!" My heart exploded and dropped to my knees to hug them. "I've missed you so much." I sniffed and wiped my tears. "You have mommy's belly." Juniper chuckled and patted my stomach. I looked confused for a second until Polly arrived. "Hi mom." She smiled and wiped a tear. "Where have you been?" I ran and caught her in a hug. "And with who?" I raised my eyebrow. "My...husband."  She smiled nervously. "You have been gone for like six monthes and your married?"
"Yes mom. And I have a feeling you will love him." She smiled and placed her hands on my shoulders. "We can talk later."  I smiled and lead FP over to out other guest.  "Our kids really out did themselves." Hermione chuckled and brought me into a hug. "I think they invited the whole town.  I 'm just surprised this many people came." I laughed and hug Fred as he joined us.  "The gift is from both Hermione and I." He pointed to the large box.  "You two outdid yourself." FP looked at the two.  "Your our best friends.  We had to." He shrugged.  I looked around for Charles, but didn't see him anywhere.  I frowned before FP turned me around.  The tall blond boy was walking to us, with a girl with auburn hair.  The girl from the apartment.  "I'm so glad you came." I smiled as he hugged me.  I was surprised at first, but quickly wrapped my arms around him. "I just figured it would be a nice way to...get to know you." Charles shyly smiled. "And Who May this young lady be?" FP questioned already falling into father mode. "This is my wife Abby." He smiled and hooked an arm around her waist. "It's nice to meet you...again." I chuckled. "And I hope we see each other a lot more." She smiled. "Well enjoy the food and snacks. Your sisters are the two blondes, the young brown haired one, and your brother is the one with the beanie on." FP pointed out each kid. "Thanks. Do they know I'm here?"
"Um not really. They saw your name on the list, they know the name, but not the face, so take it light." I chuckled and he nodded. They wandered off to the snack table and FP and I sat down at a table. "You getting tiered baby?" He sat down beside me and rubbed my back. "A little, but my feet and back hurt." I sighed and leaned into him. "Well, sit for awhile and then we can maybe pop the ballon." He raised his eyebrow and I smiled. "I can't wait!" I squealed and FP chuckled. Betty decided that she was going to pick some random gifts of the table and let FP and I open a few since everything was gender neutral. Well, almost everything. "JB what if it's a boy?" Jug questioned as he held up a bright pink onesie. "Then I wasted my money, but I'm not returning it until you give birth because people make mistakes all the time." She huffed and sat down beside my chair. "I love it." I smiled and squeeze her hand. "Wendy what are you doing here?" FP asked as she wheeled herself in a open spot. "You think I am actually going to miss this...don't be stupid Forsythe." Wendy rolled her eyes and I laughed. "This is from...Charles." Betty let out a small gasped and looked out among our guests. "Betty now is not the time." I gritted out as I saw her make eye contact. She shook her head and handed me the gift. It was a small handmade blanket that looked awfully familiar. I flipped it over and found FP and I's initials. I felt myself instantly start to tear up. I looked to Charles to see him swiping a tear away. I mouthed an 'I love you' and he mouthed it back. I kept the blanket near me the rest of the party never letting go. A couple months into my first pregnancy. I started knitting a blanket and finished it at the sisters. I gave charles this when he was born and hoped he had kept it forever. We opened up a few other gifts getting some grey and soft colored onesies. "You have to open ours!" Fred yelled from the back making everyone turn to him. I rolled my eyes as the kids carried it over to us. It was definitely the biggest one here. I let FP open this one. It was a grey changing table with a red flannel pattern changing pad. "Perfect for the nursery theme." Hermione smiled. "We have a theme?" FP looked over at me confused. I chuckled and nodded, patting his cheek. "A woodsy theme." I smiled and he nodded. "Alright, now for the moment we have all been waiting for." Veronica smiled and brought FP and I over to the box. Jughead opened the box carefully letting a big black ballon rise. "Dad take your pocket knife and pop it when were ready." FP listened and opened the knife. I wrapped my hand around it and his hand went around mine. Betty, Veronica, Jughead, Polly, and Charles all had cannons. "3...2...1!" Betty screamed and I pushed the knife into the balloon. We looked up as it popped and watched the blue confetti spill out. The kids pulled the canons and blue powder exploded over everyone. "It a boy!" Everyone cheered screaming. I looked over to JB who had a smile on her face, but I could tell she was disappointed. I grabbed her hand and brought her into my side. "Your dad and I kinda wanted a girl to." I chuckled into her ear. She busted out laughing and so did I. "I guess we have to except it." She shrugged with a smirk. "So were all happy now right?"
"I'm all good Ali." She smiled and kissed my cheek heading back to the teens. "We're having a boy!" FP smiled and wrapped his arms around my middle. "A baby boy." I smiled and brought my lips to his. Tasting a hint of the baby powder on our lips.
