"I'm still mad that you didn't let me know the gender." Demi said with a mug as we sat in the waiting room chairs.

"Well Dems for 1, I want you to be surprised too, and 2, you can't keep a secret to save your soul."

I was able to find out the gender of my baby at the appointment a few days ago, but neither August or I wanted to know what it was yet. I didn't want Demi to know because the simple fact that she can't keep a secret, but I wanted whoever was going to know the gender to be able to be a party planner, which is why I got Chandra to do it. Party planning is like her. calling.

We're in the waiting room of the clinic right now because we were by her house and she wanted us to come to the store with her to get some last minute stuff for the reveal today. She called my doctor and was told the gender of the baby over the phone, but now she's able to get the envelope. She wasn't going to come get it but I told her the baby pictures were in there.

"Yes I can." She said after her dramatic gasp.

"You really can't."

"Whatever."

After a few more minutes of waiting, Chandra finally came out with the envelope. She smiled when she saw us and came over, waving it in our face. This girl here.

"Smell it cause this the closest you gonna be to it until after the reveal." She said before walking away.

"I mean we rode with you but go off." Demi playfully rolled her eyes and got up.

"You right." She put the envelope in her purse and clenched it tightly between her arms, not wanting us to look without permission. "Lets go."

I shook my head and followed her out of the clinic, going to the car. We all got in and I got on my phone to pass by the time. When we got to the store, we got out and went in.

"Wait why we in here again?" I asked.

"Because I need more cups and table cloths."

"Oh okay."

"You got the cake already?"

"I told August to get it but he probably didn't."

I pulled out my phone and called him on FaceTime. It rang a few times before it showed August's face across on the screen.

Man, he's so fuckin handsome.

"Hey baby."

"Wassup."

"Wait I forgot what I wanted to say."

"You just wanted to hear my voice huh?" He smirked.

"I mean that too, but I forgot just that fast."

"About the cake." Chandra laughed.

"Oh yeah did you get the cake?"

"W-yeah."

"No you didn't."

"I did. Well I'm on my way there."
