"It's the easiest and cheapest idea Jade and I can come up with," Zamari says at the door with a giant black box.
Zamari is wearing a black shirt and some jeans. Jade was in some black leggings and a brown cardigan. She's still in crutches and Zamari helps her in while holding the giant black pinata box.
"No, it's totally fine! I love the idea," I say grabbing the box from Zamari.
"I was thinking of making a cake, but this bonehead didn't let me see the picture," Jade walks in and I laugh. I move to the side and let her find a comfortable spot on the couch.
I let Zamari in and rush to the kitchen to flip the chicken on the stove. I'm wearing a simple maroon long sleeve dress and black flats. My hair is half up and I feel like I'm eventually going to put it all the way up cuz it's so hot.
"Ana, the tables are ready," Esme pops her head from the backyard door.
"Good, the chicken is almost ready and the rice is ready to be served. Did my mom put up the candy?" I ask.
"She did. She actually did a really good job at it, I'm excited!" She says.
"Good! Do me a favor and take pictures," I say handing her my phone. She takes it from my hand and goes back outside.
"Staci, is the food almost ready?" Strella walks into the kitchen. She's wearing a shirt-like grey dress with some black leggings underneath.
"Almost, I just have to serve it. Is Adrian here?" I ask.
"Need help?" Zamari interrupts us.
"Uh, yeah, I'll serve the food and can you just take the food outside to the tables?" I ask. He nods and takes the first 2 plates out the door. I look back at Estrella and wait for a response.
"He said he's right around the corner. His mom and sister are coming, is that okay?" she asks.
"Yeah, of course. It's your party! Anyways, go enjoy yourself. I think Kayla and Lupe are outside with mom," I say.
"Okay, thank you!" She screeches and comes to my side and gives me a kiss.
Zamari walks in and out of the door taking the food over. Once all of the plates are out I walk over to the couch to help Jade up.
"There, dinner is served. I hope you're hungry," I say and she chuckles.
"Oof, tell me about it," she says and pushes herself off the couch. "Are you guys expecting more people?" She asks moving to the back door.
"Not that I know of. Julian is sad that Amari couldn't come, so he went over to his friend's house. He said he wants to be surprised with a boy the day Estrella gives birth," I say rolling my eyes.
"Do you think it's going to be a boy?"
"Honestly, I don't know. I wouldn't mind either and I think it'll be cute for Jullian to have another little friend to play with, but I can also see Estrella having a little girl," I say. "What do you think she's having?"
"I think she's having a boy. Zamari didn't let me see the ultrasound but I have a feeling it's going to be," she says.
"We'll see then," I say smiling, finally in the backyard.
The backyard is pretty small. The floor is all dirt but we put a white plastic sheet to avoid the flying sand everywhere. We were able to fit 3 pull out tables with 6 chairs on each table. In one of the table, I see Esme, Naomi, Dante, Noah, Freddie, and Zamari sitting. I lead Jade to the table and help her find a seat. I pull out a chair so I can sit with them.
