"Oh my god!" Colby yelled and pulled me into him as I smiled at the pink water that was rushing down the rocks, "we're having a girl." I whimpered out, wrapping my arms around him, "you happy?" He whispered and kissed my head, "extremely. Are you?" He smiled and pulled away from me slightly, "happiest I have ever been." He said and kissed me.

"Come here!!" Devyn yelled with open arms as we turned to the group who was celebrating and blowing their party horns, I ran up and hugged Devyn, "that little girl is going to be so spoiled I can already tell." She said as we rocked back and forth, "I know, you're going to buy her so much clothes I can already tell." She laughed, "you're so right." She said as Tara pulled me into her, "another bad bitch in the house!!" She said and rubbed my belly causing me to laugh, "I can't wait to meet her." I said and smiled widely. "How did you keep this a secret for so long? And why did you tell jake to help you with the reveal?" I said and hugged Kat, "well I was gonna have Sam help me but I knew he wouldn't be able to keep it a secret from Colby so I got Jake to help and girl it was so hard to not tell you! I almost let it slip earlier." I smiled, "you're the best, you know that?" I said and hugged her again. "I know." She said and scrunched her nose as Sam drew me into his arms, "congratulations Cora!" He said and rocked me back and forth, "between you and I, I'm glad there's not gonna be a little Colby running around." I laughed and pulled away from him, "me too dude, that would have been crazy."

I made my way down the line of people, so much happiness was filling the air as we all talked. "Come here." Colby said and reached for my hand, "where are we going?" I said with a giggle as he led me to the food table, "I didn't think you would forget so quickly." he said causing my brows to scrunch with confusion. He turned quickly and smashed a cupcake in my face, "I won." He laughed out as I screamed playfully. "You're dead Brock!" I said and grabbed a cupcake, chasing him around the table,

"SAM HELP!" I yelled as Colby ran passed him. He instinctively reached out and grabbed Colby, giving me the chance to smash a cupcake onto his cheek, "Cupcake fight!!" Jake yelled and grabbed a cupcake, smashing it into Tara's face. "JAKE!" She whined and grabbed a cupcake, chasing after him. "Incoming!!!" Kat yelled and smashed one of my head. I giggled and grabbed a cupcake, running towards Kevin, he saw me and booked it in the other direction. "NO!!" I yelled and kept chasing him.

That's when I felt something in my stomach. It wasn't painful, but I could definitely feel it. "Oh my god." I breathed out with wide eyes. I had felt the baby kick before but this was insane, I stopped dead in my tracks and put my hand on my belly, feeling the kick from the outside. "Cora, you okay?" Kevin asked and jogged over, "y-yeah..COLBY!" I yelled catching his attention. "What's going on? Are you okay?" He said and jogged over. Kevin ran away as Aryia threw a cupcake at him.

I didn't say a word as Colby stepped up to me. I just grabbed his hand and held it to where the baby was currently kicking. His eyes widened and a giant smile formed on his face. He had never felt the baby kick before because it was never strong like this. I placed my free hand on his cheek as tears formed in his eyes. "T-that's our baby.." he whispered and I nodded, "that's our baby." I repeated.

We stood there for a second, just taking in this moment. She eventually stopped kicking, but we still stood there, lost in eachother. "I love you." Colby breathed out and cupped my cheek, "I love you, too." I said as he leaned down to kiss me.

"And I love this beautiful little girl so much already." He said and rubbed my belly.

It took forever to clean all of the frosting off of everything in the back yard, but eventually everyone went back inside to shower. We were going to watch a movie tonight and just relax since everything was going to get crazy again soon. The boys were going on a trip in the morning which meant that Kat, Devyn, Tara, and I would have the house to ourselves for a week.

I had a doctors appointment which made me sad because it was going to be the first one without Colby there, but Kat was really excited to come with me.

"Hey baby." Colby said coming out of the bathroom, with only a towel wrapped around his waist. "Hi." I said quietly and brushed my wet hair out. He just stared at me as he leaned against the doorframe, "what?" I giggled out and turned to him. "Nothing, you're just so beautiful. And I can't wait to have two beautiful girls in my life." He said as I got up and walked to him. "I'm so happy." I whispered and hugged him. "Me too baby, me too." He said and kissed the top of my head. "Can you believe we are really doing this?" I said as he walked into the closet to get dressed. "I can't. If you would have told me a year ago we would be here now I wouldn't have believed you at all." I heard him laugh as I laid on the bed.

I scrolled through my phone and watched all the stories of our gender reveal. Since we came back from North Carolina the fans have been way nicer and have actually warmed up to me. They didn't take the pregnancy all that well but warmed up to the idea of Colby being a dad.

Colby came out wearing a hoodie and sweatpants, "ready to go downstairs?" He said and walked over the bed. "Yeah, I need help." I said with a laugh and held my arms up so he could pull me up and off the bed.

I groaned and got to my feet, "I'm gonna be huge by the end of this." I said and laughed as we made our way downstairs.

"I'm mad at you!" Kat said and pointed at Colby, "woah, what did I do??" He said throwing his hands up in defense, "if YOU didn't decide to throw a cupcake in Cora's face then I wouldn't have frosting in my ear right now." She said and scowled playfully at Colby, "sorry Kat, but we had a bet, which Cora brought up so TECHNICALLY it's her fault." He said said causing me to gasp and hit his arm, "Don't throw me under the bus Colby!" I yelled as everyone laughed, "whatever, are you guys gonna sit down or is this the movie tonight?" Sam said and gestured to the three of us who were still standing in front of the screen. Colby grabbed my hand and we went to the empty couch in the back of the room.

I couldn't help but smile at how much I loved these people. I wasn't as scared about having this baby as I was before because everyone had stepped up and has been taking action to become the best aunts and uncles ever.

Sam and Kat have been reading baby books, Jake and Tara have been practicing not hating children so much by occasionally going to the park, Corey bought all the baby proofing stuff for the house months ago because he was so excited. And everyone has just been overall supportive.

One time I was craving icecream so bad but Sam and Colby were off doing a video and my car was in the shop, so Tara went to the store and bought almost every flavor they had. It was the sweetest thing ever and I was so lucky to have them all in my life. I loved where I was and how happy I was. Things were finally falling into place.
