Baby Stark Gender Reveal

Sorry this chapter is so short... I thought this video would probably have been kept short and sweet, so I didn't make the chapter very long.

The video opens to cursive letters curling across the screen.

Baby Stark Gender Reveal 2018

The letters disappear.

The camera is close-up on a dessert table filled with Gold and blue cupcakes. The camera pans down the table to show lots more desserts and snacks in gold and blue, as well as balloons. It pans across the room, showing the team, May, Ned, and MJ, everyone wearing either gold or blue.

Tony is the only person in the frame.

"So," he says, grinning lightly. "It's time for the gender reveal. Not even me and Pepper know what it is yet, so... it's a surprise for everyone. We didn't want to do the traditional pink and blue, so we each picked a color. Gold is for boy, blue is for girl. We told everyone to wear a color based on what they think it's gonna be. So... let's find out what everyone thinks?"

Everyone is lined up in front of the camera. In blue is Natasha, Wanda, Clint, Rhodey, Pepper, May, Ned, Bucky, and Steve. In gold is Sam, Vision, Thor, Bruce, Tony, MJ, Peter, Scott, and Happy. Chloe has a little blue bow on her head, and is being held by Peter. Lady has a gold bow, and is being held by MJ.

"They've decided to go the boring route," Peter whispers to the camera. "They're popping a balloon, and confetti in the color of the gender is gonna fall out. I mean, they're going traditional, so that's cool, but still. I said Tony should have flown across New York and blown smoke out of his suit in the color, but no. They thought that would be too dramatic, and that they should just stick with the balloon. They're about to pop it, so... let's go find out if I'm gonna have a brother or a sister!"

Tony and Pepper are both standing beside a large black balloon covered in question marks, holding large needles.

"We're gonna count down!" Peter calls out. "Pop it when we get to zero. Ready?"

Everyone joins in counting.

"Three!"

"Two!"

"One!"

Tony and Pepper read up in unison and pop the balloon. Blue confetti rains down, and the team erupts into cheers. Tony and Pepper hug and kiss. Tony appears to be crying. Peter runs forward to hug them. The frame is covered in darkness, but sounds are still audible, and Tony's voice can be heard. He's definitely crying.

"It's a baby girl! We're having a little girl!"

Cursive letters flow across the screen once more.

Get ready to meet Baby Stark, my little sister.

Of course, you all already knew what was gonna happen, but still. It was a surprise for the Starks. And the team. And it was fun to write, even though I wrote it in, like, ten minutes.
