My Roommate

Part 29: Gender Reveal

It's been two weeks since we got the envelope containing the genders of our babies. Today we are at my house in Texas for the gender reveal. Ash's parents and Reagan was able to come down. Janet is also supposed to meet us here once she gets off the boat. We've had addie for almost three weeks. She's been a little difficult here and there but she's such a smart little girl. She adores ash and he adores her as well.

My 20 week ultrasound went great. The twins were in a good spot that made it easy for her to tell the genders. I was measuring a week early with the twins.

"Alright everyone, it's time." My dad says and brings out two balloons. We took the envelope to the shop and they had filled up the balloons with the correct gender. When we pop them either pink or blue powder and glitter will come out.

Ash grabs the balloons from my dad and me and him walk up in front of everyone. They all have their video cameras on us. "3,2,1..." my dad yells and at 1 I reach up and pop the balloon ash is holding. Blue glitter and powder cover his white shirt.

There's a few screams and congratulations before I count down again. Everyone looks back up to see ash popping the balloon that I was holding. Blue powder and glitter spill onto my shirt and hair. I smile widely and jump into ash's arms. He catches me and kisses me.

"Surprise!" I smile to the group that is made up of mine and ash's family. Everyone looks confused at us before ash speaks up.

"We wasn't blessed with just one boy but two. It's twins." He says with a proud smile on his face. Everyone starts clapping and screaming. Kayley runs up and gives me a hug, Reagan soon after.

Luke comes over and hugs me as well. "Mel says congrats and she's sorry she couldn't be here." Luke says. I nod and say it's fine. Mel was staying at the hospital with her grandma who had fallen down a few stairs. She was going to be okay just sore.

My parents are next and they hug both me and ash. "I should've guessed, you are double the size I was." My mom laughs. I just blush at her. My dad congratulates ash on having two boys to be able to raise.

Ash's mom and dad come next bringing addie. His mom hugs me and whispers into my ear. "I'm so happy ash found you. I was afraid I'd never get grandchildren from him but now I get two." She pulls back and smiles at me before hugging her son. His dad also hugged me and gave ash a pat on the back.

"Why isn't Janet here yet? She said she would get off the boat at 8 this morning and be here to get addie." Ash asks his parents.

"I'm not for sure son. I've tried calling her but there's no answer." His dad says. Ash just nods and we walk over to the dessert table. We each get a slice of cake and eat.

After a while my family started to leave and all that was left were mine and ash's parents, Luke, kayley, Reagan, and addie. Janet still hasn't showed up.

"It's great to finally meet y'all." My mom said while talking to ash's parents.

"Same here." His dad spoke. I was glad our families were getting along.

"We really need to get going so we can get back before midnight. Have you tried calling Janet anymore?" Ashs dad asked.

"I tried a few times and it went to voicemail. She should have been here already." Ash says. I can hear a little worry in his voice.

"I'll try a few more times." Luis said. He walked away to try and call but came back after a minute. "Still nothing."

"You guys can go ahead and leave. We are staying the night here anyways we can wait on Janet. Just tell me if you hear something." Ash spoke and his parents nodded before getting in their car and heading off.
