"You look stunning, Kelly dahling."

I looked at myself in the fully body mirror , as I stood in my room wearing the 2nd dress option for my gender reveal. I looked at the reflection of my room in the background , catch a glimpse of Kayla , who sat on my bed and watched excitedly . I smiled at her through my reflection and she got up and walked over, examining the dress. "We could make this part a littleeee tighter." she bit her lip and watched intently.

The white dress stopped at my knees, it had flared sleeves and was off the shoulder, with white fur around the neckline. I wanted the dress to be simple because my makeup is what I wanted to draw the attention.

"Now for shoes, I got you these white diamond encrusted pumps, with block heels because stilettos and grass do not mix." she waved her hands dismissively as she dug through a shopping bag and pulled out a pink shoebox. She turned and handed it over to me, I opened it and the diamonds on the shoes immediately sparkled in the sunlight. I smiled and Kayla gestured for me to try them on.

"Whew." I breathed deeply as I put the last shoe on. "Wow, Kay. I love them." I said as I looked in the mirror.

"Girls I don't mean to interrupt you." my mother walked in holding a catalog book and she got closer I seen various cakes on the pages. "So for the cake I was thinking one layer pineapple, the second will be strawberry, and the next will be butter cream. How's that?"

"Oooo Ma you think you can make something like that tonight?" I asked as Kayla joined by my side and waited for an answer. My mother laughed slightly. "Sure, but y'all greedy selves gone be right in that kitchen helping me."

"I heard 'cake'." Avery stuck his head in the room, then fixed his gaze on me. "Oooo girl.." he walked as rubbed his hands together , keeping his eyes on me. "You looking real nice today."

He stopped in front of my mother and we all burst out laughing. "Boy you is silly." I sat down and laughed to myself as I threw my leg over the other to get these shoes off. Avery rushed over and carefully took off my heels, bringing relief to my feet. "Tell me it's some flats in that bag Kayla." I say as he began to rub my swollen feet.

I laid on my side and realized how exhausted I was.

"Let's step out and let her rest, honey let me know if you need anything." my mother says as her voice went further and further away. I heard the door close and consequently, so did my eyes.

The Day of the Gender Reveal

I stood in the bathroom and stared at myself in the mirror. It was quiet upstairs, which was much needed because  the preparation for the gender reveal completely took over the livingroom, backyard, and kitchen.

I gagged and ran over to the toilet, then hunched over and threw up.

After 15 minutes of that and rinsing my mouth for the 3rd time again, I started my hair.

*phone rings* "Unknown Caller" Siri says.

I sucked my teeth and picked it up, then answered it.

"This a free call from Darla County Jail. To accept press "0". To reject this call press -"

"Who the hell is this calling me from jail? Pearl if this is you-" I put my flatiron down and turned away from the mirror.

"Kelly." a familiar male voice spoke to me and I froze.

"How did you get this number." I snarled and turned back around , slamming my hand on the counter.

"Ha. Mama love came through." Reese laughed and my blood started boiling, tears filled my eyes.

"Well you in jail, and she ain't. I should kill her, fuck is she giving you my shit for? But what is you actually using it for? Why are you calling me Reese?"

"Don't take it out on her she's just trying to help me get to you. I heard your gender reveal today. How are my babies?"

"Yours? Yours? Nigga ain't nothing in or on my body yours. Don't call this phone again."

"Come on.. they're mine. And whether you want to admit it or not, you are too. Even though you shot me, we can have the big family we talked abo-"

"Nigga. They may have your DNA.. but these babies will never be yours. And I'm glad you're in that cell. Stay away from me, stay away from my children." I pulled the phone away from my ear and hung up, then blocked the number.
