Pipe Dreams

The Foxes were gathered in the lounge chatting amongst their respective groups as they waited for Wymack's game plan against the Bearcats. Neil was still upset about sitting on the sidelines, but he'd just have to deal with it. After a few minutes of idle chatter, Andrew noticed Reynolds perk up as Walker spoke from the corner of his eye.

Allison directed her sharp gaze from Renee, past Andrew, then finally to Neil. "So Neil, Baby, a little birdie told me the big gender reveal appointment is coming up." She had a mischievous grin on her perfectly made up face, the same look she gets when there's a possibility of a bet. Neil shifted a bit in his spot next to Andrew. Something told Andrew his little rabbit knew where his bestie was going with this too.

Dr. Anderson decided to try for the sex reveal at two months since Neil's pregnancy had been running smoothly so far. Neil's baby bump had become a bit hard to conceal within the last couple of months; that being one reason the doctor wanted to try now.

"Yeah Alli, It's Saturday." The tenth Fox muttered in response, shifting again. He still wasn't really comfortable talking about his pregnancy in front of the freshman, sans Robin of course. Allison raised a beautifully manicured brow to accompany her grin. "That's tomorrow baby cakes, so y'all better start placing your bets fast then. $100 each?" Andrew and Neil rolled their eyes in unison.

Before they could make any protests to bets being made on their child, Nicky squealed. "Girl! I bet girl! Oh my god, just imagine how cute she'd be." Everyone winced at his high-pitched excited whines echoing in their relatively close proximity. Jack rolled his eyes after recovering, smartly keeping his mouth shut this time around.

Andrew side eyed Neil with his own mischievous look. If you could call a devilish glint in his hazel eyes a look. Neil narrowed his own blue ones, knowing exactly how to spot and identify his mate's micro-expressions.

Neil had still been insisting it was a girl. His answer to Andrew's 'And how do you know that, Rabbit?' response was always the same, 'I just sense it, Drew.' So, just to be contrary, Andrew spoke up without removing his gaze from Neil's. "Boy." He said with a smirk.

The one word managed to shut everyone up for a few seconds, which is a record really. Andrew and Neil never bet. Neil narrowed his eyes even more, still never breaking eye contact with Andrew. "Girl." He said with a smirk of his own. From the corner of Neil's eye he could see Allison's stunned expression had returned to its previous mischief.

"Never thought I'd see the day Neil Josten and his pet monster joined a bet. I'm very proud. They grow up so fast, huh Matt?" The immaculate blonde teased. Matt nodded in agreement with his million watt smile, high-fiving Allison. Neil finally broke their challenging eye contact to glare at Allison for her 'monster' comment. "Alli." He warned. She put her hands up in surrender.

"Yeah yeah. Any more takers?" She prompted the others as she rested her freshly manicured cherry red nailed hand on Renee's crossed legs. Allison's other hand brought out her phone, pink jeweled case sparkling in the light, opening up her notes for documentation. So far having three, counting herself, for girl and one for boy.

Matt and Dan ended up both saying girl while Renee and Robin sided with boy. Renee earned herself a playful glare from Allison for her mate's 'betrayal'.  After a moment of having seven sets of eyes on him (Aaron was texting his cheerleader) Kevin mumbled his vote for a boy before turning back to his notes on the Bearcats. The only person who hadn't said anything besides the freshmen (minus Robin) was Andrew's dear ol' twin. Andrew slid his brother an amused look that to nearly anyone else would look like his regular disinterest, before fully turning to look at him.
