Chapter: The Gender Reveal – Boy Meets Girl
(AUTHOR'S POV)
Five months pregnant.
Jay was officially in her fifth month.
Baby Raspberry growing strong.
Kicking.
Moving.
Making its presence known.
Mica was now three and a half months pregnant.
Baby Strawberry growing too.
Smaller.
But perfect.
And today—
Today was the day.
The gender reveal.
Both babies.
Same day.
Double the surprise.
Double the chaos.
Double the love.

The Morning – Watson Mansion
Jay woke up in Keifer's arms.
Blue beside her.
Keifer's hand on her belly.
Always.
She stretched.
Felt a kick.
Smiled.
"Baby Raspberry is awake."
Keifer's hand moved.
Felt it too.
His eyes widened.
Every time.
Like the first time.
"Hi, baby."
He whispered.
"Good morning."
Another kick.
Right where his hand was.
He laughed.
Soft.
Warm.
"Strong one."
Jay nodded.
"Like his father."
He blinked.
"His?"
She shrugged.
"Feels like a boy."
"But we'll see."
He kissed her head.
"Boy or girl."
"Healthy."
"Happy."
"That's all."
She smiled.
"Good answer."
