September 1st

"We have the food, tables set up, games, we should be good" my mom smiled proudly.

I was forced to dress up.

Daniels girlfriend gave me an outfit to my moms request.

"I look very big" i looked at my reflection in the mirror.

"You kind of are" she pointed out.

She gave me a light yellow dress and put my hair back in a ponytail.

"Do you know what you're having?" She asked.

"No, I guess I'll find out today" I smile at her through the mirror.

"You'll make a great mom, Mase" she patted my shoulder and left me alone in my room.

I stepped into the black flats she sat in front of me and began to go out back where everyone else was at.

I looked around at the people my mom mostly invited and the three people I invited.

Darren was talking with my grandpa, Madison was playing hide and seek with all the little kids, Chance was running away from my younger cousins, and Daniel was talking with his girlfriend.

"Maisie! Whens your birthday?" My younger cousin Kylie asked me. She pushed her turquoise framed glasses up as she held a pen and paper.

"December first" I smiled as she wrote it down.

"Okay" she ran off to her mom.

I sat down on the plastic lawn chair at a table.

"Finally" Madison sat by me, out of breath.

"Huh?" I looked at her.

"I've been wanting to talk to you, but I'll tell you later" she took a drink from her bottled soda.

Chance joined us, then Darren.

"Have any of you seen my mom?" I asked while scanning over the people in my backyard.

"I think she went to grab something for you" Madison crossed her arms on the table. Chance had his arm resting on the back of her chair, and played with the ends of her hair.

I looked over at Darren who was being teased by my eleven year old cousins. They would lightly tug his hair and giggled.

I laughed at him, "You got some admirers"

He playfully smirked at me, "Are you jealous?"

"Totally" I rolled my eyes.

I heard a bell being rung, but it was loud and sounded rough. I looked towards the house and seen my mom walking towards the group of people.

"I've set up some games to do" she smiled.

Daniel and his girlfriend brought out rolls and rolls of toilet paper.

"Rules are, you use the whole roll of toilet paper to make a diaper on your partner" Daniel came around giving each table three rolls, "the winners get gift baskets" she pointed to the deck that had two tote baskets filled with goodies.

"Get a partner"

I looked at Madison, "Be my partner"

"Sorry Chase and Darren, sisters before misters" she grabbed a roll of toilet paper and walked to where my mom told us to be lined up.

Chance and Darren stood next to us, "You're going down" Chance pointed down for emphasis.

After everyone who wanted to play got in line, i heard my mom yell go.

Madison quickly started wrapping a "diaper" around where a diaper should be.

The toilet paper was cheap and one ply, so it kept ripping.

We were almost done until I looked over at the boys who were almost done with their roll.

Madison was working her hardest, going around and between my legs with the roll. The tricky part was that my belly kept getting in the way.

I quickly swatted the toilet paper from Chance and threw it behind me.

"Cheater!" Chance yelled after he he ran to grab it.

Madison was almost done, but the boys were faster.

Chance threw the roll down in triumph as everyone stopped and looked.

I observed Chance's diaper on Darren.

"That doesnt even look like a diaper! It looks like a skirt!" Madison complained to my mom.

"They win" she smiled. Daniel brought over the totes to the table. Darren started looking through his.

"This is just hygiene stuff, and i dont need tampons or pads" he dug around making me giggle.

"What did you expect?" I asked.

He shook his head, "I don't know"

Something was bugging Darren. I grabbed his hand. He adverted his eyes to mine.

"Are you okay?" I asked him. His eyes showed anger.

"Yeah, I just- my mom has a boyfriend person" he ran his fingers through his sandy colored hair. He licked his lips and stared off in the distance.

"Did he do anything to you? Or to your mom?" I whispered.

"No. I just- it's weird" he sighed.

"It'll be okay" I rubbed his arm.

He intertwined our hands and looked at me.

"Okay" he slightly smiled. His eyes were looking more green today.

I looked at my mom who was setting up the gender reveal part.

"Silly string?" I questioned. Darren looked at my mom too.

"Gender reveal time!" She shouted catching everyones attention.

I stood up, still holding Darren's hand, and waddled to the table my mom had the silly string set.

"You each grab a can and whenever you're ready spray each other" she smiled like she was going to cry.

I placed my hand on my belly, letting Darren go on the other side of the table. I grabbed the can and took off the cap. Darren did the same.

I smiled at him, feeling like i couldnt wait.

"One..." I smiled.

"Two..." He smiled.

"Three!" We both yelled as we sprayed each other with the silly string. I closed my eyes and opened when I felt Darren wasn't spraying his anymore. I looked at the silly string we were both covered in.

It was pink.

Darren came over and hugged me as I became emotional. I heard my family cheer.

"They're girls!" My mom yelled which earned even more cheering.

The feeling I felt was happiness.

My babies are girls.

I pulled away from Darren. His eyes were watering.

"We're having girls" I repeated smiling.

"We're having daughters" he smiled at me. He kissed me in celebration.

We pulled away and i looked behind me at Madison and Chance. Chance handed her something as he rolled his eyes and she did a victory dance.
