“This has to be the best baby shower I’ve ever been to.” Mona comes over and sits down. “There aren’t even games. High-five for that,” she says, kissing Nick on the lips and then sitting down next to him.
“Dad,” Aiden yells, “I’m going to ride the pony!” And runs off with my father following him. My mother is sitting at the table with her sister laughing up a storm.
“Hey, guys!” I hear Eli say when she gets to my side. My hand goes around her waist, and I bring her closer to me, kissing her belly. We found out that we are having twin girls. We had a huge gender reveal party at our house, and our mothers cheered the loudest. Aiden was not amused that he was getting girls, because according to him, girls are gross. “Hi, my love,” she says to me and runs her hand through my hair.
“Eli, you look amazing,” Jason says. “I can’t believe you are having twins.”
“I can’t believe he is point zero three people in the world to beat the birth control pill,” Nick says, shaking his head.
“What about the two percent to beat the condom?” Jason asks while he chews.
“I’m going to say I have super sperm,” I say, getting up and giving Eli my chair and then walking to the next table for an empty chair.
“You guys are like rabbits,” Nick says. “You look at her, and she gets knocked up.”
“Don’t be jealous.” I wink at him, and Mona laughs and kisses him.
“Who would have thought that a weekend cruise would bring us full circle,” Jason says, leaning back. “Eli, I have to say thank God he found you again. He was one step from becoming a priest.”
“You lie!” Nick shouts. “He was a priest.”
I grab Eli’s hand and bring it to my mouth. “When you know, you know.”
“I think my balls just shriveled and went up,” Nick says, and Mona slaps his arm.
“You could use some points on how to say romantic things.”
“I say romantic things all the time,” Nick tells her.
“‘Come to daddy’ and ‘say hello to my little friend’ are not romantic.”
“It’s a big friend,” Nick huffs. “Say hello to my big friend.” He looks around and then at Eli. “I have a big dick.”
“Oh, God,” Jason and Tom both moan.
“He tried to get us to have a measuring contest,” Tom says, clapping his hands together and laughing.
“They all lost,” Nick says, shrugging
“We didn’t lose; you were just the only one who did it,” Jason says.
“And my dick scared them all.” He then looks at Mona. “Tell her how big it is.”
“Go away,” she says while she eats a piece of cake. And we all laugh as we spend the afternoon together, and I couldn’t be happier.
The sun starts to set, and the tables are being loaded up into the truck, and I sit on a white chair with Eli next to me and Aiden on my lap. “We are going to need to get a moving van for all those gifts.” I point at the overwhelming mountain of gifts people brought.
“Who knew two of everything would equal that?” Eli says, and she winces just a bit.
“Are you okay?” I ask her, and she shrugs. “I’ve been having back pain all day. I think I overdid it with standing on my feet.” I grab my phone and google back pain.
“You could be having contractions,” I tell her, and she glares at me. “Um, Google knows everything.”
“Does Google know I’m going to shove my foot up your ass?” she says and then puts her hand on her belly, rubbing it. She has done this pregnancy like a fucking champ, and after she got over the morning sickness, she felt amazing. The doctors want the twins to stay in as long as possible, but I mean they are already over six pounds each. “The babies agree with me.” I lean over and kiss her, and right before my lips touch her, a pail of water falls on my feet.
“What the hell was that?” I ask her.
“I think that would be my water,” she says, and she looks at me. Her eyes go wide, and I can see some fear in her eyes.
“Oh my God.” My hands fly to my head. “Mom, Dad!” I shout, and all four heads turn to me. “Her water broke.” I start to panic and turn to walk away, but then I turn back.
“Her water broke. Are you in pain?” I put my hand on her stomach. “Someone call an ambulance. Should I pick you up?” I ask her, but then another gush of water comes out, completely soaking my feet, and I don’t even think about where that water came from.
“Oh my God. Siri,” I start to ask the phone, and she snatches it out of my hand and throws it to the ground, the sound of my screen shattering. “Was that necessary?” I ask her, and she just glares at me. Our parents are now running toward us.
