“Open this one” my mom urged as she passed me another gift.
I was surprised I didn’t go in labour the minute the lights turned on and everyone jumped out from their hiding places. I was nine months pregnant and due any minute now; I was as big as a blimp.
I unwrapped the gift and held up a matching bra and thong. I dropped it instantly and burst out in laughter with everyone else.
“It’s for after the baby is born” Kimberly laughed.
The front door of the venue opened and my future husband and Jason walked in pulling a stroller and car seat with a bow on them.
“Way-da be sly. You could have at least wrapped the damn thing.” Sara placed her hands on her hips and shook her head.
“That’s why there’s a bow” Jason retorted.
“It’s fine. Thanks guys
