Jisei snickered at Missy’s statement. “Maybe he can plan yours.”
“Who?” Missy cut into her steak, feeding it to Essex instead of herself. “We got three. You know how hectic it is having three kids on tour? Baby, no. Thank God for Discovery because chile…”
“I thought y’all had the nanny?” Ezio asked.
“You know Josephine is loyal to Discover. She back here, helping with the twins. She recommended her niece, so we shall see if she works out once she starts.”
Jisei shook her head. “I’m sorry, boo. I’ll send you someone that I turned down. I interviewed a few who were all great, but I could only choose one. I think two were willing to travel.”
Once most people were finished eating, guests were pulled from the table one by one to give their guesses on video of what we thought the baby would be. By the time I got back to my seat, I was excusing myself again. I went inside, bypassing the hanging dicks, to the first available bathroom to wash my hands. Locking the door, I pulled Solana’s phone back out, and saw she still hadn’t sent any texts or audio messages. Pulling my phone from my pocket, I went back to the camera app, and still, something was covering it. I hadn’t known Solana’s ass was that strong to launch some shit at the camera to cover it. I guess I had myself to blame for those intense-ass workouts.
Locking the screen, I stuffed the phones back into my pocket, opting out of texting Italian to give me an update. I dodged two more hanging dicks, grabbed a water bottle on the way out, and took my seat again. The plates had been cleared from the tables, and the money waitresses were handing out white towels and spray bottles full of rubbing alcohol.
“Thank y’all so much for being here! Most of all, thank you, Daddy, for this! I would have never thought this is what you came up with when I asked you to plan. But it’s perfect.”
Nel grumbled.
“I have been told that the reveal is about to happen so here we go, everyone!” Pia passed the mic to Nel, who declined. She shoved it into his hand anyway, and he simply said, “Thanks for coming.”
A loud engine rumbled to the right of us, and seconds later, there was a plane with a banner attached. Pulling a phone frommy pocket, I went to the camera app and pressed record. The plane neared us, and the people seated at the far end of the yard began cheering. Once the plane was directly over us, we all could see the banner, which revealed the gender.
It’s a girl!
The entire backyard erupted in cheers at the pink sign with brown letters as the plane flew away. I panned the camera to Pia, who was jumping up and down, and Nel, who was smiling so big, I could see every tooth in his mouth.
Hearing another plane, I turned the phone back toward the sky.
It’s another girl!
“What!”
“Twins?”
“I fucking knew it!”
Everyone was making comments on the fact that the two banners were indicating that Pia was having two babies. She was no longer jumping up and down, now looking at Nel in confusion. I was smiling hard as fuck for my cousin. He could act like he was shocked, but we all knew it was a possibility.
Another plane sounded, and I heard the gasps from the elder tables. Not wanting to miss the third banner, I panned the phone back to the sky and made sure the red button was still lit, not wanting the recording to cut off.
Identical Twins!
Pink glitter fell from the third plane, raining down on the entire backyard. Nel was smiling, but Pia looked pissed. Ending the video, I sent it to Nel’s phone and stuffed it back in my pocket.
“When I found that shit out, I was too happyandmad for my friend!” Missy cried, wiping her tears, recording her own video. She’d been the keeper of the gender, so she must’ve known a while.
“How the fuck did she not know she was having twins?” Ezio asked.
“One of the babies was hiding behind the other. They told her they found something, and Pia asked if the baby was healthy, and when they told her yes, she told them not to tell her nothing else… Just write it down and put it in an envelope. That’s how I ended up with two envelopes.”
“Oh my God! These fools can’t produce anything but twins!” Jisei shook her head.
A few tables over, Discover looked mortified. She was probably having flashbacks of her chaotic delivery. Vello had undoubtedly fucked up his chances of having more kids in the future.
“Congratulations, my daughter. Let us finish the party. When it is done, I’d like to take you to the airport for your final gift.”
“Daddy, you got me a plane? I was just playing when I said I wanted one!”
“Well, you have one now, darling.”
