Kie's POV:

Today was the day that we were telling Cole and my parents about the baby. I woke up and my parents were coming over.

They arrived and said we were doing a gender reveal today at 11am at the country club. My mom bought a white dress for me. Apparently, my doctor is friends with my moms hair person who accidentally let the gender slip.

I texted in the pogue group chat for them all to be there. Cole and I got ready to go and we drove to the country club. We arrived and my mom had all her kook friends there, of course.

I played the part she wanted me to and Sarah came up to me and asked, "Shouldn't JJ be the one standing up there?"

"We already did a private gender reveal" I said to her
"OMG! You have to tell me what it is"

"You'll have to wait and see" I said and she gave me a look

I pulled her inside to a conference room and handed her my phone to show her the video and she totally freaked out. I realized I showed her the unedited one. The one where JJ kissed me.

"You kissed him back!" She shirked

"Shhh, shut up! We were caught up in the moment"

"But you both look so happy"

"We were happy it's a boy. You can't tell anyone this..." I said freaking out

"Relax, I can keep a secret"

We went back outside and Sarah went to John B and I got pulled up in front of everyone with Cole. My mom had us playing tic-tac-toe by popping balloons.

Cole threw the last dart and the balloon popped and there was blow powder. Cole looked at me and he just causally smiled and then I looked back at JJ who was jumping around with John B and Pope.

You never would have guessed JJ knew the gender before. He was just as excited the second time. I really fucked up. Tears flooded my eyes and I said, "You don't seem excited"

"It's whatever, not a big deal. It's just a boy" He said

"Yeah, well good thing it's not your boy because I'd be embarrassed to show him your reaction to this!" I yelled and I walked away crying

I walked into the country club, the same room Sarah and I were in. Cole followed me and so did my parents.

"What do you mean this isn't my boy?" Cole yelled

"Kiara, what's wrong?" My mom asked just entering the room

"She told me this isn't my son!" Cole said speaking for me

"Is this true?" My dad asked in an upset tone

"No, the baby isn't Cole's and by his reaction to the gender reveal it's a good thing"

"I love you, Kiara! How could you cheat on me?"

"I didn't mean to... It just happened. I love you, Cole you have to trust that"

"So if the baby isn't Cole's then who is the father?" My dad asked looking at me

JJ suddenly walked into the doorway and everyone looked at him. He just looked into my eyes and in that moment he knew that they knew.

"You fucking slut!" Cole said

"Hey, don't you dare call my daughter a slut!" My mom defended me which was so weird

"I'm sorry.... I just can't believe it but it all makes sense now" Cole said casually

"Kiara, we are very disappointed in you. You should have told us the second you found out."

"I wanted to, but I was scared and then the car accident happened. I want this to be a happy thing"

"Hard to be a happy thing when you ruin your life and have a love child with a trashy pogue" My dad said which made me cry

I ran out the side door and I was bawling. JJ ran behind me and the pogues also came with. We were on a secluded porch and they all asked if I was okay.

"Guys, I appreciate you caring but I've got her" JJ said grabbing me and pulling me into a hug

"We know you do" Sarah said quickly rubbing my back

"So that went better than expected" JJ whispered

"Yeah, could have gone better. I can't believe my mom was the one defending me"

"That was so weird" He said

We talked for a few minutes and then we left the country club and JJ came over to mine and Cole's house.

Cole didn't come home that night and I didn't expect him to. JJ spent the night in the guest room and the next morning Cole returned. He said he still loved me and needed to figure things out. He was going to Arizona for two weeks which was great for me.

JJ and I were going baby shopping together and buying all the fun little things. The pogues also had a baby shower for us. My parents haven't tried to talk to me.

Sarah took me shopping for some super cute dresses and outfits and some for JJ too. She wanted to do a maternity photoshoot for us. We took so many pictures and then she said she had a surprise for us. She wanted some couple-looking pictures. She had me put on a super cute black bra and lace thing with a long cardigan. She had JJ take his shirt off and she set up into poses.

"Okay, last one but I need a cute kiss"

"Sarah!" Said annoyed

"She's engaged to another guy" JJ said taking a step back

"Guys, cut the act... Kie you showed me the gender reveal video"

JJ gave a look and I said, "I thought I showed her the video we cut early..."

"Get your camera ready" JJ grabbed me and he kissed my stomach and then my forehead

"Those a beautiful" Sarah said

"Only because Kie's in them... Don't post these" JJ said leaving the room

Two weeks later, Cole returned home and things went back to normal. He asked as if nothing had happened which was odd. He told me he was still processing. This continued a week before my due date.

My dad wasn't speaking to me because he was pissed about the baby being JJ's. Tonight, JJ and I were going to my parent's house to try and make things right before I gave birth.

I knocked on the door and my mom opened the door and smiled. She invited us in and we sat in the living room. My dad also came into the room.

"So what you doing here?" My dad asked

"We just wanted to talk and make sure things are okay before the baby comes." I said smiling

"There isn't much to say, Kiara. You and JJ are having a baby. You are going to give birth any day now. You're an adult" My mom said

They weren't talking and so we left. I cried and JJ comforted me. JJ came over to help me finish packing my hospital bag.

Three days later, JJ was over and my water broke. We were heading to the hospital to have our little boy.
