King Von Imagines

The sun was just starting to set, giving the sky a soft cotton candy hue, the perfect backdrop for what everyone had been waiting for — King Von and his girlfriend, Milan's, gender reveal party.

The backyard looked like something out of a dream — white and blush pink flowers lined the tables, and massive gold balloons floated overhead, spelling out "Baby Woods Coming Soon". A giant custom-made balloon arch swirled with pastel blues and pinks, and there was a huge sign at the entrance that said "Prince or Princess? Place Your Bets!"

Von was leaning against a white Rolls Royce parked in the driveway, dripped out in a custom white Dior shirt, light-wash ripped Amiri jeans, and all his signature ice — his O'Block chain sparkling as the light hit it just right. His dreads were freshly retwisted, falling around his face in perfect order, and a big grin never left his lips.

Next to him, Milan looked like a whole goddess. She wore a silky off-the-shoulder champagne-pink dress that hugged her baby bump perfectly, with gold anklets and diamond studs in her ears. Her long jet-black curls cascaded down her back, and her makeup was soft and glowy, highlighting that pregnancy glow everyone had been hyping up.

Music bumped low in the background — Lil Durk and Von tracks mixed in with smooth R&B — while family and friends laughed and mingled, taking pictures by the balloon wall, plates of catered soul food in hand.

Before it was time to pop the giant mystery balloon, Von's mama strutted to the center of the yard, grinning hard, pulling out her phone. Everyone knew what time it was — the "I'm the grandma and I think it's a..." TikTok challenge.

She fixed her sunglasses and gave the camera a little smirk before saying:

    "I'm the grandma and I think it's a girl... 'cause my son need a lil' princess to keep him in check!"

The whole crowd roared with laughter, Von included, who shook his head like, "Aye, mama wildin'."

Then Milan's mom stepped up, sipping on her sweet tea, and said confidently:

    "I'm the grandma, and I think it's a boy 'cause Von look like he need a mini-me runnin' around tearin' up everything!"

Von laughed harder, rubbing his hands together like, "We gon' see, we gon' see!"

As the sun dipped a little lower, casting that perfect golden-hour glow, Von and Milan stood by the giant black balloon with "Boy or Girl?" written in glittery gold.

Von looked down at her, a soft smile on his face, and whispered:

    "No matter what color come out, you already gave me the best gift, shorty."

Milan smiled back, her eyes glassy with happy tears:

    "I love you, Von."

He kissed her temple, and with everyone counting down —

    "3... 2... 1!"

— they popped the balloon, and a burst of PINK confetti shot out into the sky, raining down like a waterfall of glitter.

The crowd screamed and cheered, some yelling, "I knew it!", while Von stood there for a second in shock — then broke out into the biggest grin, throwing his arms up like:

    "A GIRL?! Yo, it's over! I'm wrapped around her lil' finger already!"

He pulled Milan into a tight hug, spinning her around while she laughed, her hands on her bump.

    "Daddy's baby girl," he whispered against her ear, one hand resting protectively on her stomach. "You got me forever, mamas. Both of y'all."

His boys came over hyped, clapping him on the back, while Milan's friends wiped happy tears. Even Von's mama looked emotional, already talking about all the cute outfits she was gonna buy.

Later that night, as the sky turned dark and pink fireworks lit up the night, Von posted a picture of him kissing Milan's bump on Instagram with the caption:

    "O'Block princess otw... Daddy got you forever."

And just like that, the whole city was waiting for the newest little princess to touch down.
