Miracle Unexpected : A Shawn, Katy, and Maya fanfic

Celebration and Family

“Katy please relax and let me handle this.” Topanga told her friend for the millionth time that day. She was hard at work setting up the party she had planned for Katy who would be revealing the gender to their friends and family. Reluctantly, Katy sat down on the sofa while she watched her friend hang up the rest of the decorations in the Matthews apartment.

“Thanks again for doing all this, Topanga. I don't know what I'd do without you.” said Katy.

“It was no trouble at all. Anything for my best friend.” said Topanga with a smile.

Shawn and Cory were out picking up the cake while Maya and Riley were hanging out in Riley’s bedroom. Riley was painting Maya’s nails and she looked up at her friend and smiled.  “What an exciting day!” said Riley enthusiastically.

“Yeah, it is. It's gonna be fun seeing everyone try to guess the gender of the baby.” replied Maya.

“Can't you just tell me?!” Riley pleaded.

“Sorry, Riles, I was sworn to secrecy.” Maya said with a shrug.

Riley attempted to persuade her with the puppy dog face, but surprisingly it didn't work this time.

“I know you're excited, but you'll have to wait just like everyone else.” said Maya.

Auggie entered the room and sat next to them on the bed.
“Hey guys. Whatcha doing?” he asked.

“Maya won't tell me if the baby is a boy or girl and it's not fair!” Riley pouted.

“Oh, I hope it's a boy. I think it'll be a girl though. But I'm hoping it's a boy because that's probably the closest I'll ever get to having a little brother” said Auggie.

Both Riley and Maya laughed. “Aww, don't say that, Augs. You never know..Mom and Dad might surprise us one day” said Riley, giving her brother a hug.

Out in the living room, Topanga was putting the final touches on everything. She was laughing with Katy when suddenly the woman stopped. “What is it, Katy?” asked Topanga.
“Don't worry. It's just the baby kicking again. I think we have a little future soccer player in there” Katy joked.

“Aww, is that happening a lot now? You must love the feeling.” said Topanga.

“I do. It happens the most when Shawn talks to the baby” said Katy.

About a half hour later, Shawn and Cory arrived back to the apartment with the cake. It was a white marble cake with baby pink and baby blue frosting. “That cake looks delicious” said Katy.

Soon, the guests were beginning to arrive. The first to arrive was Jonathan Turner. He was Shawn, Cory, and Topanga's former teacher who was like a father to Shawn.

“Hey Shawn, congratulations.” said Mr. Turner as he gave him a hug.

“Thanks, Jon. Glad you could make it” said Shawn.

“I wouldn't miss it for the world” he replied.

The Matthews family arrived shortly after. Amy, Alan, and Josh got there first and greeted Shawn and Katy. “Congratulations to the happy couple” said Amy, giving them both a hug. And it's so nice to finally meet you, Katy.”

“You too, ma'am. I've heard so much about you guys.” said Katy.

As they made small talk with each other, Maya, Riley, and Auggie joined the party and greeted everyone as well.

The guests were asked to vote on what they thought the gender would be. Topanga, Amy, Alan, and Jon voted that it would be a boy. Josh, Riley, Auggie, Cory, and Katy's friends from work voted that it would be a girl.

Everyone was having a great time playing games, eating, laughing and simply enjoying each other's company. As Katy looked around the room, she suddenly came to the beautiful realization that these people were now her family too. Growing up, she'd never really been apart of such a loving, close knit family like the Matthews were and she was blessed to finally have it.

Shawn noticed the tears in her eyes and walked over to see what was wrong.

“Everything okay, love?” he asked as he gently massaged her shoulders.

“Yeah I'm fine. I was just thinking about how much love is in this room right now and I'm just really happy to be apart of it.” said Katy.

Shawn smiled and held his wife closer. “I'm happy that you're apart of it too.” he said, kissing her cheek.

After everyone had eaten and started to settle down, Topanga gathered everyone for an announcement.
“Okay, everyone. Listen up. On the table are little confetti poppers for each of you. I'm gonna need you guys to go grab one but do NOT launch it until I give you directions.”

One by one, everyone grabbed a popper and stood around to wait for further instruction.

“So we're going to do a countdown and when we get to zero, you all will launch the confetti poppers at the same time, the confetti will be either blue or pink, which will reveal the sex of the baby. Everyone got that?” informed Topanga.

“I think we got it, boss.” said Josh sarcastically. Maya shoved his arm and shushed him.

The guests did what they were told. Katy and Shawn began counting down.

5...4...3...2...1...0

Instantly, blue confetti flew everywhere and they began cheering. “It's a boy!” Katy shouted, wildly clapping her hands. Everyone rushed over to give the expectant mom a hug.

“I knew it, I knew it!” said Topanga.

“You know everything, remember?” Katy said with a wink.

“True. Anyways, congrats, Katy. Raising a son is a wonderful experience.” said Topanga.

“ It sure is. And I've raised three of them, so if you ever need anything I'm here for you so don't be afraid to call me whenever” added Amy.

“A son. Wow, Shawn. How does it feel?” asked Alan. The Matthews men were all off to the side chatting with each other after the news.

“Feels great, sir. I've always wanted a son.” said Shawn.

“Yeah, well, they can be a handful at times so don't hesitate to call me if you ever need me to straighten the kid out” said Alan, playfully punching Shawn's arm.

“I'll be sure to keep that in mind” said Shawn, smiling.

Maya and Riley were seated on the bay window in the living room eating chips.

“Welcome to the club, peaches.” said Riley.

“What club?” asked Maya.

“The “having a little brother” club. I made it up just now.” said Riley proudly.

Maya shook her head and smiled. “Of course you did.” she responded.

As it got later in the evening guests began saying their goodbyes and heading out. Once everyone was gone, Shawn and Katy had a moment alone together in the living room.

“I love this family, Shawn. And I love you.” Katy said as she wrapped her arms around her husband and passionately kissed his lips. It felt just like the first time they kissed right in that very spot, when Shawn proposed. The only difference now was that they were somehow even more in love and their growing baby was right there in the middle of it.
