39.

"You're flying a plane!" I yelled

"A helicopter." Royalty innocently smiled while jumping up and down

"You're not flying, you're driving!" My mom said

We were having one of our family game nights, playing Charades.

Chris nodded, "Driving a... boat?" My dad said

I made a 'really' face, out of all things he could've guessed he was driving, he had to be driving a boat. He need not to smoke anymore.

"A car. You're driving a car!" Anaya said

Chris nodded, indicating that Anaya was correct.

"Okay, my turn." Royalty said

She started doing ballet, twirling into small circles.

"You a street dancer?" My dad asked

"Dad, go to bed." I laughed

"My baby is a ballerina." My mom said, nudging my fathers leg

"Yay!" Royalty said, giving a high-five to my mom.

Everyone had multiple turns. I wanted the last round to end on me. Chris and I actually wanted to do this one together.

Chris stood behind me as we both rubbed my stomach in a circular motion, my mom already knew.

My father stared in confusion, he's so high right now.

"Rubbing a...pumpkin?" He guessed

"What the hell, dad?" I laughed

"I'm sorry, a watermelon." He said, with much confidence

I intertwined my arms and swung them back and forth in a rocking gesture.

"Rocking a..." Anaya said

"A puppy?" My father asked

"A baby? Having a baby!" Anaya guessed

"Wait, y'all are having a baby?" She excitedly asked

A smile appeared on my face, following with a nod.

She jumped up in excitement and pulled me in for a hug.

"Who having a baby?" My dad stood up, asking

"India is having a baby, George, get with the program!" My mom teased

My father abruptly went to Chris and they both started jumping in circles and yelling like girls.

Remind me to smoke what they smoked when I have my baby, they're something else.

I smiled as I sat down, "It was hard to keep it a secret because of how much I've been eating and my excessive weight gain." I said

"Girl, you haven't gained any weight." Anaya said

"I mean your face has filled out more but it isn't fat." My mom said

"Thanks, mom." I sarcastically said

"Who's having a baby?" Royalty stood in front of me and asked, with her hands resting on my knees.

I smiled, "I am, sweetie. You're going to have a baby brother or sister." I said

"Really?" She asked, full of excitement

I nodded.

She started jumping up and down then went to jump up and down with Chris and my dad.

I chuckled to myself as I watched them.
