I prepared several cupcakes earlier, and they are currently cooling. I intended to place pink or blue icing in the centre, which would serve as the method to inform the children. The day is exceptionally pleasant. Why not extend an invitation to everyone for a pizza pool party?
Invite everyone for 4, so it concludes promptly. All will discover the gender, and the children will be fatigued and prepared for an early bedtime,” I state with a smile.
“Following all that, you will likely desire an early bedtime as well,” Cohen laughs while he rubs my abdomen. “That appears enjoyable,” he remarks with a smile.
“I believe you underestimate the extent of my disappointment regarding our interruption.”
“If you feel fatigued, I can handle all the tasks,” he smiles, and I draw him into a kiss.
“You are exceedingly kind,” I exclaim. He offers me one of his radiant smiles before retrieving his swim shorts and proceeding to Dylan’s room to assist him in changing.
I must inform Norah that I am expecting another son. I informed her via text that I received the letter earlier and that I would FaceTime her once I had more information.
I contact her via telephone:
Greetings, Norah!
Norah: Greetings! Have you opened it?
[I acquiesce.]
Norah: Excited exclamation! I believe it is a male. You are attuned to your body, and if you perceive it as male, I accept that belief.
Me: It is a… Male child! I was correct!
Norah: Felicitations. [She begins to laugh.] I cannot fathom having three boys consecutively. Cohen must be exceedingly proud to have numerous sons.
I believe he takes considerable pride in having numerous sons. He contemplates their future strength in unity as they mature, yet it is evident that he is utterly enamoured with Alyssa, leading me to believe he would have relished the opportunity to dote on another daughter.
Norah: He undoubtedly possesses a fondness for her.
Aunt Celine, observe my younger brother, Max! Adrian is Norah’s eldest child, being merely three weeks older than Wyatt. Max is currently three months old.
He is quite adorable. I find you quite adorable, and I believe you are an excellent older sister! I long for your presence, Adrian!
Adrian: I also miss you, Auntie Celine!
After conversing briefly with Norah, I conclude the call and subsequently contact Cohen’s parents, Brandon, Serena, and Leilani, to extend an invitation to our pool and pizza party.
I descend to prepare the icing and subsequently frost all the cupcakes. The interior features dark blue icing, while the exterior is adorned with swirled light pink and blue icing. Before I can complete my task, Wyatt awakens from his slumber. I ascend to retrieve him. He bears an uncanny resemblance to Cohen; it is quite endearing. Dylan possesses my hair, which is slightly darker than Wyatt’s and exhibits a slight curl. Similar to Wyatt, he possesses Cohen’s green eyes. His visage appears to be a greater amalgamation of Cohen and myself than of Wyatt as well.
I dress him in his swimsuit, apply sunscreen and allow him to play with Cohen and Dylan in the pool while I complete the cupcakes and tidy up. I don my swimsuit and layer a summer dress over it, then I retrieve a swimsuit for Alyssa and gather several towels for our guests, who will arrive in under an hour. It is nearly time for Alyssa’s bus, so I proceed to collect her.
“How was your day, dear?”I enquire about her bus departure time. She welcomes me with a broad smile and an embrace.
“It was enjoyable; we acquired a new class pet today!” A frog. I intended to name him Froggy, but the class opted for Fred.” I chuckle; certain things remain constant.
“Were you able to hold him?”“
“Initially, I was apprehensive, but upon observing that he was not aggressive towards others, I petted him,” she responds.
“I believe frogs are pleasant, and there is no concern regarding biting.” I appreciate your courage in petting him. I propose, “Perhaps you could hold him next time.”
“Perhaps?” “They are quite hoppy,” she remarks, her brows furrowed. I cannot refrain from laughing at her adorableness. She has grown significantly, retaining her long, curly blonde hair and large, bright blue eyes.
Your swimsuit is in the kitchen, awaiting your arrival. “Father and the boys are in the pool, and we are inviting all our friends over for pizza and cupcakes,” I state with enthusiasm.
