Revenge: Queen Of The Fashion World - 156 A surprise baby shower 2

“Looks like a good news indeed haha.” My father saw how happy I was. “Well let’s talk about it later. Many guests wants to greet you tonight.””Troy my boy, how are you?” Father greeted Troy who was beside me.”I’m doing good father.” Troy replied.”Jill!” Teena came to greet me with Gerald. “I missed you so much.””Hi Teena. How was your vacation?” I asked.Teena and Gerald were out of town for the whole two months for a vacation. Well they tagged it as their second honeymoon.”Oh Jill I have great news!” Teena was screaming with excitement. “Guess what?””What?” I asked curiously, amused with her excitement.”I’m pregnant.” Teena said.”Wow congratulations Teena. I’m am happy for the both of you and Gerald.” I said.”Congratulations.” Troy also greeted them.”Thanks Jill, Troy.” Gerald said. He shook Troy’s hand andgave me a peck on the cheek as a greeting. “I’m just happy that we arrived on time for your baby shower. I was just in time to cater for it.””You are the one that catered today?” I asked astonished.”Of course. Don’t you remember that I promised you when we are young that I will always cook for you in your special occasions.” Gerald smiled.”Yes, I remember.” I smiled. He still remember his promise to me. Gerald is really a good friend.”Hi Jill, Troy.” Shawn said. He was walking towards us holding a glass of punch.”Hi Shawn.” I greeted him and he gave me a peck on the cheek.”Hi.” Troy and Shawn simply shook hands.”How are my godchildren doing?” Shawn asked while rubbing my tummy.”They are big and healthy.” I answered. “And we know their genders already.””Wow, really?” Teena asked. “Aww if we knew before, we would have bought a gender specific gift for this evening.” Teena frowned.”Don’t worry. What we bought is still useful.” Gerald comforted his wife.”I never thought that picking gifts for babies is that hard.” Shawn said. “And thinking I would be the godfather of your child too, Gerald.””I won’t accept anything cheap, that’s for sure.” Gerald teased.”Hey, that’s not fair for a single person like me.” Shawn pouted his lips but then laughed. We all laughed with him.”My grandparents are there.” I saw them seating on the couch. “Let’s go and greet them.” I told Troy.”Sure.” Troy replied.”Please excuse us.” I said. “We will just greet the other guests.””Enjoy the food.” Troy said. “Well Gerald prepared them so I’m sure they are delicious.””Be sure to try them out later.” Gerald said to Troy and me.”Of course we will.” I smiled. “Your cooking is like heaven in my mouth.” I giggled.”Haha I know.” Gerald replied.Troy and I walked towards my grandparents. I see them chatting with my father. Looking at them harmoniously makes my heart feel warm.Father hasn’t stopped trying to get grandfather’s forgiveness. And after father knew the truth behind Victoria’s schemes, he did not waste time and told it to my grandparents. At first grandfather didn’t change, he was still aloof to father. But after some time he softened and accepted my father’s apology at last.This is the first time I see them chatting and laughing with each other. I feel so happy that a tear came out from my eye.”Tears of joy?” Troy whispered to me and I nodded. He knew what I was feeling inside.”Come, let us greet them.” Troy held my hand and walked towards my loved ones.”Jill, look at you.” Grandmother said. She stood up and gave me a peck on each of my cheeks. “These babies are growing fast.””Yes grandmother. They are growing fast and healthy.” I replied.”Hi Troy, dear.” Grandmother greeted.”Hello grandmother.” Troy gave her a peck on the cheek. “How ate you and grandfather doing?””We are doing fine.” Grandmother replied. “Still the same old.” She gave us a warm smile.”My baby girl, how are you?” Grandfather stood up to greet me.”I’m good grandfather.” I kissed him in his cheek. “I have good news for all of you.””What is it about?” Grandfather asked.”Is it the good news you told me a while ago?” Father asked.”Yes.” I smiled excitedly.”Then why not call the attention of everyone here?” Troy asked. “They are all close friends and loved ones. For sure they will be happy to hear the news as well.”My eyes went wide with Troy’s idea.”You’re right.” I said excitedly. “Troy, you are so brilliant.”Troy chuckled. He looked at me with amusement.”Come, let’s get their attention.” I pulled Troy to a good spot.I get a glass and a fork then let it ring to get everyone’s attention. When I got everyone’s attention, I started.”Good evening everyone.” I said. I looked around and there were only a hand full of guests. All of them are close friends and relatives. Andrea knew who to invite in such an important and joyous occasion.”Thank you all for coming.” I said. “And thank you Andrea for organizing this surprise for me. If not for you then there won’t be a get-together like this.””You are welcome Jill.” Andrea said.”Well before everything else we want to tell you some good news about the babies.” I said. “Troy and I just came from the hospital for a check up. We now know the genders of the twins.” I said happily.Everyone was silent. They are anticipating the continuation of our announcement.”Jill and I are going to have a boy and a girl.” Troy finally said.”Wow congratulations.” It was Teena who congratulated us first.Then other guests followed congratulating us. All of them had smiles and gave us best wishes.Looking at my immediate family being happy for me, made me feel that this was my happiest day so far.
