Collin and I have been waiting for this day and time has gone by so unbelievably slow.

I am now twenty weeks pregnant and we actually had the ultrasound last week and the doctor was able to tell the genders of our babies. However, the only person that knows the genders is Uncle Clay. We had the doctor write the genders down and put in a card, then Uncle Clay begged for us to let him have the task of putting things together for a gender reveal.

Mom and Dad has bugged Uncle Clay hard but he won't fold in the least. Even Grangy tried at the family dinner a few days ago but Uncle Clay just smirked and shook his head.

Collin is wearing a white shirt to be nuetral and won't tell me what he may prefer. He always just says what counts is they are healthy and I feel the same way. It is just wanting to know what the babies are so I can decorate and buy things.

Dad and Uncle Clay already got the nursery built and it is just a bare off white color. The emptiness is what gets me because I am so ready to fill it with baby things. Just like everyone else is too.

We thought of doing a yellow like Mom had for me but I decided to wait until we know the genders.

Mom and Aunt Whitney have helped get the venue back in order for the outdoor section, even if not everything has been fixed its just manageable. Thankfully with the weather no weddings have been held out there and only been in the indoor ball room section. Also the lawyer got happily married recently too, his bride was so sweet.

"What shirt are you wearing?" Collin walks into the bedroom.

"Why don't you pick something out? I tried the yellow one on and looked like a huge lemon." I sigh and lay on my side. I have been trying to find the right shirt for about ten minutes now with no luck.

I hear when Collin chokes on a laugh.

A shirt lands on me gently and I pick it up to look at. I sit up and Collin takes the shirt, helping me to put it on. Something I could have done myself, but incredibly sweet of him to help.

It has started to feel like some energy drains so quickly at times, but I try not to let it show because this is all happy times. The cravings have kicked in, my favorite snack has become peanut butter with cobbler or any sweet treat.

Just as I slip into my flats the doorbell goes off and Collin goes to get it.

"Who is ready to find out what the babies are?" I hear Mom squeal.

I walk out of the bedroom and they immediately give me hugs before Dad is ushering us out to the car. Collin barely gets the house locked up and Mom is holding my door open.

"Looks like we are carpooling." I laugh lightly with Collin when he joins me in the back seat.

In no time, we are at Grangy's house and Uncle Clay, Aunt Whitney pulls in behind us.

"How is it fair that I am with him and still don't know the genders either?" Aunt Whitney laughs as she is by the door I am getting out of.

"Well Gunner, Meredith, Jorge, Dwight and Marcel are all here. We are missing Loretta yet though." Mom looks around.

"There she is." Collin smiles as she pulls up.

Uncle Clay grabs a box from his car where he is swarmed by all the girls, while I stand back watching with Collin.

"Clay get in here, I got a hiding spot until it is time." Gramps calls out from the door and Uncle Clay goes running.

"Alan you may not get any dessert if you help that boy out." Grangy calls out as we all go up the stairs.

"Why don't we find out now before we eat?" I smile and Collin agrees.

"Thank God, maybe I won't be mobbed with more questions. It has been worth it but so many people, next time a reveal is done let's all act like we have no clue who is picked and if so then we just play dumb." Uncle Clay laughs and we all join in.

We all go to the living room since Uncle Clay said it won't make a mess or if so just a tiny one. Grangy doesn't even care and has Collin and I sit on the couch and everyone else just gathers in a overly large circle.

Loretta sits next to Mom and Grangy in front of us, while Aunt Whitney and Aunt Meredith are on the side. Dad, Gramps, Uncle Dwight, Uncle Marcel, and Uncle Jorge are all huddled standing above them.

"Now all you have to do with these is take these and pop them in half. On the inside is a smaller version to go with the two large bunnies. Kind of like a Mom and Dad bunny set as you can see they are white and on the inside will be the individual bunny that can stand alone next to them. The inside rabbit is the color of the baby, hence two rabbits one for each baby."

"That is clever Clay. Still found a way to stick to the bunny theme Sadie has always had." Dad laughs.

"Thank you. I knew exactly what to do and that is why I asked them if I could do this, since we all knew they wanted a gender reveal." Uncle Clay smiles.

He hands Collin and I both a bunny.

"You first, flower." Collin smile brightly.

I find the seam and open it gently. Inside is a pink bunny that I pull out and hold up.

Mom squeals and claps her hands. My eyes look to Collin and he has a few tears in his eyes.

"Your turn." I squirm around and am beyond happy one of the babies is a little girl.

Collin kisses me quickly and then I watch as he opens the bunny he holds. My eyes go wide when he pulls out another little pink bunny.

"Twin girls!" Mom, Grangy, and Loretta squeal together.

Collin laughs and kisses me tenderly. Tears fills my eyes as our babies are both girls.

Once we break from the kiss, everyone pulls us in for hugs. I wrap myself in Collin's arms after and our little girls start to softly kick and move. Collin's hand rubs over the area and he kisses me lightly again.

"I am so incredibly happy. We are going to have two mini verisons of my flower."

"I am so happy. Thank you for everything you do for us already Collin. I love you." I kiss him again lightly.

Grangy calls out the food is ready and Uncle Dwight has been right with her, with them whipping up a feast.

"Now to know the colors you want to do for their nursery." Mom and Loretta smile looking at us.

"I think I would like to go with a flower and of course bunny theme. Pale pinks and cream colors." I smile and Collin nods in agreeance.

"I got you covered on bunnies!" Uncle Clay smiles.
