AN: In the first chapter, we knew that the gender of the child was revealed, but not made publicly known, and everyone will be trying to figure out what the gender of the child will be. Especially friends and family.
Chapter Two: The Baby Shower
"You want me to what?" David said into the receiver of his cellphone. Michael stepped outside to talk to his New York friend, making sure that Miley did not hear him talking on the phone.
"When you and Alex come out here for the baby shower, I want you to read her mind to find out what we are having." Michael said.
"Mike, listen to me, are you even sure that Miley even knows?" David asked him. "Maybe she doesn't even know the gender, and this is a waste of time."
"David, I really want to know." Michael whined. David laughed, and calmed his friend down.
"Mikey boy, listen. She will be having the baby in a little while, so just wait until then, okay?" David asked.
"Okay. Fine." Michael sighed.
"Good, I will see you when we get out there." David said, bidding Michael a farewell, and then hanging up. Michael sighed, and sat on the steps of the apartment building he lived in.
It was going to be a fun few days, that was for sure.
Almost a few days later, David and Alex arrived in California for Miley's baby shower. Of course, their had to be a set up for the party, and they helped out of course. By they, that usually meant that David had to lend a hand. When Oliver and Lilly came over, Alex, Lilly, and Miley told their men how to set up the party, where to put everything, and how exactly to do everything.
"This...this is hard work..." Oliver said, out of breath as he and David helped him move the couch out of the way.
"Shut up, and help me move this damn thing." David said. David was a little taken aback by how heavy the couch was.
"Michael, why is this couch so heavy?" David asked. Michael was moving tables around and setting everything up on his own in the kitchen.
"Because there is a built in bed in there." Michael answered. "You slept on that thing around Thanksgiving. How could you forget that?"
"I still didn't think it would be heavy." David answered.
"Come on, let's just do this." Oliver said, pulling the couch as the doorbell rang. Michael moved away from what he was doing, and let his stepsister, Melody in the apartment.
"So, how is the setup going?" Melody asked.
"They are moving soooo slow." Miley said from her spot in the bedroom.
"Just sit there, and create a life." Michael called back at her.
"Okay. So, when does the party start?" Melody asked him.
"No idea. When it does, we aren't going to be here." Michael said.
"Okay then. Someone is in a bad mood." Melody said.
"Moving heavy crap all day would put you in a bad mood." David moaned from across the apartment. Soon enough, to David and Michael's surprise, Miley walked out of the bedroom, and stared at David and Oliver, who just finished moving the couch/pullout couch across the room.
"I made a decision, everything was fine the way it was, so just move it back." Miley said, heading back into the bedroom with Lilly and Alex.
David and Oliver stared in the direction of the way Miley just left in, at each other, and right at Michael.
"What?" Michael said innocently.
"I am never coming out here again." David said.
"Same here. Let's just move it back." Oliver sighed. David smiled, and soon enough, transfored into Rayzor, grabbed the couch with ease, and dumped it in the original spot. He then moved the tables that Michael moved with relative ease as well.
"Easy." Rayzor said with a smile.
"Why didn't you do that earlier?" Michael asked as he returned to normal.
"Whatever. Let's get out of here before these hens start cackling." David said.
Michael was driving as he, David, and Oliver decided to drive to a nearby arcade to hang out for a while, and let the girls have their fun. Baby showers are for women mostly. Not being sexist or anything, but really. What, or rather why would any guy hang out at a baby shower? That's the reason that they left, mostly. They wanted to head out, and go have some fun before heading back.
"So, Michael, what are you having?" Oliver asked him.
"No idea." Michael answered. "She wants to keep it a secret and wait for the birth."
"Man, Lilly is driving me crazy talking about how she wants to know whether or not it will be a boy or girl." Oliver said.
"Here here. Alex wants to know too. She thinks it is going to be a boy. So what are you going to do about it?" David asked him.
"No idea." Michael said. "I really want to know, but I am going to have to wait, and find out when the time comes."
"Uh-huh." David said in disbelief.
"What? You honestly do not believe me?" Michael said.
"You wanted me to read her mind, remember?" David stated, recalling their earlier conversation.
"A moment of desperation." Michael said in a honest tone.
"Not buying it." Oliver said.
Michael smiled at his friend, and he responded by smacking him in the back of the head.
Alex, Lilly, and Melody watched as Miley opened the last of her gifts, which happened to be a breast pump, she thanked her friends, and smiled as she stared at the various gifts that she had.
"So, how was your baby shower?" Alex asked Miley.
"It was fine." Miley said, rubbing a hand over her stomach where her child resided. "I know that I am going to be due in a short time, but I wonder if Michael and I are ready to be parents."
"Miley, I have known Michael for almost 10 years." Melody said. "I know for a fact that Michael will be a good father. You will be a good mother."
"You think so?" Miley asked them.
"Of course, we do." Lilly said.
"It won't be easy, but you will have help." Melody said.
"It takes a village to raise a child." Alex said.
"Where did you hear that?" Lilly asked her.
"I hear it all the time for some reason." Alex said, shrugging her shoulders.
"When the time comes, Michael and I will be ready." Miley said, looking down at her stomach, knowing that her child will be healthy, and unbeknownst to her, early...
