KIM
I walked into the waiting room when I noticed that there were more people than I expected. I quickly backtracked and hid behind a wall.
What are they doing here? I peeked again as inconspicuously as I could.
Dad, Destiny (my little sister), Jerry, Milton, Jack and Eddie were all in there. Why? I wanted to smack myself when realization dawned on me. They were here because I was 'sick.' Oh, man. They were in for a big surprise when they find out about my little boy.

JACK
The guys were whispering amongst themselves, the reason being that Kim's father was standing besides us. The guys tried to act like they were not afraid of him, but I knew them better than that. The thing is, he, Kim's dad, isn't scary, but he does look like he's pretty pissed off for some reason and not friendly at all.
I tapped my foot to a certain rhythm when something caught my attention.
"Jack!" somebody whisper-yelled.
I glanced around until I spotted Kim, who moved her eyes around until I got the message.
I got up. Everyone glanced at me immediately.
"I'm going to the, uh, bathroom," I said and left after Eddie nodded.
I made sure that nobody followed me and turned back to Kim.
"What's up?" I asked her.
"'What's up?'" she asked, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "This is what's up," she jerked her chin to our baby in her arms. "My dad's out there and the guys are there and my whole life is just about to change. I don't know what's about to happen and I'm scared. But right now all I need you to do is to take him. I want to talk to the guys first before we introduce him to the people we love and care about."
I held out my arms for our baby and she hesitantly placed him there.
For the next second I didn't know what the heck happened, just that Kim was hugging me so tight that I couldn't breathe and apparently, the baby couldn't either, because he whimpered.
Kim loosened up, but didn't let go of me.
I hugged her back with one arm.
"Wish me luck, Jack," she whispered.
"Good luck a million times, Kimmy. You deserve it."
She smacked the side of my head and left me and our fussy baby behind.

KIM
I walked forward, every step felt more and more heavy.
You can do it, you can do it, I chanted.
"Hi," I said when I got close enough so that they could hear me.
'Kim's and 'Kimberly' were heard as soon they looked up and noticed me.
"Are you okay, Kim?" Milton asked concerned.
"Yeah," I said. "Totally."
"Kimberly," my dad said, "why are you here? I thought you were dying or something when your principal called me. What's going on?"
"Well, uh…." I replied. I was really having a hard time trying to break it down gently. "Jack could you and—could you just come out?"
Jack came out with my son, who was now in the traditional baby blanket (the one with the balloons).
I turned back to the male and little girl in front of me.
"Surprise?" I said, smiling and acting as cute and innocent as I could.
