(This chapter is the gender reveal so it won't be about the actual story I'm just making a chapter about it)

Erika's PoV:

TODAY! JUNE 19th 2016, THE GENDER REVEAL DAY! I am screaming with excitement if you can't tell, Jake had passed out on the couch so I decided to wake him up. Tessa and Sunny had flown back to Ohio for family time and so we'd FaceTime them later when we could, I grabbed some water balloons (pink and blue) so I could wake him up. For some strange reason I was feeling very mischievous and I liked it! I grabbed a pink water balloon and threw it on the floor to startle Jake and then did rapid fire at him until he dove off the couch and slapped the floor. I had to admit, it sounded painful and when I saw him he looked like he was in pain. I didn't help him as I was too busy laughing and then he got up and looked annoyed which fuelled my laughter up more!

J- people wonder why I don't sleep, this is one of the many, many reasons!

Rik: sorry, IT'S THE GENDER REVEAL TODAY! *squeals*

J- could you be any louder? I'm fairly sure China just called saying that they could hear you!

Rik: well if you say so... *screams in Jakes face* IT'S THE GENDER REVEAL TODAY! *squeals even louder*

J- I'm right here, no need to shout! Anyway I'm fairly sure I've lost my hearing, my head is also pounding as if I've just came off a hangover which I've had before so that's how I know!

Rik: that's because you have! You have a hangover and I don't understand why you were drinking in the first place! And as long as you live with me, Tessa and Sunny we are stopping you from drinking... PERMANENTLY!

J- okay...

Rik: who were you drinking with?

J- Chanthony and the guys...

Rik: even Troy and his lot?

J- yep...

Rik: let me go ask him...

In text (instagram):

@erikacostell: were you, Chad D, Zeke, Jason and Ryan out drinking with Jake, Chance, Anthony, Chad T, Emilio and Ivan Martinez and Kade?

@troybolton: A) I know who they are so you didn't have to list them off and B) so what if we were?

@erikacostell: does Gabriella, Taylor, Kelsi, Sharpay and Martha know?

@troybolton: don't tell them please!

@erikacostell: have any of you got hangovers?

@troybolton: nope

@erikacostell: looks like Jakes the only one

@troybolton: sorry, we didn't realise that he was drunk!

@erikacostell: was Nathan there?

@troybolton: yep but he only had water.

@erikacostell: okay, Logan's coming over today cause he wants to go with us to find out the gender so this'll be interesting...

@troybolton: why?

@erikacostell: Jake used to have to pick Logan up when he was drunk.

@troybolton: warn him in advance!

@erikacostell: okay, bye!

@troybolton: bye!

End of chat

In call:

Logan: what's up Erika?

Erika: I came to warn you that Jakes got a hangover...

Logan: he never drinks... why would he start now?

Erika: that's what I wanna know!

Logan: I'll be over in 5, sorry that you have to deal with this...

Erika: it's fine, it just got me worried!

Logan: I am as well at this point!

Erika: I've got to go... bye!

Logan: bye!

End of call.

I sighed and looked for Jake but saw that he was asleep, I kissed his forehead and realised that he had a fever... great... Logan arrived and saw me sitting next to Jake, and I was playing with his hair as he slept.

L- how bad is it?...

Rik: he's got a fever! He's thrown up twice and I don't think he should go but I want him to and I know he wants to as well!

L- wake him up for me...

Rik: okay...

I shook Jake awake and he looked like he was in pain, I smiled sympathetically at him before Logan started talking to me and him again.

L- how do you know if he was drinking or not? *shrugs*

Rik: his breath smelt like alcohol...

L- Jake knows better then to get drunk before something important... there's no way he's got a hangover!

J- I-I'm gonna be... *gags*

L- brother Jakey is alive! How are you feeling?

J- l-like shit... *whispered*

L- did you get drunk last night?

J- no... *mumbled*

L- did you drink last night?

J- yes... *whispered*

L- see... he didn't get drunk and I don't think he has a hangover! I think he's generally sick...

Rik: how many drinks did you have last night?

J- 2... and the rest was water with Nathan...

L- who was there Jake?...

J- me... n-nathan, kad-de, ch-chance, tony...

Rik: and Troy, Jason, Zeke, Chad, Chad T, Ivan, Emilio and Ryan...

L- ah okay...

Rik: we have to leave soon...

L- I wanna come and if I do then I can keep an eye on Jake!

Rik: okay... are you sure?...

L- I used to look after him when he was younger so I know what to do!

J- I-I think I'm about to...

Jake sprinted into the bathroom and threw up, me and Logan trailed behind and rubbed his back. Jake slid down the wall next to the toilet and shut his eyes, Logan crouched down next to him and then picked him up (bridal style) and took him to the lounge. Logan looked at me wearily as Jake fell asleep, we connected eye contact before turning our attention back to Jake.

Rik: still wanna look after him?...

L- a hundred percent!

Rik: I'm gonna text in the group chat!

L- which one?

Rik: I'll add you!

In Chat (instagram):

erikacostell added loganpaul...

@gabriellamontez: I'm super excited!

@erikacostell: me too!

@loganpaul: I'm here motherfuckers!

@imchancesutton: what?

@imanthonytruj: good to hear from you logan!

@loganpaul: you too Chance and Tony!

@erikacostell: I'm just gonna say this before we leave, Jake is sick!

@tessabrooks: seriously?

@nickcrompton: maybe because he was out drinking last night with Chanthony!

@taylormckessie: around what time?

@nickcrompton: 8:30 pm

@sharpayevans: Ryan... were you there too?

@ryanevans: of course not!

@erikacostell: none of the other guys were there, it was just Jake. Maybe they met up there to play some football or basketball or soccer so don't assume that they were too!

@kadespieser: anyway, why would he drink in the first place?

@loganpaul: idk... I really don't know...

@erikacostell: same! We've gotta go so see ya!

@loganpaul: bye!

End of chat

Jake got up very slowly and went upstairs, Logan looked skeptical and he should have been as Jake couldn't walk up the stairs. He ran to Jakes side and helped him up the stairs before coming back down and relaxing with me.

Rik: sorry about this, Logan... *sighs*

L- it's okay, it's not your fault!

Rik: we need to leave once Jake comes back down...

L- alright!

time skip at the ultrasound thing*

Me, Logan and Jake walked into the midwives place thing and got signed in, our midwife, Emily, came over and greeted us!

Em: Hey, Jerika!

Jerika: Hey, Emily!

L- I'm Logan *stretches out hand*

Em: I'm Emily, nice to meet you Logan! *shakes his hand*

L- nice to meet you too, Emily!

Em: well if you'd like to follow me to the room, we will find out the gender!

Rik: lets gooooooo!

J- calm down, Rik! *whispered*

Em: someone not feeling well today?

J- nope...

L- I came to take care of him and like that but I'm also here cause I wanna be able to see the baby in this stage before I go back to college!

Em: ahh okay! *smiles*

She pulled up the ultrasound on the big TVs and apparently she could already tell what gender it was.

Em: I already know what gender it is!

J- can we take guesses?

Em: go ahead! *puts the mouse over the gender area* right there is the gender area!

Rik: is it a girl?

Em: it's a girl!

Rik: OH MY GOD!

L- congrats bro!

J- I can't believe it!

Jake came over and kissed me, I kissed back and we both had tears in our eyes! We couldn't believe that we were having a baby girl!

J- I'm gonna go call Mom!

L- call her in here! I wanna say hey!

Rik: yeah, please do!

J- okay, Emily, is that alright?

Em: sure, I'll be outside so come and get me when you are done!

On call:

Pam: hey Jakers!!

Jake: hey mom!

Logan: hey mom!

Erika: hey Pam!

Pam: LOGAN?!

Logan: yes it's the one and only! *laughs*

Jerika: we wanna tell you what we are having!

Pam: ohhh my goddd...

Jake: I'll let Erika tell you!

Pam: okay!

Erika: first off, what do you think we are having?

Pam: a boy!

Erika: okay... it... is... a... girl...

Pam: A GIRL!!! AWWWWW!!!

Jerika: we've already got a name!

Jake: we always had a gender neutral name in mind because if it was a boy then it would still work!

Pam: what is it?

Jerika: Alexis!

Erika: Alexis Paul-Costell!

Jake: it can be just Costell if you want so it's Alexis Costell!

Erika: how about Paul though? I mean one day we could end up married so you don't know... and anyway I'd prefer it if the baby shared it's last name with her father! *smiles*

Logan: #FAMILYGOALSBITCHEZ

Jake: SHUT IT LOGAN ALEXANDER PAUL!

Logan: how about you have Costell as her middle name?

Jerika: good idea!

Pam: I've got to go but I'll see you guys later okay?

All: okay, bye Pam!

Pam: BYEEEEE!

End of call

Jakes PoV:

As we hung up I realised that I haven't done anything to myself in awhile, I also remembered that I needed to write this in my journal because it's a part of my life. Y'all might think that it's really random to mention it but that journal had became an alternative instead of hurting myself, it's got everything about me inside it. This journal goes as far back as to the first grade! Logan doesn't know about it, My parents don't know about it, Erika doesn't know about it, the only other person who does was somehow Dani. I don't understand how she fount out or that she wanted to know but she does! Every single beating/ abuse I ever got was written down in there, Alissa's hate, Logan's hate even my own damn parents hate was in there! I was brought out of my thoughts by Logan clicking his fingers I'm front of my face, he asked if I was alright and for the first time in my life I was, I was happy, living life to its potential, I was me and I was staying!

We left the midwife place and Logan started talking to me.

L- I think I might drop out of college after the baby is born...

J- what?... why?...

L- I wanna make up for everything I've ever done to you, plus I wanna be involved in Alexis' life! *smiles*

J- good to have you back... Logie... *smiles*

L- good to be back, Jakey!

Okay, let me list off everything:

•I was school shopping

•Jet Lagged

•CBA to post for a bit

•Busy

Sorry for being AFK for so long, I was busy and like I said I CBA to post for that time. So happy that Jake won his fight, kinda lowkey salty that Logan didn't win but oh well. Anyway, I've been deciding that the next couple chapters will be:

A) The Bachelorette/ Bachelor parties

B) The Birth of the baby

C) Jake and Logan leaving Albuquerque

D) maybe just maybe they crash their friends prom...

E) The wedding

F) I could potentially add a sequel...

Thank you for being patient and all that, I am sad to say that now that schools starting (tomorrow) that means I'll be less active but every Monday I'll post! Keep that in mind okay, it means the chapters can get longer and it would be like a special occasion if I posted them early (might end up doing that anyway️)
