The time spent with their family last weekend was perfect. When the girls explained the process of egg fusion Susan was beyond overwhelmed at the thought of having a biological grandbaby. Of course, she would have loved the child just as much, but this was extremely special knowing she'd be able to look at this little baby and see parts of her daughter and their family traits in the mix as well. Antonio helped explain the process in more depth to the other family members who had valid questions about the process. Both families were beyond thrilled to come back in a few days for the reveal. Mychal has a game the following day so he's the only that wouldn't be able to attend in person, but they agreed to FaceTime with him so we could be part of the celebration in real-time.

The day of their gender reveal appointment had arrived. The girls were beyond enthusiastic. Naya even woke up before her alarm which was a miracle in itself. Of course, they weren't finding out the gender at the appointment but they were going to have the doctor put the information in an envelope for the reveal party that weekend.

Heather was sitting on the couch scrolling through her emails on her phone when Naya came into the room. Her bump had grown even more over the past week. Nearly every day you could see a slight change which delighted Heather to no end.

"Good morning beautiful." Heather said as Naya came up from behind and gave her a kiss. "Hey come around the couch." Heather continued with a loving smile waiting until Naya rounded the side of the couch and sat down next to her.

"It's a big day today. I know we're not going to find out just yet but knowing our baby will have an identity aside from calling the baby it, them, or they are pretty wonderful. By this weekend I'll get to say my son or my daughter is in there. That feels unbelievable." Heather says glancing at Naya.

"I seriously can't believe I'm four months and our baby will be he or she. I can't wait to start thinking of names!" Naya said eagerly.

"Me either! He or she will be the coolest kid ever!" Heather adds

"Oh, without a doubt!" Naya laughed.

Heather peers at her phone to check the time. "We better get going. You ready?" Heather asks her wife and waits for her to nod in confirmation.

"Let's do this!" Naya stands with Heather's assistance and they each grab their purses, Heather slips on her sneakers before grabbing the keys to their G Wagon and locking the house behind them.

"Good morning ladies! How are you today?" Dr. Laine said in her usual cheerful demeanor.

"We're elated as you can probably imagine!" Heather said bouncing on her heels.

"It's a big day! Now you wanted me to put the results in an envelope, correct? So no reveals today from me? I want to make sure I don't ruin any surprises." Dr. Laine confirms.

"Correct. We have a reveal planned for this weekend." Naya stated.

"Alrighty then, let's check on this little one. Naya can you lay back on the bed for me." Dr. Laine kindly asked while she prepared her ultrasound machine to start the exam.

Heather, as always, helps Naya lay back carefully adjusting the pillow behind her head and placing a soft kiss on her forehead once she's settled and comfortable. Heather slides up Naya's shirt tucking it underneath her bra so it's out of the way.

"Alright, ladies let's get started." Dr. Laine states while squeezing the cool gel on Naya's abdomen and moving the transducer around until the baby's profile is in full view. "Ok ladies, take a look here." Dr. Laine points to the screen. "We've got the face, ears, eyes, and nose. In the next few appointments, you'll really start to see significant changes in these features as they develop. The hands are actually up by their face right now. They're certainly comfortable in there." Dr. Laine continues as the girls look on entirely speechless at the sight before them.

"Heather it's an actual baby. I can see everything!" Naya says as tears well up in her chocolate eyes.

"That's our sweet baby, my love! Look how perfect they are!" Heather responds while kissing Naya on the lips and turning her attention back to the screen when Dr. Laine starts speaking again.

"Here's the belly, spine, bottom, and legs. Everything looks right on track. Measurements look wonderful. I see absolutely nothing to be concerned about. It's a very healthy baby…Alright, I'll have you ladies turn around for a moment so I can get a clear picture of the genitals." Dr. Laine asked. She waited until the girls had their eyes away from the screen before proceeding to finish the exam. "Alright you two, I have a clear photo. I'll go ahead and print this one separately and put it in the envelope with the gender so you can see it on the reveal day. I'll give you all the other photos now. Give me one moment to send those to the printer and I'll be right back with them." Dr. Laine says before exiting the exam room.

Heather wipes the gel off of Naya's belly and pulls down her shirt helping her sit upright. Heather places a tender kiss on her wife's lips.

"I can't believe we will know soon! I don't think I could be more excited!" Heather speaks up breathlessly.

"I know exactly how you feel." Naya replies with a beaming smile gazing down at her bump.

Heather looks at her wife before bending down and kissing her belly. "We love you so much, my beautiful baby."

Heather gently rolls over in her sleep and is instantly reminded of what is happening today. The mere thought nearly brings her to tears. Her little girl or boy. Her son or daughter. All these words she couldn't use before until today. This was truly the definition of happiness.

Heather turns to face Naya who's still fast asleep. Heather gently strokes her head and places a delicate kiss on her cheek before scooting down to say good morning to their baby.

"Good morning my little love. Today is a big day. Mami and momma get to find out if you're our little prince or princess. No matter what you are just know you are loved beyond words. We promise to do right by you and surround you with people that love you and protect you. I do apologize in advance, I know I'm going to be that crazy protective mother. Just know everything me and mami do for you is because we love you more than anything. Today we celebrate you, my baby. I love you to the moon and back." Heather says to Naya's belly placing a kiss on the rounding bump.

Their friends and family are due to meet them at the Paramount lot at 6:30 pm. The entire cast along with their family was attending. The girls spoke to Ryan and he had the amazing idea to open the rooftop of the stage building. The rooftop was being decorated with clear string lights and a table was being set up off to the side with different snacks, appetizers, and drink options.

At 6:30 the plan was for Ryan to have pyrotechnics set off a series of fireworks that are completely blue or completely pink. The girls were elated with that idea as it seemed so unique and different. They knew as soon as he mentioned it that was exactly what they wanted to do. They continued to thank Ryan profusely while he just continued to wave them off. He was more than happy to do this. He loved all these kids like they were his own. He also made sure to have Scott, one of the show's lead camera operators to film the reveal on his professional-grade equipment. Since it would be dark any video they would record on their phones would be a dark, pixilated mess. Ryan wasn't messing around. He also had another idea which he would talk to the girls about in the next couple of days. Ryan's the only one besides Dr. Laine who was informed of the gender. They wanted to keep it a surprise for their families. No way would they trust their moms with this top-secret information. They were just a loose cannon, there's no way that would have worked. Ryan's an expert at keeping secrets. I mean he runs a television show!

It was currently just after 4:00 pm and the girls were getting dressed. Heather opted for a pair of dark wash skinny jeans with black heels and a white silk blouse. Her blonde hair was flowing down in waves. She opted for light makeup and a simple thin gold watch around her wrist. She knew she would be obsessed with checking the time all evening, impatiently waiting for 6:30 pm to arrive, but didn't want to be looking at her phone all evening.

Naya chose stunning champagne-colored silk fitted dress that proudly displays her growing bump. The dress has a gorgeous gathered drape neckline and spaghetti straps. She paired it with white heels. She finished it off with some diamond studs in her ears and curled her long hair into loose cascading waves. She looked like a goddess. She also opted for light makeup. She was slightly concerned about the heel situation all night but was determined to look hot while she can.

By the time they finished with their outfits, makeup, and hair it was just after 5:30 pm. Heather finished up first, as always, grabbed her phone off the table, and made her way downstairs to wait for her wife.

At the last minute, she thought it would be a smart idea to stick a pair of comfy flats of Naya's in her bag in case her feet start to hurt wearing those heels she insisted on. Heather knew her wife like the back of her hand, she wouldn't last the entire time in heels. She was stubborn, so instead of an unnecessary argument she just discreetly put the flats in her bag as a backup. That way if she needed them they were there. Plan solved!

As soon as she heard the bedroom door and saw Naya walk down the stairs her breath caught in her throat. How can someone be this beautiful? As Naya paused on the steps in front of her she scanned her wife's body up and down.

"How are you this beautiful? I truly don't understand how something so exquisite exists. It's unreal." Heather breaths out still taking in Naya's beauty.

"Here I am looking at you. My sexy wife! May I just add your ass looks incredible in those jeans." Naya smirks wiggling her eyebrows.

Heather laughs at her wife's antics and looks at her skinny gold watch since her phone is in her bag. "We need to get going, love. You ready?" Naya nods and Heather helps her wife down the last couple of steps and takes her hand to head out the door.

Once they locked the house and set the alarm, Heather opens the car door and helps her wife inside making sure she was settled before shutting the door again. She walks around to the driver's side bending over the console to set their bags in the back. Once she backs out of the driveway she takes Naya's hand and holds it securely for the remainder of the drive.

"What are you thinking beautiful?" Heather asked taking a quick glance in Naya's direction.

"I'm pretty sure every thought a person can have about this is running through my mind right now. How nervous and excited I am. How much more real it's going to seem when we can call the baby a boy or girl. That everyone surrounding us tonight are the people who love us and will love this baby. So many things…" Naya finishes taking a much-needed deep breath.

Heather places a series of kisses along Naya's knuckles causing her wife to smile. "I'm thinking exactly the same things. There's so much anticipation. So much unknown but I can't wait to do this with you. You and me beautiful." Heather says smiling.

"You and me." Naya responds

The girls pull up to the Paramount lot showing their cards to Ron and Stewart the security guards they've known for years. Everyone was given a temporary ticket card if they weren't a cast member that already had access to the lot. This allowed security to be able to check everyone in while keeping the lot secure. Ryan was obviously incredibly generous allowing them to open the lot for this occasion, however, they couldn't compromise their security measures. The girls were incredibly grateful that the security measures were still the top priority.

When the girls arrived at the Paramount lot they pulled into the parking lot and they noticed several familiar vehicles belonging to their friends and family. Heather puts the Mercedes in park and turns the key before grabbing both bags from the back and hopping out of the vehicle. Well, technically Heather didn't need to hop, she was tall. It was Naya that had to always make the jump down which is why Heather always insisted on helping her out. Heather makes her way to the passenger side and opens the door revealing her gorgeous wife. Naya looks at Heather before turning in her seat and smiling wildly at the blonde.

"I've said it before but I'll say it again, you look absolutely breathtaking tonight my love." Heather says with a glimmering smile.

Naya looks up and smiles sheepishly before holding her arms out for Heather who doesn't hesitate and allows herself a moment to melt in Naya's embrace.

"Let's do this." Heather says excitedly as she releases her grasp around Naya and grabs her wife's hand slowly coaxing her out of the vehicle. Once the sound of Naya's heels connect with the cement beneath her, Heather reaches over and shuts the door.

The girls are making their way across the lot holding hands in anticipation. Heather reaches for the main door opening it for her wife and following immediately after. They make their way to the elevator, one of which would take them directly to the roof. Ryan had put a label on the elevator so their families would know which elevator to use. He truly thought of everything. As soon as they hear the chime and see the doors opening, Heather places her palm on the small of her wife's back as they walk into the elevator and press the button for the only destination, the rooftop.

The girls share a smile while taking a deep breath just as the doors open up to the rooftop. Everyone turns looking to see who else has arrived and the moment they see the girls walking over the sound of shrieking and cheering overpowers the room.

"Jeez, who are you all waiting for!" Heather responds with a playful wink towards her friends and family. They all share a giggle and continue to greet the girls throwing compliments about how beautiful they looked.

"Oh my goodness Mija (daughter), you look stunning!" Yolanda says looking her daughter up and down. "And look how much that baby has grown just since we saw you last week!" She finishes while letting her hand smooth out over the length of her belly.

"Hey, mom! I know isn't it crazy! We got to see the baby again just the other day! It looks like an actual little person now. It's incredible!" Naya pauses to glance at her wife. "Hey, baby!" Naya asks somewhat loudly so her wife could hear over the chattering of her friends and family. She sees her wife turn and walks over. "Can you grab the new photo we got today?" Naya asked Heather who nodded and quickly ran to her purse and grabbed the black and white ultrasound photo from just a few days prior.

Heather hands the photo to Yolanda who gasps and quickly yells for Susan to come over. Susan peers over her shoulder and focuses on the image resulting in instant tears. Of course, the moment Susan starts tearing up so does Yolanda. Those two are bad influences on each other. The girls couldn't help but let out a giggle.

The photo was passed around the group. Amber was the next one to shed some tears. She was always dubbed as the mama-bear of the group from day one. Despite her badass attitude much like Naya, she was a total softie. The second Lea got ahold of the photo she screeched so high-pitched Naya was sure there had to be broken glass somewhere.

"Jesus Lea!" Naya exclaimed.

"What? I'm excited!" Lea replied trying to keep her cool. All Naya could do was shake her head.

"Naya, Heather you both look absolutely gorgeous! Are you two ready for this?!" Susan asks excitedly approaching the girls giving them both a hug.

"Oh, we've been ready for quite a while!" Naya says while cradling her bump. Heather looks at her wife lovingly placing one arm around her back and the other hand on her wife's belly.

"Hey, Sis!" Naya glances up hearing the unmistakable voice of her little sister approaching with her arms outstretched. She pulls both girls into her arms for a group hug which elicits a giggle from both of them.

About 20 minutes later everyone had arrived and greeted the couple energetically offering hugs to both girls all while admiring the growing belly.

Ryan is the last to arrive on the roof after making sure the final preparations and plans are squared away. He walks over and greets both girls.

"Are you ladies ready for the big reveal?" Ryan asked settling both hands in the front pockets of his jeans.

"So ready! A little boy or little girl! I seriously can't wait! Honestly, Ryan, you have no idea how much we appreciate this. We hope you know that.." Heather says with a smile directed at her boss while wrapping her arm around Naya's back.

"You girls are more than welcome. You're all like my kids. We've built quite the show together, and well, you ladies took it to the next level." Ryan said making the girls laugh.

"I guess marriage and a baby is taking it to the next level. You're right about that." Heather replied causing all three to chuckle.

"I think you two will be extremely happy." Ryan winks and heads over to the table to grab a drink.

As soon as the clock read 6:25 pm, the girls could hardly contain their excitement. They all stood on the roof waiting for the big moment when the fireworks would illuminate the sky in bright pink or blue.

"I can hardly contain my excitement!" Lea screeches from behind the girls and besides the rest of their friends.

"Me either! I can't wait to see if I'm having a niece or nephew!" Diana adds with a smile shuffling back and forth trying to keep herself distracted.

Jenna and Vanessa here holding all four of their hands up above their chest and we're huddled together constantly staring at the sky in anticipation.

Heather already notices Amber with a tissue in hand preparing herself for the inevitable waterworks. She catches Amber's eyes momentarily and winks at her with a smile which Amber returns.

"You ready auntie Amber?" Heather asked with a huge smile earning a matching one from Amber in return.

"Girl you have no idea! I can't wait to spoil this little one!" Amber replies.

Everyone gathers around as the clock reads 6:28 pm. At this point, everyone is bouncing, squealing, or jittering in place. Heather takes Naya in her arms and places a sweet kiss on her forehead between her eyes.

"This is it beautiful. It's finally here." Heather says while caressing her wife's belly lovingly." I can't wait to talk to you tonight little one! Momma is so excited." Heather finishes her speech earning a few awes from the group.

Heather moves to stand behind Naya and wraps her arms over her belly. She places a few last kisses on the side of her wife's face as Naya leans back allowing herself to be completely engulfed in her wife's affectionate embrace.

The 60-second countdown begins.

Everyone is buzzing and eagerly talking with the people nearest to them as they wait for the big moment. Their mothers are beside themselves holding hands giving their last predictions. Their dads are calmly looking at the night sky waiting for the big reveal. Antonio is holding up the phone which has Mychal on FaceTime. Heather and Naya giggle at their sisters and friends behind them when Lea starts the 30-second countdown. Immediately the rest of the group joins in

28…

27…

26…

"Longest 30 seconds ever! I love you so much beautiful." Heather says against Naya's ear so she can hear her over the crowd.

"You and me both. I can't stop smiling!" Naya responds giddy.

Heather tightens her hold and cradles Naya's belly placing one hand underneath, and one hand over the top of her bump. She glances up at the sky which is now dark and gray soon to be graced with pink or blue.

20…

19…

18…

"Oh my god! Longest minute ever!" Naya says beginning to jitter anxiously.

"Almost time my love! Almost there!" Heather responds while placing a peck on the back of her wife's head. She couldn't believe this moment was here. They could start planning and buying for this child that they already adored with their whole heart. They could start thinking of names and nursery themes. Her life was better than any dream she could have designed in her head. This was more than anything she could have imagined for herself. Here she was holding the two most important people in her life. Would she be holding her wife and son? or her wife and daughter? She's quickly pulled out of her dreamy thoughts when the countdown starts from 10.

With one last sweet kiss, the girls and the crowd turn their attention toward the colorless sky.

10…

A loud bang is heard from the distance and before you know it hot pink fireworks are dancing around the sky before them. Their friends and family start screaming and going crazy behind them. They can hear their moms bawling together in a tight hug. Their friends are a mix of cheers and happy tears. Their dads are high-fiving holding the phone up so Mychal could watch, they could faintly hear his cheers through the phone.

Naya turns into her wife's arms and starts sobbing, completely unable to hide her emotions. Heather doesn't hesitate for one second in holding her close while kissing her head repeatedly.

"Are you happy beautiful?" Heather asks trying to lift Naya's head to look into her eyes. All Naya can manage to do is nod frantically against her shoulder. The sound of muffled sobs took over.

"Look at me, sweetheart." Heather coaxes gently lifting her wife's chin until she's met with gorgeous brown eyes mixed with pooling tears. "Our baby girl, Naya…" Heather finished with a gleaming smile.

"Our princess…" Naya said while choking on a sob and looking down to place her hands on her belly.

Heather can't help shed a few tears looking at her wife. She places her hands over Naya's and bends down to kiss her belly.

"My beautiful baby girl. Momma loves you more than anything angel." Heather finishes by straightening up and cupping Naya's cheeks and looking into her eyes. "Both of my girls."

Naya has the brightest smile all over her face as it's finally starting to sink in. She was having a little girl. She would have been incredibly happy with either, but the fact that she's having a daughter like she always dreamed of is beyond her wildest dreams. She looks up at her wife who's staring at her like the most beautiful thing in the world and it makes her heart flutter. They share one last kiss before being pulled into hugs by their mothers and friends.

"Congratulations ladies!" Ryan says while handing Heather the envelope.

Heather and Naya smile at him offering him a hug showing their gratitude before Naya looks to her side as Heather opens the envelope. First, she pulls out the card which simple reads It's a Girl! with a pink background. She hands it to Naya and pulls out the ultrasound image where you could clearly see it was in fact a little girl. Freshly formed tears appeared on the girl's faces and they embraced again. They passed the card and photo to their moms who cried before allowing the others to pass it around as well.

"I'm so damn happy right now." Naya says as tears run down her face.

"Can I tell you a secret? I would have been so happy with a boy but the fact we are having a sweet baby girl is more than I could ever ask for. My two beautiful girls." Heather finishes. Naya places a soft kiss on her lips and they share a loving look for what could have been 30 seconds or 5 minutes, neither of them knows.

"Should be grab something to eat? Your daughter is starving?" Naya says

"Oh is she? Would my Naya be hungry too?" Heather smiles in response.

"Maaaaybe." Naya responds.

Heather lets out a breathy laugh and grabs her wife's hand leading them to the table with all the food. Heather notices a look on Naya's face that she can only translate as an uncomfortable, irritated look.

"What's that face, beautiful? Are you alright?" Heather asks slightly concerned at the change in her wife.

"Yes" Naya says slightly frustrated while groaning.

"No your not. Seriously, talk to me. I can't help if I don't know what's going on sweetheart." Heather insists.

"Ugh fine, it's these damn shoes! You were right! I've only been in them for a little over an hour and I want to cry." Naya blurts out in pain while trying to distribute the weight on her feet occasionally to alleviate the discomfort.

"Hold on beautiful. I'll be right back." Heather announces as she power walks over to the corner of the roof where all their bags and purses are and digs around for her Prada bag. Once she finds it she takes out the comfy nude flats and turns on her heels to bring them over to her wife.

"Come here, love." Heather asks while taking Naya's hand moving her out of the way of the food line and handing her the flats.

"Where did these come from?" Naya asks confused.

"I put them in my bag before we left the house. I had a feeling your feet would start bothering you so I brought your comfiest pair which just so happen to match your dress." Heather states proudly.

"God I love you." Naya says while she slips her heels off and lets out an audible sigh at the relief that came from that. Heather holds onto her arm while she slips the heels off and replaces them with her flats. A smile immediately returned to her face now that her feet aren't throbbing inside her pointy-toe heels.

"Feel better honey?" Heather asks tucking a piece of hair behind Naya's ear.

"So much. Have I told you how much I love you? I'm so grateful for you Heather." Naya replies while hugging her wife around the neck. Heather smiles at the feeling of her bump pressing against her own flat stomach. Their baby girl was completely protected between her two mothers.

"Love you too my girls." Heather says before kissing Naya on the lips and bending down to kiss her belly. She then grabs the heels off the floor before standing straight up once again.

"I'm going to put these in my bag so they don't get lost. You go and get some food, honey. I'll be right back." Naya looks at her wife and smiles before turning towards the long tables to fill up her plate.

They had picnic tables set up on the rooftop along with outdoor space heaters which made it feel like a warm summer evening. The clear string lights were hanging at each end of the brick walls of the building creating an almost romantic vibe. The lights of the city and neighboring buildings surrounded them providing more than enough light.

Heather was seated on a bench with the girls who were talking about all things baby girl. Heather couldn't help but smile at her friends. Originally she was going to sit with her family but they were so engulfed in planning for this baby girl I don't think they would have noticed her sitting with them.

"Heather, seriously how excited are you?!" Vanessa asks her smile practically showing all her teeth.

"You have no idea. I was secretly hoping for a girl. I can tell it's what Naya wanted more than anything too." Heather replied as Naya approached the table and slid into the seat.

"What did I want?" Naya turns to Heather curiously.

"Our baby girl." Heather says placing a kiss on her cheek.

"Oh." Naya says coyly. "I would have been happy with either but a baby girl… I just.." Naya hesitates earning nods and smiles from the girls.

"That little girl will seriously be a damn beauty. I mean both of you are stunning." Amber says matter of factly.

"The girls glance at each other shyly and look down at where their daughter is curled up all warm and cozy.

"She will be everything that Naya is. Drop-dead gorgeous, confident, humble, and fiercely loyal and protective. She will be everything and more. Just like my wife."

"Awwwww!" The group coos in unison.

Naya leans over and rests her head on her wife's shoulder. This couldn't have been a more perfect evening.
