"Thanks guys for spending the night."

"You think we'd miss a chance to stay in this palace? I think not." Arianna said

Gabi, Mia, Gia, Francesca, Arianna, and even Carla agreed to stay with me while Giovanni was away on business.

"It's not a palace." I laughed

"Honestly, Drew, how much did Giovanni pay for this place?" Fran asked

Everyone looked at me for an answer.

"Forty million." I said quietly

"Jesus." Carla mumbled

"He likes to spend money. I was against it." I defended myself

"Relax, we know you're not a gold digger." Arianna said

"I'm starting to get used to spending money, but I'm not on his level quite yet."

"He really is in love." Mia stated

"Well, we gathered that when he decided to marry the girl." Fran joked

"Alright ladies, enough chit chat. We have two parties to plan and names to pick." Carla commanded

We had papers and folders all over the table in the breakfast room. Everyone was in their pajamas drinking wine (I was drinking apple cider).

"I don't think I want a gender reveal party." I said aloud

Everyone gasped then looked to Carla for her reaction.

"What do you mean?" she asked me

"I want to know what they are as soon as possible." I whined

"You can hold out for another month." she told me

I gave her a pout and she shook her head.

"I'm not my son, those puppy dog eyes are not going to get you anywhere." she said

I huffed and crossed my arms.

"Now, how would you like to announce the genders?" she asked me

"I don't know. What about a soccer ball or in this case two soccer balls?"

"Soccer balls?"

"Yeah, mama, Giovanni loves soccer. It would be the perfect way to tell everyone." Gabi explained

"You just get me." I said dramatically

"They should be kicked at the same time, just in case they're the same sex." Gia offered

"Good idea." I told her

"Who should kick them?" Mia asked

"Giovanni, obviously." I said

"And you." Gabi told me

"Oh, no. Not me. My belly is going to be big enough where I do not want to do anything, let alone kick a ball."

"Then who else?" Carla asked

"What about Giorgio?" I offered

"Well, they both love soccer and they're inseparable." Gabi thought out

"I think that's cute." Mia said

"Well, that's settled." I said rubbing my hands together

"Who is going to hold the secret?" Carla asked me

"Well, it can't be Gabi." I said

"Hey!" she said offended

"Everyone knows you can't hold water." Arianna told her
