ROSALIA'S POV
Now there is only two balloons left to pop I was really anxious to know the gender of my child and I am still curious as to why another set of balloons were delivered again
"Now Rosalia there are only two balloons left to pop-" duh I know that I mentally rolled my eyes
"And you have to pop it together at once and you are gonna do that at the count of -" now am really anxious and excited now that the countdown has begun.
"Three two and one " I was ready to pop the balloons and get it over with, hearing Miranda count different emotions coursed through me, on hearing them chant to the last number because all of the people present joined Miranda in counting the numbers, By the time I heard them chant down to number one I popped the balloons.
I was confused and overwhelmed with what I saw when I popped the remaining balloons, because when popping the other balloons they were bursting with one neutral color which was white, even with the balloons that were delivered later it has the same color as the previous balloons I have bursted, the colours that bursted with the balloons I just burst now were blue and pink.
I suddenly heard Miranda screamed and that got me out of my trance ,by the time I was out of my trance i became hysterical screaming with tears brimming down my face.
I was beyond happy I have never felt so happy before in my life not even the day i got married to Alexander, even that day was nothing compared to this it's nothing compared to the joy and happiness I am feeling now.
"Oh my god ,oh my god, oh my god it's a twin she's having a twin a boy and a girl"
Miranda kept on screamimg she ran to hug me shouting and screaming with the others clapping whistling and cheering us on.
I hugged Miranda more than she actually hugged me, I was almost stifling her with the hug due to my happiness i continued crying and telling Miranda "Mira can you see he blessed me, Mira he blessed me he gave me a double blessing " still crying I was so thankful to God, I have always been lonely since I got married but I got pregnant during my second love making with Alexander, and now he doubled it by giving me twin babies how much more grateful can I be.
Miranda tried and succeeded in calming me down saying calm and soothing words to me, she cried with me I knew I have finally gotten a friend and I was relieved.
All the people present congratulated me Lucas also came and hug me uttering congratulatory words, the party started fully Lucas and Miranda with the people they invited over never made me feel bored, we played all sorts of games and dance because they made sure I was included even when I tried declining them giving excuses .
By nightfall the party has ended and they have all left except for Lucas and Miranda, they helped me with the cleaning and clearing of the party stuff and the party area, after we were done cleaning I invited them in for a cup of coffee and they accepted, this was the first time they accept my invitation because, I have tried inviting them twice and they declined using the store as an excuse.
Nonetheless I am happy they honored my invitation today I ushered them into my living room and went to the kitchen to prepare the coffee, few minutes later I joined them in the living room with the prepared coffee in hand.
I thanked them for honoring my invitation and even bringing their workers along with them to come celebrate with me I never expected such from them " Miranda am really grateful for all you have done for me and you too Lucas I can't be thankful enough" I said to them settling myself on the couch.
"You don't have to be Rosalia we are friends, now you have a shoulder to lean on when ever you feel or get tired, your problem is my problem your situation is also my situation and I am truly happy for you " she said holding my hands.
My eyes got misty hearing her say that I am happy I finally found myself a true friend, one who will always stand by me and make my situation her's
"Yes Rosalia you can count on us I am also your friend although I may not be a lady but I will try my best in being a good friend to you" Lucas said nodding at me we all laughed when he said he may not be a lady, I was emotional knowing i have made true friends, friends like family.
I saw them off to their car hugging them both Miranda then promised to come visit and spend time with me tommorow and they drove off in my presence.
I got back into the house and took all the gifts that I was given at the party in to the room i was preparing to use for the nursery, i arranged the gifts there and i head to my room to sleep since it's getting late.
Rubbing my belly with my hands i was still in disbelief that am carrying and expecting twins, two bundles of joy I am in awe with the miracle that happened to me overnight.
On getting to my room I went into the bathroom to freshen up after I was done I sat down in front of my vanity mirror drying my hair when something caught my attention, it was mine and Alexander's wedding bands
On getting home on the day of our wedding he took his wedding band off and threw it at me in anger, saying he can never wear it if he is still married to me since then I have kept and put it around my necklace that I always wore till the day we got divorced.
After we got divorced I also took my wedding band off and put it around my necklace and since moving here I never wore It again, i thought I have kept it away in the attic but here it is situated at where I would see it.
Seeing it brought back memories and it brought tears to my eyes just looking at it made me so emotional, that I cried if only we were still together we would have celebrated the gender reveal of our babies together, we would have gone to all of my checkups together, how happy would he have been if he knew we were having twin babies.
My thoughts raced back to my mom and his Mom how happy they would have been if they knew I was pregnant and expecting twins, because they are always talking about how they would be the most happiest grandmothers on earth.
I cried remembering all of that we would have been a happy family together with the new grandparents.
Not wanting to put my mom in the dark anymore I promised to tell my mom about everything the divorce down to the news of my pregnancy and about the twin, wiping my tears and scolding myself that i must not cry too much because of my babies as not to jeopardize their health, now i have two beautiful reasons to be happy always.
I have already settled myself in bed about to sleep when I heard my phone ringing, wondering who it was at this time of the night i checked the caller ID and it was my Mom, why would she call me late at night i swiped the screen to receive the call ,on placing the phone to my hear i heard her sniffing she's been crying, what's going on why would mom call me late at night and be crying my mind went to the divorce, did she already found out that me and Alexander are divorced may be Alexander has finally told them.
Bracing my self to get lashed out at, I called out to her on the phone " hey mom how hav-" i got cut off by her, and what I heard from her made my phone slip from my hand and got dropped to the ground
