"OOH! That sounds like fun! We should invite my parents, my aunt, and my cousins! It's going to be a blast!" Steve was really excited about the idea. "Wouldn't it be cool?"

"Yeah!" She exclaimed, smiling. "There it is." The OB/GYN smiled slightly as an image of a developing baby appeared on the screen.

Steve had chills coming down his spine when he heard the heartbeat. It startled him at first, but he listened. He could have sworn that he can hear the breathing, too.
"That's it! That's our child!"

Fallon smiled widely as she became speechless. That's their baby on the screen, still growing, sleeping contently.

"It looks like a little jelly bean! It looks so peaceful and happy."

Fallon was glad she could get a copy of the sonogram so she could save it when their baby got older. She could probably make a baby book! She looked over at Steve. "Maybe when I'm six months pregnant, we can have the gender reveal party."

At six months, Fallon's pregnancy was relatively smooth. She didn't have cravings or mood swings, which she was grateful for. Today was the gender reveal party and Fallon was excited to see if she was having a baby boy or a baby girl.

Steve was really excited about it as he waited for the guests to arrive. Unfortunately his biological mother's family wasn't going to make it, he had a few people coming by. Namely his parents. Lei and his wife both decided to come out. And Forest made it out, too.

Fallon's parents arrived as well; Dylan was busy, but he sent his gifts with Miksa and Maiko. Fallon watched as guests marked their votes on what gender the baby was. A majority thought it was a boy.

Steve noticed that a lot of people thought the baby was a boy. However, he noticed that Lei had some piece of paper with columns and tables in Chinese. One could see Lei circled something with a red marker.
"According to the ancient Chinese calendar, you and Fallon both should be having a baby boy."
"Are you serious, Lei?"
Lei nods. "It was right there times in a row. It was right guessing Wanrei. Correct in guessing Li-Mei. And it was most definitely correct in guessing Shenlong and Bailong. You simply can't argue with 2,000 years of Chinese wisdom."
Elise who had both sleeping twins in the stroller simply shook her head. "Well, we really don't know the exact date and time of the conception."
"We guessed based on when you Westerners reveal your pregnancy."

Fallon quirked an eyebrow in confusion before her attention went to the twins, smiling warmly at them. She couldn't wait to hold and cuddle her own baby.

"My ancestors were interesting people." Forest said to himself out loud.
"Well, we'll see if that ancient Chinese thing is correct then!" Steve said.
Although, he already knew the answer.
"Oh, it's correct. Trust me." Lei was adamant about this.
Elise just shrugged.

"Ireland has their own way to determine gender." Maiko explained before she turned to Fallon. "Fallon, may I have your wedding ring?" "Really, Mom?" She rolled her eyes, but obeyed as she handed her wedding ring to the older woman, who tied a piece of string to it. "Now sit down." Maiko said and again, Fallon obeyed. She wanted to sit down anyway. "Now if the ring moves in a circle, it's a boy. If it moves back and forth, it's a girl." She explained before handing the ring back to Fallon. "Hold it above your stomach." Fallon rolled her eyes, but did so. The ring started moving in a circle. "What the hell?" Fallon mumbled.

Steve let out a half-laugh. There was more superstitious predictions. What exactly is going on?
Lei looked over at Maiko. "So, we came up with the same answer, right? I guess that means they're having a boy?"
"They say if you have a high belly it's a boy, but if it's a low belly, it's a girl." Forest said.
"I carried low but ended up with two boys." Elise added.
