Natsuki: (Relieved) "Oh, thank goodness you're here, Sayori! I was starting to worry. And thank you for arranging the gender reveal, that's so thoughtful of you." Sayori: (Smiling brightly) "Of course, Natsuki! I couldn't miss out on celebrating such an exciting moment with you. Let's make it extra special!" Yuri: (Curious) "I didn't realize you were having a gender reveal, Natsuki. How wonderful! Have you decided if you want to know the gender or keep it a surprise?" Natsuki: (Giggling) "Well, I was tempted to keep it a surprise, but curiosity got the better of me. I just want to know already, so I can start preparing everything for the baby." Monika: (Joining the conversation) "I think that's perfectly understandable, Natsuki. Pregnancy can be quite overwhelming, especially when you're also a student. Finding out the gender can help you plan and make things easier." Just then, the clubroom door opened again, and in walked a familiar face - our literature teacher, Mr. Shinohara. Mr. Shinohara: "Good afternoon, everyone! I hope I'm not interrupting anything important." Natsuki: "Oh, not at all, Mr. Shinohara. We were just talking about my gender reveal." Mr. Shinohara: (Chuckling) "Ah, how exciting! Congratulations, Natsuki. I heard the news from Sayori earlier, and I actually have something for you." He pulled out a small wrapped gift from his bag and handed it to me. Natsuki: (Surprised) "Oh wow, thank you, Mr. Shinohara. You really didn't have to." Mr. Shinohara: "Nonsense, Natsuki. It's a little something to celebrate this joyous occasion. Open it whenever you'd like." As I opened the gift, I found a beautiful handmade baby blanket with intricate stitching and patterns. Natsuki: (Touched) "Mr. Shinohara, this is absolutely amazing! Thank you so much. It's going to be perfect for my little one." Mr. Shinohara: (Smiling warmly) "I'm glad you like it, Natsuki. Take good care of yourself and your baby, alright?" With a nod and a smile, Mr. Shinohara left the clubroom, leaving us to continue preparing for the gender reveal. Sayori: "Okay, everyone! Let's get this gender reveal started. Natsuki, are you ready?" Natsuki: (Excited) "Absolutely! Let's do it!" Sayori began blowing up the balloons while Monika dimmed the lights, creating a cozy and intimate atmosphere. Yuri brought out a colorful cake with the inside dyed either pink or blue. After a few moments of anticipation, I cut into the cake, revealing the color hidden within. Natsuki: (Gasping) "It's... It's a girl!" The room erupted in cheers and applause as pink confetti flew into the air. Sayori: "Natsuki, congratulations! You're going to be an amazing mom to a beautiful baby girl!" Natsuki: (Overwhelmed with joy) "Thank you, everyone! I can't believe it. My little girl... I can already imagine all the adventures we'll have." In that moment, surrounded by my supportive and caring friends, I knew that everything was going to be alright. With their love and support, I was ready to embrace this new chapter of my life with open arms.
