Pregnancy was the most beautiful yet challenging chapter of your life.

You and Ghost had dreamed of starting a family since your wedding a year ago. Fate seemed to smile upon you, and before long, you were expecting. It felt like a miracle, one that filled your hearts with joy and anticipation. Ghost was ecstatic, and you couldn’t have been happier.

But the journey wasn’t without its difficulties. Your hormones were in overdrive, turning every little moment into an emotional whirlwind. You could go from laughter to tears to frustration in seconds. And then there was the jealousy—something new, something raw. You couldn’t help but feel a twinge of distrust whenever his best friend was around. She always seemed too comfortable, too close to him.

The gender reveal party was supposed to be perfect, the highlight of this joyous journey. You had spent weeks planning every detail. The decorations were flawless, your loved ones gathered to share the moment, and you were finally about to learn whether you were having a boy or a girl.

When the moment came, you stood side by side with Ghost, your hands trembling with excitement as you both popped the confetti cannons. The air filled with vibrant color, and cheers erupted all around you. Tears of joy welled in your eyes as the realization hit—you were going to be parents to a beautiful baby.

Overwhelmed with happiness, you turned to Ghost, ready to throw your arms around him. But just as you stepped forward, you froze.

She got there first.

His best friend had practically launched herself at him, wrapping her arms around his neck and squealing with excitement. Her voice cut through the applause, louder than anyone else’s.

For a moment, the celebration paused. The clapping died down, and the room fell into an awkward silence as the two of them stood there, her in his arms, stealing what should have been your moment.

You clenched your fists, forcing a tight smile, but your heart was pounding.

This was supposed to be your day. Your moment.
