Videos are shared, stories are told and in a few minutes, people will quickly judge and comment based on their own point of view.

But, a few moments of a video clip uploaded online does not fully show who a person really is.

This is the sentiment that one couple would like to remind everyone.

Travis Gober and Hannah Calverley are going to be parents in just a few months.

The woman is pregnant and will be giving birth soon, but the couple does not know yet if their baby will be a girl or a boy.

The young couple had decided to have a baseball-themed gender reveal party.

Hannah will pitch a baseball and her boyfriend, Travis, will hit it with a bat.

If the ball explodes with blue powder, the baby in her tummy is a boy, but if it is pink, then it is a girl.

The moment of truth.

The couple was in an open field for the gender reveal.

All of their families and friends are excited to know which side wins.

Is it a boy or a girl?

People online threw flack on Travis for his initial reaction after finding out the baby’s gender.

“Should be a moment between the ma and dad first before ‘the boys,’” one commenter wrote.

“You deserved better than this,” another post said, addressing the mom-to-be.

In an interview with Inside Edition, the young couple found the opportunity to explain their side.

“Travis is a great guy,” Hannah said about her child’s father. “One 15-second video definitely does not show his character.”

Travis also speaks up about his reaction.

“I was just really shocked it was a boy because I really thought it was going to be a girl,” he said. “I wish I could go back and change it, but we all know I love her.”

And truthfully, they cannot go back to that moment anymore.

But it is also true that a short video doesn’t mean that he doesn’t love his girlfriend.

People can judge all they want based on the video, but the couple is certain that it was just a moment’s reaction and does not really tell the whole story of their lives.
