Beyoncé was trying to tell us about the twins this whole time and we are fools

On Feb. 1, 2017, Beyoncé stopped the world yet again by announcing that she is pregnant with two more heirs to the Carter-Knowles dynasty.
But we should be ashamed of ourselves for our surprise at the glorious news. Because she tried to give us this beautiful gift around Christmas, and we were too foolish to realize what was right before our eyes.

That is not a peace sign! Yeah, sure, maybe she was, as always, trying to remain in control of her privacy by not exposing her fingertips to potential hackers while still offering a message of peace earth to the Beyhive.
But maybe it was a message of a far greater hope -- two children in her blessed womb that could certainly save humanity from its own wretched ways with coordinated outfits and harmonies ripped straight from the heavens.
It's important to note that Bey it looks like more than a month passed between this holiday photoshoot and the maternity shoot, and she likely took the festive snaps well before sharing them.
Beyoncé gave us another clue around Christmastime when she took Blue Ivy to Mariah Carey's show and posed with Carey's twins in what, in hindsight, was clearly an act of surveillance.
Some fans allege she was dropping hints as far back as July 2016. Without knowing when Bey actually conceived the twins, it's hard to say whether or not the theory holds up. But if Bey used in vitro fertilization, twins could have been the plan all along.

Just prior to Instagramming the two gesture/backwards peace sign, she shared a photo of a bottle of champagne with no evidence that she herself drank any of it herself. Although Beyoncé always has plenty to celebrate, posting a photo of a bottle of alcohol on its own is not the norm for her. This was a special occasion.

Now, all we can do is learn from our mistakes and remind ourselves that every vacation selfie, every Ivy Park athleisure ad is written in code. Whenever Bey bestows content upon our hungry souls, we most celebrate, yes, and decipher the messages.
We must be active participants of the countdown, and maybe when the promised ones arrive, we will be as prepared as we possibly can be for their majesty. But probably not!
