Beyoncé made one of her biggest fan’s dreams come true this week with a truly wonderful surprise.

Billboard reports that Queen Bey took time out of her busy schedule of slaying everyday since ‘81 to place a FaceTime call to teenager Ebony Banks.

Tragically, Ebony was diagnosed with a rare and advanced form of cancer and has spent the majority of her senior year of high school in hospital.

Knowing that Ebony had always dreamed of meeting the music icon, her friends and family instigated a social media campaign, using the hashtag #EBOBMEETSBEYONCE.

And thanks to the magic of the internet… a few days later, the phone call took place.

In the emotional exchange shared on Instagram, Ebony lays in a hospital bed and says, “I love you Beyoncé,” to which the pop star responds, “I love you.”

In case you missed it, the 35-year-old star recently announced that she and her hubby Jay Z are expecting two beautiful babies – twins!

The singer-songwriter announced the news on Instagram with an ah-mazing picture of herself (and her just-popped belly) kneeling in a scene plunked straight from the mind of Alice In Wonderland author, Lewis Carroll.

And before you reach for a bottle of champagne, take a closer look – Queen Bey chose a maroon-and-pink bra and light-blue frilly undies for the stunning (and oh so floral) announcement.

Coincidence? We think not!

If you ask us, there might be more to this incredible announcement than meets the eye – we’re hazarding a guess that everybody’s favourite singer Bey will soon welcome a boy AND a girl into the world.

Bey has kept her fans very happy by posting a steady stream of pictures which show her burgeoning baby bump. In fact, she recently took to her website to share a series of newly-released family photos.

The photos, which show the much-loved family-of-three in coordinating ensembles from fashion heavyweight Gucci, were taken ahead of the premiere of Beauty and the Beast at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood.

And needless to say… the snaps are beyond adorable.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the family arrived at the very last second to the Los Angeles premiere and even chose to skip the red carpet. But, Beyoncé and her five-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy, saved a little time to test out their best/silliest/sweetest poses inside the theatre.

TOO CUTE!
