33. "Happy New Year, baby."

Skylar POV

Friday, December 27th, 2019 - London, United Kingdom

The last couple of days had been hectic. Lewis and I had gone public with the pregnancy and the support had been incredible. I'd been finding myself to be wandering off in thoughts more often than usual, and I didn't know if it was pregnancy-related or if it was just pure bliss. Lewis always caught me smiling while looking at him and he'd make fun of me, but to be honest I didn't even care. Having a family was always my biggest dream, and doing it with that man by my side was more than I could've ever asked. I knew it wasn't going to be easy, especially with our busy schedules, but I knew it was going to be 100% worth it.

I was sitting on the ground packing for our trip. On Christmas Lewis gifted me with a trip to Paris, and I was so excited. We were going to be staying there until the 31st, and then spending New Year's down in Monaco. El and Daniel were meeting us in Paris, and then we were going to drive to Monaco and have a party at Lewis's yacht.

Lewis: Are you excited? - Lewis entered our bedroom as I was - again - lost in thought.

Me: So fucking excited. I can't wait to... - I was talking when El texted me.

Lewis: What?

Me: Sorry, it's El. She wants to arrange a gender reveal party for when we get back.

Lewis: Well, we can do that. But will she know before us? - Lewis arched one eyebrow and I laughed.

Me: No, she said she'll give the envelope with the gender to the baker or the people handling balloons, I don't know who she'll hire... And they'll handle that part. But we have to go and get a scan right after we're back from Monaco, she wants to have the party on the 4th. And then we have your birthday on the 7th.

Lewis: That's cool, I like that! We should do it here at home, though, what do you think? And my birthday too. With family, at least. And then we have a party somewhere nice with my friends.

Me: I love that. - I kissed him. - Ok, so it's settled. I'll text her.

Lewis: Yes, now pack up because we need to go! - Lewis laughed and pointed at my bags. - You are aware we're just staying there for a few days, right?

Me: Well, yes, but pretend I'm already packing for our baby... He or she needs clothes...

Lewis: Obviously, why didn't I think of that? - He kissed me on the forehead.

Friday, December 27th, 2019 - Paris, France

We landed in France a little past 1 PM. I'd never been to Paris, so everywhere I looked I saw something new and exciting. The first thing we did was walk for a while in the city and we took some pictures. Lewis got recognized and gave some autographs.

Me: You know what? I'm so anxious to find out if it's s boy or a girl...

Lewis: If we're having little Evelyn or little Noah?

I smiled.

Me: Aw, it's so cute hearing you saying the names... Evie or Nono... Ahhh, I'm so ready.

Lewis: Me too, baby, me too.

Lewis put his arm around me as we walked through one of the busiest avenues in Paris: Les Champs Eliseés.

Lewis: I have something planned with the hotel for tonight... And then maybe we can go for a stroll next to the Eiffel Tower and then go back to the hotel and practice for our next baby.

He said it in such a serious face I had to laugh.

Me: Yeah? Do you have it all planned out like that? I thought you were spontaneous...
