This Love

Chapter Two

"I have news!" Ian said as we sat on a table. Eric next to the both of us. Eric hates high chairs, something that he got from me, even when I was younger I never sat on a high chair. "What is it?" I asked smiling at his excitement.

"I got a role in the movie that I'm going to be directing." He said. I gasped from excitement. "Ian! That's great! That's actually amazing. I feel proud."

"I know baby. Thank you. I won't be directing the whole movie, but still it's something." He shrugged, thanking the waitress for handing us our menus.

"Wait where's it going to be filmed? And and when do you start shooting?" I asked. I hated being away for a long time. Going with him could always be an option but I also hated staying away from my home.

"Relax it'll be here in Atlanta, I think in a month or so we should be ready to start shooting. It's crazy I didn't even audition, but the producers thought I'd be perfect for the character, and now I got it. We will film a few scenes in DC but it'll barely take one month there."

"That's really crazy but amazing. I'm happy for you." I said, "So what's your role?"

"Secondary. But I have quiet lot scenes. Towards the end of the movie I get to be with the main actress." I nodded my head listening to him. "So what about you? Would you like to do anything? Filming? Modelling?"

I shook my head a no, "Love, I told you until Eric grows older I won't be leaving him. But you did remind me, we have a family photoshoot in New York City the upcoming Wednesday."

"That sounds hot." He winked at me. "What about you buddy? Are you ready to be on the covers? Huh you gonna be stealing girls' heart when you're older?" Ian said taking Eric in his new lap. Eric started crying the second Ian sat him in his lap.

"Ian you made my baby cry." I giggled taking Ricky in my arms, and immediately he got quiet.

"What's wrong with him today? Seems like he doesn't like me today." Ian pouted. I laughed at Ian, "He's probably tired, he didn't have his nap today, he wouldn't sleep."

"No." Eric said, making both Ian and I laugh. "Good thing I'll be with you two the whole week, we should go on a vacation somewhere. How about Barbados? Or Bali? You love Bali."

"You know I would love to, but he's still too young, I don't want to take him on too many planes, it's not good. His sleeping pattern will be fucked."

"What happened to the new cursing rule?" Ian smirked at me. "Ops?" I smiled sheepishly.

"How about a night for me and you? We can live Eric with my mom or yours. We'll travel somewhere for three days only. It'll be fun!"

I smiled at the idea, "That actually sounds very nice."

"But?"

"What but?" I asked. "Neen, I know you. There's a but in your voice."

"That sounded wrong." I giggled, putting Eric back into his seat as he distracted himself with his toys.

"I know. I'm serious though." Ian said touching the back of my hand with his finger tips. "I would love that, Ian. But I feel like I will be to worried."

"Fine. One night only." Ian shrugged, I smiled up at him, thinking it was a good idea. I did need a break from diapers and baby food. "Okay." I agreed. "Two days, one night."

"Fine by me!" Ian smirked. "You're going to be having so much fun you'll wish we had at least 10 days together."

"Somerhalder."

"Hey maybe we can 'make' a baby during our trip." Ian said a smile across his face.

"Smouldy!"
