Turning Point (A Reaching Out Novel)

Chapter Twenty-Seven

It has been 5 months since the great loss of her family happened, and the loss had a new addition, Sam has given birth to a boy and named him, Louis, a month ago, and now, we are going to a chapel to have little Louis baptised, and well, they chose me to be a godfather.

Yeah, they chose the brother-in-law to be a godfather and not the sister.

And as Allana has promised, she did not hurt herself, and she did not even try to.

Brad and Sam looked so happy when their son was baptised, Allana's very happy for them, especially Carmela and Will, whom I feel that they will want to have one of those soon.

Carmela could not get her hands off Louis, Brad had to literally pull Louis out of Carmela's hands.

At lunch, Allana and I were sitting alone on the table when one question came out of my mouth

" Do you ever think about having kids again?" I asked

Allana almost choked

" I beg your pardon?"

" I was asking you if you want children. "

" Yes, of course. "

I nodded

" Any number in particular?"

She smiled.

" One boy and one girl. But the boy has to go first. I like the idea of having a big brother. "

" I'll keep that in mind. "

One boy and one girl.

" Will we go for a Royal traditional name or like your name, two. "

" Definitely a Royal tradition, 4 names. Sometimes I feel like your name is much longer than mine. "

" It is. Henry Charles Albert David is much longer than Allana Margaret. "

" It's half of your name. "

" Yeah. "

Then I remembered, my great-grandfather has a lot of names.

" My great-grandfather's brother has a lot of names. "

" Really?"

" Yeah. Edward Albert Christian George Andrew Patrick David. "

" Oh, really long. "

" 7 names. "

" 7 names?! "

I smirked.

" Okay, when we have our first child, we'll be using just 4 names. Deal?"

" Deal. It's a good thing he didn't have a passport. "

" Really? He didn't?"

" I don't know. "

" But you do have a passport right?"

" Yeah. "

The idea of having kids really thrills me.

I want to play with them. Teach them how to ride a bike, swim with them, well, do A LOT of things with them.

I wish they have Allana's brains, and my fun side.

Wish they have both our looks.

" You suddenly stopped talking. " Allana said.

" I did?"

" Yeah. "

" Oh, I was just thinking of something. "

" What is this something?"

" You and me playing with our kids. "

Our kids.

She smiled.

" Harry, we'll think of that soon, but right now, I would like to enjoy our life first, then when the right time comes, and when it does, we'll get there. "

" Okay, we could just enjoy our life. For now. "

" Yes, for now. "

When we got home, Allana received a call from William.

" Hello? William?" she said.

" Yeah, I'm in the apartment with Harry." She said.

" Why?" she said.

" Fine, just go here. "

And after a few SECONDS, he came in OUR ROOM.

" Let's go. " he said.

" What?" I said.

" I'm taking Allana out. "

" No, you're not." I said.

" Why?"

" We're about to do something. "

" Something?" Allana said.

" Yeah." I said.

" Oh, come on, Harry. I'll just borrow her from you for like, an hour so. " he said.

" Or so?"

" It's pretty urgent. "

" How urgent is this?" Allana said.

" The Queen wants us, me and Allana to do this. "

" Fine! Just take care of her. " I said.

" Thank you. " he said.

" Keep your button close to you. " I said to Allana.

" Harry, I'm your brother. It's like making your wife bring pepperspry with her. I'll keep her safe. I'll bring guards with me. "

I nodded.

Allana kissed me.

" I'll be fine. " she said.

I nodded.

" William, promise me." I said.

" Promise. " he said.

" Okay. Go. "

And they left.

I trust William, really, I trust him. I really don't know why letting him go with Allana makes me nervous.

Now I have nothing left to do.

And there is a stack of movies here.

But they are Allana's movies.

Romance things.

I think it wouldn't hurt to watch one chick-flick.

Or one movie.

Allana has a wide collection of movies.

It's as if she's not a doctor.

And as if she's not doing anything.

If she's not reading books, she watches movies.

What movie should I watch?

I should have asked her which movie should I watch before she left.

I should take a shower first.

What popcorn should I make?

Cheese or salted?

Ugh.

Or should I just eat ice cream?

Chocolate or salted caramel?

Ugh.

Shower or bath?

Ugh.

Being alone makes me noisy and crazy.

Mainly noisy.
