EVANS POV
I paced the bedroom trying to think of a name. Zoe sat on the bed with her hands folded neatly on her belly bump.

"The name has to be perfect! This is our son we're talking about"! I partly shouted as I continued to pace the floor.

"Evan, sweety... calm down. We don't have to think of a name now. Your getting yourself worked up". Zoe said trying to stop me from having a complete breakdown.

I stopped and breathed as tears started in my eyes. Zoe frowned and patted the spot on the bed next to her. I stumbled over and put my head on hers.

"I know your worried, baby. Your going to be an amazing Dad".

"I always promised myself that... I would be there for my kid. I-I don't want them to e-ever feel the w-way I did. I never had a father figure in my life and I guess because of that... I'm scared that I'm not going to know how to be a Dad". I chocked out

Zoe grabbed my hand in hers. I looked deep into her greenish-blue eyes and instantly felt better. She's my rock, my superhero, the love of my life.

"I know what we need". Zoe started smiling

"Huh"?

"We need to go to the Orchard... I know it's your favorite place".

I smiled down at her and nodded my head as she took my hand and lead me to the car. We drove a little ways until we pulled up to a field full of beautiful trees.

Hand in hand we walked through the rows of trees. I pointed to different trees and told Zoe all about each one. She smiled up at me finding my enthusiasm hilarious.

We finally stopped in front of a Oak tree. It was an amazing tree, tall, green, beautiful. I wrapped Zoe in my arms as we sat under it. She tucked her head under my chin. It was always so quiet here.

I placed my hand on Zoe's bump. She chuckled then gave me a sweet smile of comfort and contentment.

"I still can't believe our baby's in there... like OURS..". I gushed

Zoe chuckled

"Oh believe me, he's in here... he has been letting me know for the last 7 months".

Zoe has been getting sick a lot and it's been a long time since we've really hung out. I'm there whenever she needs me and will always be. She sleeps and lot, which she 100% needs to, I'm off to work everyday while she's been on maternity leave. Luckily Connor has been helping out a lot as well. He's beyond excited to be an uncle. Which is why we've decided our sons middle name will be Connor. Connor doesn't know that yet, it's a surprise.

The moment was sweet, I wish it could last forever. That's when a name poped in my head. Oakley. I love it, we're sitting under a tall Oak tree.

"Zo, I have a name idea". I whispered into her ear calmly

"What is it, babe"?

"Oakley, we're sitting under an Oak tree...I love trees and maybe... our little guy will too".

Zoe's eyes lit up.

"Oh babe, I love it".

A warm feeling grew through my chest.

"It's like, this moment will live on forever now, we're going to look at our boy and remember this moment". I smiled wide

"Oakley Connor Hansen". Zoe said put loud
