Broadway Dream

Chapter 26: Hormones & Names

"So how is everything?" Riley asks conversationally as I make the both of us some tea. I invited her over so we could spend more time together and because Elli wanted to play with her kids. Josh was at work and Elli and I spend the entire morning snuggled on the couch watching movies and stuffing our face with cookies and a bunch of different snacks, mostly cookies though, I've been craving them so much lately that I even begged Riley to buy me the ingredients to make some home made ones.

I literally cried when I saw that we didn't have all the ingredients to make some. It was embarrassing because I had a melt down in front of Elli and I swear that during this 20 minutes she must of thought I was an absolute child. Once I miraculously calmed down, I told her it was baby sister who was making me emotional and that it's normal, I also had to apologise for my behaviour, again absolutely embarrassing however she said she understood.

"Its fine" I shrug "Although the hormones are started to really kick in and I'm terrified of what I'm going to do if someone gets me mad or sad because I know it won't be pretty at all" Riley laughs "I ended up crying for 10 hours straight because my feet were swollen and I couldn't wear my favourite sandals" she admits "Lucas tried everything to get me to stop crying but nothing was working until he decided to give sex a try and well it worked" she chuckles.

"So sex is the answer?" I raise a brow "I mean for me it worked, not sure about you" I sigh and run my fingers through my hair "Okay well what do I do when it's just Elli and I and Josh isn't here?" I question. She gives me an 'are you serious' look and I scrunch my nose in disgust as I realise what the answer is.

"Same thing you do when you're alone and horny".

"Ew, no" I shake my head "Oh, come on it's not like you haven't done it before" she laughs "That's not the point" I argue "I'll be to sad or angry to do that" I point out but she just shrugs.

"I did it, if nothing else works excuse yourself to the bathroom and" she trails off "It does work" she insists "If it ever happens try it and tell me how it went" I roll my eyes but nod nonetheless.

If it ever came down to that situation I would do anything to get my emotions back in control even if it means pleasuring myself.

"What is baby sister's name going to be?" Elli randomly asks whilst she helps Josh build baby sister's dresser as I just sit on the floor and watch them, it wasn't like I could really help them. Josh got frustrated when I didn't do a step right or took to long do I decided to not get in his way and Elli was his assistant, fetching him whatever he needed. I consider these types of moments family time, we're all together hanging out, something I love to do.

"That's a good question" I admit leaning against the wall as I start to feel my back starting hurt. "Do you have any name in mind?" I ask curiously, she purses her lips together and lifts her hand, placing her pointer finger on her chin whilst she looks up, racking her brain for an idea.

"Belle" she says with a proud smile, "That's a good name" I admit impressed with her idea, I expected something more silly or something that I wouldn't like but Belle didn't sound bad. "Yeah it's not bad" Josh agrees with a smile, "Josh what about you, any name in mind?" I question making him look up at me.

"No, not really" he shakes his head "Come on think of one" I insist "I'm really not good with girl names" he argues but I roll my eyes playfully.

"You have to try" he sighs and thinks for a few seconds before finally giving us a name. "Brielle" I smile and nod "See that wasn't bad at all" I giggle "I don't know why you were so worried" I laugh. "Elli what do you think of daddy's name?" I ask shifting my gaze from my boyfriend to my daughter.

"I like it" she smiles "Its a good name but I do like Belle better" she confesses making me giggle. "Well thank you for being nice" Josh chuckles kissing Elli's cheek.

"What about you mommy do you have a name?"

"I don't know" I answer causing Josh to raise a brow at me, "You literally made me give you a name and now you want to not give us one, I don't think that's fair" he crosses his arms across his chest. "Don't you agree Elli?" She nods and copies her father, crossing her arms across her chest, "Yeah mommy you have to give us a name".

"Okay fine" I agree.

I take a deep breath and run my fingers through my hair as I try and come up with a name, "Hm" I hum gnawing on my bottom lip. "Addison" I say looking at the both of them for a reaction, "Not bad" Josh shrugs "I like it" he smiles "Me too!" Elli quickly says "But I still like Belle better" she adds with a shy smile making me laugh.

"Guess we'll have to make a list of different names and cross them out until we all really like one" I shrug. "How about we make this fun" Josh smirks "Tomorrow my parents are coming over so why don't get the whole family over and they each get to pick a name and put it in a hat, whatever name you pull out will be the baby's name" I stare at him wide eyed.

"You really want our baby's name to be pulled out of a hat?" I question looking at him in disbelief. "It could be a fun game and they have to run the name though us first so no matter what you pick we all like it" I stare at him debating whether this whole idea is actually worth it.

"Sounds like fun" Elli smiles, probably because she knows this way her name has a chance of actually being chosen. "Fine" I mumble "But I get to chose the name they put in the hat, if i don't like it they have to come up with another one" Josh nods "Of course".

"Then I'm down to do it" I smile although inside, I'm slightly nervous about what I'm going to pick tomorrow.
