"Can't be L.A." Chris shook his head. "It has to be Boston."

"How about New York?" Benoit suggested.

"New York could work." Chris decided. "Flight's only an hour and a half from Boston."

"Perfect. I've got some friends in NYC that own some art galleries. I'll see if they'll let us rent it out for a night for a party." Benoit volunteered. "And don't worry about inviting Gwen or Phoenix's UCLA friends, I'm on it!"

"I know it's very last minute since her birthday is in literally 4 days but I really do appreciate all of your help." Chris told him as relief flushed all of his worry away.

For the last 7 months, it had been Chris's plan to throw Phoenix a surprise 25th birthday party when November finally came around. He didn't want to start planning too early because he knew his and Phoenix's friends had schedules that changed quite often. And by the time it came to work out all the details and start alerting people, he and Phoenix had broken up. Now with their reconciliation along with the pregnancy and engagement and his new filming schedule, he still hadn't had time to work out the kinks; that was until he shot Benoit a call asking for help.

"BABEEEE." Phoenix called from the other room, causing Chris to snap his head up.

"I've gotta go but thanks again man." Chris spoke into the phone. "And Happy Halloween!"

"No problem dude. I'll shoot you a text when I get some more details worked out." Benoit assured. "Make sure Phoenix saves you some candy with her greedy ass."

Chris let out a chuckle before ending the call. Immediately afterwards, he tucked his iPhone into the pocket of his grey sweatpants and headed into the bedroom, where Phoenix was laying on top of the covers with nothing but one of his sweatshirts on.

Chris couldn't help but to gawk at the image in front of him as both Ghost and Dodger sat on either side of Phoenix while she rummaged through a bag of Halloween candy. He was really enjoying seeing her wear a different one of his hoodies every night and always though about how much better she looked in them than he did.

"I am the luckiest man in the world." Chris spoke with a smile after Phoenix tossed him a mini bag of Starburst jelly beans, his favorite.

"I almost ate them." Phoenix admitted with a laugh as he approached the bed. "Baby Evans was tempting me but daddy needs love too, right?"

"Daddy gets more than enough love from mommy everyday." He replied before Phoenix scooted from the middle of the bed onto the other side, prompting Chris to lay down next to her.

"I love you."

"And I love you more." Chris said while opening his package of jellybeans. "Thank god they released us from set early. I was so close to missing out on these babies." He joked before tossing a few jellybeans into his mouth.

"I'm pretty sure I'm gonna eat all of the candy before nighttime and we won't have anything to give the kids."

"You eat as much as you want and I'll replace it all."

"Oh I meant to show you something!" Phoenix smiled excitedly while lifting her sweatshirt up, exposing her red lace panties along with her bare stomach. Since learning of her pregnancy, Phoenix had been examining her belly in the mirror every night and for the first time, she noticed a change that Chris would pick up on as well: a bump that was barely visible but indeed noticeable when her bare stomach was exposed.

"Aw babe." Chris grinned before placing his hand over her stomach. He kept his hand there while Phoenix opened a mini Snickers bar.

"I'm not so sure whether this is caused by baby Evans or the fact that I've eaten 15 of these tiny chocolate bars already."
