Being an Evans (Sequel to Sadly, I'm in Love with You)

Chapter 15

Natalie's P.O.V

I laid in the bed, and silently read through the book of baby names, whilst Chris snored loudly beside me. Unlike the last time, Chris and I have been disagreeing about a baby girl name for the past week, mostly because he expected our next child to be a boy, and instead it's a girl. I want to name her Arabella Leighton, but Chris wants to name her Elizabeth Tate, which to be all honest seems a bit old fashioned.

I feel the bed shift, and I watch as Chris leaves the bed, and enters the en suite bathroom, "Good morning," I greet once he comes back into the bedroom.

"Good morning..." Chris replies, and kisses my forehead gently, "Were you up all night again?" He then asks.

"Do you want the truth?" I ask, avoiding the question.

"Yes, Natalie." Chris answers, and then leans back onto his pillows, looking at me, obviously waiting for an answer.

"Yeah, I can't help it though, we have to have a name before our baby shower, which by the way is in three days." I reply, quickly looking away from the frown on Chris's face. 

"But picking a name isn't as important as keeping you healthy, Natalie." Chris says, a reassuring smile occupying his face.

"I know..." I trail off thoughtfully.

"I know how to settle this, who ever wins the best of 3 matches of rock, paper, scissors gets to name the baby." Chris says suddenly, out of nowhere.

"Really, Chris?" I ask almost sarcastically, but then stop myself short because it's actually a good idea, "Never mind, let's get going." I add.

After three matches of a childish game, we've picked the name for our daughter. Chris won 2-1, and we named our unborn daughter, Elizabeth Tate. Honestly, the name is starting to grow on me, and I think I want to nickname her Ellie. 

A Few Hours Later

I was making lunch for Chris and I, when Chris walked into the large kitchen, "Nat, can I ask you something?" He asked.

"Sure...." I trail off, skeptical of what he is going to ask.

"Would you mind flying out with me tonight to New York?" Chris asks, a hopeful look in his eyes.

"For what?" I ask in reply.

"The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, " Chris starts with a smile, "He wants us to be on the show tomorrow night." He adds.

I'm flabbergasted, "Us?" I question.

"Yes, apparently we're the Hollywood "It" couple." Chris says with a laugh.

"I'll go, but I have to find someone to watch Elias and Percy." I say, and grab the land line from the base on the counter, dialing the number for Lauren's cellphone.

Instead of answering, it goes to her voice mail, "Hey, this is Lauren Holt, sorry I couldn't come to the phone, I'm supporting my man in St. Louis." I curse, and hang up the phone, I should've known that Lauren and Brock would be on the road this week.

I soon decide to call my mother, after a few rings she answers, "Hello." She states, with her normal tone.

"Hey, it's Nat, by any chance could you watch the boys for two days?" I ask hopefully.

"I'm sorry, Natalie, I can't I have to take your grandma to the doctor in Foxborough." She replies.

"Okay, thanks." I say shortly, not entirely meaning it, and hang up the phone.

The last person I could call would be Layne, but he and his girlfriend Ally aren't really used to the boys, and the boys aren't really used to be around them. So, that would be a disaster, but then again they are my last chance, so I call anyway.

Layne finally answers after a few rings, and I sigh, "Hey, Natalie." He states, a questioning tone laced in his voice.

"Hey, Layne, could you and Ally watch Elias and Percy for a couple of days, Chris and I have to go to New York?" I ask, again with the hopeful tone I had with my mother.

"Sure, we don't have anything to do," He answers, and I let out the breath I had been holding in, "I'm actually in Boston right now, do you want me to swing by and pick them up?" He asks.

"That would be great, thanks." I reply, and after saying goodbye, we both hang up.

I rush upstairs and pack the boys diaper bags with three outfits and pajamas each, I load them with extra wipes and diapers, and put all the baby food and formula they would need into their large diaper bags. 

After I have finished packing for the boys, I inform Chris that we can go, and go back downstairs and wait with the boys for their uncle. About 15 minutes later, the sound of a car coming up the driveway, hits my ears. I inform Chris that Layne is here, and he comes downstairs and we say goodbye to the boys. Chris helps Layne load the boys into Layne's Mercedes Benz E63, and soon enough they leave. 

Chris and I begin to pack, almost immediately after Layne left. When we were finished packing, both Chris and I got our showers, and got ourselves ready for our 4:30 flight. 

By 3:30, we were all ready to go, Chris and I collected our bags, and made our way into the garage to load the Range Rover. When we had loaded all the luggage into the trunk, we got onto the road. 

The ride was short, but it felt long. When we made it to the airport, we were 15 minutes early, so we sat in the waiting area patiently for our plane to board. Right at 4:30 they called our flight, and we load with our luggage.
