Living La Vida Loca - Harry Lewis & ChrisMD

Chapter 56: Baby Night

-Evelyn's POV-

Chris shuts the door quietly behind him using his butt as he holds a tray, "Morning," I whisper sitting up as he walks over with a big smile on his face. He leans down giving me a quick kiss before setting the tray down on my lap. There are eggs, fruit, bacon, toast, and a large coffee cup.

He sits on the edge of the bed and leans his arm over my legs, "I thought I would make breakfast in bed," He grins making my eyes start to well up with tears. I swear I could see a butterfly land on a flower and start sobbing. I hate my hormones. He lightly brushes under my eye catching the singular tear that escaped and gives me an amused look.

"Charlie and Riley are still asleep," he informs me as I pick up a strawberry and pop it into my mouth, "Are you sure you still want to host tonight? I know the kids have been keeping us both up at night but you're still recovering," he says sounding a little worried. The only people in his large group of friends who have come over are Kyla and Harry. Everyone else was waiting for the invitation. Which we appreciate. Chip has been calling me every couple of days asking if either of the kids has subscribed to his channel yet. 

I put my hand on his cheeks so he stops overthinking it, "You have been amazing and doing so much more than you have to. I want to see everyone and it's just dinner. I'm sure Freezy isn't expecting Gordan Ramsey type cooking," I assure him. He leans into my touch making the smile on my face grow. He sits up and sits beside me as I hand him a piece of bacon. I'm surprised none of this is burnt. He has been more excited about cooking and being able to cook the kid's food before school. We have a couple of years but you can never be too prepared. 

Tonight we invited everybody. The only people who aren't busy are Talia, Simon, Chip, Freezy, George, Kyla, Harry, and Freya. The rest of the sidemen are doing a sidecast episode. Simon and Harry called dibs on being absent from it. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone's reaction to them and actually seeing Chris and I as parents. There's a little bit of pressure but I know I'm also overthinking. 

The rest of the day flies by with Chris and I checking in on the kids as we clean the house. I'm finishing up with the dishes as he walks in with Charlie in his arms, "Asleep?" I whisper as I walk closer to him. I see his bright eyes staring up at me as I lean my head on Chris's shoulder. 

"I wanted to make sure they were awake when everyone got here...and so we aren't up all night," He tells me. There is a look on his face that makes me never want to look away. Fatherhood suits him. I never expected to love someone as much as I love our little family. I also never expected a trip to Ibiza would make all this happen. Kyla walks into the apartment with Harry quietly with a bottle of wine. When they see Charlie is awake they rush over to see him. I shake my head in disbelief as I walk into the kid's room. Riley is staring at the small mobile that Tobi bought for her. It has sheep, stars, and little moon shapes hanging off it. 

I jump a little when I see Harry standing beside me. He apologizes with a laugh as I lean down to pick her up. I move to the side a little to give him a good view of her cute little face, "It's freaky how much she looks like the two of you," he says as he touches her feet that are covered in little booties. 

I look at him and narrow my eyes, "Can I trust you to keep an eye on her all night while I cook?" I ask as his eyes turn into round discs. He mock salutes me saying he is up for the challenge as we both laugh. He cuddles her in his arms as we walk out seeing Kyla and Chris chatting shit on the couch. There is another knock on the door as I run over pulling my hair out of the messy ponytail. When I open it up Talia pushes past me as Simon stands there with a small gift bag. 

He wraps his arms around me as I thank him for the gift. A voice calls out as I go to shut the door. I peek down the hall and see Chip, George, and Freezy, "I'm glad you guys could make it," I grin and Chip runs down almost pushing me over as he hugs me.

"Come on in," I tell them as I open the door wider and step out of the way. Everyone gathers in the living room as I walk to the kitchen. Talia talks over with a huge smile and tears in her eyes. I giggle as she wipes her tears but that only makes me want to cry as well. She has always been the emotional one in the group.

"Freya wanted me to let you know that she won't be able to make it. Her parents made a surprise trip into the city and she couldn't get out of it," She says leaning against the counter as she pours us both a glass of wine. 

"We can have a girls' night later this week," I offer up as Kyla walks in, "Speaking of girls' night. How is the wedding planning?" I ask. She starts helping me cook as we all talk and let the guys have their alone time. By the time everyone is ready to eat the guys have already planned out a Youtube channel for the twins. I don't know how I feel about it but I'm sure they are both going to grow up loving football. Maybe I can convince one of them to watch F1 with me. Hopefully, the guys are still cute in like twenty years so they understand the vibes. 

Simon stands up as Harry holds Riley. I'm surprised he hasn't put her back into her bassinet from his arms being tired. Charlie is fast asleep in their bedroom. Freezy is obsessed with the baby monitor. He says it makes him feel like a spy, "I would like to thank Chris and Evelyn for this amazing night. We are so proud of both of you and it's been an honor to be involved with the start of your family," He says holding his glass up. 

I hold my glass up and lean my head on Chris as he kisses the side of my head. It's a blessed feeling knowing everyone is here for them, "Let's eat before Talia and I cry again," I joke as I stand up assuring Harry he can take a break. He seems a bit sad as I carry her into the bedroom. 

"We should be next," Chip says grabbing Freezy's hand that's resting on the table next to his fork. He gives him the most brutal side eye as he scooches closer to George.
