I sighed, staring at the sky full of stars. How dull it was me feeling worried about being displaced by my unborn sibling... Up until a few minutes ago I was an only child, for twenty years it was just me. I wasn't really sad, just worried I'd be seeing my mother even less.

–A penny for your thoughts?

–Hi, François. –I turned to look at him with a smile.– Congratulations... on the baby.

–I'm guessing you didn't take the news well?

–No, no... it's nothing like that.

–It would be understandable if you didn't like the news, totally normal. I mean you just found out about your mom's relationship and now you're having a sibling? It's a lot to take in.

–Yeah... but I'm genuinely happy for you two.

–Thank you. –we stayed silent for a couple minutes until he broke it.– Y/n, I don't want you to think we're pressuring to accept this new family thing... I tried to convince your mom to tell you we were dating since the beginning but you know how stubborn she can be.

–Yeah, I get that from her. –we chuckled.

–I know you just met me and as I said, I don't want to pressure you into accepting this but I'm here for you, okay? I'm not trying to replace your dad and I know I never will but if you want to... eventually, when you're ready, I can be a father figure to you as well. As I said, only if you want me to...

Wow, I guess he really do loves my mom...

–Thank you. I really appreciate this. –I smiled without showing my teeth and nodding. We stared at each other and after a few seconds of doing so, we hugged, it felt natural yet necessary.

–Seems like someone's waiting for you. –he said breaking the hug and looking at the opened door behind us. Chris was standing there.– I'll leave you two alone.

–Merci, François.

–De rien, ma petite.

He got inside, patting Chris' back along the way and then Chris walked up to me. I could tell he was a bit unsure about what to do or say but I smiled, embracing him, wrapping my head around his body maintaining eye contact.

–Are you okay, beautiful?

–Yup. –he stared deep into my eyes, trying to figure out if I was telling the truth.– I'm being honest. –I chuckled.– I promise.

–I wanted to come here first and your mother did too but François got ahead of us. –he smiled.

–I'm glad he did, he's a nice guy... –I stared to the woods ahead of us. You could see the stables and pool from this balcony, they were opposite to each other yet both were right at the beginning of the woods.

–So now you like him?

–I never disliked him I just needed to know him better. I still do but now I have a better idea of how he's like.

–I'm glad, gorgeous. –I sighed.

–I called your friend. –I turned to look at him with a subtle smile. He hummed, wondering who I was talking about.– David Whitaker.

–You did? –he smiled widely and I nodded.

–Yup. I guess I know have a manager and we'll be working on a few songs when I go back to Boston. Although he... –Chris started excitedly laughing and picked me up, spinning me around and simultaneously cutting me off.

I began laughing at how excited he was, it was actually really cute. He put me back on the ground and hugged me tight. My mom appeared with a brow lifted and confused look on her face, asking us what was happening. I told her about signing a contract with David and she got excited as well.

–For a split second I thought you were that excited about becoming a big sister.

–No... –she looked at me with a serious yet sad expression.– but I am happy.

–We should all celebrate with a glass of champagne, François has a great selection!

–Mom... you're literally pregnant.

–Ay Y/n, I meant you should drink it, not me. –she said walking back inside.– Come on, come on, vamos a decirles las noticias. –she disappeared and Chris looked at me.

–What did she say?

–Let's go tell them the news.

–Oh right. –I was about to begin walking back inside but he took my arm.– Wait, wait.

–What? –I smiled. He kissed my lips quickly making me blush.

–I have a little surprise for you tomorrow.

–Chris! Don't tell me that unless you're revealing what it is now! My anxiety won't let me sleep and I'll bother you until you tell me what it is. –I laughed.

–You'll have to wait because I'm not telling you, no matter how hard you bother me.

He kissed my nose and dragged me back inside, where my mom was telling everyone the news without waiting for me to do it. François yelled excited while his kids applauded. His son was smiling and Mathilde too but she didn't seem completely genuine.

After about an hour of everyone cheering, talking and finishing out dinner, Chris and I went back to our rooms because he said we should get a nice goodnight sleep since we would be getting up pretty early in the morning.

~~~~~~

–Bonjour, ma chérie.

A pair of lips crashed mine and I just squirmed turning around, avoiding him. I covered my head with the bed covers but Chris took them away and carried me to the bathroom. I started complaining until he left me on the bathtub.

–Chris, I swear, I'm gonna kill you.

–You can kill me after you shower. –He winked at me and closed the door behind him.

–This is too early to start living. –I mumbled to myself getting up.

I took my clothes off and let the water start running. I got inside the shower still half asleep. It was still dark outside which made it slightly more difficult to wake up. I really needed a coffee... After about fifteen minutes, I got out of the shower and began untangling my hair and applying my make up.

Once I finished with that, I went back to my room and chose my outfit for the day. I had to beg Chris through text to tell me what to wear since he wouldn't tell me where we were going. I ended up wearing shorts, sneakers and an oversized t-shirt. I picked a light jacket, a bucket hat and a crossbody bag, stuffing my money, sunglasses and chapstick there.

I checked one last time I wasn't forgetting anything and then I went downstairs to the kitchen to grab a little snack before we left and to my surprise, Chris was there too.

–Did I dress okay? I tried my best with your vague information.

–You're good and looking stunning.

–I love you. –I said putting my arms around his neck and pecking his lips.

–I love you. –he said smiling.

–Are we going to be on the sun the whole day?

–Yeah, a big part of it... why?

–Can you lend me one of your caps? –I said grabbing an apple and giving it a bite.

–Already a step ahead of you. –he said putting one of his favorite caps on my head. It was from his favorite baseball team: the Boston Red Sox.– I wanted to give you mine but it's a little worn out so I bought you a new one.

–I'm amazed... you're the best. –I kissed his cheek.

–We better get going, sunshine.

~~~~~~

–Merci, Louis. –said Chris thanking François' chauffeur and taking my hands to help me get down from the car since he blindfolded me.

–De rien, monsieur Evans.

–Practicing your French, I see... –I said.

–Practicing one of the few words I know because my girlfriend won't teach me.

–You never asked me to! –I laughed.

–You know what, I'll just carry you because knowing you, you'll probably fall. –he said picking me up bridal style and then putting me back on the floor.

–Oh thank you, I love it when you flatter me. –I said sarcastically.– Merci beaucoup, Louis!

I heard Chris close the car's door and Louis voice saying "you're welcome" once again before that. Chris picked me up one more time and began walking. I began bothering him, begging him to tell me where we were but it didn't take me long to have an idea once I heard certain music playing.

–Are we in Disneyland Paris? –I asked in a kind of defeated term obvious tone. Chris sighed and put me back on the ground taking the blindfold off my face.

–Couldn't you wait a few seconds more? –he asked slightly sad, grabbed my shoulders and turned me around gently.

–Awww, this is amazing! –I said looking at the castle in front of me and turning back to see Chris.– You're the best, Evans! –I said hugging him tight.

–You liked the surprise? Even if you figured it out seconds before the grand reveal?

–I absolutely loved it, thank you, thank you, thank you. –I said giving his nose a kiss between every thank you.

Some cast members were behind us smiling, I recognized their outfits from a video that said that Disney workers who wore those types of vests were the ones that gave celebrities private tours of the parks and took them everywhere in the secret paths to avoid crowds. Chris had really outdone himself.

We went straight to buy something to eat. We both got coffee and I chose a cinnamon roll while Chris a croissant. We sat down to eat trying to charge ourselves with as much energy as we could since we would be needing it today.

–Okay so today I'm going to eat like a pig because I've seen a lot of videos and red blogs about Disney's food and I don't want to miss anything.

–Babe, you always get full after five bites, I want to see you try eating everything Disneyland Paris offers you.

–Are you doubting me? –I asked taking one of my hands to my chest and pretending to be offended. He was actually right.– Are you... challenging me, Evans? –he began laughing loudly like he always does.– Well, challenge accepted. You're going to swallow your words, mark this.

–Okay, okay. Let's see how you do.

When we finished our food, the cast members took us to the first ride through the "secret" passages or at least through the less busy and crowded streets. Chris was holding my waist. He had bought the fast pass so we didn't have to spend a lot of time on the queues.

Chris chose a not so extreme ride as our first one, which I was grateful for because I hadn't told him this but I'm actually afraid of rollercoasters. However, Disneyland is so amazing so I was willing to try and put away my fear and go through as much rides, coasters and games as we can.

We were currently waiting on the line for our third ride when Chris noticed me more quiet and began asking me if I was feeling okay so I opened up to him about my fear.

–I didn't know, princess, I'm sorry. We don't have to ride whichever rides you don't want, there's still plenty to do.

–No, no, it's okay, I promise. It's Disney, you must go to all attractions!

–Y/n, seriously we don't... –I interrupted him.

–I want to, I promise. –I said quickly pecking his lips, hoping to not be seen or photographed by anyone.– You're too sweet.

The whole day went by so fast, we were having lots of fun together. We had to go back to Grosrouvre which was the region where my mom's and François' château is located today so we were having our last meal here before the firework show began since we'd be leaving right after.

Today only about three people recognized Chris throughout the day and asked him for a picture. We were at ease with that since we weren't quite ready to announce our relationship to the whole world. He was kissing my cheek repeatedly while we waited in line to be seated at the Ratatouille restaurant but I told him to stop when I saw a couple teenage girls taking pictures of us.

–Wait, I think they're taking pictures. –he stopped and lightly turned.

–Fuck. –he turned back and took his arm from my waist.– They are... shit. –he said clearly mad.

–It's okay, calm down. It's not like the media will be speculating about us for the first time.

–Yeah... I'm sorry, baby.

–It's okay, honey.

We were finally sat us down and thankfully it was in a more private area. I could tell we were both pretty exhausted since we were mostly silent. After we ordered our dinner, Chris slid closer to me and I rested my head on his chest. We stayed like that for a few minutes. Thankfully we were on a booth and there weren't as much people around.

–I had a great day, thank you. –I said and he kissed the top of my head.

–You really did? –He asked and I looked at him. I nodded and kissed his lips.

–Yup. And I have a surprise for you tomorrow.

–What is it? –He asked while the waitress handed us our food. We thanked her and kept talking.

–It's a surprise! Duh!

We laughed and began eating since we had about half an hour before the fireworks show started. Even though we were in a relatively private area, we could tell some people were looking at us, mostly teenage girls.

We were aware the tabloids would go all crazy tomorrow morning but even if we were not going to make our relationship public yet, after discussing it we were more at ease with being in the public eye. As long as we had each other, everything was worth it.
