Many might not understand the dynamic of Chris and Lizzie. Going from being secretly in this unspoken relationship to happily married. Those who knew Chris knew this wasn’t out of the ordinary for him. When he fell, he fell hard and fast, and wanted to be a husband. Maybe didn’t know that side of him except family, but he was glad that so far no one was giving him a hard time. They just wanted him to be happy. Having Elizabeth back in Australia though, feeling like this was the growing of his family? Best feeling he had had in a long time. Leaning in he brushed his lips against her cheek, grinning as he glanced over the expanse of counter where it was filled with all kinds of sugary sweets. “You realize putting them into a sugar coma isn’t the answer, right?” Chris couldn’t help but chuckle. Elizabeth already knew the kids, but he realized this was a far different conversation that they’d be having. “Would you feel better if we also had Elsa there in case things don’t go as well?” Of course he hadn’t planned to have his ex-wife there when explaining to the kids that he had remarried but he could see the benefits, especially if the kids started speaking in Spanish since he didn’t really know much of the language. “I still think you’re over worrying and you realize I can’t put on ten pounds right? We’ll be going back to work sometimes, how about we back away from the sugar slowly.” Chris tightened his hands around her pulling her back gently. “You know they’re gonna ask a question, if we’re gonna have babies.” His kids had always asked if he was gonna give them more brothers and sisters and this was sure to bring up that conversation. 

They couldn’t put off forever Lizzie meeting the kids, or meeting them as their new step-mother. Elsa and Chris had had a long talk a few days before, and she understood where his heart was coming from. Well, for the most part, she respected it enough. Which is all that Chris could ask for at this point. Discussions of how to tell the kids were had and today was the day that Chris and Lizzie would sit down with the three kids from his previous marriage and attempt to explain everything. Liam had been over earlier that morning, more than happy for his brother after everything. Distractions were needed so they two men had gone surfing in the morning before the younger brother had left to meet up with his girlfriend and Chris had to get back to Lizzie. Finding her in the kitchen he walked up to her and wrapped his arms around her from behind. “Elsa texted me, kids will be here in a few hours. She’s been trying to prepare them for us telling them, she thinks it’ll be fine.” Which was true, and he himself felt that there might be apprehension from India but she’d come around just from the fact that she loved Lizzie already. “I’m afraid you’re gonna run away screaming am I going to have to tie you down?” he chuckled, knowing that the blonde was far more nervous than she was trying to show. @lolsensf
