(A/N: Well, Ashley and I thought of a last name for Henry, and I thought this would be a more fun way to introduce it to the world than just mentioning in an author's note, "Oh, Henry's last name is such-and-such." So…read this to find out what it is. Enjoy!)
Last Name
"Natalie?" Henry says. He traces circles in her hands with his fingers.
"Hmm?" Natalie's eyes are closed, and she looks totally relaxed for a change, instead of stressed out like normal.
"If we got married, would you take my last name?"
"What?" Natalie's eyes fly open, and the stressed look returns to her face.
"Um, I said—" Henry begins. He would have never asked that question if he'd known that she would freak out as soon as he asked it.
"No, I heard you. But, I mean, why would you ask that question?"
Henry shrugged. "I was just curious."
Natalie continues her rant. "Do you really think I'm one of those girls who make up every detail of their wedding with every guy they go out with?"
"No, but—"
"Do you really think making me think about getting married is going to decrease the stress in my life in any way?"
"No, but—" Henry doesn't even know why he tries. When Natalie gets like this, there's no stopping her.
"Besides, Natalie Black is the weirdest name I have ever heard."
Henry sighs. Note to self, he thinks. If I ever ask Natalie to marry me, be willing to change my last name to Goodman.
(A/N: Reviews are love!)
