Chapter 10

Tensions were high in the house the next day. Lisette refused to work with anyone and kept asking to run errands. When she could, she purposely forgot things, so she could go out again. (Sarah was too stressed to notice.)

However, tensions were no excuse to stop working. Tomorrow happened to be a Sunday, so James was printing.

Henri was carrying the papers to the door. As he was walking, George Washington wandered past. Henri tried to get out of the way but lost his balance. He rolled head over heels into the wall, leaving a dent. James, Sarah and Lisette turned and saw Henri on his bottom, with papers floating around him, and they had no better choice than to laugh.

When they had finished, Lisette broke the silence. "I'm sorry for what I said, Henri."

"I'm alright," he replied, "even though my butt is a little sore."

The baby cooed.

"Does she even have a name?" inquired Lisette.

"Is she even a she?" said Henri.

"Yes," said Lisette. "I know. Sarah, we haven't given her a name."

"Oh dear," said Sarah. "And I thought that we were alright. James, why didn't you tell me?"

"Hey," replied James indignantly, "I didn't know that you Brits cared as much as we did."

"Shush, James."

"What?"

"What's in consideration?" interrupted Henri. He was getting bored of their tittering. "Sarah the second?"

Sarah sighed, exasperated, but obviously was trying to hold back her laugh. "We'll consider it."

"Lisette the second?"

"Henri!"

Roses bloomed in Lisette's cheeks. "It's fine, Sarah."

A silence passed. "That it?" asked James.

"Wait! Evelyn. It's my grandmother's name. She was so nice and sweet. I hope that she'll live up to the name." said Lisette.

"Evelyn. We could call her Eve," said James.

"Hello, Evelyn," said Sarah. "Welcome to the world."

Evelyn cooed.

I don't really have lots to say, but thanks for all the wonderful reviews! They have touched my heart! Love, life, and Fanficton!
