"It's sad to think that tomorrow is our last episode with you guys," James frowns. This was our sixth episode on the Late Late Show, and tomorrow was our final. "I'm going to miss you so much!" He pretends to cry, and Eloise being the sweetheart she is, went and hugged him.

Everyone 'aww'ed, and she blushed, still not used to all the attention - even though she was British Royalty.

"We'll miss you too, James." Shawn smiled.

"Well that doesn't sound very truthful now does it?" He gasped. "Try again."

Shawn laughed. "We'll miss you truly, James I-don't-know-your-middle-name Corden, we won't be able to live without you!"

"Much better."

The audience laughed. "But my middle name is Kimberley. How could you forget? I'm hurt, Shawn Peter Raul, hurt."

"Sorry James," Shawn apologised, "I guess I just have so many middle names to remember, that I forgot the most important one. Trust me, I won't forget it ever again, Kimberley. That is the manliest middle name I've ever heard."

"Are you mocking my middle name, Shawn? At least people can pronounce mine. Your fans don't know their 'R-ow-l's from their 'R-aw-l's."

I had to stiffle a laugh. "He's got a pont, Babe."

"Well, since we're on the topic of middle names, let's talk about yours. I seem to get stuck after Rose." James says, tapping his index finger on his chin. "You Royals and your middle names. Do you know it, Shawn?"

"I hope I do," he laughs. "I did have to memorise it for the wedding after all."

I smirked. "Alright then, what is it?"

He lets out a quiet 'umm'. "Eulilia, obviously, then Rose, Maria, Victoria, Charlotte and Elizabeth." The crowd applauds him, as do I. "Don't even ask me about the kids' though, I barely remember who's who."

Speaking of, Bentley was sitting as straight as a board, inbetween Shawn and I. Eloise was mimicking him, except she swung her legs back and fourth, and ended up resting her head against Shawn's arm. Noah had drifted off, his head on my lap, and Gianna looked around set, boredly, probably looking for mischief.

"What are their middle names, anyway? If you don't mind me asking, that is."

"Ben, do you remember your middle names?" I asked the five year old, who turned his attention to me. He nodded happily. "Would you like to tell James?"

The boy nodded again. "Charles, William, um- Con- Con-stan-tine, Manuel, Spencer!" I smiled and quietly applauded him, saying a small 'well done'.

"Charles and William are obviously honouring you father and brother, Eulilia, and Manuel honours your father, Shawn, but what about the others?" James asks out of curiosity.

"Spencer was my mothers surname," I explain, "and Constantine was just a random name we liked quite a bit." I turned to Eloise. "Elle, you know your first middle name, don't you?"

"Yeah!" She smiles. "Diana!"

"Diana Rosie Clementine Karen Belle." I said, running my fingers through her blonde hair. "Rosie was a nickname my Grandmother gave me when I was young, Clementine was to match Bentley's 'Constantine', Karen is to honour Shawn's mum, and Belle was a friend of mine."

"Noah doesn't know his," Shawn says, "But it's the only one I can remember!" The audience, myself and James included, laughs. "Frankie Leo Henry Everett."

I smile. "Frankie was simply because it was cute, so was Leo, actually, along with it being Shawn's zodiac sign, Henry is obviously my brother, and Everett just seemed to flow nicely."

"I honestly can't remember Gia's." Shawn said, clearing his throat. "All I remember is that Aaliyah's name is in there somewhere."

"You should at least know her first middle name, since I scold her so much. She's a troublemaker alright." Shawn mutters a little 'that she is'. "Lucille Isolde Gabrielle Aaliyah Theodora."

"Fun fact!" Shawn says quickly, scaring me half to death. "Lucille was originally going to be her fist name until we found Gianna."

James neatens the stack of index cards. "I did hear about that somewhere. And, if I'm honest, which I always am, I've already forgotten most of the names."

The crowd laughs at James' forgetfulness, no doubt also having fotgotten their names. "Anyways, Isolde is just a strong name that I likes and didn't let Shawn have a say in, Gabrielle is a name the both of us chose, Aaliyah is his sister, and I always liked the sound of 'Aaliyah Theodora'."

"Gianna Lucille, do not hit your brother!" I scolded as the young toddler slapped Noah consistantly, trying to wake him up. She succeeded.

She pouted and crossed her arms, snuggling up next to Shawn. She's such a daddy's girl.

"Our last question for the night is for the kids," James said. Oh no. "Who do you think is the best parent? Mummy or Daddy?"

The four looked back and fourth, Gianna instantly pointing to Shawn. I placed my hand over my heart and gaped. "I feel so betrayed." They all laughed, probably not even knowing what that sentence meant.

Noah stayed by my side, being the sweet child he is. "We get one twin each by the looks of it, Muffin."

"You must like muffins alot, Shawn." James chuckled.

"I do. That's one of the reasons it's her nickname. That and the authors friend forced me to call her that back in book one."

James and the audience gave him a strange look before shaking it off. Eloise shyly slid to my side of the couch, giving her father an apologetic look. He smiled at her, letting her know it was okay. Bentley sat inbetween both sided and shrugged. He's too loving to choose sides.
