Hobbit Premiere: Luke and Evie
Inspired by this post. You can find more Luke/Evie one-shots on my blog actorfrustration.
“Are you sure I look fine?” Evie asked Luke.
“Yes darling”, he told her.
“You don’t think it looks weird?” she asked him, smoothing the dress over her baby bump.
The dress was a black Oscar de la Renta gown with gold sequins sewn into the shape of leaves.
“You look amazing, love”, he said wrapping his arms around her waist from behind.
She sat on the bed and let Luke slip her Giuseppe Zanotti black suede high heels on her feet.
“Remind me again why you’re wearing high heels when you’re pregnant?” Luke asked her.
“Because I’m a model and I have a reputation to uphold”, she told him.
Luke rolled his eyes at her.
Ever since she had become pregnant, it took her twice as long to pick out outfits.
She said that she still wanted to look fashionable.
Her new wardrobe had cost Luke a pretty penny, but he wanted to please her and keep her happy.
Luke helped her up and she went into the bathroom to put on her gold leaf earrings and gold leaf cuff bracelet.
Evie was absolutely breathtaking. She had that pregnancy glow. She touched up her makeup and looked at herself at the mirror.
“Darling, we have to get going”, Luke said softly.
She nodded and grabbed her clutch purse.

They pulled up to the premiere.
Luke got out first and greeted the press and paparazzi. He turned to Evie and held out his hand.
This wouldn’t be the first premiere they attended together, but it was the first one they had attended as a couple.
Evie knew the paparazzi were going to go nuts once they saw she was expecting. She wasn’t sure she was ready for the questions.
“Ignore the paparazzi”, Luke told her.
Evie took a deep breath and took Luke’s hand.
He helped her out of the limo and was nearly blinded. Luke kept his arm around Evie’s waist with his hand resting on her stomach.
While they were walking the red carpet, the paparazzi were yelling questions at them, wondering if Luke was the father.
While walking the red carpet, they were greeted by various co-stars of Luke’s.
Lia, Lee’s fiancé, rushed over to her and hugged her. “Look at you!” she said.
Richard’s wife, Tish, joined them.
“Looks like I’m not the only one”, Evie said, noticing Tish’s new baby bump.
“I know. Rich is so excited!” Tish said.
“What are you having?” Lia asked Evie.
“It’s too soon to know, but I think Luke is hoping for a boy”, Evie said, “How’s Alexandria?”
“She’s growing so fast. Lee wants to have another one, but I don’t think that’s in the cards right now”, Lia said sadly.
“Oh darling. If it’s meant to happen, it will”, Tish told her.
“I think we should get back to our men before they start to cause trouble”, Evie said.
The three women made their way over to their men.

When Luke and Evie returned home, Evie collapsed onto the bed.
Luke chuckled as he slipped the high heels off her feet.
“No more heels”, he told her.
“I’m sorry we couldn’t go to the after-party”, she said.
“Evie, do you really think I care about a silly after-party?” he asked her, “All I care about is you and our son being healthy and safe”.
“You still think it’s a boy?” she asked him.
“I know it’s a boy”, Luke said kissing her.
