Narrative:
We departed the gate on time; and elected to not start the number 2 engine until we had a better idea of takeoff time. We briefed the expected taxi out and were given a taxi clearance slightly different than expected. Shortly after we began taxi; captain (ca) ordered start of number 2 engine. I initiated the engine start; and while the engine was starting; we were told to cross the runway and monitor tower. As we crossed the runway; I switched to tower frequency and immediately was told we were next for takeoff and shortly after cleared us to line up and wait with aircraft on 5 mile final. The ca stated that he was unsure of where the taxi line was in relation to 'the block' as there was another aircraft in the block. I looked up to assist; got distracted from my duties; and did not complete the after engine start flow (APU bleed off; APU off; gen 2 on; pack 2 on; the before takeoff checklist was completed. At that point; we were advised there was an aircraft on 2.5 mile final. After takeoff; once established on the RNAV SID; I realized my error and advised the ca before turning on generator; pack; and shutting off APU.
