Sophisticated Burping
-Drabble-

She scoffed. "No matter how many times you bring it up, we're not naming him Derek!"

"Come on, Case. We can call him DJ if it makes you feel better." He rubbed his hands together.

Shaking her head, she lifted her brows for emphasis. "No. Way." She crossed her arms over her inflated stomach. "I want something... sophisticated and unique." She lifted her nose.

"Hey!" His brows furrowed. "First of all, my name rocks!" He smirked. "And second of all... That kid is mine, meaning it's pretty unlikely he'll be anywhere near sophisticated."

She scoffed. "He's half mine meaning there's only a fifty percent change he'll come out burping!" She wrinkled her nose at him.

He laughed. "Whatever Space-Case, let's just get him named before he gets here, all right?"

She nodded, wiggling around in her seat and putting a hand to her stomach. "Only four more weeks, baby boy, and then you're out to greet the world!"

"Way to be dramatic," her husband muttered, rolling his eyes. "And quit playing all that opera music for him. He's gonna be a hockey player, I just know it."

"Well if you weren't reciting statistics to him when you think I'm napping, he'd at least get to choose what he wanted to be!"

"He's not even born yet. All he'll want is food and a clean diaper." He leered at her, smirking. "Judging by where his food comes from, he's got a good life."

She pursed her lips, trying to hide her amusement. "Shut up and open the book again."

Sighing, Derek spread the big book of baby names across his lap. "What letter were we at?"

"J," she said, leaning against him, her head on his shoulder. She sighed lightly, her hand rubbing circles on her tummy. She felt his head fall to the side, perched against her own as they went through the list.

"Joseph," she said.

"Only if I get to pronounce it Yo-seph," he said, laughing.

She snorted. "Next."
