So yeah, I'm back again! Just an idea I had, let me know what you think of it, thanks!

….

"Rock paper scissors? That's how you want to decide this?"

"Well what's your brilliant suggestion?"

Wade paused, thinking for a minute as Zoe stared at him "Alright fine, so how do we do this?"

Zoe sat herself up in the bed "We each say a name, we then play rock paper scissors and whoever wins gets to use the name of their choice."

Wade winced a little, he wasn't 100% sure this was how you were meant to name your child, but they were getting desperate. Zoe sensed he was uneasy at the thought of naming his son through the means of some childish recreation but she feared if they waited much longer then their son would starting responding to TBD.

Wade propped himself into a more comfortable position on the edge of the bed and put his hand out in front of him.

"Ready? Got your name?" Zoe asked as she put her hand just inches away from his.

"Yep." He answered as they began to move their closed fists up and down. Zoe stared intensely at his moving fist as did he.

"One… two… three." Zoe said quickly as both ripped open their hands to reveal their choices. Wade glared at her middle and index finger set apart to make the shape of a scissors and then looked down at his flat palm. He hung his head as Zoe smiled.

"See that was pretty simple wasn't it?"

Wade could only groan "Alright so what name you got?"

Zoe paused for a minute as she looked over at the sleeping baby in the hospital bassinet that stood just a foot away from them "Charlie."

Wade winced almost immediately.

"What's wrong with Charlie? Charlie Hart-Kinsella? It's a nice name." She argued as Wade continued a look of disdain on his face.

"It is a nice name, I also thought it was nice name back in '07 when I was doin' a girl with that exact name in the back of a pick-up truck."

Zoe's face fell "Are you kidding me? I thought we would've had this problem if we had a girl… but a boy?! What are we going to do? Our son is pushing 30 hours without a name!"

Wade knew she was getting stressed and that was the last thing he wanted. He moved up the bed to bed beside her, putting his arm around her, similar to 30 hours ago. He glanced over at their son, who despite all the commotion, continued to sleep soundly.

"Doc, listen to me. It has been a crazy 2 days and he is 3 weeks early so really when you think about it, it's partly his fault he doesn't have a name yet."

Zoe let a little laugh slip, she loved his attempts to make her smile but she still felt guilty they didn't have a name for him yet- even if he did arrive 3 weeks early. She hooked her left arm under his right one and linked their hands together as she rested her head on his shoulder. Wade was so exhausted that the moment he felt her head against his shoulder his eyes became heavy and slowly they began to close. Zoe looked up at him- unlike her, who had managed to sleep on and off for a few hours, Wade had slept minimal hours. He insisted on staying up in the hours after the birth- cradling his new-born son as he let Zoe sleep and last night when Lavon offered to stay, he was adamant on remaining by his family's side. Zoe didn't disturb him but it seemed like the newest member of their family had different ideas. It still seemed strange to Zoe to hear his tiny squeals and it was extremely overwhelming to think he was now their responsibility. Wade woke the second he heard the fragile cries and looked over the bassinet.

"I got him." He said to Zoe before she had a chance to move. She watched on proudly as he slowly picked the wriggling infant from the bassinet and embraced him in his arms. She couldn't help but smile as he made his way back onto the bed. Slowly the cries reduced to whinging and then down to the occasional whimper.

"It won't always be that easy." Zoe joked; not wanting to take away from Wade's little victory of comforting their son.

Wade smiled at her as he continued to bounced the baby lightly until he drifted back to sleep. Both his parents continued to dote over him as he slept, Zoe not stressing over her nameless son and Wade not stressing over his wife stressing.

"I still can't believe it, that I freaked out over somethin' this incredible." Wade said with all his attention on their son.

"It seemed so daunting back then…" Zoe said honestly as she rested her hand on the blanket that was wrapped around his tiny body "… it still does, but not as much as before." She looked up at Wade who met her stares half way. He gave her a small smile before pressing his lips against hers. Together they felt nothing but perfection- it trumped the exhaustion and the hormones and the emotions, it was just the three of them.

….

"I still can't believe y'all dumped Lavon out of the name race…" Lavon complained as he looked down at the sleeping baby in Lemon's arms. She could only roll her eyes as Zoe giggled. Wade re-emerged from the bathroom with a fresh shirt on and a clean shave. Zoe could still see the dark rings of tiredness under his eyes but it was an improvement.

"So, when do you guys think you'll get home?" Lemon asked as she struggled to peel her attention from the baby.

"Later today hopefully, you guys mind bringin' us home? Both our cars are still in Bluebell." Wade asked as he took a seat at the end of the bed.

"Sure." Lavon answered as Lemon placed the baby into his arms.

Wade looked at Zoe "Great, thanks. Also, y'all mind goin' out and buyin' us a car seat? We hadn't gotten around to buyin' one of those yet." He asked sneakily as Lavon scoffed.

"Consider it our gift." Lemon said politely as Lavon completely ignored the conversation- too engrossed in the newest addition to the Plantation family.

"You sure? Cause those things are very expens-"

"Whoa Doc…" Wade said interrupting her "… if they wanna buy us one as a gift, then it would be rude to say no."

Lemon smiled, knowing full well the price of the item but she didn't have an issue with it. She looked back down at the peaceful baby.

"Still no name?" She asked hopefully as Zoe's frustration reared its ugly head once again.

"Not yet, we can't agree on many and those we do agree on just don't feel right. They don't suit him."

Wade rubbed his hand up and down her back, trying to ease her bubbling emotion and it worked to a certain extent but they both knew this would continue to be an issue until they decided on a name. Lemon could see their frustration and soon saw that not everyone picked their children's names when they were 12 years old.

"What about family names?"

Zoe sighed "I don't want to name him after my dad…" she looked over at Wade "… and we can't call him Harley for reasons we won't speak about now, we don't really have any other options."

Lemon thought for a moment "Well what about somethin' trendy, let the kid really make his mark."

"Lavon." Lavon suggested as Wade smiled to himself. Lemon threw her new fiancé a serious glare and quickly the mayor refocused all his attention on the baby.

"I think you guys are just over thinkin' this whole thing…" Lemon stated "… when the perfect name comes along, you'll know." She spoke so confidently it almost made Zoe mad, but she greatly appreciated the help.

"So how you feelin' Zoe?" Lavon asked as he gently placed her son in her arms. The baby moved only slightly during the transfer but must've known he was in his mother's arms because he didn't make a sound.

"Tired, but good…" she paused "…but you know, I thought the cravings for pastries would go after I had the baby but…"

"I put an order into the Butterstick this mornin', there'll be a fresh box when waitin' for you when you get home." Lavon said, knowing it would be only a matter of time before she brought up the pastries.

Zoe smiled to herself "You're the best" as Wade smiled also.

….

It was close to 7 by the time the new family arrived home, between Wade and Lavon's intense discussion over how to install the car seat and Zoe's last minute freak out over the baby being okay to go home it took them an hour longer than it should have. Lavon had strategically arranged the town bingo bonanza for the same time they were due home, keeping all visitors at bay. The sun was just setting on a warm day as Wade and Zoe slowly climbed the steps of the carriage house with their son safely secured in his carrier.

"Welcome home TBD." Wade joked as he opened the door and led them inside. Zoe couldn't help but smile at his joke. All she could think about was having a shower and lying in her own bed but it seemed that the only other townspeople not at the bingo was Earl and May, who were eager to meet the newest arrival.

"Knock knock." Earl announced as Wade swung around to see his father and father's girlfriend standing in the doorway with a bouquet of flowers and a wrapped present in their respective hands. Wade looked over at Zoe and smiled awkwardly.

"We saw the car pulled up and said we better get in before the crowd…" Earl stated as he looked at his son.

"It is okay we're here, isn't it?" May asked but Zoe was quick to ease her queries.

"Of course it is… you guys are family."

Wade tingled hearing her say that. The last few days had been so crazy he hadn't gotten a chance to really dwell on the fact that they were now husband and wife- another form they needed to fill out, but he wasn't going to worry about that just now.

"I just had to come and see my grandson…" Earl said proudly as he watched Zoe lift the tiny baby from the carrier. He watched as his tiny head rotated slowly before nuzzling into his mother's chest and how his tiny outstretched arms latched onto Zoe's jumper and didn't let go "… and my daughter in law."

Wade blushed and Zoe noticed, smiling over at him as Earl and May doted over the newest family member.

"I always knew you two would end up together…" Earl stated as he looked over at his son "…this one was crazy 'bout you from day one. Even when you two were with those other people, I knew you'd be together eventually."

Zoe smiled "Do you want to hold him?"

Earl's brow raised slightly "Really?"

"Well yeah, you are his grandpa after all."

Earl smiled to himself as he took a seat on the couch, slowly Zoe set his grandson in his arms as Earl's stomach jumped and his eyes began to fill with tears. May took a seat beside him and placed her hand on his shoulder for support and Zoe did the same when she saw Wade standing in front of his father with tears in his eyes.

"He's a cracker son, well done."

Wade smiled "Thanks Dad…"

Earl cleared his throat as he looked over at May and then back at his grandson "I sure wish your Momma was here to see this little boy… she'd be real proud."

Wade sighed as he looked down at Zoe. Her heart broke in that moment. The only imperfect thing about the last few days was that both Harley and Wade's mom were absent and although she had only ever seen photos of his mother, she knew that every good quality Wade exhibited came from her and that he wouldn't be the man he was today if it wasn't for her.

"Wade…" Zoe whispered up to him.

"Yeah…" He answered back down to her.

"I know what his name is; I know what we should name our son…."

….

Let me know what you think thanks!
