A/N: This is for a lovely reviewer who just simply went by the name of Victoria. So, we can all blame - I mean thank for the plot bunny. This is a follow up to Baby Names.

The Name Complex:

By: LOSTrocker

Ivy couldn't stand it when people came up to her to pet the baby bump. It was getting annoying. She was normally one to flaunt but when it came to her bundle, she was rather productive, save but one.

"Hi Mary Lyn,"

Karen.

Ivy couldn't help but smile at her. She could see why Derek was head over heels in love with her. The girl was irresistible! Her voice, her grin.

"You're Auntie Karen can't wait to meet you so she can spoil you rotten."

Ivy chuckled inwardly because Karen was doing that all ready. She was helping Ivy stocking up on all the baby goodies she could possibly imagine. Karen just wanted her to let the little girl that it was from her favorite Aunt.

When Karen came up, she met Ivy's gaze. "What?"

"Nothing,"

"Everything is okay, right?" Karen questioned worried. "When Tom text me saying you needed to see me, I started to panic."

"No, no." Ivy assured with a waving of her hands.

"So, momma and baby are all right?"

"Yes, fine."

Karen gave a sigh of relief.

"It's just, well, I've changed my mind."

"About what?"

"Her name."

"Aww, but I thought we both agreed that it was cute,"

"We did, but I have a better idea."

"Which is?" Karen was almost scared to ask.

"Karen. I want to name her Karen."

It took a moment for her to realize what her best friend was saying. "W-what?" she muttered.

"You heard me. I want to name her Karen. Derek and I all ready talked about it, and he thinks it's adorable."

"Are you sure?" Karen continued, stunned. "I mean, naming her after someone like me."

"Who else better?"

"I don't understand."

"You don't have to. I'm the momma and dammit I can name my baby anything I want, and if I want to name her after my best friend-"

"Who am I to argue?"

"Exactly!" Ivy pointed in Karen's general direction. "Besides Karen, you're an inspiration. Look how far you've come along. What mother in her right mind wouldn't name a child after that?"

"I did have help you know."

"True, the point is, it's you my darling, you're not only Derek's muse, but to everyone else around you, even me."

"I'm going to quote you on that." Karen promised.

"Only if you thank me, and say that it would be an honor to be a name sake for my child." Ivy went for the baby bump rub to reel Karen in.

"Thank you, and it would be an honor." Karen mocked her. Only half heartily. One would think by now, she'd be use to this, but she wasn't. This wasn't the first time a friend named a baby after her. She almost felt jealous because she couldn't repay any of them. The key word here was almost.

"Wait, how are we going to distinguish whose Karen number one, and Karen number two? Isn't it going to be confusing?"

Not to Ivy. Her baby would be number one, always while Karen ranked up the number two slot.

END.
