Hi! This is a new collection of drabbles about Ben, Mal and their family! I hope you'll all enjoy!
Ben and Mal had found out they were expecting a baby about 5 months ago, meaning they were faced with the tedious task of naming said child. Though the task was far more difficult than it should have been, for they had decided to make the gender a surprise.
"Under no circumstances are we naming this child Bertha or Florian," Mal insisted, knowing Ben would likely tease her about it, probably with something about how they are both wonderful names.
"What about Tedros?" Ben suggested, not really bring serious, but trying to see if Mal was actually paying attention.
Seeing as she shot him a death glare, he knew she was being absolutely serious about finding a name for their child this time.
Running down the list for a couple more seconds, Ben came up with one he actually liked and absolutely loved the meaning of.
"How about Theodore? It says here that it means 'God's gift' and we can call him Theo for short!" Ben beamed, very excited now.
"Theo," Mal tested it out on her tongue, surprisingly liking the sound of it, "Theodore Adam? After your father?" She suggested, having put some thought into it. As he nodded yes, she looked down at the name book in her lap, opening it to a random page, with her eyes landing on the name Sophia.
"Ben?" She paused, waiting for him to pay attention, "What about Sophia? Sophia Belle? It means 'wisdom'. After your mother?" As she felt herself beaming she knew that she loved this name and that if their baby was a girl she would love to name her it.
"Now that we got that task out of the way," Ben started, "We have to start planning the nursery," He said, pressing a kiss to Mal's cheek and another to her belly as she moaned, not wanting to start another exhausting project.
The next chapter will be a new one!
