Number 5 Finally Has a Name
"Nicky I found it, I found it." Jackie told him excitedly the second he walked in the door after work.
"Found what?" He asked.
"The baby's name. It's cute with a southern flare, it's uncommon, and it sounds good with Archer and Stokes. It's perfect if you like it, do you like it?" She asked without taking a breath.
"What is it?" He asked with a laugh.
"What?"
"What's the name? You got so excited you forgot to tell me the actual name." He told her with a smile.
"Oh sorry, I am excited. The name is Sloan." She said, watching for his reaction.
He thought for a second before he broke out into a smile.
"I like it." He declared, much to Jackie's relief.
"Yeah?" She asked.
"Yeah, Sloan Archer Stokes. It has a nice ring to it."
"Oh, I'm so glad you like it, and I'm even more glad we have finally decided on something, it was driving me absolutely crazy."
"You are absolutely crazy." Nick quipped.
She playfully stuck her tongue out at him.
"Let's go tell the kids, maybe then Johnna won't call the baby Houston and Houston won't have to get mad at her any more." Jackie told him.
"Ok let's go." Nick told her.
They went over to where the kids were sitting on the floor playing with their toys, except for Karlie who was taking a nap.
"Guys, your new baby brother's name is going to be Sloan."
"Baby?" Johnna asked.
"Yeah the baby's name will be Sloan."
"No baby Houden?" She asked.
"No Donna." Houston yelled at her.
"Nope, his name is going to be Sloan." Jackie told her as she tried not to laugh.
"Jasmine what do you think of your baby brother's name?" Jackie asked.
"Me like Houden." Jasmine said.
"You like Houston too? We can't have two Houston's." Jackie told her.
"Can you guys say baby Sloan?" Nick asked them.
"Baby sone." Houston repeated.
"Yep that's right buddy, baby Sloan." Jackie told him.
"Now Jazz and Johnna you say it." Nick told the girls.
"Baby Sone." Both girls repeated.
"Good job." Nick said.
Jasmine walked over to Jackie and lifted up her shirt "Baby Sone." She said as she pointed at Jackie's tummy.
"That's right Jazz." Jackie said with a smile.
"Hungry." Jasmine told Jackie, as if to say now that we have that settled let's move on to more important issues.
Jackie chuckled.
"What would you like to eat." She asked her.
"Hot dog."
"Alright, we have some hot dogs, I'll make us lunch." Jackie said as she looked at Nick with a smile.
The kids went out to the kitchen and Nick and Jackie followed them.
"That went well." Nick said to Jackie with a smile.
"Yes, I am glad that we've finally decided on something and that the kids seem to like it. I just wish I was closer to my due date." Jackie responded.
"Time will fly by." Nick told her.
"You're probably right, it always does." She said with a smile.
Jackie made the hot dogs and since it was so nice outside they decided to eat them on the patio.
Jackie just sat back and enjoyed her lunch and spending time with her family.
She felt like a huge weight had been lifted off of her shoulders now that the baby finally had a name.
The End!
