Disclaimer: I do not own Legend of Dragoon.
Author's Note: Hi guys, it's me again! No, this isn't a sequel to my original fanfiction "Another Legend", I think it ended quite nicely. In any case, I thought of this concept long ago and decided, why not? It's winter break, and I might as post as many stories as I can before work starts in January (God willing.) Now, read!
"Another Legend: Side Stories"

Baby Names
She looked down at her stomach and smiled as the baby moved in her womb. It was almost time for the baby to be born and she had yet to come up with a name. They had just found out that is was going to be a baby girl. One of the women in the village said that if the baby felt like it was leaning toward your hip, then it was a boy, but if it didn't then it was a girl. She shook her head. Still she didn't really what the sex of the child was as long as it was healthy. Yes, that was what was important.
But still I don't have a name!
Shana and Dart divided the name task evenly. Dart would name the boys and Shana the girls. He had said that if the child was a boy, that they would name him 'Lavitz' after their dear friend. He had decided so quickly; Shana on the other hand was not so lucky.
The name 'Rose' began to float in her head. "Rose Feld" she whispered to herself. It didn't sound too bad, she thought. But it didn't really flow well. She looked down and touched her womb. "What do you think about that name?" The baby didn't move. "I didn't like it too much either." She wanted a name that had the people that were important to Dart. She knew Rose was important to her husband, and so was his father and mother. But how was she to incorporate all those names into the child? She couldn't honestly name their child Rose Zieg Claire Feld!
Rose Zieg Claire Feld? No! Absolutely not!
Rosa Zelaire Feld? No.
Relaire Zie Feld? No.
Roza Claire Feld? Hm…maybe. It had the 'Z' from Zieg…how about…
Riza Claire Feld? That sounded cute. It had the 'R' from Rose, the 'Z' from Zieg and the middle name belonged to Dart's mother.
"Riza…" she touched her stomach again. "How about that name? Riza Claire Feld?" The baby kicked.
I guess she likes it! Shana thought, smiling.
The name was fierce, but had a soft calming feeling to it, much like Dart. She closed her eyes imaging a little girl with large chestnut eyes and crazy dirty blond hair. A mini-Dart…almost. She giggled at the thought. Yes, that would be the child's name!
