Two weeks after discovering she was expecting their first child, Blossom lay awake in bed, feeling a little sick to her stomach, but she hadn't experienced morning sickness very often, other than when she discovered she was carrying. She was the only one home, because she'd sent her husband out for onions and beef jerky a half hour before. A sudden thought occurred to her and she slowly sat up on the bed before she lightly placed her left hand on her flat stomach.
She hoped that their first child would be a boy, but she'd keep her suspicion a secret from her husband until an ultrasound would reveal the gender of their child. Just then, she heard the front door being slammed shut, followed by Brick's voice calling out her name and that he'd gotten the onions and beef jerky that she'd requested, so she left the bedroom in order to join him.
She found him in the kitchen and grabbed the bag of beef jerky out of his grasp before she swiftly kissed him and turned away in order to head towards the fridge to grab an onion, but his arms around her slim waist kept her from reaching the fridge.
"Let me go, honey. I want an onion," she said firmly.
"Oh no. I'm not getting an onion flavored kiss from you, honey. Kiss me first and then you can get your onion."
She obliged her husband by giving him a lingering kiss before pulling away and she headed to the fridge to retrieve her onion. Brick visibly winced at seeing his wife take a huge bite out of the onion after she'd removed the skin and washed it off. Seeing her husband's reaction, Blossom glanced down at the onion she still had in one hand and noticed it had a huge chunk missing.
"You just took a bite out of a raw onion, honey. I thought you'd cook it first before you ate it."
She simply shrugged.
"I didn't feel like cooking it," she replied.
She turned away from her husband and started to head towards their bedroom, but his hand on her arm made her pause and glance back at him.
"What now, honey?" she asked.
"I know we have nine months to decide on a baby name, but I have a couple names already in mind."
Blossom lifted an eyebrow.
"I'm only two weeks pregnant and you've already got names in mind for the baby?"
He nodded.
"Ok. So, what are they?"
"Brianna if the baby's a girl and Brice if it's a boy."
"I like the name Brianna. But why did you chose the name Brice? It's really close to your own name."
Brick shrugged.
"I guess I just like the name Brice," he admitted.
"Fair enough."
