So I was going to wait until Saturday to upload this, but meh. I just want to say their will be a naming contest! Rules will be at the bottom.
It had been one month since the discovery and Amy's morning sickness had only gotten worse. Too the point where Rory was holding her hair out of the toilet until it was nearly lunch. They rarely left the TARDIS because of this as well.
Rory had also been getting severely anxious and only left Amy's side if he knew she was with someone else. He really didn't want what happened to River to happen to this child.
It was one day as they were getting dressed that Amy asked, "So what are we going to name him or her?"
Rory paused. "I don't know, I really hadn't thought about it." Now that she had mentioned it, he didn't even know what gender he wanted.
"I already used Melody," Amy joked.
"Yah," Rory agreed, though he wished they actually called their daughter that.
"Do you have any ideas?" Amy asked.
Rory sat back and thought for a moment. "Well," he said, beginning to think out loud, "If it's a girl, Olivia, and a boy, Charlie."
Amy nodded. "How about we talk to River and the Doctor and see what they think."
"Do you not like those names?" Rory asked, mock offended.
Amy smiled at him, he really loved her smile.
They found the Doctor and River in the kitchen. They were drinking coffee and flirting like two office workers at the water cooler, they looked so happy together. Rory almost felt bad for butting into their conversation. He was thankful that Amy was there to do it for him.
"Hello you two," she said, entering the kitchen in front of Rory.
River looked slightly irritated at her flirting being interrupted, but responded with a: "Hello mother dearest, you're looking well today."
"Thank you River," Amy replied, "Rory and I were just discussing something."
For a split second, Rory thought he saw fear cross the Doctors face. Not scream in terror sort of fear, more like a sad fear. But just as it had come, it was gone.
"What were you discussing?" the Doctor asked.
"Baby names," Rory replied as he pulled out a chair at the table for Amy to sit down in.
"Bit early isn't it?" River asked.
"Amy's the one who brought it up," Rory said quickly, trying not to make himself look look stupid. Realizing his mistake, he shot an 'I'm sorry' look at Amy. Luckily she was already continuing.
"I just want to be absolutely sure of it when the time comes," Amy said defensively.
"We just wanted your opinions," Rory explained.
"Just shout out whatever you think would work," Amy added.
"Barbara," the Doctor said instantly, "Ian, Sarah Jane, Jack, Donna, Mickey, Rose..." He trailed off, an odd look of sad reminiscence in his eyes, though his usual grin was still spread across his face.
"What about you River?" Rory asked.
"Oh I don't know," River said with a shrug, "Willow, Eponine, Hamish, Zachary..." she trailed off as well. Though more with a look of confusion and deep thought.
"We could go for a seriously nerdy name," Rory joked, "Like when I was really into Lord of the Rings and thought my kids would be named Aragorn and Galadriel."
Amy shot him a look that screamed, 'if you ever suggest something like that again I'll skin you.' Rory acted mock offended again.
"Clara," the Doctor said, waking suddenly from his stupor.
"Oscar," River cried in response.
"Alright," Amy said, "Now that Rory and I have some names to think on, we'll go think on them."
She gave them a thumbs up and a tight smile. Rory knew what that face meant, and followed her to the nearest bathroom.
So for the naming contest, you get to vote on gender, first and middle name. They can be any name you want, they don't have to be from this Chapter or Doctor Who. Top five will be released in Chapter 7. Don't be afraid to comment and give constructive criticism (just keep it constructive).
