I am sooo sorry I haven't updated in forever. I have poor excuses though! 1) I was sort of busy as I've been out almost every weekend since my mom lost her job. 2) I'm lazy and 3) I'm a procastinator. To add onto those poor excuses, this chapter is lacking in length compared to the others. I shouldn't even be on my computer right now though, I'm supposed to be sick. I don't have school tomorrow though so it shouldn't matter.

I should mention that you shouldn't expect an update tomorrow on my day off of school or this weekend, just not to get your hopes up. I have plans. Tomorrow I get to do all of my make-up work from today and worry about the make-up work I'll be doing Thursday night after going home early from being sick! Yay, it's so wonderous! That was sarcasm. Saturday I'm going to audition for this modeling this; I'm thinking of this as my change of stardom. Sunday we have to go shopping as we normally would on Saturday.

Thanks to Anastasia Nicole for the idea! :D

Okay, go on read.


The rest of the day went by very uneventful, Lock nagged Shock for forgetting to take her prenatal vitamins ("How could you forget to take them?! Are you trying to harm the baby?"). Nighttime came and Shock found herself having quite a peaceful sleep without feeling nauseas at all; she was going to have a full night of sleep, until 3am…

"Shock?"

"Hm?"

"Shock?"

"What Lock?"

"Shock, wake up."

"I am up." Shock sat up to face him in the dark.

Lock reached over to the lamp on the bedside table and turned it on, then faced her, "I think we should pick a name for the baby."

"Lock, you woke me up for that? We have a whole thirty-one weeks or even more to go! I'm not even fat yet! I mean honestly, why now?"

"I just think we should be prepared." He crossed his arms against his chest stubbornly.

"Lock, I think I was going to have a full night's sleep and you woke me up for this?"

"I'm sorry that I want to pick a name for the baby before he or she arrives."

"Um, fine, so what do you have in mind?"

"Lock." Lock smiled at his own idea so proud of himself.

"No, we're not naming the baby after you."

"Why not?"

"One Lock is one too many."

"Uh…uh…uh!" He said in a girlish tone, "I'm offended.

"Good, maybe it will get through that thick skull of yours."

"Let's think of baby names now!"

"Alright, so what else did you have in mind?"

"I didn't have anything else in mind."

"You woke me up so you can try to persuade me to let us name the baby after you, great move, Lock." She laid back down and covered the covers over her head.

"Wait!" He threw the covers off of her, then threw them onto the floor so she couldn't try that stunt again.

"What the hell, Lock?"

"We didn't pick a baby name yet!"

"Really, can't this wait until later? I'm tired."

"I think this need to be done NOW!"

"Sure it does, now go pick up the blankets; I'm tired."

He just sat there stubbornly.

"Fine, I'll just sleep without them." So she laid down.

Lock watched her until she fell asleep which she almost immediately did.

"Shock?"

"Lock! Stop it already!"

He waited until she fell asleep again.

"Shock!" He whined.

"Lock, I'm going to fucking kill you if you don't stop, understand?"

"Can't we just pick out a baby name first, pwease?" He had a pouty lip upon his face like a small child would.

"I'll pick one out with you, as long as we don't name it after you and you don't suggest it at all."

A long moment of silence went by as Lock comprehended what Shock was compromising; he finally let out a groan of defeat, "Alright, alright, you win, Shock."

"Now, I'm sure your name wasn't the only other think you had in mind."

"Actually, no, it wasn't…" He sort of blushed.

She eyed him strangely, "What else did you have in mind then?"

"We could name it after you."

Her eyes widened in surprise, "You're kidding, right?

He cracked up laughing, "Yeah, I was. I fooled you didn't I?"

She didn't look amused, "What else did you have it mind?"

"I didn't have anything in mind except my name." He smiled sheepishly, just waiting to be hit.

"I'm going to sleep." She laid down and curled up into a ball, immediately falling asleep.

"But Shock!"

Her leg extended out and kicked him square in the crotch.
