Chapter Seven
"What names do you like?" I asked Gordo. It was the Sunday after my second ultrasound. I was happy because I hadn't thrown up since early (about three a.m.) Saturday morning. I had also found some of my old maternity clothes. I was wearing my favourite jeans and black T-shirt for when I was pregnant. I had written down all of our favourite names for boys and girls. I was planning on showing it to him and seeing what he thought of the names that I had written. I hoped that he liked them, because I often didn't really like his.
I yelled to Gordo, "Can you come to the living room? I have something that I want to show you. I have to know your opinion on it!" I made it sound urgent, because I knew that he would come right away.
"What is it honey?" he asked.
"This," I said. "They are lists of some of my favourite names. I wanted to know if you thought. That way we could use the ones that you like for the babies."
"Okay," he said. "Let me see that list."
Boys
Patrick--- Noble. Jason--- Healer. Daniel--- God is my judge. Wade--- From the river crossing. Jake--- Held by the heel. Michael--- Who is like God.
Girls
Jaden--- Jehovah has heard. Liliana--- Lily. Taylor--- Tailor. Rosemary--- Dew of the sea. Sarah--- Princess. Logan--- From the little hollow.
"What do you think?" I asked him. "You don't have to like them, I can't force you into liking the names just because they are my favourites, but what do you think? I know that you'll like some more that others but what ones do you like?" I knew I was rambling there so I finally shut up. I just had really wanted to know what he thought of the names.
Suddenly I thought of a better idea. "I'll say the names one by one and we'll say what we think about them okay?" He nodded so I said the first name. "Patrick."
"I like that one. We should keep it." Gordo said.
"That was my favourite for boys," I agreed. "So..." I took a look down at the list, "Jason?"
After five minutes we had gone through the boys names. We were trying to agree what four to keep. We were having a bit of a difficult time agreeing on the ones we should use. We had easily agreed to keep Patrick and Michael. Gordo and I agreed that we could call them Paddy and Mikey when they were little then switch to Pat and Mike when they got older.
"Gordo we have to keep Wade!" I said. "It's so cute!"
"Fine, we'll add Wade," Gordo said. "But I don't see why you don't want Jake or Daniel. After all, you're the one that wrote them!"
"I know, but they're so common. Don't you like Jason?" I was fighting for my favourite names.
"Yeah. I guess we could keep it." Gordo said.
"Thanks Gordo. Don't worry, we wouldn't need to use it unless I have four boys." I assured him. "Now, the girls names. Jaden?"
For the girls we had a easier time agreeing. He easily picked out Liliana, Sarah, Rosemary, and Taylor. He didn't like the other names as much. He said that you could easily mistake a kid with those names to be the opposite sex if you hadn't seen them.
"I know that you like Jaden and Logan, but they're more unisex names. I know Taylor is too but you're more likely to mistake a Jaden or a Logan for a boy than a Taylor." As soon as he said that the decision was easy to make.
"So Patrick, Jason, Wade, and Michael for boys and Liliana, Taylor, Rosemary, and Sarah for girls?" I asked.
"Yeah." Gordo agreed.
"Just think that in a few weeks we'll actually know what names we'll need... and we can start shopping!" I said excitedly.
He smiled and we stood up. He went to the basement and I went to our bedroom. I had to read a book for women who are expecting multiples.
I had just started reading when the phone rang. "Hello?" I said after I had picked it up.
"Hey Lizzie, it's me, Kate. I was wondering if you could come over to my house next Saturday, Miranda's coming over too. It'll be just so we can talk and catch up with what's going on in our lives. I haven't seen you for two months, Miranda too. So will you come?"
"Sure. And Kate?"
"Yeah Lizzie?"
"I'm pregnant. And I have some big news to tell you okay?"
"Okay. Come over around 10:30."
"Bye Kate."
"Bye Lizzie."
I hung up the phone and wondered how Kate would react. After all, when she'd last seen me I didn't look pregnant. Now I looked a few weeks ahead of where I was.
Oh well. She'd be surprised. And I'd have a girls' night with two of my best friends, just like old times. No kids, no husbands. I smiled.
And fell asleep.

A/N: I know it's not that good but please R&R anyway. It will get more exciting in a couple chapters. PLEASE give your opinion on the babies' sexes. I need them in about two chapters! Thank-you! ~*~ Lexi Lalime ~*~
