The next morning arrived way too early. Gillian stretched and smiled as she realized that it was morning. She got out of bed and took her shower quickly. She hurried downstairs to make breakfast. However, she was surprised to find that Emily was already downstairs waiting for her with breakfast already waiting. She smiled and said, "I could get used to this."

Emily smiled, "Well, I had to eat and I figured that you needed to eat. For the baby and all."

Gillian smiled, "Thanks Emily. I appreciate it."

Emily smiled sheepishly, "You're welcome."

"What are you going to do today?"

Emily bit her bottom lip, "Well, I was wanting to go shopping, but..."

"What?"

"Well, I need a ride to the mall."

"Well, it just so happens that I'm needing to go to the mall too. Wanna catch a ride with me?"

Emily smiled, "Sure. I want to get something for the baby, but I don't know if it's a boy or a girl, so I'm going to get something that either one would like."

Gillian smiled, "Want me to tell you a secret?"

Emily smiled, "Sure."

"I know what I'm having."

"You do?!! And you didn't tell us?!!"

Gillian laughed, "I just found out last night. I called your dad and told him first."

Emily was bouncing out of her chair. She finally whispered, "Is it a boy or a girl?!!"

Gillian smiled, "A girl!"

"A girl!! Really? I'm going to have a little sister!! You're serious? You wouldn't trick me would you?!!"

"No, I wouldn't trick you. I'm serious. You're dad and I have something we want to tell you."

"What?!!"

"I can't tell you, but it has to do with the baby's name. Your dad wants to be here when we tell you!"

"Ugh!! You're killing me here!!"

Gillian laughed and whispered, "Well, it's only about ten more hours. You'll live until then."

Emily laughed, "I doubt it, but I'll try!"

Gillian laughed and they both grabbed their purses and drove to the mall. They had a great time. Gillian felt a bit guilty, but knew that Emily needed this to help bring her out of the depression that she'd sunk into. They arrived home just before Cal and Gillian smiled and said, "How about we order pizza?"

Emily nodded, "Pizza sounds great!"

Gillian picked up the phone to call it in. The pizza arrived just as Cal walked in the front door.

He smiled, "Looks like gourmet food to me!"

Gillian smiled when he came over and gave her a kiss. She felt it all the way down to her toes. Emily smiled at the adults behavior, "You two need to get a room!! I hope you don't behave this way in front of my sister."

Cal looked at Gillian and asked, "You told her? I thought we were going to wait."

Gillian laughed, "I just told her that the baby's a girl. I didn't tell her the other part."

"She didn't and I've been dying to know what it is all day long!!"

Cal laughed softly, "Maybe we should make her wait until she's born."

"Dad!! You wouldn't?"

"Wouldn't I luv?"

"Okay, you would, but come on!!"

Gillian laughed as she watched the interaction between the two of them. It was then that the baby decided to give a big push. She smiled as she took Emily's hand and held it to her stomach. Emily's eyes grew wide and she asked, "Does it hurt?"

Gillian shook her head and smiled, "Most of the time it feels like butterflies in my stomach. Sometimes, it's a bit uncomfortable when she's sitting on my bladder. Then I feel like I have to go to the bathroom all the time."

Emily laughed, "That's incredible."

Cal looked at the exchange between his wife and daughter and couldn't help but get choked up by it. A lump formed in his throat and he found himself unable to talk. The sight was something to see. The two of them looked absolutely beautiful sitting there together.

Finally, he heard Gillian say, "We have something that we want to ask you." Cal could only nod and Gillian looked at him funny and continued, "Well, we were thinking and we wanted to know if you'd mind if we named her after your mom?"

Emily whispered, "You want to name her Zoe?"

Gillian laughed and nodded, "Well, we want it to be her middle name. Her first name would be Arianna."

Emily was speechless. She never thought that they would want any part of her mom's name for their daughter. She finally whispered, "I think that's great. Thanks dad."

Cal looked at Emily, "Thank Gillian. It was all her idea."

Emily looked at Gillian and threw herself at her. She dissolved into tears. She didn't stop crying until she heard Cal say, "I didn't think she'd cry because of it. Maybe it wasn't a good idea."

Gillian laughed, "She's crying because she's happy."

Cal looked at her sideways, "If she's bloody happy, I'd hate to see what happens when she's sad!"

Emily laughed, "I'm still here and I can hear you!"

Cal laughed, "So you can luv. What do you think about that idea Em?"

She looked at Cal and then at Gillian. Then she whispered, "I think that's the perfect name for my little sister."

She rushed forward and hugged them tightly.
