A/N: So this is just a filler chapter pretty much. I know that the last one was a filler chapter but this one is even more so. I hope you like this one! I'm pretty sure I told you this was not going to be posted for a while but I couldn't wait any longer... And I somehow doubt that you don't mind the fast updates, right? I thought so.
DISCLAIMER: I own nothing. I don't own Flashpoint, CTV, ION, Barbie and Ken, Baby Ruths, or any of these names
SPOILER: None.
WARNING: This chapter contains fluff (lots of fluff), baby names and joking around.
Enjoy!
The past few months had passed so quickly and he couldn't help but think that the next few would be even quicker. They didn't have much planned yet. They didn't have a name for the baby or a date for the wedding or anything.
The sun was setting later and later as summer approached. It was late May now and Jules was around four and a half months pregnant.
"Sam," she said one day while they were out for lunch. They were at a small restaurant right near the station where they had to be in an hour or so for work.
"What?" he asked, taking another bite of the burger he had ordered.
"What are we going to name the baby?" she asked. "I'm about halfway now and we haven't even talked about names."
"We don't even know if it's a boy or a girl," Sam shrugged. "We've got time."
"Sam," Jules said warningly. "I'm serious. What are we going to name the baby?"
"What do you want to name the baby?" he asked.
"I've got a few ideas," she said. "But I want you to help pick too! I mean, he or she is half yours."
"Well," Sam started. "If the baby is a girl, maybe Emma?"
"Emma's nice," Jules said. "But my sister-in-law is named Emma, well, one of them. What about Victoria?"
"No," Sam shook his head immediately.
"What's wrong with Victoria?" Jules asked. "I like it!"
"It's just that I have an ex-girlfriend who was named - "
"Alright, Victoria is out then," Jules agreed, not needing to hear the rest of his sentence.
"Ruth?" Sam asked. "My mom's middle name is Ruth."
"Ruth? For a baby? You're joking, right?" Jules laughed. "I understand why it was popular when our parents were born but you don't name a baby Ruth these days."
"Why not?" an oblivious Sam asked.
"Really?" Jules was still laughing. "Baby Ruth? You know, the candy bar?"
It hit Sam and he started laughing as well, saying, "Alright, so Ruth is out."
"Jenna?" Jules suggested and Sam shook his head, saying he liked it but didn't want to name their baby that."
"Rose?" he suggested. "Ashley? Jennifer? Amy?"
"Not bad," Jules said. "I have to admit, you're not bad at this. If I didn't know better, I'd say you thought about it already."
"Well," Sam shrugged. "I may have thought about it a bit..."
"A bit? So, you didn't look in the baby name book and see all the names that I highlighted?" Jules giggled and when Sam looked ashamed, she added, "I don't care."
"Good," Sam said. "So what else do you like for a girl?"
"Melissa, Jamie, Annabel and Rachel," Jules answered. "What do you think of those?"
"I like," he smiled. "Well, I don't think we'll have any trouble choosing a name. Can we go to the station now?"
"Sam!" Jules shook her head. "We still have forty minutes until we have to be there and it is right around the corner. We still need to talk about boy names."
Sam agreed with a sigh and said, "We are not naming him after your father, sorry."
"You're kidding! I would never name my child after my father! I would never give a kid the name Willie. I still don't understand what was going through my grandparent's heads when they chose that name!"
"It's not like they even named him William, they named him Willie," laughed Sam along with Jules.
"So, Willie is out, obviously," Jules said. "We could name him William?"
"Nah, he might shorten it to be like his grandpa," Sam shook his head. "Henry?"
"Too common," Jules scrunched up her nose. "Noah?"
"I like Noah," Sam agreed. "What about Andrew?"
"Not bad, but not my favourite," Jules said. "Umm, maybe Ken?"
"As in Ken and Barbie?" Sam said. "I don't think so."
"Okay, okay, what about Caleb?" she suggested. "Or Tyler?"
"I like those too," he nodded. "How about Anthony?"
"God, this is hard," groaned Jules. "Anthony was a subject once..."
"Jules, if you say no to a name because it was the name of a subject, we'll never get anywhere," Sam reasoned. "This wouldn't be a problem if we weren't SRU."
"Well, I'm hardly SRU these days," whined Jules. "I'm stuck on desk duty and you get to go and risk your life. I can't even be there to make sure you're okay!"
"Jules, I'm fine," Sam said. "Come on, remember, names?"
"Right," she said and then laughed. "And to think, you weren't even into the whole baby names thing at first. Now you're reminding me about it."
"Well, you were right," Sam said. "It's important. We need names for a girl and names for a boy and then we need middle names and we have to figure out which names go with which name and we have to make sure they all sound alright with the name Braddock and..."
"Sam? Shut up?" she laughed. "I know."
She leaned across the table to kiss her fiancé and then checked her watch. It was almost time for their shift so she stood up and left the money on the table.
"Gotta go," she told him. "You coming?"
"Where else am I going to go?" Sam asked as he got up to join her.
A/N: I hope you liked it! Please leave a review with what you think they should name the baby! I have names picked out already but I want to know your thoughts! And let me know what you thought of the chapter!
Also, check out the poll on my page! Do you want me to write a Spike-centric fic? I have some ideas but I won't write it if nobody will read it. If you think you'd like to read it, let me know and I'll write it! It would include the usual SRU stuff, friendship stuff and a bit of romance stuff. Sam and Jules would be a couple but the story would not focus on them. So, vote 'yes' if you want the story and 'no' if you don't!
