Stallison drabble prompt from Tumblr, I also have a new Marrish chapter coming in VERY soon, for the lovely samcheese1 who prompted me on here.

"How about Henry and Brenda?" Allison asked, finally poking her head from behind the baby book after a good hour of browsing. She'd been doing that all day and each time Stiles wrinkled his nose up at her, shaking his head vigorously.

"No way! God you have awful taste, Ally." He put down the report he was going over for the station and laughed at her irate expression. "Don't give me that look, we're having twins, not old people."

"Those happen to be respectable names!" She huffed.

"Respectable in when? 1700's?" He sniffed and held his hand out, "gimmie the book I'll find something better."

"Ugh, fine." She handed it over and reclined in her seat, watching his eyes scan the pages and scrunch up in that adorable way he had. "Jack."

"Too simple." She said, smiling cheekily, enjoying her revenge at being on the other side.

"Fine. Tomas and uuuh…Suzie?"

"What? No!"

They continued back and forth for a while trying to find good names and it got to the point where Stiles was tired of it, so they put the naming on hold. Over the next few months they would have a new game, try and find something else to name their children, and as Allison swelled, so did Stiles' entire lack of patients. Soon he was coming out with names like "Ford" and "Umar", he even threw in his geek card and said the girl should be called "Ygritt" or "Starfire." That earned him a few slaps and much glaring, especially when he started talking to little "Umar and Starfire" to her belly at night.

By her 8th month pregnant they began to think more seriously once more about the names and even asked other people for their input, and boy did they wish they hadn't.

"You should call the girl Daina." Lydia said, "It's got a great distinctive sound. Children respond to their names depending on the sound it gives off, so you should give her one that has a strong ascent to it."

"Uh, sure Lyds thanks for the idea…" Trust her best friend to become all smart about the process. "I think we're just gonna pick one we actually like, if you don't mind."

Lydia shrugged. "Fine, don't say I didn't warn you."

Scott on the other hand was more concerned with a different kind of name process, "why don't you just name the boy Scott, after your best friend?" He grinned and wiggled his eyebrows at Stiles, "Good name too, I can attest to that."

"Yeah sure, I'll get right on that. Who doesn't want to yell their best friend's name or be reminded of him when you're telling your child not to spread poo on the walls." He responded dryly, giving Scott a look that clearly said 'you're an idiot man'.

"Oh yeah, good point." He scratched his chin and gave it some more thought. "Well you should just choose the names that matter to you most, I mean… maybe pick someone who's not around anymore? That way it won't be as bad when you use their name."

"Hmmm." Stiles considered this for a second, "that's not a bad idea."

That night as they were lying in bed Stiles ran his hand over her round belly and said quietly "Scott got me thinking today…"

"Uh oh." Allison joked, "Should I be worried?"

"Noo haha, not really. I was just talking to him about names, and he said something about, you know…naming our kids after someone who may have died." He kept silent for a moment and watched her eyes as they came to understand his meaning. "I'm not saying its something we have to do but, I am saying… maybe it is something I'd like to do. If you were okay with that?"

"Stiles… are you saying you'd like to name our daughter after your mother?" She asked.

"Oh well… actually I was thinking of yours." He honestly had wanted to give Allison the best option.

She smiled and chuckled, leaning in to kiss him slowly. "You're amazing. Why don't we use both?" She asked.

"Okay, which way around?"

"Hmmm… you decide." She rubbed her hand over his, still placed lightly over her belly, and could practically hear his brain ticking.

"How about Vicky Claudia, I like that… it sounds nice." For the first time he actually felt like the babies were becoming real, as though they were taking shape before his eyes.

"And the boy?" She asked, raising her eyebrows.

"You pick that one, go on." He winked and kissed her temple, waiting as she mulled the decision over in her head.

"I want to continue the parent idea… its… its been a while since I lost my father." She glanced up at Stiles with fresh new tears, but he was there and she felt safe and loved. "I want to name him Chris. Christopher Vincent."

"I love you, Allison." Stiles said, kissing her lips and sighing against them, holding her.

"I love you, Stilinski, you dork." She snuggled up against him, head tucked under his chin and listening to his heart as they fell asleep.
