The Name Game
I was in the closet looking for clothes to wear, but none of my clothes fit anymore.
"Ugh…nothing fits anymore," I yelled with frustration.
"I think it's time for you to get maternity clothes," Angelus said.
"I don't want to get maternity clothes. It will make me feel fat," I said pouting.
"You are not fat. You are six months pregnant," Angelus pointed out.
I huffed, "I know."
"We can go shopping after the doctor's appointment," Angelus suggested.
I smiled at the idea of shopping, "Ok."
Angelus and I went to Dr. Young's office for an ultrasound. Dr. Young mentioned that we may be able to find out the sex of the baby which made us both excited.
As Dr. Young glided the ultrasound probe across my baby bump, she examined the screen.
"Can you figure the sex of the baby?" Angelus asked with hope.
"Yea, I know the sex of the baby," Dr. Young answered.
"Tell us," Angelus said impatiently.
Dr. Young smiled, "You are having a boy."
I looked over at Angelus to see his reaction to the news. Angelus looked as if he had conquered the world.
"We are having a boy," Angelus said with enthusiasm.
After we got home from shopping, I took a seat on the sofa. Angelus went into his office and returned to the family room with a book in his hand. He sat down beside me and propped my legs on his.
"What is that?" I asked pointing at the book.
"It's a book full of baby names," Angelus answered opening the book. "We need to pick a name for our son."
"First of all, we need to figure out if we are going which last name we are going to give the baby," I reminded him. "Summers or Connor? You technically do not exist."
"Actually, I do. I had my lawyer do paperwork a few years ago," Angelus informed me.
"Ok, the baby's last name will be Connor," I replied.
Angelus started listed off names that I hated. When we could not settle on a name, I became frustrated.
"This is so frustrating. We are never going to agree on a name. Give me that book," I said grabbing the book out of his hand.
I flipped through the pages of the book and saw a name that I loved.
"What do you think about the name, Aidan?" I wondered.
"I like it," Angelus responded.
I sighed in relief, "Then, it's settled we are going to name the baby, Aidan."
"We still have to pick a middle name," Angelus pointed out.
"Oh my god! This is going to take forever," I said with frustration.
While I was at school, I stopped by the library to talk to Giles.
"Hello Buffy," Giles greeted me.
"Hi Giles," I replied happily.
"You seem cheerful," Giles observed.
"I am cheerful. I just found out that I am having a baby boy," I informed Giles.
Giles smiled, "Congratulations. Have you and Angelus picked a name yet?"
"We are going to name the baby, Aidan," I answered.
"That is good name," Giles responded.
"Did you manage to find out the information that I needed?" I wondered.
Giles nodded, "Yes, I did. It is located in a tomb, but it should not be too difficult to get."
"Thanks," I said appreciatively. "I need to get it before Angelus wakes up."
"Good luck. Be careful," Giles called out as I walked out of the library.
By the time that I managed to get the item, it was dark outside and I knew Angelus would be worried.
When I walked in the door, Angelus breathed a sigh of relief.
"Where have you been?" Angelus questioned with concern. "I have called your cell phone like ten times."
"Babe, I'm fine. I just had to do something," I answered.
"What was it?" Angelus wondered.
"I had to get something for you," I replied.
"What did you get me?" Angelus asked with curiosity.
I pulled the item out of my pocket and handed it to him, "This."
Angelus took the item and examined it, "This is the Gem of Amoura. Vampires have been looking for this ring for centuries. How did you get it?"
"Giles helped me find it. It was located in a tomb right here in Sunnydale. You wanted to walk in the sun, so I decided to find this ring for you," I explained.
Angelus slipped the ring on his finger and said, "Thank you."
I smiled at his reaction, "You're welcome."
When I returned home from school, I was surprised to see that Angelus was awake because I did not expect his sleeping schedule to change so quickly. Plus, he was wearing a gray tank top with blue jeans covered in blue paint which made him look rugged and handsome.
"What are you doing awake and why are you covered in blue paint?" I asked checking him out.
"I have a ring that allows me to walk around in the sunlight, so I want to keep the same schedule as you. Also, I just finished painting the nursery," Angelus answered.
I suddenly started to feel as if my hormones were going crazy and wetness began to pool between legs. Angelus must have smelled my arousal because a smirk appeared on his face.
"You look hot," I complimented walking over to him.
Angelus continued to smirk, "Really?"
"I want you now," I said jumping in his arms and pulling his lips to mine.
Angelus chuckled and deepened the kiss.
A/N: What do you think of the name that they picked for the baby? I know that it is common name now, but back in the 1990s, it was not. Plus, I have always liked the name.
