Chapter 25

After their shower, Danny made breakfast, well brunch was more of the right word if you looked at the time. Danny had made eggs with bacon and toasts and Lindsay was enjoying every bit of it.

"So, you wanna take a look at my list, now?" Lindsay asked after Danny had finished doing the dishes. She was grinning widely and was quite excited about deciding on a name.

"Alright, Montana, let's have a look at that list," Danny answered as excited as her. "So, what do you have on that list of yours?"

He stared at it for a few moments, going over all the names she had scribbled down on the piece of paper. He soon had a look of amusement in his eyes and he was smirking.

"You know pretty much all you have on here are Italian?" Lindsay blushed slightly.

"Yeah, I had noticed," she said. "I want her to have an Italian name."

"Really? Why?" he wondered out loud still smirking.

"Because, I like it. You don't like any of those names, do you?" she sat down on the couch crossing her arms on her 7 month bump.

"That's not what I said, I was just curious." He sat down next to her, smiling at her. "What don't you tell me why you chose these in particular?" he suggested her. She took the paper from him.

"Okay, my three favorites are Clara, Anna and Laura."

"There's a lot of "A"'s in there," he joked but stifled a laugh as soon as he saw Lindsay's glare. "And why these?"

"Well, Clara means famous or brilliant. And let's face it, our baby girl's gonna be brilliant." He smirked at her words but was definitely not gonna argue against her.

"Anna's cute I think. Easy to spell, cannot make mistakes about it. And Laura's pretty too. Did you know it meant laurel plant? And in classical times, a crown was made from the leaves of the bay laurel for heroes or victors as a symbol of honor and victory. It screams awesome person, don't you think?" Lindsay was beaming at explaining why she chose those particular names and was waiting for Danny's reaction.

"You have obviously given this a lot of thought. They're really nice names but what else do you have on there, Montana?"

"Alright, I've got Claudia."

"No."

"Lydia?"

"Nope, that's not it."

"Agatha?"

"That screams little old lady."

"Danny!! You know, you propose names. Here is the book, make a list."

"Alright, Adalynn? That's kinda cute don't you think?" he had just opened the book randomly and took the first name he read. The truth was he liked one of the names Lindsay had suggested but he liked to get a rise out of her.

"You're not even trying. I don't want a fancy complicated name and I want it to end with an 'A'." he was infuriating sometimes and she was about to choke him if he didn't start to take their discussion seriously.

"Okay, Montana, I'll tell you the name I like but first you gotta tell me why you want that 'A' so much", he offered grinning. He could see Lindsay was debating in her head whether or not to tell him.

"Fine, but you swear you won't laugh or so much as the hint of that grin on your face or you're sleeping on the couch until she's born!" Danny's face immediately straightened and he took her threat very seriously. There was no way he was spending two months sleeping on a couch.

"I swear, Montana." He promised her.

"I want an Italian name because it's a part of who you are and the 'A' are because…." She mumbled the last bit, making it impossible for anyone to understand her.

"I'm sorry but you're gonna have to repeat that sweetheart because I didn't get one thing." He was really having fun watching her trying to confess to something she was clearly embarrassed about.

"The 'A' reminds me of when you call me Montana," she finally admitted under her breath.

Of all the things he was expecting her to say, that wasn't one of them. He knew that she loved it when he called her Montana because it was something just between them, but he had never imagined that nickname he had made up just to tease her would turn out to be so meaningful.

"Aww, Montana." He wanted to do nothing more than teasing her about it, but he couldn't bring himself to. He found her reason unbelievably adorable.

"It's your turn, now Cowboy." He smiled at her and proceeded to tell her which name he thought was their little girl. And as he told her, he saw her face lighting up. She was happy with his choice and was so excited.

Danny bent down to her stomach and starting talking.

"So, baby girl, what do think of your name? Do you like it?" he whispered to the bump harboring his daughter. Lindsay smiled at his sweetness and her smile turned into a grin when she felt her daughter kicking in response.

"I think she's pretty happy with our choice, judging from what's happening in there," she said gesturing to her stomach. Danny ran his hand up and down her belly. "So are we gonna stay on the couch all afternoon or you want to do something?"

"I'll do whatever you wanna do, Montana. But how 'bout a walk in central park if you're up for it."

"Sure, a walk sounds nice, especially if you promise to carry me if I get too tired," Lindsay laughed when she saw the look on his face. He was strong but she was 7 months pregnant and it wasn't so much the weight that could prevent him from carrying her it was the huge stomach that made it more difficult. "I was just kidding, Dan."

He kissed her on the cheek before getting off the couch and helping her to stand up. They got ready to an afternoon out. The sun was out and it was a perfect day for a stroll in central Park.
