The baby had been in the hospital for two weeks. He was improving but slowly. He still didn't have a name. Cody was in Jacksonville on business. Cameron was at the hospital. The only time she went back to the hotel was to sleep, that was only because she promised Cody she would. She was reading the baby a story when her cell phone started to ring.
"Hello?" She said.
"Hi babe." Cody said.
"Hi."
"How's my little guy today?"
"He's doing good."
"Good." "How about you?" "Have you been sleeping enough?"
"Yes."
"Promise?"
"I promise."
"Good." "I don't want two people I love in the hospital."
"I won't end up in the hospital."
"Any change on the baby's prognosis?"
"No he still has to stay here for the next three or four months."
"At least he's getting better."
"Yeah."
"I miss you guys."
"We miss you." "You know, eventually we have to name him." "We can't call him the baby forever."
"I know." "I have to go but I love you both."
"We love you too." "See you tomorrow."
"I can't wait."
"Us either." "Bye."
"Bye."
They hung up.
Cameron looked over at the baby.
"That was daddy." She said. He's coming to see us tomorrow." "Now, where was mommy in the story?"
The next day Cody came into the room holding a stuffed bear.
"Hi." He said.
"Hi." Cameron said. They kissed.
"There's my little guy." Cody said going over to incubator. The baby looked at him. "I bought you a present little guy." "What do you think?" "Do you like him?"
"Cody I want to name the baby after you."
"Cody Jr.?"
"Yeah."
"Alright."
