I stood under the shower, letting the hot water hit me. I knew I needed to
get out, because Rich would be home from work soon, and he would be
expecting supper. It was April now and I was 6 months along, you could
definitely tell. My stomach was quite round. When we would lay in bed at
night, Rich loved to rub my stomach and talk to the baby. I couldn't wait
for him to get home, because I had gone to the doctor earlier that morning
and found out the gender of the baby. I stepped out of the shower and
wrapped my housecoat around myself.
"Honey, I'm home!" Rich called that everyday when he got home from work.
I hurried down the stairs towards him and wrapped my arms around him.
"Well, I'm glad to see you too, Marti!" he said, laughing.
"No, guess what?" I asked him. He smiled at me.
"What?" he asked.
"I found out the gender of the baby at the doctor!" I told him.
"Oh my gosh! Well is it a boy or a girl?"
"It's a.." I decided to tease him a little bit by keeping him suspense. Rich grabbed my hand.
"TELL ME!!!" he yelled excitedly.
"Girl" I finished He grabbed me and started to dance me around the living room.
"A girl, a girl, a precious little baby girl!" he sang
"Wait, we still need to pick out a name!" I told him.
We had begun picking out names with this baby name book Ace had bought for us, but we hadn't found one we could both agree on. I grabbed the book off a shelf and we sat down to look it over. We looked and looked. Finally I found one I really liked. "There, that one. Rose." I said.
"Rose Chambers. I like that, it sounds nice. Rose it is!" Rich said.
"Now we need a middle name for her." I said.
"I have an idea. Rose start's with R like my name, so why don't we find a middle name that starts with M like your name?"
"Rich, that's a wonderful idea!!!" I exclaimed. He smiled and we got to work searching for a good M name.
"How about this one?" he said. "Melinda? Rose Melinda."
"Rose Melinda Chambers. I like that, it's really pretty." I told him.
Our baby had a name. Rose Melinda Chambers. We called all of our friends and family just to tell them we had (finally) settled on a name. Rose Melinda.
