Chapter 6

The Giving of Names

With Gil's small hand in mine, I begin to head toward Brooklyn, which I know where it is now.and who cares if that's only because David wrote the instructions on a piece of paper for me.his handwriting is so neat, unlike mine.but oh well..

Gil pointed a couple of feet away from us, "Look! Its Spot and.. and.a goil!"

I couldn't but laugh as I saw Spot with one arm around Chip and the other playing with his key, he really didn't look dangerous, but then again, he was a Conlon.

"Hey Spot, hey Chip, how are you?" I asked walking up to them.

Gil grinned, "Hi Spot."

"Hey Mari," They both said as Chip turned to look at Gil.

"And who is this?" She asked playing with a lock of Gil's dirty blond hair.

Spot released Chip and picked up Gil, "This is my baby brother, Gilly."

"Ain't he just the cutest thing, How old is he, two?"

Gil turned to look at her with his big puppy dog eyes, "Ise five!"

"I am," I mumbled, luckily no one heard me.

"Well," Spot said again looking at Gil, "I think you need a new name, and Mari too. If you are going to live wit us in Brooklyn wit Newsies, ya may as well have a name like one."

I tried to keep my mother shut over the horrible grammar that would make our mother break down and cry.she was an English teacher after all, as Gil grinned at Spot and then at me.

"I guess that makes sense. So, what do you have in mind?" I smiled, (insert word here), anything will be better than Marilyn, right.

"Well, Gilly can be shrimp, because look at him..he's so short." Spot began.

I shook my head, "He's taller than you were by a good couple of centimeters. So, what if you were to take away the S-H-R?" If there was one thing that I learned from living with Oliver, it was that men, or at least Conlon men, liked have things their own way, and I wasn't about to get him mad at me, again, yet.

"Why don't ya jist say da name? I ain't da Mouth for goodness sake!" Spot glared at me.

Okay, not to self, it wasn't a good idea to use on Spot.must remember that one. "Well, what I meant was Imp, because he can sure be a troublemaker at times."

"Imp, I like it, whar do you think, Gilly, Chip?" Gilly nodded, he would probably do anything that Spot told him to.and Chip just smiled at Spot and than at Gil. "So, now to find you a name, hm.what was our cat's name? You know the one we had at the same time as Sp-"

"No! I am not going to be named after a cat, or a dog." I almost yelled, I could deal with him being called Spot, but not me, remember when I said that anything was better than Marilyn, I was wrong, Fluffy was much worse.

"Okay, Okay, then wat would ya like to have as yer name?" Spot asked.

Whoa, back up for a minute, did my brother just ask my opinion? "I don't know." Hey, what did you expect me to say? I have never even thought about this before.

"D'ja go to school?" Spot asked.

I tried to smile, "I was going to Nursing School before I left, but I wasn't very far. I had a few y-"

"So, you were going ta be a nurse?" Chip asked, "If ya did, wouldn't people call ua Doc?"

I shook me head, "No, I was going to be called a nur-"

"Wait!" Spot turned to look at Chip, "What was dat last woid ya said?"

"Um..Doc."

"Dat's it! Yer new name is Doc. I'm glad I thought of it." Spot grinned. "Com' on Imp, Doc, Chip, it's time ta go home, ta good ol' Brooklyn."

Sorry that that was short, but at least it was a chapter right. Please review..but first Shout outs!!

Sapphy- Thank you so much for the review! I love readin' yours, there the coolest!

alleluia- Hey! I'm glad that you like it! Davey is an awesome character, sorry that I made him seem weak, it's just the fact that he didn't look that good at fighting in the movie against the Delancys and it's partly the character's point of view, because she was raised with violence.but I won't get into that right now.

Kora- I know how you feel with the whole evil review button not working.but I am so happy that you reviewed it anyway! And that's for telling me that it was realistic.it means a lot to me.but that is mostly because I'm doing research on the social aspect of this time frame.I want to major in history after all. Hopefully the review button works this time (hint hint)
