Another short but sweet chapter PS, thank you for all of your lovely reviews

Chapter 4
The Name game

She sat on her couch, in her pajamas, watching commercials, eating rocky road ice cream. It was about 3pm, all the good talk shows were coming on. She liked watching them because they made her life seem so much better. She put the finished ice cream container down on the table and licked the remaining chocolate off of the spoon.

She was now six months into the pregnancy. She hadn't grown much, but her wings had. When Thanagarians were pregnant, there wings grow to accommodate the extra weight caused by the baby. They would return to the normal size, as would her stomach after her baby was born.

She could only get checked up by J'onn every two months, since it was very seldom that J'onn left the tower by himself. But she still had Wally, and it he didn't get to her house soon with strawberry milkshake and dill pickle chips, she was going to ring his neck! He was after all the world's fastest man. Why was he being so slow now?

Suddenly she heard keys jingling in the door; she shot up of the couch and yelled, "Its open!"

Wally walked in with a bag of groceries, which was instantly snatched out of his hands by Shay who returned to the couch with them.

"Nice to see you to," he said hanging his coat up in the closet.

"Sorry but Jerry Springer just started," she said sipping on her extra large strawberry milkshake.

"Damn, did I miss anything?" he asked as he zipped next to her on the couch and began eating the chips.

"Nope but today's topic is 'Hillbilly Love'," she chuckled as she grabbed another bag of chips and started to demolish them.

Wally laughed, "So you know it's gotta be good."

The commercial break started, "Hey, thanks for picking up the snacks by the way," she said gratefully.

"Oh no problem, the funny thing was Harvey's was all out of strawberry milkshakes, So I had to go to McDonalds," he said eating a Twinkie.

"Oh you didn't have to do that for me," she said apologetically.

"Yeah I did or you would've strangled me."

"True," she smiled. She was almost done her bag of chips and had her eyes on a second.

"Oh," Wally remembered, "I also went on a convenience store shopping spree, so we have basically every single kind of candy ever invented. And before you apologize and say 'I don't have to do it for you', don't I eat like this anyway." He replied with horse shoe eyes.

"Lucky you, you never even gain a pound," Shayera stated as she looked at her growing stomach.

"Yeah, but you have a reason for gaining weight," he said grinning, then he looked serious for a moment, "What are you going to name him?"

She laughed, "Him? What makes you think it's going to be a boy?"

"I just have a second nature about these things. So what are you going to name him?"

"Haven't thought about that yet," she said sipping hard on her straw.

"Well you're not going to name him after John right?" A hard glare at him answered that question, "Okay, then how about your dad?"

"My dad was a horrible man," she stated bluntly.

"Really?" Flash looked surprised, "How so?"

"Well he slept with my mother when she was thirteen; he was forty four I think. He had a high rank in the police force or something like that. My mother was from a very rich and popular family, so having me would cause uproar, so she abandoned me at the dump. She died in a terrorist bombing later when I was ten or so." She explained shamefully.

Wally looked at her with wide eyes, she had never told anyone about her past and now he knew why. How could anyone abandon a baby in a dump for their rank in society?

"Shay, I'm sorry," was all he could say

"Ha, don't be, I wouldn't be as strong as I am today if that hadn't happened," she admitted, "but you can see why my fathers name is out."

"Yeah, well how about Bob?"

"Bob?" she asked surprised.

"Yeah, Bob it's a normal name."

"Where in the world did you think of Bob?"

"Well, that hillbilly's name was Bob Bubba Ray Stanton, but everyone just calls him Scooter, so I figured just Bob," he said while eating chips.

She shook her head while rolling her eyes, "Bob's such a normal name, I want baby to have an exotic name."

"Oh good because I figured this would happen so," he paused reaching in the grocery bag and pulled out a book, "Ta dah! The complete baby name book, complete with over fifty new age names."

She laughed, "You seriously didn't."

"Oh I did, because I know you and you'll wait until the last minute and then this baby will be born, and he will have no name, and then you'll just decide on the first thing you see, and then my nephew will be known as 'Chair'.

"That would never happen."

"It would and will now you look through this book and I'll look through the other one."

"You bought two?"

"Yeah, I'm supposed to help you aren't I?"

"Yeah," She flipped to the boy sections and started to look for names, the room was quiet, only the flipping of pages could be heard. That and the TV

"He don't give my momma any re-spection. That she de-serves. He's always playing his banjo, and he ain't tooken me to the square dancing fair in four months," a lady on the TV was complaining.

Shay just sat on the couch laughing.

"What?" Wally asked as he looked up from the book.

"You don't take me to the square dancing fair," she snickered.

"Get back to looking" he chuckled nudging her. "Hey how about Roderick?"

"Umm, no."

"Why not?"

"It sounds like an elderly person's name."

"Well Roderick will be elderly some day."

"No, he won't. Keep looking."

"How about Warner? It means guarding warrior?"

"No, I don't some warrior kid like all other Thanagarians, he'll be different," she said smiling.

"How about..." He began.

"How about I just call him Bob?"

"No, it's such a normal name."

"Well then I guess Chair is in the lead then."

"Well how about Chima? It means falcon, and falcons are close to hawks right?"

"Actually that one's not half bad. I'll keep it at the top of my list. Now, what about the girl names?" She replied.

"It's not going to be a girl," he replied sure of himself, "I told you a have a gut feeling about these things."

"I bet you," she got up from the couch and walked toward the kitchen, "I bet you it will be a girl just to prove you wrong."

"Nope definitely going to be a boy." He rebutled back.

"Wally!" she hollered, "You at all my brownies!"

"I did not, I only had for small ones."

"You had the biggest ones didn't you?"

"Yeah."

PS, no offense to anybody who had the name Roderick or Warner, or anybody else I offended, didn't mean to in anyway. Chapter five coming at yeah soon
