Javier and Katey walked hand-in-hand through the streets of St. Louis. Some people who Katey had known all her life were there. Instead of "Hi, it's so nice to see you" Katey and Javier got stared at and looks of disgust. Katey tried to ignore the ignorance of the people she knew. Javier didn't seem to notice the looks. Or at least he didn't seem to mind. I guess he's used to it, working at the hotel and all, Katey thought. She held her head high and was proud to be with Javier. Although she was barely 19, she knew she would never find another Javier.

"Hey, Katey," Javier began, "I was thinking, maybe, maybe when the baby's a little older, and if we have more money, we could get a dog?"

"That would be nice," Katey said, smiling. "We could get it and raise it with out baby." Katey used her free hand to rub her swollen belly. "Ah, there's the shop with the cute bibs and clothes!" Katey pointed.

Javier grinned and led the way into the shop. Javier was fooled. Although the store was fancy looking with beautiful clothes, it was fairly cheap. What a relief, he thought. Katey was looking at soft blankets.

"Oh, Javier," she cried out, "they're so soft. What about this green one? It's only $7."

Javier smiled. "Okay, Sweetheart."

Javier only spent $42. He was happy. They had bought a blanket, a plain green bib, and two outfits that would be suitable for a boy or a girl. Once they had the baby they could get more clothes in pink or blue.

As they walked through the town back home, Javier carried the bag in one hand and held Katey's hand with his other. Katey smiled as she thought about what would become of their lives. They were about three months away from having a baby and they had absolutely no idea what they were going to do. Her smile faded as she saw two boys headed her way. She recognized them. Katey went to school with them since 3rd grade. They were never really nice to her. She tried to think of their names. Okay, the tall one with blue eyes and brown hair...that's uh, what's his name...oh yeah! That one is Zachary Brown. Now let's see, the other one is...Greg Foggsworry. Katey hoped they didn't say anything. As they neared closer, she saw two girls chase behind them. The two turned around and hugged the girls. I know them. Shawna Jones and Samantha Wellington. Shawna and Sam have been friends for years...wow; I guess they really will be best friends forever.

"Look what the cat brought back from Cuba," smirked Shawna, the others giggled as she gawked. "So, now what Katey? You're pregnant and that low life Spick is the father of your mixed kid?"

Shawna's words hurt. "Javier is a respectable man and I'd rather have him father my child than these two scumbags," Katey shot back, referring to Zachary and Greg.

Sam's mouth hung open. She never expected Katey Miller to say that, much less to popular people. "We'll see who wants who fathering their child when you're out here on the streets with a baby and this jackass has run back to his home country, if you would call it that, with your Daddy's money." Sam smirked at her come back.

"Porqué don't usted los asno van de nuevo dondequiera que al infierno usted vino de y estancia de estancia del negocio de cada unos lejos de mí Katey y nuestro día del niño buen," Javier yelled, pulling Katey with him as he stomped away.

Katey looked behind her and stuck her tongue out at the four who stood lost at what Javier had said.

"What did you say, Javi?" Katey asked.

"I told them to leave us alone," Javier said. "And I called them asses."

They both laughed as they entered the apartment building. It was almost 8:00. Katey took a bath when she got home, while Javier cleaned up the living room. As soon as she was done her bath, she went to bed. At 9:30, Javier joined her.

"Katey, are you awake?" Javier asked, staring at the ceiling.

"Yeah," Katey replied. "What's on your mind?"

"I was thinking," Javier began, "that if the baby is a boy, maybe we could name him a family name."

"Maybe," Katey said, "did you want something Spanish?"

"I was thinking more of like a Spanish name in its English form. Could we name him after my father?"

"Sure, what was his name?"

"Eduardo."

"So, you want to name the baby Edward if it's a boy?"

"Yeah, and call him Eddie."

Katey sat up and smiled, "Well, sure, okay."

Javier kissed Katey and smiled.

"Do you think if it's a girl, we could name her Havana? Or make her middle name Havana, after the wonderful city where we met."

"Okay, Katey, if you really want to."

But they still had 3 months to choose a name. They didn't even know if the name would fit the baby.

Javier and Katey fell asleep that night in each others arms. Sleeping soundly, Katey dreamt of raising her new child. Everything was calm and peaceful. The baby was so happy. Everything was there. Food, a crib, blankets, it was like a dream home... because it was just a dream.
