The Name Game

"What about Lorelai?'

"What?"

"Lorelai the third, no fourth"

"We can't name her Lorelai aswell" Luke laughed and wrapped his arms around his wife.
"What about Greta?" Luke suggested "It was my Aunt's name"

"She doesn't really look like a Greta"

"Yeah, you're right"

Lorelai looked lovingly at the tiny bundle laying before her, fast asleep.
"She's so cute like that."
"They always are when they're asleep!"

"I know, we could go all 'Hollywood celebrity' and name her something bizarre like 'Moonfly', 'Butterfly Gem' or 'Princess Star'! What do you think?" Lorelai asked looking up at Luke
"I think you've been reading too many of those trashy magazines, that's what I think!"

Luke gazed around the room until his eyes rested on a bunch of flowers.

"Hey, here's an idea. How about Lilly?"

Lorelai looked thoughtful for a few seconds, and a smile slowly spread across her mouth.

"Lilly. I love it!"

She carefully picked up the little curled up figure, and held her close to her chest.

"Hello, Lilly," she said softly.

Lilly opened her eyes and gave Lorelai's hand a small lick. Luke laughed.

"I think she likes it too!"

Lorelai scratched her gently under the chin.

"I'm really happy we decided to get a puppy."
