Beyond The Horizon
Chapter 3: Planning for the Future
Dallas, TexasSam Camden walked through the front door of the small one story home that he and his wife owned carrying a bag from Borders. He sat it down on the kitchen table and pulled out a thick book, then walked over to Faith, who was sitting on the couch watching the news. He picked up the remote and shut it off. Faith looked up at him with a confused smile.
"What's going on?" She asked, seeing the book in his hands. Faith scooted over and Sam sat down next to her.
"Well, I thought we should start talking about names for the baby...so that's why I picked this up." He said, holding up 'The Big Baby Name Book'. Faith smiled and ran to her office, returning a minute later with a blank notepad and a pen.
"OK." Faith said. "I'll write down all the suggestions that we like, and then we can narrow them down when we're done, all right?" Sam nodded and opened the book. Boys names were in the front, so they decided to do those first. He sat the book between them and they started to say the names that they liked. When they finished with boys names, they moved onto girls names. By the time they were done, Faith had quite a list. She handed the list to Sam and he looked it over.
Boys: Andrew, Anthony, Alex, Braiden, Brandon, Benjamin, Caleb, Christopher, David, Daniel, Ethan, Hunter, James, Luke, Matthew, Michael, Nathan, Noah, Robert, Ryan, Stephan, Timothy, Thomas
Girls: Anna, Amanda, Alexis, Ashley, Alyssa, Brittany, Brianna, Cassidy, Caroline, Danielle, Elizabeth, Ella, Hailey, Isabelle, Jessica, Katherine, Katrina, Lisa, Linda, Michelle, Melissa, Nina, Olivia, Patricia, Rebecca, Sylvia, Victoria
"OK, we have to cross out Chris and Michelle, because they're Sarah and Matt's twins...same with Noah. Our baby can't have the same name as their cousin. Out of the boys names, I like Anthony, Alex, Braiden, Brandon, Benjamin, Caleb and Ethan. And of these girls names, I like Amanda, Alyssa, Elizabeth, Isabelle, and Katrina." Sam told his wife. She crossed out the names that Sam didn't like, then looked over the ones that were still in the running.
"Well, for a boy, out of those names, I like Anthony, Alex, and Benjamin. For a girl, I like Amanda, Elizabeth, and Katrina." She told him. "Our son will have to have your first name as his middle name...follow tradition. How about...Benjamin Samuel? Ben?"
"I really like that. For a girl...how about Elizabeth Faith?" He suggested.
"Sounds nice. So...Benjamin Samuel or Elizabeth Faith?" She confirmed. Sam nodded his head and Faith smiled. She put her hand down on her stomach. Suddenly, an unsure look replaced her grin.
"Wait, wait, wait...this wasn't a good idea, I mean, what if this doesn't work out either, now we have the baby named! It'll make it even harder!" Sam took Faith's hands in his.
"It'll be OK. This is the farthest you've ever made in a pregnancy...that has to be a good sign. I can't guarantee that this will work out...but we can guarantee that it won't either." Faith nodded and Sam kissed here. "We can do this." He told her and she nodded, but somewhere deep inside her, she knew she wasn't so sure.

Kate walked over to where David was sitting at his wooden table in his apartment kitchen. With a smile, she sat down and looked over at her fiancé. He had a notebook open and a pen sitting next to him. Kate sat down a few books and brochures.
"OK...so here's choices for where we can hold the ceremony." She said setting out two brochures. "Here's some reception ideas. Now, ceremony décor: Flowers, I'm thinking either lilies, or roses." She opened to marked places in the books, showing pictures of the flowers. "More décor, around the edges of the room, I was thinking candles if there are shelves kind of high...we could have maybe flowers, candle, flowers, candle, ya know? And then, for the reception, I was thinking crème colored tablecloths and pink flowers everywhere. Then more candles, more flowers up high, like the ceremony. Then, I was thinking..."
"Kate!" David interjected. "Honey, listen, I love you and you know that, on...wedding details? We got engaged 2 weeks ago today and you already know all that?" He asked. Kate smiled sadly at him.
"I know baby, I'm sorry." She said. "I didn't mean to scare you. It's just...I've been thinking about my wedding since I was a little girl...but honestly...doesn't what I described sound wonderful? I mean..."
"Yes, it does sound nice. OK, Kate...I know how much it all means to you. Why don't you choose what you like on all the décor and everything, write it all down and once you know, come show me and we can chat about it, all right?" Kate smiled.
"Thank you, Davey." She said, kissing him. "That would be so much fun! I think I mostly have it figured out...but I'll have a great time. Thank you!" She raised her shoulders with a cute smile. "Yay. I'm going to go plan now..." She jumped up and kissed David before running over to his computer and starting up the internet to print some pictures for her fiancé.
David laughed softly to himself as he watched the love of his life look up pictures so happily on his computer. He loved it when she smiled. She looked so happy...she was glowing. He stopped work completely and turned his chair to face her. Today, he had something more important to look at then legal papers.
