I'm five months now, and showing. I'm definitely showing. The doctor assured me that there's only one baby in there, but I'm as big as I was at this point when I had the twins. The entire family went to have the ultrasound done a few weeks ago to learn the sex of the baby, it's a boy. Boone couldn't be happier and even Demetra is feeling better about it because I've assured her that she will always be my baby girl. Luckily this time I escaped having morning sickness. That's how I knew I was pregnant with the twins, really bad morning sickness. I've been confined to desk duty, I'm not even allowed to go down to the lab to see Abby, I can't go to autopsy either. I mean, its not that I'm not used to this, it happens every time, but I still don't have to like it. Abby comes up to visit me all the time though. Every time the elevator opens, it's usually her.
"Hey Kate, how the little munchkin?" She asks, grabbing Tony's empty chair and sitting down opposite me. She has been up to visit at least twice today, and its not even noon. She was so excited when I told her about the baby.
"He's fine; he's been kicking up a storm the last few hours though. Here, feel." She automatically places her hand on my belly, feeling the kicks from my little boy. She squeals with delight, all I can do is laugh.
"I wish he would just settle down so I could get some work done."
"Haven't you guys named him yet? I mean, you two had the names of the other four picked out right after you knew the sexes."
"Well, yeah, but we've run out of names. And I won't let him name it Anthony, if I don't get a Caitlin or a Kate, he doesn't get an Anthony or a Tony." I don't know what I would do with 2 Anthony's at home. Also, this is definitely our last kid, and there's no way that I am allowing a Tony Jr. when I can't have a Kate Jr.
"We should think of one. There are plenty of websites we can look at."
"Abby, Gibbs will kill me if he finds out I've been researching baby names while I'm supposed to be working."
"Oh he won't kill you, and if he finds out I'll say it was my idea." Yeah, Gibbs lets her get away with anything.
"Ok, so what letter should we look under? We already have an L, an M, a B and a D and then there's a K for me and a T for Tony."
"Shouldn't it be a C for u and an A for him?"
"No, we don't use our full names at all. Hmmm, how about A?" We scanned through the A names, none of them seemed to fit this baby. Abe, no. Adrian, no. Suddenly one caught my eye, Alec. It was different; I've never heard that name before.
"Alec DiNozzo? How's that sound Abby?"
"Yeah, and if he's anything like his father he can tell people its short for smart aleck." Abby is so right. Ok, on to the middle name.
"I think I want to use my father's middle name, Gregory. There we found you a name, will you stop kicking me Alec Gregory DiNozzo?" My only response is another kick. These next 4 months are going to be long.
"Hey, stop bugging your mommy; she needs to get her work done." Abby says, right at my stomach. Hmmm, it worked, he stopped kicking.
"Thanks Abs, it worked." Finally some peace. I sit back in my chair as Abby heads back down to the lab, then I start working on the paper work I have, interrupted only once in a while by a kick form Alec. I'm gonna have to talk this over with Tony of course, but I like the name.
Please R&R Thanks
