"Ready… set….GO!" Keely screamed as she flipped over the piece of paper in front of her, Phil also flipping his over at the same time. They were sitting right next to each other at the kitchen table, each with a list in front of them and an ink pen in their hand. The lists had four names each and Phil and Keely were frantically putting names together, trying to find combinations that sounded pretty and went well with "Diffy".

They had sat down at the table just a few minutes earlier and Keely had explained the 'baby-related task of the day'. Eachlist had four names they both loved, and they were to put them together in as many combinations that sounded 'pretty' as they could. Phil laughed amusedly; the lists were face down on the table even though they both knew what was on each one.

They had both changed over the past few months. Nothing drastic, but they were becoming more and more mature as they prepared for the arrival of their little girl. They definitely seemed older- not physically older, but just more and more parent-like everyday. However, some things will never change. They still slow-danced in their bedroom, Phil still talked to Keely's belly daily, and they still used high school nicknames like "Philly-willy" and "Keels".

The parenting classes the month before had gone well; Phil and Keely were sure they were ready for this baby. The classes had covered a pretty wide range of knowledge, including how to help Keely in labor, what to do when you get to take the baby home from the hospital, etc. Upon the conclusion of the last one, a new friend of theirs, Alexis, came up to Keely and asked her "When your baby's born do you want to come over and have a play date with me and my baby?", which left Keely screaming "YES!" and, again, dancing.

So there they sat, at the table, each scribbling furiously. Finally, a few minutes later, Keely slammed her pen down on the table, pushed her chair back and rested her hands on her enlarged belly. Phil followed shortly after. They were sitting there, Keely trying to catch her breath, whenshe jumped a little, grabbed Phil's hand and placed it where hers had been, then flashed him a grin and said "baby."

Phil's eyebrows furrowed up as he looked at Keely and questioned "baby?"

Keely nodded back at him enthusiastically and, again, said "baby."

Phil went quiet again, his hand still on her stomach, until he smiled broadly, looked Keely in the eyes and said "baby! I…I… I felt the baby!"

Next thing she knew, Phil had his arms around her waist and was kissing her passionately, like back when they had first gone on their honeymoon. They stayed in that position, still kissing, for a few minutes before Keely pulled away and said, "Ok, let's see what we got name-wise!"

She picked up her list, cleared her throat and read, "Amanda Grace," then looked at Phil for some sort of reaction. He nodded approvingly, and then she began to read her next name "Dan…wait, why am I reading my list to you when you're right her next to me! You can read it yourself."

So, instead of reading the names to each other, they traded papers and began to mark off suggestions. Fifteen minutes later, only one suggestion remained on each of the lists. Keely counted to three slowly, and then they both smacked the lists down on the table and read what was left.

Phil jumped to his feet and pumped his fist in the air, yelling "THE CHOICES MATCH! THE BABY IS NAMED!" Upon hearing him, Keely laughed and once again leaned back in her chair and placed her hands gently on the top of her bulge and sighed contently. Phil calmed down, then sat down next to her and placed his hands on top of hers.

He leaned towards her and whispered in her ear "I love you Keely." Then, he leaned down towards her stomach and said "I love you too, my little…"

TADA:) Another chapter down! Yay! I didn't put the name at the end mainly because I'm not sure if I want to keep it a surprise or not. I do want it to be a surprise, but I want to tell someone so I can get feedback and, if need be, change it. So, if you can help me and want to know the name before the end of the story, 'drop me a line' in the reviews or the Private Messages (they're so cool!) and I'll let you know :)

The ballet went FABULOUSLY, thank you so much everyone for support:) You guys seriously rock my socks off!

Please review!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
