Chapter twelve: Names

"Always go yellow," Cristina said holding up a baby body suit, (you know the ones that cover the toes and covers the body except the head.) Mirage smiled at it, "isn't this just cute?" the girl laughed putting it in the trolley.

"Don't you think I should be buying the other stuff first? I already got all of Jo and Joe's old clothes, I just need a new pram, cot and all that stuff," Mirage dragged her feet following one of her best friends, "why'd I get stuck with you for the baby shopping? Why couldn't I go with Crystal and the others?" the black haired woman groaned.

"Because you love me," Cristina turned around and smiled, "you need some maternity clothes," Cristina nodded her head definitely and Mirage groaned.

Kai slipped his arm around the ever-growing stomach of Mirage and kissed her on the cheek, "I feel sorry for you," he mumbled against her hair.

"Kai! Help me," the five-month impregnated woman pleaded, "please?"

Kai chuckled lightly, "so how's the baby stuff going?" Cristina asked.

"We got the pram and the cot in the back of your fathers truck, we're just waiting for you guys."

"Doesn't seem like that's going to happen anytime soon," Tala scoffed looking in the trolley. "How exactly are you going to pay for all of this?" he asked picking p black booties and then throwing them back in the trolley, "cute," he mumbled.

"We saw Crystal and the others, you should see what they brought," Kai said pushing the trolley and walking through the isles, "so much stuff, don't know how they're gonna pay for it."

"My sister probably would," Tala answered looking at the baby foods they passed, "I remember babysitting your siblings Jo and Joe, they made me try the baby food," he cringed in disgust.

"Tastes terrible huh?" Mirage smirked her grey eyes glittering.

"How did two one year old kids get you to try and eat baby food?" Maria said from behind them. Her arms were laden with bags, "we spent a few brought all this cute adorable stuff that you have no use for," she said dumping them in her brothers arms, "now be a good brother and put them in the car." They all laughed as Tala glared at his sister. Maria then looked at her watch and turned to Kai and Mirage, "don't you have a doctors appointment?"

Mirage's eyes widened and she looked at the blue haired man, "shit," he hissed putting his arm round her waist and steering her out of the shop.

"Here's my card," Mirage threw the card at Tala who dropped everything in the attempt to catch it. "Are you sure you want to-"

"-My girl is pregnant and I want to make sure you and the baby are fine," Kai interrupted kissing her forehead. Mirage smiled and relaxed, "do you want to find out if it's a girl or a boy?" Kai asked entering the hospital building. He fidgeted nervously and he mahogany eyes darted around the building.

"I never knew you were afraid of hospitals."

"Some people are afraid of clowns, heights and drowning…I'm cautious around hospitals," Kai replied indifferently.

"You won't say afraid will you?" Mirage smirked her eyes glittering, something that just started happening. "You don't have to be all macho and stuff, I won't care. You don't have to act tough," she scoffed leaning into him.

"Fine I'm afraid of hospitals, the screaming and groaning and the smell."

"Did you hear mummy? The big man's scared of hospi – hospit – hospitables," a cute little boy by the age of six stumbled; he had honey blonde hair and laughing green eyes.

The man next to the blonde woman laughed, "don't mind him, he's just like his mother," he laughed and dodged the flying hand.

"What would that be?" she growled her left hand on her stomach and the right hand raised.

"You can't keep your nose out of other people's business," the man replied nonchalantly, "I'm Max by the way." They spent the next few minutes introducing each other, "so first child?"

"Um…yea," Kai scratched the back of his neck awkwardly.

"Oh…you fell pregnant by accident?" the Daisy said her blue eyes wide, "wow…and you are still together? You must be in Love," she sighed and shuffled around in her chair to get more comfortable.

Mirage gasped and stared at the woman, "how did you know?" she asked and smiled at the little boy that was poking his father's stomach.

"The awkwardness in…"

"Kai," Mirage put in.

"Kai's voice," Daisy smiled at her, "you are going to have beautiful children, and I can imagine it. Blue hair and grey eyes or black hair and mahogany eyes," she looked up as her name was called, "oh that's us!" she stood up difficultly and looked down at the couple, "it was nice meeting you, here's my husbands card if ever you want to get in touch. Our kids could play together," they laughed and shook hands goodbye. Soon leaving the young couple in the waiting room.

Kai stared at the monitor bewildered, "that! There on the screen is inside of you this very minute?" he asked gaping. Mirage nodded and smiled as she watched her baby move around, the doctor didn't tell them the gender, which made Mirage very happy.

"Oh, that's it head," Mirage smiled as the baby turned, "what names do you think we should call it?" she asked looking at his glowing face. "I was thinking for a girl…Tempest or Willow or Jade or Gazelle…" she trailed off frowning, "weird names that are unique," she nodded her head definitely.

"I don't know about boy names, the girl names are…"he paused for a second and wondered if he should really say it. He didn't want her to have a giant mood swing. "…different, and aren't that common." He said carefully watching her reaction he simply received a shrug.

"My name is weird, so is Butch's and the twins-"

"That was because the twins were named when the three oldest kids were around ten."

"Anyway moving on," Mirage mumbled looking back at the monitor and then at the doctor, "am I free to leave?" she asked.

Clyde glared at the silver haired boy, who currently had his arm around his twin sister's waist. He was never going to get used to the fact that his little sister was going out with an older boy, who had many girlfriends before her and isn't all that great at soccer! His face turned red as Gareth leaned down and whispered in her ear, making the fourteen year old giggle embarrassed. "Clyde, just leave her alone," Natalie groaned looking up at her best friend, "if anything happens let her learn from it."

Natalie had long brown hair and deep green eyes; she had that look about her that made her seem smart and full of wisdom. "But I don't want her to get hurt!" Clyde stomped his foot angrily as Gareth kissed Bonnie on the lips, "the bloody guy stole her first kiss!"

"You don't know Clyde, she could've kissed many other guys than Gareth and not told you," the brown haired girl replied through a full mouth.

"What do you know?" the twin asked looking at her distrustfully.

"Nothing! Just making a suggestion!" Natalie cried, "just leave her alone and play soccer or something. Also are you somewhat jealous?" she asked.

"No, I mean I don't want or need a relationship, as long as I have friends and family I'm fine," Clyde looked to the soccer pitch and swore, "my team is losing." He missed the sad look on Natalie's face and went to join his team.
