Baby Talk

Summary: A funny future fic about Scott and Shelby making plans.

/Bonus points to the readers who know where ALL the names come from./

Shelby's blue eyes blankly stared at the yellow water stains that speckled the white ceiling. Her finger absently twirled a lock of her silky golden blonde hair as she pondered over things in the silence of the apartment. She didn't have to look at her boyfriend Scott to know that he was lying next to her in their bed, flipping through a football magazine.

Pulling the warm, grey comforter closer to her body, Shelby broke the silence with an unexpected question, "Hey Scott, do you ever think about having kids?"

He looked up from his magazine, surprised at Shelby's unforseen question. "Kids? Not really," his attention quickly shifted back to his magazine.

Shelby looked back at the ceiling, but soon became restless in the silence. "What would you name your kid if you had one?" Even with her eyes fixed on the ceiling she could tell he was confused at her sudden curiosity with babies.

Scott, who was hopelessly trying to finish a column by his favorite sportswriter, tried to politely brush her off. "I really never thought about it Shel."

He then managed to get through two more lines of the article before she continued questioning him.

"What about Lilly? I've always liked that name. Would you name your baby that?"

Scott sighed from his side of the bed. "You would name your daughter after a flower? Not if it's my kid." He started to read faster in hopes of finishing the article.

Shelby's brow furrowed in deep concentration, "I like the name Alissa."

"My ex-girlfriends name is Alissa."

"Okay, no Alissa," Shelby replied immediately, almost cutting him off. "Kimberly?"

Scott stayed silent for a moment, trying to read about football and think about babies at the same time. "Wasn't that a power ranger?"

"Ugh," Shelby rolled her eyes, slightly frustrated, "Then what name do you like?"

"Uhhh..." His eyes scanned the page he was currently reading, they landed on a girl's name in the byline of another article, "What about Andrea? Andrea Joy."

Shelby made a face, "Scott those names are terrible."

"We can think of a nickname," he tried to find where he had left off in the other article.

"Like what? A.J.? It would be cruel to name a baby girl that."

Sighing, Scott looked longingly at his article before he tossed it aside, at least he would have something to read later. "Well who said it had to be a girl?"

Shelby turned to look at him, glad that he was finally focused on her. "A boy huh?"

"Yeah, a son." Scott sunk down into the bed, making himself level with Shelby.

"Hmm, you know I've always liked the name Hayden."

"Hayden?" Scott's faced looked almost as if it held fear, "Shelby that's a horrible name. If you have a son you have a responsibility to give him a guy's name. Nothing like Hayden."

Shelby laughed at him, "Scott it's not that big of a deal."

"Yes it is Shelby," with a serious expression he continued, " Poor Hayden would get beat up every day. It has to be a cool name, like Sam."

"No. Sam is too plain, a million other kids have that name. It has to be something original."

"Like what? Lorenzo?"

Shelby looked taken aback by his comment. "Eww! Lorenzo? What kind of a name is that?"

"Shel, it was a joke," he rolled over in the bed, throwing his arm across her and closing his eyes as he buried his face in her hair, "Besides, we have a while to argue."

Unbeknownst to him, Shelby nervously bit down on her bottom lip. "Actually," she hesitated, "We only have eight months."

Scott's eyes grew wide and his heart stopped beating. He slowly sat up to stare Shelby in the face, "What?"

She smiled nervously, "Eight months."

After Scott's heart started to beat again, a huge smile spread across his face, and Shelby let out a breath she hadn't known she was holding.
