Chapter 2: Baby Names
Vinny is tired from helping Sarah all day. Jake walks in Vinny's house and sees Vinny on the couch.
"Hey Vinny." Jake said to him.
"Hi." Vinny replied.
"What no smartass remark, no telling me to leave?" Jake then asked him.
"I'm too tired to kick you out." Vinny told him.
Matt comes down the stairs and sits on the couch next to Vinny.
"Dad, are you okay?" Matt asked him.
"I'm all right." Vinny replied.
Lorraine then walks in.
"Sarah said she needs you to help her again." Lorraine told Vinny.
"I hate Sarah even more now." Vinny said as he got off the couch.
Vinny walks out the door and goes to Sarah's house.
"Is Dad going to kill Aunt Sarah?" Matt asked Lorraine.
"No Sweetheart, he's just cranky because he's tired." Lorraine responded.
"How can you tell he's cranky? He always acts like that." Jake told her.
"I agree with Uncle Jake." Matt said to them.
At Sarah's house.
"Vinny, turn on the heat it's cold in here." Sarah told him.
"Sarah it's not cold in here." Vinny then told her.
"Vinny, could you please turn on the heat?" Sarah then pleaded.
Vinny sighs and turns on the heat.
"Thanks Vinny." Sarah said to him.
"Anytime. Just don't call me after midnight or before eight in the morning." Vinny replied.
"What if I need something in the middle of the night?" Sarah then asked him.
"Call me if and only if it's an emergency." Vinny told her.
"Don't worry I will." Sarah said to him.
"Can I go now?" Vinny asked her.
"Okay, I don't need you anymore today." Sarah told him.
Before Sarah could finish her sentence Vinny was already gone. When Vinny gets home he sits in his recliner and puts on the Yankee game. His cell phone rings.
"What is it now Sarah?" Vinny said as he answered his cell phone.
"It's Mike not Sarah." Mike told him.
"What's up Mike?" Vinny then asked him.
"Nothing much. I'm going to get a hotel room instead of staying at your place." Mike told him.
"Nonsense Mike. I want you to stay here." Vinny said to him.
"Are you sure Vinny?" Mike then asked him.
"I'm positive." Vinny told him.
"If you insist Vinny." Mike replied.
"Great I'll see you tomorrow." Vinny told him.
"I'll see you around noon." Mike told him as he hung up his cell phone.
Vinny hangs up his cell phone and it rings again.
"I'll be right over Sarah." Vinny said as he answered his cell phone.
"Thanks." Sarah said as she hung up her cell phone.
Vinny sighs and rubs his forehead.
"I better be going to Heaven for this crap." Vinny said looking towards the ceiling.
Vinny walks out of his house and goes to Sarah's house. He walks in.
"Great you're here. Can you turn down the heat it's too hot in here now?" Sarah asked him.
"You're son better be named after me for all the shit I've been doing for you." Vinny told her.
"I actually have a few names. You want to hear them?" Sarah asked him in excitement.
"Do I have to?" Vinny then whined.
"Yes." Sarah said as she grabbed his arm and sat him on the couch next to her.
"What names did you pick for your son?" Vinny then asked her.
"William, Kevin, Stephen, John, Gregory or Justin." Sarah told him.
"What happened to the name Elliot?" Vinny then asked her.
"Haha. Very funny." Sarah said to him.
"I thought it was also." Vinny said to her.
"And I was thinking of the name Don." Sarah told him quietly.
"What name?" Vinny then asked her.
"Don." Sarah repeated to him.
"That's a nice name but, I already have a nephew named Don." Vinny told her.
"I forgot that you have a nephew named Don but, I still would like to name my son that." Sarah told him.
"You're right the baby is your son. I only got to pick the names for two of my kids. Marie and Matt." Vinny then told her.
"I know that all your kids are named after people that you and Lorraine knew. Could you explain who your kids are named after again?" Sarah asked him.
"Daniel was named after Lorraine's first boyfriend, Kate was named after your Mom, Lorraine liked the name Brian and it was the name of her boyfriend before me, Marie was named after my Aunt Marie and Matt was named after my friend Mark that died in a car accident. Mark's middlename was Matthew. That's why Matt's middlename is Mark." Vinny explained.
"That's really interesting. What's your middlename?" Sarah then asked him.
"Joseph, the same as Danny's." Vinny replied.
"Joseph is a good name also. I'll put it on the list." Sarah told him as she wrote the name Joseph on the list.
Vinny leaves and goes back to his house.
