28 weeks: name game
Jamie looked up from his phone, "what about the name Elena?"
Eddie tilted her eyes towards the ceiling and thought about it, "no, that's not us."
Eddie continued to scroll through the names on the baby app. "Every single app shows the exact same names." She sighed in frustration.
"Summer?" She suggested, just throwing anything she could think of.
Jamie looked at her funny, "so, what happens in the winter," he laughed.
Eddie smirked and looked back down, "good point."
They have been doing this for the last several nights trying to pick out a baby name. They would search their phones and throw names at each other until they could both agree and so far neither of them could agree on one.
"Vanessa?" Eddie suggested.
Jamie thought about it for a hot second, "that's too traditional, our names are weird."
Eddie shook her head, she knew it was true. "Okay, but I don't want our kid like us. Remember how that lady thought I was you, and you were me. I don't want that to happen."
"I will never forget that day," Jamie remembered t like it was yesterday. "Yeah, please don't give birth in a movie theater. If you are anywhere close to going in labor, please, just you know, call me," he laughed in all seriousness.
"Maybe I'll feel like giving birth in a movie theater, even better, in a parking lot," she teased him.
Jamie adjusted himself in bed and looked over at her, "Ed, I swear if I get a 9-1-1 that you are giving birth in a street, there is something wrong with us."
Eddie smacked her hand against the bed and laughed, "don't worry I won't do that to you," she explained. "I have all intentions of being in a hospital prepared when I'm giving birth," She sighed. "Yeah, we need to take about that by the way."
"About what?" He asked and looked over at her.
"When I have the baby, who's going to be there."
Jamie sighed, "well my whole family is going to be in the waiting room, just so you are ready for that."
Eddie looked over and faced him, "as long as they aren't in the room when I'm having her, that's fine."
"Yeah, that'd be a bit weird," he smirked in her direction.
"I'm just making sure because you guys still like to trick me at dinner." She sighed and continued to scroll through the names.
"Well, I wouldn't care if they all watched each other give birth, I just want you and I in the room," Jamie notified her.
"Thank God," she sighed as relief passed through.
She could continued to swipe pass the different websites and she even managed to take a quiz to find a good name and she didn't like it. "Our kid isn't going to have a name," she sighed in frustration.
"Yes, she will" Jamie soothed. "Just give it time."
"I've given it three weeks Jamie," she plopped her head on his shoulder.
They both put their phones down and stayed in complete silence. "Katie," Eddie said without asking.
"Katie Reagan," she smiled and looked up at Jamie.
He's thought about it and looked back down at her, "I like that. It's different," he said and kissed her head.
"Yay, the baby isn't no name any longer," she laughed. "We just need a middle name."
"Oh geez," he smirked. "Now we have to find some that match with Katie."
"Good luck with that," Eddie laughed. "Forget the middle name," she joked.
"Katie Alic-" he started and Eddie stopped him halfway.
"No, it just sounds weird." She laughed. "Reminds of that lady who stole the baby," she said to him and thought back to when she was nervous about someone taking their baby. "No Alice, please. God, no Alice," she sighed
"Katie Mia?"
"No, don't like it," she sighed. "Why is this so hard."
"You're telling me."
"Katie Jamie," she laughed and saw Jamie glance over at her. "I'm joking, I'm joking."
"Pain in my ass," Jamie teased her.
They sat in silence again and Jamie watched as Eddie started to zone off. He turned the T.V. off and fell asleep the same way he has been for the past few months with Eddie's head on his chest. It seemed to be the only way she could actually fall asleep.
Eddie woke up in the middle of the night as usual and just stared at the window. She looked over at Jamie who was passed out next to her. She got up to go to the bathroom and found herself sitting in the baby room on the rocking chair playing with a teddy bear.
Jamie woke up a few minutes later and saw the bed next to him empty, the lights to the bathroom off and the bedroom door open. He swung his feet over the bed and walked into the hallway and found the baby's room door open. He stretched his arms back and walked in.
He saw her sitting in the rocker, "babe, what are you doing, it's late." He said and crouched down next to her.
She looked over at him, "I couldn't sleep," she sighed. "I don't like the name Katie," she decided.
"Ed, we don't have to choose a name now." He said and moved over to the end seat.
"I know, I just, I have a lot on my mind," She sighed. "The name didn't feel right and now I'm tensed for some reason."
Jamie rubbed her leg and watched her stare out the window. He saw how she was putting so much thought into this.
"Scarlet," he said and Eddie's attention sprung right to him.
"Scarlet?" She asked and thought about it. "Scarlet Reagan…"
"It flows, it's different, it's us," Jamie pointed out.
Eddie looked around the room, "It's perfect," She smiled at him.
Jamie signaled for her to scoot over on the chair and he sat down next to her. He wrapped his arms around her body. She relaxed into him, "Gracie," she popped. "Scarlet Gracie Reagan."
Jamie looked over at her and saw how she immediately calmed down when she settled with the name. "Yeah?" He gave it a thought and kissed her head, "I think it's the perfect name."
They both looked around the baby room. "So it's settled." He looked at her.
"Scarlet Gracie Reagan," she looked up at him and sighed in relief. "It's settled."
Well, looks like she has a name! Do you like it? I got the name from the deleted scene and I thought it was the perfect name. Read and review!
