"Cress, I'm home!" called Thorne, stepping into the doorway of their house. No answer. "Cress?" he tried again, growing worried. Still no answer.
Smelling smoke coming from the kitchen, Thorne quickly ran there.
Cress sat on the floor, crying, next to a pan of what vaguely resembled burnt lasagna.
"Hey Cress," said Thorne, stooping down to his wife's level. "What's wrong?"
Cress sniffled, rubbing her eyes. "I'm fine."
"No, you aren't." insisted Thorne, raising his eyebrows. "You're sitting on the floor, crying your eyes out, and you say you're fine?"
"Our romantic dinner is ruined!"
"Cress," Thorne told her. "Calm down. I can always make something."
"But we were going to have a romantic dinner in the candlelight, and when it was time for dessert, I was going to look into your eyes while holding your hands, and tell you I was pregnant! But now all that is ruined!"
"Wait, WHAT?" yelled Thorne. "You're PREGNANT?" He gaped at Cress for what seemed like an hour.
Cress felt hot tears start to stream down her face. She tried blinking them away, to no avail. Thorne wasn't happy about the new baby, and-
"Wait, Cress, no, don't cry, it's a good thing!" Thorne exclaimed, smiling. "I'm going to be a father!"
"Wait, so you're happy?" Cress asked, just to make sure.
"Yes!" yelled Thorne. "Of course I am!"
"Thorne," said Cress.
"Yes?"
"I love you, but I am not eating your cooking."
"So," said Thorne, two days later. "I was thinking about it, and so, what are we naming the baby exactly?"
"How about Aurora if it's a girl?" Cress suggested.
"Nope." Thorne said, nonchalantly.
"What do you mean 'nope?'"
"We are not naming our baby Aurora."
"Why not?" Cress complained. "I like that name."
"Well, I don't." Thorne said.
"Then what do you suggest?" Cress asked.
"I was thinking maybe something like, you know, Rampion. For either gender."
Cress sighed. This was not exactly going the way she had planned.
"Annabelle." Cress said.
"That could work." Thorne decided. "But I had a second cousin named Anna."
"Thorne!" cried Cress, exasperated. "She was your second cousin! And it's not even the same name!"
"Well, still..." Thorne replied.
"What about-"
"Wait a minute!" interrupted Thorne. "Why are you only saying girl names? The baby is a boy."
"It's a girl." Cress said decidedly.
"No, it's a boy."
"Well, I'm the mother, and I know-"
"That the baby is a boy." Thorne interrupted again.
This was going to be a long nine months.
