"So, did you two think of any names yet?" Victoria asked the parents to be. The group of six friends were in Trish and Lita's living room spending some time together, all six of them hadn't been together for a while so they decided to make a night out of it to just hang out and get together on a Saturday night. Lita shook her head. "Victoria for a girl and Victor for a boy." Victoria joked, "But I'm serious."
"I would never name my child Victor, it sounds like a old mans name." Lita said turning to look at John who was sitting right next to her. "Have you?"
"No." John answered.
"Alright, two babies, we each get one name." Lita suggested
"That's dumb."
"No it's not. That way we each can have a name we like without arguing, even though my name will stick no matter what and I have a chance to veto any of your names."
"And I can't veto any of your names?"
Lita gave him a look that said 'duh'. "I will be pushing them out of my body so I think I should get to do what I want."
"Your mommy is always using you as an excuse." John said speaking to her belly.
Lita rolled her eyes and then started to look down at her belly herself. "Your daddy is dumb."
"Your mommy is crazy." John still speaking to her belly.
"Your daddy is an idiot." This time she was looking at John instead of at her belly.
John looked up at her and started talking to her instead of her belly. "Your mommy has anger issues."
"Your daddy is arrogant."
"Your mommy is bipolar."
"Your daddy is a hot-head."
"Your mommy is stubborn."
"Your daddy is a jackass."
"Your mommy is a bi-"
She punched him in the arm before he could finish the statement. "Your daddy is immature."
"Actually," Dave interrupted rolling his eyes, "both your mommy and daddy are immature."
"Seriously guys, you argue way too much." Trish added.
Randy just laughed. "I believe you were talking about names and see where that got you."
"Shut it Randall." Lita said. "That's one name we are most definitely not going to name the baby if one is a boy."
"And why not?" Randy asked pretending he was offended.
"Because I don't like it. Duh."
"You don't like my name?"
"Randy I like, Randal, not so much. Plus, that sounds like a geek name."
"I am not a geek."
"I know you're not but you do have to admit it's a geek name which is why you go by the name of Randy."
"Point."
"April." John said randomly.
"What?" Lita asked.
"If one is a girl, we can name her April."
"No. We are not naming one of our children after a month."
"It's a name."
"I don't like it."
"Both of us were born in April and they will be born in April as well."
"So? I don't like it for a name. Plus, that's a really cheesy and stupid reason."
"Thanks for starting this." Dave said looking at his wife who just shrugged kind of looking sorry for starting it. John and Lita were very annoying when they started to talk about something they didn't agree on, this case, the names.
"Jacob." Trish suggested.
"We are not naming our child after a werewolf." Lita replied knowing how much her friend liked 'Twilight'.
Trish rolled her eyes. "It wouldn't be after a werewolf. I happen to like that name."
"Anyways. Mason." Lita suggested.
John shook his head. "No, I don't like it."
"I don't care, you don't get vetos."
John rolled his eyes. "Michael."
"No. There's a billion Michael's in this world. That's a way too common name."
"Do we get to suggest any names?" Trish asked.
"As long as you don't suggest names of werewolves and vampires."
"Emma. That's a pretty name."
Lita thought about it. "It is."
"Britney." Trish suggested.
John shook his head. "No."
"Ashley?"
"Trish. I am not naming one of my children a typical blonde name." Lita saw the look on Trish's face. "I have nothing against blondes, duh Trishy, you wouldn't be my number one, but the first thing that comes into mind when thinking of Britney is Britney Spears, no thank you."
"Oh." Victoria started to say feigning hurt, "Trish is your number one?"
Lita rolled her eyes. "You both were tied at number one but you dropped after you married Dave. That's just how is works."
Victoria turned her attention to Dave. "You ruined me." She joked to which Dave rolled his eyes.
"So what are you going to do about the whole last name thing?" Dave asked.
"Obviously they're going to have my last name." Lita said before John could.
"Children typically have their fathers last name." John spoke up.
"Yes, but we aren't having these children under typical conditions, so no."
"It's not like I just gave you my sperm and that was it, I'm with you now and I'm going to be here even when the babies are born."
Lita sighed. "Fine. Dumas-Cena or Cena-Dumas. Is that good for you?"
"That's a mouthful and those names don't even go together." Trish piped up.
"Shut it blondie. Do you want to be demoted as well?"
"She makes a good point." John said. "Just Cena sounds fine."
"Yes, but Dumas sounds a billion times better."
Dave chuckled. "You do realize people used to call you 'dumbass' in middle and high school?"
Lita was starting to get annoyed. "I'm going to disown all of you."
"You're stuck with Dave forever since he is your brother and that makes you stuck with me since I am his wife." Victoria said amused by this whole conversation.
"And you will always be stuck with me because of these two." John said putting his hand on her belly for a few seconds not noticing the look Dave gave him when he saw what John just did. "You can disown blondie and man-whore over there."
"What are we? Chopped liver? Li will never disown me." Trish said.
"If you keep taking John's side on the last name thing, I will disown you."
Trish rolled her eyes. "I just said it's a mouthful, I didn't say you should pick Cena over Dumas."
"Whatever. This is annoying me. We can talk about this later. I'm only four months pregnant. We have plenty of time to argue about names."
"Doesn't mean we can't talk about it."
"You're right, but not anymore for today. You all are annoying. Except Randy, he hasn't really said anything. He didn't even argue with me when I said I don't like his name."
"So I'm your number one now?" Randy asked grinning.
"Yes." Lita smiled at him.
"Yea cause she wants to sleep with you." Trish muttered under her breath with only Victoria and Lita hearing her which resulted in the older woman to laugh and the red-head to glare.
"What did you say?" Randy asked confused.
"Nothing." Lita answered for her still glaring at the blonde. "Shut it blondie."
"Don't worry about it Randall. It's a girl thing." Trish said joining Victoria in the laughter.
"I'm going to kill the both of you. Make it look like an accident. Be very careful."
"I was only joking Lili. No one heard."
"Whatever. Don't do it again."
"I'm confused. What's going on?" Dave asked.
"Nothing you need to worry about sweety."
"You'll tell me later?" He whispered to Victoria.
"You kind of already know." She whispered back continuing after she saw he was still confused. "I really don't think you want to be reminded. But remember that conversation about Li and her urges?"
Dave nodded. "Unfortunately. And you're right, I don't want to know."
Lita and Trish were in one of the rooms in their house the next day that stores random junk. They were planning on using it for the nursery.
"So how does this work? Where will the babies sleep? In your room or in here?"
"In my room for the first couple of months so I have to make space in there too. I guess this can be a day time thing until after the first couple of months? I don't know, we'll see but either way, I think I still need to get this done."
Trish nodded. "This is exciting. I can't wait to go shopping with you for furniture and clothes and everything." She thought about something else while the two friends just looked around in the room figuring what Lita was going to do with the room. "Um, are you going to include John in on this room thing?"
Lita shrugged. "If he wants. It's up to him."
Trish saw the look on Lita's face which told her what she was thinking about when she brought up John. "It's not your fault." She was talking about John and Maria's break up, break, whatever they wanted to call it that happened about a month ago.
"But I can't help but think it is. I mean, yea, I could care less about Maria but... if she makes him happy." She said with a disgusted look on her face. "Don't know how the hell she makes him happy but whatever."
"He's still happy without her."
"I know. Anyways." Lita clearly not wanting to talk about it anymore. Fortunately for her, Trish got the hint and changed the subject to what they were previously talking about.
"Are you going to have a specific theme?"
"Didn't think of that, I don't really know. But that's where you come in," the red-head said smiling at the blonde who was more than happy to help with anything her friend needed.
"Well this room should be big enough for two cribs and the other stuff. What about your room? What are you going to put in there for the first few months?
"Two bassinets. They can sleep in there for the first three months which would be perfect since that's probably when they could move into the nursery for the night as well."
"Would that fit in your room?"
"I think it will. If not, I'll make room. I'm going to have to either way so it should be fine."
"What are you two doin'?" A voice asked from behind them.
"Damn it Cena." Lita said turning around to see the intruder. "Do you not know how to ring the door bell or knock anymore? Should I take the key back from you?"
"I did ring the door bell. Maybe it's busted. Why are you in here?"
"This is going to be your babies nursery room." Trish said smiling.
"Oh. Are you already going to start with it?"
"Yes Johnny boy. There is a lot that needs to be done. Like painting. That should probably happen first right? Oh and new carpet." Lita said asking Trish.
"You know you should call my sister if you need any guidance for anything like this. She would be more than happy to help." Lita nodded thinking that she would take Trish up on her offer.
"Oh and we also have to baby proof the house."
"I could do that." John suggested.
Lita arched an eyebrow. "You know how to do that?"
"How hard can it be?"
Lita snorted. "I rather have a professional do that."
"He could probably do it. My sister's husband did their house so I'm sure John would be perfectly capable of doing it. Randy and Dave could help if you don't trust him by himself."
"And you think I trust him and Randy together?"
"Point."
"What's wrong with me and Randy?" John asked.
"Let's not forget what happened with Christian." Lita reminded him.
John snorted. "He deserved it."
"Indeed." Trish agreed. She always wanted to punch Christian herself but she was happy someone did it.
"Anyways. I think having Dave around would be a good idea. So you can have Dave and Randy's help or just Dave's."
"I think both of them would be good."
Trish chuckled. "Because you're afraid of being alone with Dave."
"No I'm not." John denied it but it was the truth, Dave did scare him sometimes.
"Yea, we don't buy it." Lita did know he was afraid of Dave because he looked so scared the night they told Dave they were planning on having a baby. "Remember when we told Dave the plan? You really thought he was going to kill you."
"Yes." He glared at her. "Because someone thought it would be a good idea to tell Dave you were already pregnant."
Lita shrugged. "It was funny."
"For you."
"No." Trish shook her head. "For the both of us. Only if I was there that night in the room. Damn it Li. You should have made a video." The two women started to laugh just thinking about the way John acted at that moment, Trish wasn't there but she could still imagine it after Lita told her.
"I'm really happy you two are laughing at my expense. Anyways. When are we going shopping for the room?"
"We can start next week. Look around at a few places. Trish is going to help since you know she lives for this kind of stuff. We should probably paint as soon as we can."
"Don't you want to wait until we know the gender?"
"No. We can just get neutral things. And who knows, maybe we'll have both of each, if that's the case then we would have to get neutral anyways."
"What color?"
Lita turned to look at Trish. "Trishy?"
"Um. Yellow?"
Lita scrunched her nose. "No. I don't like yellow as a paint color."
"Then green. We can find a nice light green color."
"That could work. And we can just look at the colors at the store when we go."
"Well, you two can decide it all and we can just go next weekend."
"Great. But we're going to need you as well as Randall and Dave to help move some stuff around in my room so we could make room."
"Room for what?"
"Bassinets" Lita replied. "The babies will be sleeping in my room for the first couple of months then move into this room. Good thing it's right next to mine."
"You really need bassinets?"
"Yes. I would be too scared to have them sleep on my bed. Plus two babies and me on my bed, not gonna happen. Maybe if it was just one baby. Got to be careful. I don't think we need the bassinets right away though. We can always get those last."
"Okay."
The week had gone by pretty fast. The red-head found morning sickness to be too much to handle on Thursday so she had to take off from work and she also took off on Friday and was getting restless sitting at home doing nothing, other than puking. She heard morning sickness usually went away around the third or fourth month of pregnancy and she was currently in her fourth month so she was hoping it would go away. But there were others that had morning sickness throughout their pregnancy, she would hate it if she were one of those unfortunate women.
"Li." Trish said looking at the different paint colors at a home improvement store they were currently in. They decided to check out some paint colors before they went to look at furniture. Trish said that the paint color and the furniture would have to match and look like they go together so it only made sense. "This color would be great for our babies. It's a nice color and neutral so if they are one of each it would go perfect." She picked up a paint sample card which had different shades of green on it. She was pointing at the light color which wasn't too light but wasn't that dark either.
"It is pretty."
"Or red. Red is a nice color too."
"Excuse me." They turned around to see a woman probably around her early twenties talking to them. "I don't mean to intrude but I think it's really great of you two to have a baby together. It's great to see same sex couples fulfilling their dreams of having children."
Anyone would think that the blonde and the red-head would be shocked by what they just heard, but the truth was that when they were in public sometimes people thought they were a couple. People always thought that about her and John as well. It wasn't that surprising that someone would assume Trish and Lita were a couple since Trish almost always referred to Lita's babies as 'our babies', which she didn't mind at all.
"Yes." Trish started to say wrapping her arm around Lita's shoulder. "I am so lucky to have found her. We are so lucky that someone helped us out." Sometimes they liked to have some fun and act like they were in fact a couple. It was easier for them to pretend they were having a baby together because John was not with them currently. He was in the store but they didn't know where he was.
"Yes. We are really lucky to have a supportive friend who ins helping us." And as if that was a cue, John showed up.
"I was lookin' for you both. I thought we were lookin' at carpet first?"
"Oh. Is this your friend who is helping you out?" Lita and Trish both nodded trying not to laugh. "I think it's a very noble thing for you to help your friends to have children."
"My friends?" John asked confused.
"Yes. And it's a good thing you're supportive. There are still a lot of close minded people in this world. You two look really happy together. I'm happy you found one another. Good luck with the babies." She smiled at Lita and Trish and left.
John still looked confused when the woman turned around and left them. "What? Does she think you both are a couple?"
Lita and Trish started to laugh when the coast was clear of the younger woman. "Yea. It's so funny."
"That's an image I wouldn't mind ha-"
"Pervert." Both woman muttered hitting him on the back of his head. They continued to talk about different color of paint they could paint the nursery. Lita really liked red and Trish agreed with her and imagined what type of furniture they could get for the room so they decided to buy the red paint. After that was done, they went to the carpet section and picked out a carpet color which they would have get done in every room. Neither of them liked the idea of the different rooms in the house having different color of carpets. Then they went to different baby stores looking for furniture and essentials that they could get but didn't find any they liked other than a crib but decided to go to different stores the next day or even the next weekend to see if there was something better. If there wasn't, they could always go back to purchase the crib.
Thanks for reading. Thanks for the reviews.
