Chapter 34
While John cuts the cake Marlena pulls out a writing tablet with names on it. One side had names for a girl and the other had names for a boy.
"We still have several weeks before the babies will be here so the names still might change. Before I say their names what names would you like to add?"
"Well I've always like more traditional names like…James, Matthew, Michael and John for the boys and Kathleen, Michelle, Ann and Elizabeth for girls."
Carrie said as Marlena circled 3 names on the list still not showing the others what was on their list.
"What about you Sami are their any names you would like us to consider?"
"I like the name James for a boy and Ann for the girl but I also like Marie and Elizabeth."
"What about you guys?"
"I think I speak for all of us when I simply say…at least we have a boy in there."
Brady says with a smile Eric and John nod.
"Never ask a guy what names they like, they never tell you. I like names that are far less used."
Belle said with smile
"Like what?"
"Well for starters I love the name Conner for a boy or Colin but I have to say I really like the name Matthew like Carrie does. As for the girls well I love the names Heather, Lillian, Iris, Michaela or Mekenzi but I have to agree with Sami and Carrie Elizabeth is a beautiful name."
"Belle you seemed to be leaning more towards flowers is their some reason for that?"
John asks as he hands out the cake to his family.
"I just think a baby girl needs a beautiful name and both lilies and heathers are beautiful flowers.
Marlena circles a few more names on the list and looks up at her children.
"Well are you ready to hear the names John and I picked out?"
They all nod both Marlena and John look up at them…
"Drum roll please!"
Eric and Brady tap on the counter nearby as the others wait in anticipation for the naming of the twins. After all it would be a family event.
