Chapter 35

The drum roll Eric and Brady are doing echoes in the room. Just as Marlena is about to say the boy's name John stops her mid sentence as Eric and Brady stop their drum roll.

"I don't know Doc maybe they should wait to hear the names until they are born."

"Come on dad that isn't fair. Why did you ask what names we like if you aren't going to tell us until they are born its 4 months away?"

"I just like to watch you dance."

"Dad!"

"Okay will you do the honors Doc?"

"Well Carrie, Sami, and Belle we are very glad that you all liked the name Elizabeth because that will be her middle name. Belle, we know how much you loved the name Heather and we were glad to hear it. Because her name will be as follows…Heather Elizabeth Black."

"And boy though you didn't' picked names out yourself Marlena and I decided we would name the baby after me of course so his middle name is John. Now his first name you mother and I have been working on for weeks and we finally agree on it. Are you ready to hear his name?"

"Of course we are spill it John."

Eric said with a smile as a light chuckle came back around the room.

"His name will be Matthew John Black. Hopefully he's as dashing as I am."

John said with a smile it was a proud moment.

"So we have the names…Heather Elizabeth for the girl and Matthew John for the boy. Now all we need is to find a bigger house. You can't expect to stay in the penthouse forever do you? I mean you've lived here 100 years I think its time for a change."

"I never thought about leaving the penthouse. It's our home it has been our home for a very long time I don't think I want to raise the twins anywhere else."

"You know Doc the kids are right I think it is time for us to move into our very own home with a backyard, pool, jungle gym, and lots of land. Wouldn't you want to raise our kids with a backyard?"

"I suppose I would be getting rid of the penthouse. I can't see anyone else living here?"

"So why don't we keep the penthouse that way when the twinners are all grown we can come back here and live out the rest of our lives."

"Do you mean it John we can keep the penthouse?"

"Why not, I bought it for you 20 years ago for you."

Marlena hugs John as the rest of the family join it soon after.
