Naming the Kids

After that last dream, I started to, to put it mildly, freak out. Of course, Artemis Fowl the Second never freaks out, so Butler noticed something was wrong. But nothing could make me tell him about the dreams I've been having. That last one was definitely the scariest. To think that I could be defeated at chess? By Holly? I couldn't bear it…

A very pale (paler than usual) Artemis Fowl II was at the hospital. He was waiting in the maternity ward for the nurse to come give him news. At last she came running through the double doors. "It's a girl!" she said.

Artemis paled even further. In fact, he was so pale that the nurse (who was still quite new) almost panicked and asked him if he wanted to see the doctor. Artemis ignored the poor woman and went into the hospital room.

When he got by the bed, Minerva was glaring up at him. "I hate you," she said.

Artemis was taken aback. "What?"

"Don't worry, they always say that," whispered the doctor to Artemis.

"So, what are we going to name her?" asked Minerva, holding the small blonde girl in her arms.

"How about… Angeline?" asked Artemis.

Minerva sighed. "How unoriginal, Artemis. How about… Minerva Geneviéve?" Which was, of course, her name.

It was Artemis's turn to sigh. "Whatever you say, dear," he said.

"No, Artemis, you have to decide with me!" cried Holly.

Artemis looked at his beautiful wife and his lovely little raven-haired daughter. Then a name hit him like lightning. "How about Diana, the Roman equivalent of the Greek Artemis?"

Holly looked at him. "You know… I like that. Diana."

"Holly being her middle name, of course," said Artemis with one of his unusual smiles.

"Diana Holly Fowl."

It is official. I, Artemis Fowl the Second, am concerned about my health.

Awww! Did you notice where Minerva changed to Holly? Of course you did, you're smart readers! Please review!
