A/N: For some reason, Carol is pretty interesting to write. I guess she's just an interesting character. :)
I know nothing of Carol's actual back story, so if she was married to Ed for longer than what I implied… just ignore it.
A Day in the Life
Title: The Name Game
Characters: Carol
Pairings: Carol/Ed (Mentioned)
Word Count: 241
Ed wasn't the doting type. She knew that, but she had hoped that he would seem a bit more eager when he found out he was going to be a father. Instead, he simply acted as if it proved his masculinity, the fact that he had gotten her pregnant within their first year of marriage.
She was alone in the process. She had to buy all the baby necessities - or at least as much as he would allow her, she had to paint and decorate the baby's room (and wasn't that just healthy for her?), and she had to go to all her doctor's appointments by herself.
She was so busy that she didn't even think of a name for the baby until she was nine months pregnant; almost ready to pop, as Ed liked to say as he pointed at her bump and laughed. She could name her Julia, after her mother, or maybe Edwina, in honor of her husband. Ed would like that; he had made it clear he was disappointed that she hadn't begotten a boy.
She was sitting in bed, rubbing her tummy; the baby was so good it barely made a fuss so she had to feel for it to reassure herself that it was still okay. Suddenly, she realized, with what must have been divine intervention, what her child's name should be.
Sophia; after all, she could use a little wisdom in her life.
A/N: Sophia is Greek and means wisdom.
