A/N- And we have a winner. I would like to thank everyone who guessed, and for those people who are going to check the reviews to see what the names are, the person who won guessed the girl's name right first but then PM'd me with the boy's name.
Iggy: Yeah, because I am not naming my kid after myself. I think that would get confusing.
Me: I've never understood that.
Iggy: Me neither. I'm glad someone got it especially since the story is going to end Tuesday.
Me: Iggy!
Iggy: Oh, did you want to say that?
Me: Yeah I did, at the bottom.
Iggy: Okay then. Later. –Jumps back in-
What are We Going to Name It? Chapter 13
Ella POV
Iggy's parents stayed for a couple more hours before they left. It really seemed like they meant everything they said, but like Iggy said, if they started messing with us, there would be hell to pay. Especially from me. It was about five when they left.
"I don't feel like making dinner tonight. How about we order pizza?" Iggy said.
"Well, I have a date, so count me out." Said Angel.
"Have a good time." Said Ella. To me she said, "Pizza sounds great."
"What do you want on it?"
"How about Hawaiian, I know it's your favorite."
"Sounds good. I'll go in the kitchen and order it."
That left me all alone sitting on the couch. A lot of thoughts crossed my mind. I thought about how lucky I was to at least have one parent who cared for me. I thought about how our kids would most likely have both of their parents to help them along.
"You two are very lucky." I said. "I promise to try the best I can to raise you right. I know I won't be perfect, but hopefully it'll be enough." I must not have noticed Iggy sitting next to me. He put his hands on my stomach.
"And the same goes for me. I know that there will be times when the things I say will seem restrictive or overprotective, but just remember, I'm just looking out for you. And I know this won't be the last time I say this but, be lucky Aunt Max isn't your mom because she's really strict, I should know." He said.
"And how do you know I won't be that strict?"
"Because, you're less paranoid than Max. I think you'll be more like your mother."
"That's very sweet, I think you're going to be one of those dads who everyone likes."
"Yeah, then I'll be the crazy old uncle everyone likes." I laughed at that.
"So, something your parents said got me thinking about something."
"And what would that be?"
"What are we going to name the kids?"
"That's a good question. I haven't really thought about it."
"Well, let me ask you something. How did you choose your name? I mean I know my name kind of means just 'girl' in Spanish, but is there any hidden meaning in your name?"
"Well, it's a long story."
"We have time."
"Yeah, I know, I just always wanted to say that. Anyway, it all kind of started back at The School. Even at a young age I liked lighting things on fire. None of the scientists knew how I did it. Every time I did they would always say I ignited something. They said it so much I thought it was actually my name. Fast forward a few years. I was suddenly moved into a bigger room with more experiments. Luckily for me it was Max and Fang. Fang was the king of darkness even then, so he didn't come over, but Max did. She asked me what my name was. I tried saying ignite, but I stuttered a lot when I was younger so what came out was 'Iggy'. I didn't learn until later that my name kind of meant fire in Latin. You should ask Fang sometime about his name. His story is even longer."
"That's a cool story, but that doesn't really help us out much."
"Well, the way I see it, we should wait until they're born and give them names based on how they look and act."
"That sounds like a good plan."
"And if they don't like their names, they can change them."
Iggy POV
Ella is the first person I've ever told about my name. She just knows how to coax those stories out of me without being pushy. The pizza was good and we ate all of it. That night Ella went to bed early, but I decided to stay up because I wanted to talk to Angel. She walked in some time during the 11 o'clock news.
"Hey Ig, what are you doing up?" Angel asked.
"I just wanted to talk to you about something."
"Sure. What's up?"
"Well, it's been hard not to notice that you and Holden are getting close to each other. You seem to spend most of your nights there, which is totally okay, but it makes me worry that you're not going to be here when the kids start coming. So, I had an idea. Maybe instead of you staying at his house, he could stay here with you until then. Do you think he'd be okay with that?"
"Probably, are you sure it's okay with you two?" I had already talked to Ella about it and she was fine with it.
"Yeah, it's fine."
"Well, I'll ask him tomorrow then. Goodnight."
"Goodnight to you too."
After that I went to bed too. I just laid in bed for a while listening to Ella's calm, even breathing. Then I kissed her forehead and then her stomach.
"I love all of you."
A/N- So, like Iggy blurted out up there, the story is ending Tuesday. I'm putting up the last chapter and a short epilogue that day. As per my formula, all thanks and notices about the next story will be in the A/N's so don't skip them. 183 days until Nevermore. Fly on, prosper, and may the odds be ever in your favor.
