A/N: This chapter is quite short, I'm sorry to say.
As the months went by I got fatter. Even though I was supposed to be fat, I didn't like it.
Soon we all had a daily schedule worked out. Uncle Everett taught at the University almost all day, Eddie worked at the coffee shop starting just after lunchtime, Magenta came over in the afternoon to read with me, and then we ate dinner. For some reason Uncle Everett had forced Eddie to start working at the coffee shop. I have a feeling that it had something to do with the dress code he'd have to follow.
Magenta and I had finished reading Carmilla after only a few days. Then, Magenta decided to read Shakespeare with me.
"Why? I can't understand most of it!" I whined.
"If you want I can point out all the dirty jokes. The earthling who wrote this really seemed to like that sort of thing," she replied.
"Fine!"
After a while I began to enjoy listening to her read. We'd sometimes take turns reading, in fact. From these plays I got ideas for the baby's name.
For some reason it became Magenta's job to remind me to take vitamins and force me to go on walks. I couldn't help but wonder what her brother thought of all this.
"He's too busy trying to fix the castle. Apparently we can't go back to our planet unless he does a few things. If you ask me, he just likes it here," she explained.
And so weeks and months went by.
In March, eight months in, I realized something.
Eddie, his uncle, and I were sitting in the living room. I was showing them a list of names I'd picked out. Uncle Everett was politely feigning interest at this.
"I just realized something... we never got married!" I said.
"I vould've forced you two to get married, if ve all vere'nt so busy. But you vill get married once zis baby is born, ja?"
"Of course," Eddie replied.
"I von't have to invite my friends from Argentina to make sure, vill I?"
"No!"
I rolled my eyes. At that point I pretty much knew that these friends of his were fictional. Poor Eddie didn't, apparently.
We then went back to looking at names. In the end, we'd decided on one first name two middle names- all inspired by characters from plays Magenta read me.
Can any of the readers/reviewers figure out the name of Columbia's daughter?
She shares her first three names with characters from Shakespeare's plays:
First name= a woman Romeo failed to woo
1st Middle name= a shrew that needed taming
2nd Middle name= a debatably suicidal girl from Denmark
