Again, I repeat that this is sixth grade writing and not even close to what I'm capable of. :P I was waay too lazy to completely rewrite it so I present to you an edited version! Next chapter I promise will be started from scratch and nothing old.:) So yay for that!
"Good gods, Annabeth! What the Hades is that stuff." Percy pointed at my small stack of books on the table in front of me. It might have looked small to me, but I was sure that in his eyes it was an entire years worth of reading. (Make that two years actually)
"A bit of light reading on baby names, that's all." I laid down a copy of, One Thousand Baby Names and Their Meanings.
"That's all? You might have well checked out the entire library!" I sighed.. That was the expected response.
I threw him One Thousand Baby Names and Their Meanings, "Don't you want to be ready? I've already picked out a few favorites." It might have taken me three hours to do so, but I had picked out a few.
"Why do we need a thousand? That sure seems like a lot." He shook his head and flipped to a page. "Okay woah! Overload here! Way too much for my dyslexic brain." He threw me the book, "Let's here your favorite girl names then. At least we've narrowed it down that we're having a girl."
"I was thinking Sophronia, it means wise in Greek."
"Sophronia? Um no. I can barely say that." Percy was going to be very difficult. I mentally groaned.
"But it has a good meaning. No doubt she's going to be really smart with me as her mom."
"It's weird."
"It's unique."
He sat down next to me, "Maybe just a little too unique. I am liking the Greek theme though."
I smiled brightly. At least we could agree on one thing. I opened Greek Baby Names. "Hopefully we'll find one in here."
Percy frowned, "I'm hungry. Why do we have to do this right now anyway? The baby's not gonna be here for like another 15 months or something." Face palm..
"I'm five months pregnant, Percy.. It doesn't take a year for a baby to be born." Men will never understand pregnancy. It's just another thing their brains are incapable of understanding. They don't get what we have to go through, its not easy! It's a fricken struggle! The throwing up, the cravings, the mood swings.. The list just goes on.
"Well sorry for not knowing!" Ugh. Percy pointed to a name, "What about Nicole? I kind of like that one."
"Too common. Everyone and their mothers name their children that." Oops, sorry for crushing your dreams dear.
"Fine then. Is this going to be all up to you?" He asked with an annoyed expression on his face.
"If it was all up to me, our daughter would be named Sophronia, Drucilla, or Theodora!" I threw my hands up in protest.
He paused for a moment, "I actually really like Drucilla."
"Really?" I was a bit astonished.
"No, it's hideous."
"Jerk."
So far, no luck..
"Delphine? We could call her Delly for short?" It was a hopeful suggestion.
"Nah. Doesn't really fit us. "What about Colette or Alice? Those are slightly unique." He suggested.
I thought for a moment. Alice wasn't so bad.. Even if it did remind me of a little girl falling down a hole. "Colette Jackson doesn't sound very good."
"And Delphine Jackson does?" True point. Not that I would admit to it though.
"How about Vanessa?" It was staying away from my unique, but maybe he'd like it. "It means butterfly."
"What does butterfly have to do with anything?" He was pacing now. We had to come up with something good, and soon.
I flipped through the book, "Diarria?" I asked giggling. He cracked a smile, "I think we've found a winner!" We were in stitches now! "Diarria Jackson! Sounds perfect! Do you think she'll get made fun of much?" He was laughing so hard he couldn't speak, "That sounds like Diarrhea! Oh my gods!"
After the diarrhea episode, we started taking things more seriously.
"Okay. Rapid fire now." Percy suggested. "Acacia?"
"No. Alexcis?"
"Even I agree that's too common." He chuckled, "Alyssa?"
"I like it, I'll write it down." I scribbled the name down on our so far blank piece of paper. He looked pleased that I liked something for once.
"Andrea?" I asked. Andrea Jackson sounded good. He nodded so I wrote that one down too. Yay!
Cassia and Cora made the list as well.
"Chloe?"
"Nah, sounds too girly. I want our daughter to be tough."
"Yeah, just like you." I grinned at the compliment.
"Demetria?"
"Mmm. It's kind of edgy. Write it down" and so I did.
"Fedora.." He said with a smirk. I knew he was kidding so I slapped his arm playfully.
"Lydia?" He asked.
"It seems too formal."
"Good point."
"Melissa or Pandora?" I questioned.
"Shocking, but I actually like Pandora." I knew the unique ones would eventually grow on him.
"Sophie." Dramatic pause.. "I really like that one."
"Okay, I guess it's pretty cute." I put it on the list under Pandora.
We smiled at each other after evaluating the list, "Well I do think we have a winner."
Okay, I'll let you guys pick the name! So please review!

Alyssa: means truth
Andrea: Strong and brave
Cassia: Cinnamon (lolol its cute!)
Cora: Maiden
