The Perfect Name

The couple knew they were possibly getting ahead of themselves and possibly setting themselves up for heartache because the majority of miscarriages occurred in the first twelve weeks of pregnancy and Calleigh was only six weeks along, they had already picked a name if the baby was a girl. Her name would be Nevaeh Hope Delko. Nevaeh was heaven spelled backwards and 'heaven' was exactly what she would be to her parents. They had yet to think of a name for a boy.

Four Months Later...

They didn't need to think of a name for a little boy anymore. Calleigh was now five and a half months pregnant. The couple could breathe easier now the doctor told them Calleigh was well past the point where miscarriage usually occurs and to add to their joy, the ultrasound showed their baby was a girl.

Eric and Calleigh were ecstatic. The doctor was touched to see both the expectant parents cry at the news. The dad and mom-to-be had started talking to their little bundle of joy since they knew about her. Oh yeah, Calleigh was now Calleigh Duquesne-Delko. They exchanged vows at the city hall two days before they found out they would indeed have a daughter. Only Horatio, Frank, Alexx and Natalia were in attendance. Eric's parents weren't invited. To his disappointment they still hadn't got past the fact that the bride was pregnant. It had bothered them that the couple had waited even this long to get married with Calleigh being pregnant. He didn't want them watching him and Calleigh exchange vows with gloomy expressions on their faces. Annoyed, Eric had told them that it was 2009, not 1950. It really bothered Eric that his parents still weren't all that excited about the baby simply because of the conception time. It was a good thing that the grandparents-to-be had decided to keep quiet about the fact they didn't like the "weird, new-age" name the parents-to-be had picked out for their child.
