"Cora?" Emily read out of the baby name book she was clutching. She was now officially four months pregnant, and she really wanted to pick the names for the twins. Garcia teased her about her obsession with names, but Emily didn't care. It would give her peace of mind to just have it chosen.

"No way." Riley said. She turned her head from the homework she was doing to give her opinion on the names. Jack was captivated by the movie that was on television; so captivated that he didn't bother blinking. Emily was sitting on the couch with the book and Hotch was diligently rubbing Emily's swollen feet.

"No, I don't think so either." Hotch said. "Not that Riley here gets a say."

"Rude." Riley laughed and she began writing again.

"Coral?" Emily asked.

"I'm not a fan of nature names." Hotch said.

"Coralia?" Emily read.

"Nope." He shook his head quickly.

"Coralie?" She asked.

"Are you just reading out every name in alphabetical order now?" Riley asked. Previously, Emily only suggested names that she liked.

"Yeah, I gave up on picking ones I like. Your stupid father hates everything." Emily whined dramatically.

"You like weird names!" Aaron protested quickly.

"It's called modern." Emily said, rolling her eyes.

"Modern, moron." He said quietly and she heaved a pillow at his head.

"Whatever! You like names from 1534. Old school." She said back.

"I am a fan of classics. I'm sure you figured that out already." He shot quickly.

"Okay," Riley piped in. "Why don't you both suggest names you like. You can each dismiss five names for each gender without question. I'll write down the five."

"Sounds like a plan." Emily agreed.

"Shouldn't you be doing homework?" Hotch asked skeptically.

"I am. I've been working for three hours now, and it's only Friday night." She said.

"Nerd." Emily said through a cough.

"I'm going to ignore that." Riley said as she flipped to a clean page in her notebook. "So Dad, suggest a name. Start with your daughter."

"Okay. I like Ruby." He said.

"What ever happened to the names you had for Riley and Jack?" She asked.

"Haley suggested them." Hotch shrugged. "So, Ruby?"

"Nope. Put that on the list." Emily said to Riley.

"If it helps," Riley said as she quickly scribbled the name. "I thought Ruby was fine. But, whatever. Emily?"

"I think this is the best name ever. Zeila." Emily said as she clapped her hands together.

"Zeila?" Hotch asked back. "That's ridiculous! When we talked before, you had such normal names."

"I was still in shock. Now that I've though about it, I want a unique name." Emily said.

"Now that I've thought about it, I want a classic name." Hotch said in an equally stubborn way.

"And I thought you would be one of those couples who had a hard time with names." Riley scoffed as she wrote Zeila on the list. The name battle went on and on. Riley began to think that they were vetoing each other's names out of spite. So far, Emily said no to Ruby, Cassandra, Stella, Roxanne and Harriet. She claimed that the baby needed a special name. She said she hated being called Emily because there were so many Emily's in the world. It annoyed her. As for Hotch, he'd said no to Zeila, Aleara, Elara, Jairyn and Kestyn. Aaron said he loved his name growing up because no one ever mispronounced it, which was always embarrassing for the children.

"How about boys?" Riley asked as she cringed. It was just as bad. Zachary, Kyle, Michael, Harrison and Max were all given the thumbs down by Emily. Corvan, Kenzel, Regan Zander and Braxen were all dismissed by Hotch very quickly.

"Are you being stupid?" Hotch asked Emily when she suggested Braxen.

"No! I think it's cute. Braxen Hotchner." Emily gushed.

"Not going to happen." Hotch said, shaking his head.

"So far," Riley said. "You've each suggested a total of ten names. So far, you've both hated each other's ten names. Off to a great start."

"All of his picks are so plain!" Emily whined.

"She hates our children!" Aaron countered.

"Look," Riley said. "I can see where Emily is coming from. Being an Emily is like being a Sarah. The name may be nice, but there are so many with those names."

"Aaron is a common name too." He said.

"Yes, but it affected her differently than you. I have three Emily's one of my classes." Riley said. "I get it. You want it to be special."

"See!" Emily said.

"But," Riley began again. "My father also makes a valid point. Obscure names can be just as hard to deal with as overly common names. Teachers, friends, co-workers and everyone else will always pronounce it wrong. It can be embarrassing. Raleeza Kips in my dance class had a hard time because no one knew what to call her."

"See!" Aaron said back.

"You need to start thinking about names that are unique, yet won't get the kid beat up. For example, Zachary is a bit common, yet Kenzel will get his ass kicked." Riley laughed.

"Don't say ass." Hotch scolded.

"Right." She agreed.

"She's right I guess." Emily sighed. "But for the record, Kenzel is a cool name."

"Ben!" Jack suggest suddenly.

"You're still on the Ben kick?" Riley asked.

"The Ben kick?" Emily asked.

"He tells everyone that his brother going to be named Ben." Riley said. Emily pondered for a few seconds. It was a common name, sure. But it was cute. Benjamin Hotchner. She liked it. The only issue was how boring it was. She looked over at Hotch, and it was clear that he was mulling over the name too. Emily was willing to bet that he thought it was perfect.

"I like it too." She finally said. "It's just so boring."

"True, but it's declined in popularity recently." Riley said.

"How do you know that?" Hotch asked her.

"I looked on the internet to find some names too." She shrugged.

"Benjamin Hotchner. Ben Hotchner." Emily played with the name. "It's cute."

"It is." Hotch agreed. "I think we might end up going with Ben."

"YES!" Jack yelled as he jumped up from his seat, spilling the popcorn that was resting on his lap everywhere. "I picked the name! I picked the name."

"So Riley," Emily said. "Tell me a girl's name then."

"Why?"

"Your brother likes good names. You must too."

"I have no say." She said with a smirk directed at her father.

"I was just teasing." Aaron said with a smile. "Come on, give us something."

"Well, I kind of liked Vera. It means faith." Riley said.

"Vera. Vera Hotchner." Emily said. "Not bad."

"Not bad at all." Hotch agreed.

"I think we have some names!" Emily squeaked.

"But what about middle names?" Hotch asked. Riley groaned and stormed out of the room, muttering something about family being more annoying than homework.

"Aww! Ben Hotchner!" Garcia squealed the next Monday at work.

"I love it." JJ said excitedly.

"He sounds like a player." Morgan laughed. "I like him already."

"God forbid he's anything Morgan." Rossi cringed. "But I think Ben is adorable.

"Very cute. And it's not one of those names that sounds stupid on an adult." Reid said.

"What do you mean?" Emily asked.

"Think of Spencer. It doesn't sound like a grown up man's name. It sounds like a little man's name." Morgan laughed at the way Reid phrased his statement. "That's not what I meant!"

"Whatever you say little man." Morgan laughed.

"And for a girl," Hotch said, breaking up the teasing session that was coming quickly. "We like Vera."

"That's different." Garcia said. "It's gorgeous."

"I love it too!" JJ said. "Good choices guys."

"Vera. That's adorable. Ben and Vera. It sounds like siblings." Morgan said.

"What, she doesn't sound like a player too?" Emily asked.

"I don't think calling your daughter a slut will go over well." He laughed.

"Oh, Ben's a player and he's an all-star. Vera's a player and she's a slut?" Garcia asked. "Double standards!"

"I like Vera too." Rossi said, stopping the fight before it got farther. In all honesty, he knew Garcia would kick his ass, so he was simply protecting Morgan. "Elegant."

"I agree. They're both great." Reid said.

"Thanks guys." Emily said and she put her hand on her stomach. "We're very happy you approve!"

Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoyed this chapter! Remember to review. Abigail will appreciate it very much.
