Romeo and Indi decided to take Sid up on his offer of the apartment in the city. When Indi was 7 months into her pregnancy, they both packed up their belongings and drove into the city with Sid following to help them settle in. Romeo had gotten accepted onto a business apprenticeship and would be earning while learning. After everything was in the right place in their apartment, Romeo and Indi finally settled on the sofa to watch a movie. Indi was laying down with her head resting on Romeo's lap and her hands resting on her bump. "I'm so glad we're finally away." Romeo said as he brushed his hand over his hair.
"So am I. It'll be nice to be able to start our family somewhere new without people interfering."
"I can't wait."
"Neither can I." Indi smiled as she lightly rubbed her knuckles against Romeo's chin.
"We should start thinking of names.."
"Mmm, we should. Can you get my phone please?"
"Sure, where is it?"
Indi got up off Romeo and told him it was on their bed.
Romeo came back with it and handed it too her. They had decided to wait until the baby was born to find out its gender. "I downloaded the Baby names app onto my phone during the drive up here.."
"Let's see it."
"So, say we have a boy.." Indi leaned into Romeo as he watched her using the app. "We can chose the origin, popularity and meaning, then find a whole load of names."
"Cool. But let's leave that for one second. Tell me what boy name you want. Then we can look up the origin and meaning and stuff." Romeo replied.
"Well I like the name Gabriel.."
"I like that name too."
"What names do you like though?" Indi asked.
"Well I like Aiden."
"Gabriel Aiden Smith.. Gabriel Aiden Smith. I like the sound of that Romeo."
"You do?"
"Of course!"
"I guess we've got our baby boy's name!"
"Uh-huh!"
Romeo and Indi spent the duration of the film they were watching dicussing baby girl names."Jessica?" "Grace?" "Brianna? and many other names were thrown back and forth.
The next morning Indi woke early and looked around, confused as to why they were at her mum's apartment and then the relaisation hit her, this was their apartment. She lay back down with a smile on her face and watched Romeo and he slept admiring the perfection of his whole self. They got a call off Sid a few hours later making sure they were okay and were having no trouble with things such as the shower and cooker. Indi had just finished cooking breakfast when she saw Romeo rush into the shower-room. "Romeo?" Indi asked as she went to open the door. "I have to get to work in half an hour!"
"What? I thought you didn't start until tomorrow?"
"So did I." Romeo answered as he jumped in.
"Your breakfast is on the stove."
"Thanks."
Romeo came back home late that night but Indi stayed up so she could hear all about his first day. Although he was late, his boss was understanding and Romeo loved everything that he had done and was looking forward to the days to come.
Just as Romeo was leaving for work the next morning, Sasha turned up in tears.
"Sash! What's wrong?" Indi ran to the door and embraced her sister.
"Should I stay?" Romeo asked as he looked on worrying.
"No, it's ok. See you later." Indi replied. "Hey Sash, tell me what's happened?" Indi took her to the sofa and sat down with her.
"Dad's such an idiot!"
"Why, what's happened?"
"He hit Casey because he saw me kissing him on the beach. What the hell is wrong with him Indi?"
"Aww Sash, he's just protective over you. He's a River Boy in dad's eyes - no matter how kind he is in reality.."
"That sucks!"
"I know.. let me get you a drink."
