Random Fact Time!

Before Power Rangers: Samurai, Brittany Anne Pirtle (Emily) played a role as a background cheerleader in Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel and Bring It On: Fight to the Finish.

Mia stared at her alarm clock which read: 12:00AM. It's official. She's seven months pregnant. Her heart raced. She shifted her head to look at Kevin who was sleeping. Slowly, she lifted her shaky hand and rested it on his hand. The wind samurai sighed. Kevin has only been asleep for two hours. He needs to go to work at eight o'clock. She hasn't slept at all and doesn't have a job anymore. She planned on quitting her job at the daycare anyways to finish culinary school so it wasn't a big deal for now (she would eventually have to get another job). And speaking of culinary school, the semester ended. So Mia has nothing to do except get a couple more baby supplies, maybe read her pregnancy and baby books a little more, and that was it.

Mia read the alarm clock again: 12:30AM. She squeezed Kevin hand. "Kevin, are you awake?" She shook him slightly. "Baby, wake up. Please?"

Kevin rolled over and shooed Mia's hand. "Do I need to call 119?" He grumbled.

"No… and you would call 911 not 119." Mia shook him again a little harder. "Wake up, it's important."

"Is it so important that it can't wait until morning?"

"Yes and it is morning. It's 12:31 to be exact." She got no reply from Kevin. All she got was a heavy snore. Mia kicked him as hard as she could. "Don't make me go Emily on you."

"Ow! You know, for a dying pregnant woman, you can kick really hard." Kevin glared at Mia. Mia looked hurt. He instantly regretted it and softened his expression once he realized what he just called her. "I'm sorry, you're not dy…"

"Its fine, I know you're just cranky from being pulled from your sleep." Mia told him. "But seriously, do you know what day it is now?"

"It's April thirteenth. Why do you ask?"

"I'm thirty weeks pregnant!"

"Explain…"

"I'm seven months pregnant, Kevin." Mia looked into his brown eyes. "Remember the story Ji told us about that samurai?"

"She lived…"

"So? Still, she almost died. Imagine that happening to me. The word terrified doesn't even match up to how scared I am anymore. I might as well make up a word to describe how I'm feeling."

"Why did you wake me up?" Kevin chuckled. He could understand his wife being scared. He would be scared too if he was in her shoes. But, really, she could talk to him whenever she wanted to and he would listen…except for midnight. He's tired and needs his beauty sleep.

"She needs a name. I would at least want to name our baby with you before it's too late."

"We can name her in the morning, honey."

"No! And for the last time, it is morning." Mia pouted. "I want to name her now. I'm bored and I can't sleep."

"I have to get up for work in a couple of hours. My swim team is a bunch of teens 14-17 years old. Do you know how needy and annoying they are? They all talk back and complain. And don't even get me started on the mixed gender classes."

"Can't you just have personal day off work? I'm sure they will understand. You said that your assistant is better at handling those kids than you sometimes. Besides, teenage girls are suckers when they see a grown gentleman taking care of his wife."

"I missed so many days last month."

"Please? Pretty please with a cherry on top?"

"I don't like cherries."

"Kevin!"

"Okay, okay, geez. But I'm not taking off anymore days this month. If things get bad then I will take you to Jayden or Ji's place. I need to work to pay the bills and pay for more baby stuff. Understood?"

"Yes, sweetie, I understand."

Kevin got out of bed and turned on the bedroom light. He left the room and went into the kitchen. Once he got there, he got the baby names book, his notebook with the list of potential names, and grabbed two bottles of water for him and Mia. The water samurai walked back to his bedroom that he shared with Mia and sat down on their bed.

Kevin put the items that he was carrying in the middle of the bed and looked at Mia. "The things I do for love."

"You're doing a good thing." Mia smiled. She picked up the naming book. "Let's begin… Alicia?"

"We already wrote that one on the list." Kevin yawned.

"Oh, Nina?"

"No, it's too simple for me."

"I have been thinking that same thing lately." Mia placed the book back on the bed. "I want her to have a special name with meaning to it, maybe unique. We should try coming up with our own names."

"Like how Terry gave his name a girl ending to make Terryonna?"

"Yeah, like that. How about… Kevinisha?"

"Eh." Kevin shrugged. As much as he loved his name, the name Mia suggested just didn't have a "ring" in it that he's looking for. He took a long drink from his water bottle and screwed back on the cap. Naturally, he read the labeling on the bottle while screwing the cap back on. Usually, the labeling never meant much to him but this time, they gave him an idea. "We should name her after our elements. She is the first mixed elements samurai kid in a long time."

"That's a great idea." Mia said. "How exactly do we name her after our elements without making it sound cheesy? I don't think Winderena is such a hot name."

Kevin didn't say anything. That's a good point Mia brought up. He read the name of the water brand on his bottle and smirked. "Aqua isn't bad name. Not to me, I guess. We can just use synonyms for our element.

"Aqua? Aw, that's cute. We should add something to it though."

"Um, Aquanetta? We can call her Aqua for short."

"Perfect!" Mia exclaimed. She looked out the window and watched the cool night breeze move the tree leaves. "Wow, it sure is breezy outside. No wait… Breezy! That's it! We can name her Breezy! We can call her Bre for short." Kevin tilted his head. "What? Is it strange? We can spell it differently like B-r-e-e-z-i-e instead of using a y."

"I actually like it. It's catchy. It's just, now we have a problem."

"What could be the problem? We both came up with elemental names that we both like."

"Yeah, but whose name gets to be the first name? And what about middle name?"

"Well, for middle name, I was thinking about using Terryonna if that's okay with you."

"Terry will be pleased." Kevin nodded. "I want to use both of the names we made up. How does Aquanetta Breezie Terryonna De-Tiege sound to you?"

"Why use Aquanetta first? I think Breezie Aquanetta Terryonna De-Tiege sounds better." Mia defended her name.

"See? That's our problem."

"Maybe we can put our names together like Breezetta?"

"No, maybe Aqu… Aqua… I don't even know how to put Aqua in front of Breeze."

"Aqueeze." Mia giggled. She leaned into her pillow and yawned. She read the clock for the last time: 1:45AM. "Thanks for staying up with me. I know you really didn't want to be up at a time like this but you helped me relax." She stretched her arms. "I'm tired now."

"It was worth it. We're inches closer to naming our daughter." Kevin grinned. He cleared the bed, tucked in Mia, turned off the bedroom light, and fell back asleep as soon as his head touched the pillow.

Yes, Aquanetta is the name of Kiely Williams' character on The Cheetah Girls' movies :P
