Okay, so this chapter isn't very long, but I think it's incredibly cute! Let me know what you think, and if you have an idea about what you think I should name the kid or kids, let me know! :)
Chapter Forty Five
Time Jump – Four Months Later
Jacqueline POV:
Today was a big day. Tucker and I were going to find out what we were having, and if there was a possibility that I was having multiples. I was rather large for being 6 months pregnant, but ever appointment the doctor has been having a hard time determining if there were actually two. I think I was more nervous about having two babies than I was with Patrick naming one of them, although that was pretty nerve wracking as well. I don't want my poor baby to have a weird name all because Pat and I have to bet on everything.
"Jacqueline Lawson?" I heard and I stood up. Tucker grabbed my hand and we followed the nurse. We got into the room and I took a seat on the table. "The doctor will be in shortly." She said and than she left. Tucker and I sat there quietly and waited for the doctor to come in.
"Good morning Tucker, Jacqueline. How are you two doing today?" The doctor asked as she walked into the room.
"Tired, but good." I responded.
"Very well. Let's see if we can determine once and for all if you're having twins or not." She said and I nodded. I lifted up my shirt and she applied the gel. Tucker was still holding onto my hand, and I tried to calm myself down, but it was working. "Well, it looks like you two are having…."
Patrick POV:
I was sitting in my parents living room making my list of baby names when PJ came running up to me. I scooped him up into my arms, and continued with my brainstorming list. I was excited to being getting a niece or nephew, and I knew PJ was excited about getting a cousin, and although I was going to have fun naming one of her children, I was just more excited to see Jack in the mom role. I knew she was going to be amazing because of how well she was with PJ, but seeing her with her own children was going to be pretty cool.
"What are my two favorite boys doing?" Sammi said as she sat down next to me on the couch.
"I'm getting my baby name list ready for when Jack gets home." I said and she laughed.
"You could be wrong babe." She said and I smiled.
"I'm not wrong about this. Call it a twin thing, but I can tell there are two babies in there. Two baby girls." I said.
"You o realize Jack is a twin as well. And she doesn't have this same twin vibe as you're getting." Sammi said.
"She's just stressed about actually having the baby. I'm telling you, she's have two twin girls." I said.
"I guess we'll just have to wait and see." Sammi said and I nodded. "How many names do you have so far?"
"I have about 10." I said.
"You're naming one baby Pat, you don't need that many names." She said and I laughed.
"I want to have options, and who knows how many they will veto." I said. I looked back at my list and was pretty pleased with the names that I selected. It gave them a wide variety, and I think that's a good thing to have. Before I knew it the front door was opening and in walked Tucker and Jack. "So, how right was I?"
"You're losing streak is over." Jack said.
"Yes!" I shouted and I picked PJ up off my lap and made my way over to Jack. "It was bound to happen eventually Jack."
"I know." She said. "I guess I should have taken that into consideration when agreeing you to name one of my children."
"I have a good variety of names. I think you'll be pleased." I said and she laughed. "Come on, let's discuss." I said and we made our way over to the living room. Tucker and Jack took a seat on one couch, and sat back down next to Sammi.
"Okay, name number one." Jack said.
"Bella." I said.
"It's cute, but I don't think it's right for one of my babies." Jack said and I crossed it off.
"Fair enough. Okay, second choice, Alanna." I said.
"It's pretty. I like it." Tucker said and I put a check next to it.
"Sweet. Okay, third name, Brooklyn." I said.
"Pretty." Jack said and I put another check mark down.
"This is going well." I said and everyone laughed. "Okay, fourth name, Winnifred."
"Oh my god no." Jack said and I couldn't help but laugh.
"Okay, I'll cross it out." I said.
"What possessed you to pick that name?" Tucker asked.
"I just thought it was different." I said. "Fifth name, Rosalind."
"Oh, that's really pretty." Jack said and I put another check next to it.
"Nice, alright, sixth name, Fallon." I said.
"No." Tucker and Jack said together and I couldn't help but laugh.
"Seventh name, Veronica." I said.
"No Patrick." Jack said and I immediately crossed it off. "How many names do you have?"
"10." I said and she nodded. "Okay, eighth name, Jane."
"I like it." Tucker said. "It's simple, but pretty." He said and I put a check mark next to it.
"Ninth name, Gwendolyn." I said.
"No Patrick." Jack said and I crossed it off.
"I didn't expect you to like them all, I just thought I'd give you variety." I said and Jack and Tucker nodded. "Okay, tenth, and final name, Carmen."
"Cute." Jack said and I out a check mark next to it.
"Well, I have 5 names to work on, so we will see what I choose when they are born." I said.
"Patrick, I want to name one of the girls after mom, and the other after Karina, so keep that in mind." Jack said and I wrote down Clarissa and Karina at the top of the paper.
"Duly noted." I said. "Now comes the fun part. Actually naming your child." I said and Jack just shook her head. "Have you two been discussing names for the other one?"
"We were throwing ideas around in the car on the way here." Tucker said. "Nothing is concrete yet, but we have some ideas."
"Can I hear them?" I asked.
"Sure, we like the name Laura, and Nora, which I think is funny since they rhyme." Tucker said and I laughed. "We also like the name Kimberly, and Michelle."
"They aren't half bad." I said and Tucker laughed.
"I'm glad you approve of the names we might name our kids." Jack said.
"Well, now I have something to go off of when I'm naming the other one!" I said and Jack just shook her head and laughed.
"Well, I don't know about you, but I'm going home and taking a nap. I'm exhausted. These two don't seem to want me to sleep." Jack said and I smiled. "I like the names Pat, it really takes some stress off of me knowing one of my babies will have a nice name."
"I would never name your child something so incredibly ridiculous." I said and she smiled. "I love messing with you, but not my niece."
"Love you Pat." Jack said and I stood up and hugged her.
"I love you too sis." I said and Tucker and her left. A couple minutes after they were gone my mom and dad came walking in.
"Did I just see Tucker and Jacqueline leave?" My mom asked.
"Yup. She was tired, so she's going to take a nap." I explained.
"What the verdict?" My dad asked.
"My losing streak is over!" I said and everyone laughed.
"My poor grandbaby." My mom said and I laughed.
"We talked names, and I have 5 that the approve of, so she will have a cute name." I said and they laughed. "I think we're going to head home too." I said as I stood up.
"Of course. See you at the rink tomorrow?" Mom asked and I nodded and kissed her cheek.
"Of course." I said and she smiled. "See you later." I said and than PJ, Sammi and I started walking back to our house. PJ was running in front of us, and I was holding onto Sammi's hand.
"Do you want more kids?" Sammi asked out of nowhere, and it took me by surprise, but I always figured this would come up.
"Of course I do." I said and I saw her nod. "But I think we should do the whole marriage thing first." I said and she looked up at me.
"That better not be your proposal." She said and I laughed.
"Don't worry, I've had that planned for years." I said and I heard her laugh. A lot of things were happening to this family this year, and I couldn't wait to witness them all.
