Disclaimer: I only own the OC's Victorious belongs to Dan, simple as that.
Author Notes: Well this is gonna be the shortest chapter ever, a few may wonder WHY I chose the name Anthony for Jade and Tori's son, the answer is bellow.
Hopefully I can make Tori give a "dorky" answer, let me know if I succeed.
Also, pardon my lack of knowledge on hospital regulations and adoption regulations for that matter, I just wanted to move things along a give a sort of scene that explained why Tori became a bit attached to Anthony when they found him.
Jade and Tori sat in the waiting room of the hospital, waiting for the news, any sort of news concerning the health of the little baby boy they just rescued.
The half-Latina was anxious as far as her wife could see, Tori was moving her leg up and down, up and down, up an down in a never ending cycle.
"Vega, calm down"
Tori was so concerned for the baby's health that she didn't comment on Jade's use of her maiden name, instead she continued to look in the direction of the double green doors.
"Tor"
Her wife still said nothing, she just kept staring blankly ahead.
Jade sighed dejectedly. She knew how Tori was when it came to the wellbeing of their children, only that this baby wasn't theirs to begin with, they only rescued him from the cold, but the former Goth wasn't surprised, her wife had the biggest heart in the world so of course her maternal instincts would kick in.
So that meant it would be a hell of a lot harder to say goodbye to the baby once they turn him over to an orphanage.
"But Tori already named him" Jade thought grimly "I don't think she can just leave him for someone else to raise him... That would kill her"
The Thespian wasn't sure how things would turn out, she had her doubts wether or not this kid was meant for them but she could think of that later, right now they had to make sure that he was in fine health in order to make the next step.
Jade puts her hand in top of her spouse's, this finally catches Tori's attention as she looked at their intertwined hands then at the other woman's blue green eyes.
"Baby... Please relax, stressing over the baby is not going to speed things along"
"His name is Anthony" Tori finally said, in a dry tone, seems she was in need of some water.
"Tor, why did you named him?"
"I told you, if he has no name it's almost as if his parents were giving him a death sentence!"
"That's not what I meant" Jade said seriously "Why did you chose the name Anthony"
The half-Latina's grip on the pale woman's hand became a bit stronger "He reminded me of someone"
"Oh? Who?"
Tori signed "Jade if I tell you, you have to promise me you won't tease me for it"
Her wife raised an eyebrow "Ok, I sense there is a childhood connection here"
The tanned woman nodded "Yeah see when I was a little kid I used to play with Trina and how would our husbands would be in the future... She always wanted a big muscular guy"
Jade snorted "Gibby is far from muscular, he's a big sack of crap"
"Don't make fun of my brother in law'S appearance" Tori said "It's not nice!"
"Fine, fine" She relented "Hey wait a minute you said husband!" The writer's eyes narrowed "You wanted a husband?!"
"First of all Jade I was seven! Tori replied with a roll of her eyes "Second of all it was a made believe game! And third of all I didn't know I was going to grow up to have a preference for my own gender!"
"I wonder if Danielle and Tawny ever played that stupid game" Jade mussed "If so I would have forbidden any princess films in my house!"
"Ok getting off topic here"
"Fine, whatever, go on Tor"
"Thank you" The tanned woman said sarcastically "Anyways, in that game aside from imaginations our ideal..."
Jade's glare stopped her right there.
"... Spouse... We also played with names of our kids... Can you believe she wanted twenty kids?! Ten boys and ten girls"
"That's just wrong in so many levels" Jade said disgustedly "You are going somewhere with this right?"
"Yes... Well at the time I used to play with my Kuddle-Me-Kathy doll pretending it was either my daughter or in some cases... Son"
"Okkkk... And?"
Tori blushed "Well, you see I often used the name Anthony when playing"
"Are you freaking kidding me?" Jade snapped in a mixture of shock/dislike "You named our son after some imaginary make believe princess experiencing motherhood game?!"
"Ummm... Yes?"
The Thespian puts her hand over her face "Of all the reasons this I was not expecting"
Tori nervously stared at her wife until what she said finally kicked in "Wait a minute... Son...Jade are you saying we..."
"Tor, you have to be blind no not to notice how attached you were to him the moment you help him in your arms earlier, sending him to an orphanage was never going to be an option as far as you were concern... I know you... And I know you always wanted a son so of course we are adopting him!"
At that moment Jade caught her breath as Tori launched into her, hugging her as tight as she could "Thank you thank you thank you Jade!"
"Your welcome baby" The Thespian managed to say "Now let me go before you kills me from air deprivation"
"Oh... Sorry"
"Jesus, How are you so fucking strong?!"
Before she could say anything, a nurse holding Anthony went their way, a warm smile on her face, Both women rose from their chair at the same time.
"How is he?" Tori asked concern.
"Well, he is just fine" The nurse replied "Your lucky you came when you did, otherwise who knows what could have happened"
"Can... Can we have him back now?"
The nurse silently gave the baby to Tori's waiting arms, she gently held him, his eyes shut, the only way they knew he was asleep was the soft coos he emitted.
Jade puts her arms around her wife's waist as she puts her head on her coursers to look at their soon to be adopted son.
She could see why Tori had gotten so attached to him in such a short time, Jade would never say it out loud but she too found him adorable.
"Tor... Let's go"
"Where to?"
"First we are going home... I think we need a shower, after that... To make some calls to the adoption agencies, I think we need to start making this little guy an official West, don't you think?"
Tori's heart swelled with joy, it was moments like these that really reminded her why she had fallen in love with Jade West.
"Oh and Vega? It's best we keep the reason of his name to ourselves umm?"
And it was moments like these that made herself question why she bothered to tell her anything.
She then looked at the baby boy in her arms.
"My boy... Anthony"
Did I succeed? You gotta admit naming a kid after a game is pretty darkish no?
This idea was born from the news I heard the other day about a couple who wanted to name their son "Superman" but thank god they didn't allow it, no joke, true shit.
There are some real hard core fans out there.
Anyways, your thoughts?
