章 21: 21 Baby Names

"Yes, thank you, Darling." She smiles at him and sits up. She takes her clothes from him and starts getting dressed. "Let's go to the kitchen and make lunch. I'm feeling kind of hungry after our workout." She stood up slowly.

Leo handed her the clothes and got dressed. "Okay. We've been busy with packing. So let's go and make food."

She leaves the room and walks to the kitchen. She opens the fridge and sees what is in there that she whip into something. She pulls out the ingredients for a salad. "I can whip up a salad. There are some fish fillets in the fridge. Can you cook them up?"

Leo follows her lead and walks behind her. "Yeah, I can. I'll pan fry them with some seasoning and olive oil." Leo opens the fridge and grabs the fish fillets, and starts to season them. On the stove, he starts to heat up a pan with some olive oil. Once the oil and the pan are hot enough, carefully the seasoned fish gets added to the pan. Once they are done, he puts them on the plates that Kitsune had pulled out. "Fish is done."

"Thank you, Leo." She had already finished the salad and had been watching him cook. "Let's eat at the table, then finish packing what is left." She picks up the bowl that the salad is in and carries it to the table.

"No need to thank me." He carries the two plates that have fish on them and some forks, then he puts the plates on the table. He sits down in one of the seats he placed the fish in front of. He hands her a fork.

She takes the fork and sits down in the chair next to him. She serves some of the salad to him and then to herself. She started to eat and enjoys the different flavours on the fish, and the salad paired perfectly with the flavours of the fish. "This turned out fantastic." She smiles at him, and she touches her belly.

Leo starts to eat his food and smiles at her. "We make a good team. I bet we will have our hands full with the little one when it arrives. Do you want a boy or a girl?" He reaches over and touches her belly, and feels the baby moving around.

"It doesn't matter to me. I just want the baby to be healthy. We have yet to pick out a baby name. Do you have any ideas? I think we should decide on this together. We are the parents, and I think it would be fun to see what names we can come up with together. What do you think?"

Leo looks at her and smiles. "Yes, let's do that. If we can narrow the names to three boys' names and three girls' names, that would be great." He eats some of his dinner while thinking of some name ideas.

"That's a fantastic idea!" She beams happiness at him. "There's a boy name I really like, though. What do you think of Leslie? I know you said three names, but Leslie really sticks with me."

"I like the name, Leslie. Let that be the maybe name for a boy." He sits back up and eats some more of his dinner. "How about Alice, Charlette, or Robin for a girl? They're very girly names."

"Charlette. I love it! Let's go with that one for a girl. Leslie and Charlotte are both beautiful names. I think we have made the right choices." She smiles at him and then finishes off the rest of her dinner. She rubs her belly and whispers, "will you be a boy or a girl? We look forward to seeing you soon, little one."
