"BABY'S NAME !!". We said at the same time while pointing at each other. We were on a video call earlier with my mother in law , Patricia. She was , like most in laws do when facing with the news that she's going to a be a grandmother soon checking on my condition while giving some tips about parenting and how to handle a baby. Though it was all sum up to the point where it will came naturally according to my instinct as a mother. But still , it so nice of her for giving me such concern.

Then there were come the topic where she asked us whether we already prepare a name for our baby. Which in fact we haven't decided yet. "How come we forgot about it ?!".Rosalind said in desperate pacing back and forth in front of our bed.

"Well , we've been busy preparing for our move.". I said sighing then lay down on the bed. I got easily tired nowadays , not that i have done so much work regarding our move. All the hardwork have been done by Rosalind and the guys from the moving company. I was just helping with some little things such as our clothes and others. This pregnancy really done me so much fatigue. I feel guilty not to be able to help her more.

"This is our first child Ophelia ! It have to be special !". Rosalind said , as if there will be more coming from my womb in the future. Not that i mind about it but just one is enough for awhile longer.

"Just calm down Rosalind. We still have four months to go , we still have plenty of time.". She didn't listen to me though , she keeps frowning while trying to think about a good name for our baby.

"Since we haven't know about our baby's gender. What about a gender neutral name , such as Alex !". I rolled my eyes , seriously she said she wanted it to be special yet she only come up with something like ..Alex. "No no , it's too common. I'm sorry.".Glad i don't have to point that out to her directly.

"What about...".What's coming from her again now." We call our baby , baby girl or baby boy until they old enough to decide their own name. Like those liberal parents do !"

I sighed again while rubbing my stomach , please don't be like your other mother when you grow up. I said jokingly to my baby inside. "That will work if we live in the forest , far away from society Rosalind. We will have so much trouble for the bureaucracy , especially if they're going to school."

She sighed finally gave up i assumed , then plop her body beside me. A smile suddenly crept on her lips , which make me curious."Why ?"

She turned to lay on her side facing me , while one of her hand supporting her head and the other rubbing onto my stomach. "No. I was just imagining about both of us sending our child to school together in the future. It'll look so sweet.". I couldn't help but smile too thinking about it. Well we still have a long way to go for it though."What about city name ?.".Here it comes again. "Like Sydney , Paris , London...like London Tipton ? . Tokyo ?"

I growled , it's getting more and more ridiculous coming up from Rosalind. "You seriously want to name your baby Tokyo ?". She giggled then getting up from the bed.

"Sorry , i'm just really confuse like i said , i want it to be special.".She then checking out her self from the mirror. "Do you think i'm fat now ?"

"Is that sarcasm for me ?". Saying fat near a pregnant woman is a death sentence.

"No no ! I was just talking about my self. Geeez you're getting more and more sensitive nowadays".Rosalind said nervously , well blame the hormone. "See ?".She then tap on her own stomach. "My abs has gone now , you feed me so much.". When i look at it more, it's true Rosalind look a little bit fatter than the first time we met again . Glad that the pregnancy doesn't only affect me , but her too.

"You look fine , you still be able to change it back with a few work out ! Look at me !".I said stretching my hands widely. "My body wouldn't look the same anymore , even after i give birth.". Rosalind smiled getting back to the bed then goes to hug me now.
