cooking

i was watching criminal minds, when i realized i haven't ate dinner yet. i thought about what i wanted and i came to the conclusion of penne alla vodka. my dad taught me his recipe so i just followed that. also my baby bump hasn't really shown even though the due date is in november. so then i got up and walked to the kitchen. but right when i was about to put the water on the stove, i got a call. it was harry. "hey harry, what's up?" i asked. "not much. it's the time for our weekly talk. how are you?" he replied. "i'm doing okay. give me a second let me put you on speaker." i said. "okay, what are you doing right now?" he questioned. "uh, making penne alla vodka." i replied. "okay give me step by step." harry demanded. "okay, when i already started boiling the water so now i'm heating oil in a separate pot. now i'm adding onion + prosciutto." i said. "okay while you do that, what are the names your thinking about?" harry asked. "okay this week i'm between june, spencer, tatum, eden, reese, libby, poppy, + halston." i said, sauteing. "okay okay, i like all of these." harry stated. "okay but them from last to first." i offered, adding garlic +  red pepper flakes and continued sauteing. "mk, lastly, i'm going to go with june." harry stated. "really? why?" i questioned, adding tomatoes + vodka. "i just don't get the reasoning for it." harry pointed out. "well i was born in june." i stated. "yeah, but that could easily be on the middle name list." harry stated. "true." i replied, cooking the pasta. "okay my second least favorite i'm going to go with tatum." harry said. "okay, give your reasoning." i said, mixing cream, herbs, and parmesan into the sauce. "personally i think it would be better for a boy's name." harry pointed out. "okay. so you like it but for a boy?" i questioned, draining the pasta + putting it into a bowl. "exactly. next we have halston." harry said. "reasoning?" i asked, putting the sauce on top of the pasta. "i like it, i just don't love it." harry stated. "okay, okay." i replied, adding more parmesan and garnishing it with more basil. "all done!" i exclaimed, sitting down at my kitchen counter. "perfect. now for fifth place, i'm going to have to put poppy." harry stated. "really?" i asked. "don't get me wrong, i love this name. i just think the baby will get made fun of because you know." harry pointed out. "okay." i said, taking a bite of my pasta. "now for spot four, spencer. i think similar to tatum, it's better for a boy." harry stated. "kk." i replied. "okay now for the top three. okay in third place, eden. i love this name, but just not my top choice. second place, reese. for first place...... libby!" harry exclaimed. "really why?" i questioned. "well i know your mom's middle name was elizabeth, + libby is a nickname for it, so i just though it had a good meaning." harry replied. "i didn't even think about that. i think that's the final name. libby." i stated. "it's perfect." harry said. then someone knocked on my door. "okay harry someone's here, i got to go." i stated. "okay bye, love you." harry said. "love you too." i said, hanging up. i went to the door, opened it, + it was nate
