Janelle woke up with a groan as she felt her baby pressing directly on her bladder. Sitting up in the bed she let out a shocked gasp when Josh let out a snore from his spot on the bed. She hadn't even heard him come in. Groaning again, she waddled into the bathroom, letting out a sigh of relief as she relieved herself. After washing her hands, she checked her phone for the time. 6:30 am. Sighing, she made her way to the kitchen to make Xavi's lunch for school.
"You wake up way too early" She said in greeting to her dad, who was sitting at the island with a cup of coffee, reading the news from his IPAD.
"I already packed Xavi's lunch." He said when she went to open the fridge. When she turned to him and arched her eyebrow he added. "He said he likes my sandwiches better." She laughed and grabbed something to drink instead. "My grandbaby got you up?" She nodded as she finished off her juice.
"Yes," She groaned as the baby moved again and was now pressing even harder on her bladder. "He loves to kick my bladder."
"Did y'all come up with a name yet? Got less than a week til he gets here."
"I know." She said grunting as the baby landed another hard kick. "I'm having a hard time choosing and Josh." She stopped and shook her head with a chuckle. "He wants to name the baby Jeyson." Her dad arched an eyebrow.
"What's wrong with that?"
"J-E-Y-S-O-N, Like Jey's son. His wrestling name." Her dad threw his head back and laughed.
"I like Jason though, the normal spelling." She nodded her head in agreement.
"Yeah, but I don't want Xavi to feel left out, you know? With me, Josh and the baby all having J names."
"Ask Xavi for a name suggestion then."
"Already did, and I'm not naming my son Bluey." Her dad laughed again.
"Yeah, if those the only options, I'm leaning more towards Jeyson." Her dad said and she rolled her eyes with a smile.
"Me too." She laughed before standing up and stretching. "I gotta go wake Xavi up for school." Before she could leave the kitchen, she felt a warm sensation down her legs. She turned to look at her dad, embarrassed because she thought she had peed on herself.
"Did your water just break?" He asked, staring at her wide-eyed. She gasped and stared back at him.
"Oh shit." Her dad jumped up immediately and started yelling for Josh. Her dad helped her to the car before running as fast as he could up the steps to wake Josh up.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Everything happened so fast, one minute she was standing in her kitchen then the next she was laying in a hospital holding her newly born son.
"He looks just like you." Josh whispered as watched in awe as his son gripped his fingers.
"What should we name him?" Janelle asked, wiping the tears from her eyes. She couldn't take her eyes off of her baby. He was literally a perfect mixture of both her and Joshua.
"I'm still rockin' with Jeyson." He said, laughing softly when she gave him a side eye. "Or we could name him Bluey. Those are the only choices we have." Janelle laughed softly, so she wouldn't wake the baby up.
"I never knew naming a child would be this hard."
"Knock-knock" They both looked towards the door when it opened and Josh's mom poked her head through. "I got someone who's very excited to meet his baby brother." She said and laughed when Xavier squeezed through the spaced between her and the door to get into the room.
"Is that him?" He asked. "He's so tiny." Xavier frowned his face up, making everyone laugh.
"Yeah, he's just a baby bud." Janelle told him. "You wanna hold him?" When Xavier nodded, Josh took him over to the sink to wash his hands before helping him sit next to Janelle on the hospital bed. "Ok, just make sure you hold his head ok?" She asked and placed the baby in Xavier's arms.
"Hi baby. I'm your big brother." Janelle 'awed' as she watched Xavier place a kiss on his little brother's head.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"Jeyson Edward Fatu."
Janelle shook her head and Josh sighed. "Nope, I don't like it. It flows but no." Xavier and his mom had just left and she and Josh were still trying to find a name that fit their baby boy. "I've always liked the name Malachi."
"Malachi." Josh said the name to see how it sounded and he liked it. "Ok I like Malachi. What about a middle name?" When she shrugged he added. "What about your dad's name?"
"Malachi Nathaniel?" Josh nodded
"Yeah I like it. Xavi has my name as a middle and Malachi can have your dad's."
"Okay." Janelle said, looking down at her baby boy who was bundled up in her arms. "Hello Mr. Malachi Nathaniel Fatu."
"He's gonna cry. You know that right?"
Janelle nodded. "Yeah, male sure you have your camera ready
-----------------------------------------------------------------
About 2 hours later, Janelle's dad walked into the room carrying a balloon that said 'it's a boy.' a stuffed elephant and a bouquet of sunflowers.
"Look its grandpa'" Nathaniel immediately set the stuff in his hands down and went to wash his hand.
"Oh!" He cooed as he picked Malachi up from the bassinet. "He looks just like you did Nelly. Did y'all pick a name yet?" He asked, then frowned when Josh started recording him.
"Yeah, we did." Janelle said, bringing his attention back over to her. "Meet Malachi Nathaniel Fatu."
"Shut the fuck up." He said, his eyes already welling up with tears. Janelle laughed. "You gave him my name." He set Malachi back down before giving Janelle a tight hug, his body shaking as he cried into her shoulder. "Thank you."
