"How about Amelia?"
Ben suggested to his wife.
In the middle of Thursday, the two of them are with their family in the living room, after a great lunch made by Mrs. Potts.
"Really?"
Mal didn't hide his thoughtful expression. She couldn't imagine her daughter having this name.
"It sounds like a lady's name."
Carlos said as he ate one of the snacks on the table.
"Give your suggestions then."
Ben declared.
"I like Belle."
Adam said.
"No, names are unique, and she doesn't have to grow up in the shadow of someone else's name."
Belle said, startling everyone by the tone of her voice.
"How did you decide on Ben's name, Belle?"
Mal asks as she snuggles closer into her husband's embrace.
"Well, I wanted a name with an important meaning, and as soon as I read Benjamin I knew it couldn't be any other."
"We'll have to think it over." Ben said and kissed his wife on the shoulder. "Her name has to be unique and have an important meaning."
"Well, it's a good thing we've run out of strange names."
Mal remembered her own name, which was too much for her.
"And apparently we're going back to the baby book too."
Doug kissed Evie's hand, surprising them. Suddenly everyone, except for Mal and Carlos who already knew, went to hug the Evil Queen's daughter and her husband.
"Jay and Carlos, looks like you're the only ones left."
Ben warned them.
"I'll pass." Jay said, earning a look from Loonie. "What? We moved in together not even two years ago."
"Nothing, if you're saying it, who am I to disagree?"
Loonie said, and Jay knew he had displeased her.
"Okay, back to the future princess." Ben turned his attention to him and Mal before he could start a couples' fight. "How about Rose?"
"Do you want to name our daughter after your ex-girlfriend's family?"
Mal glared at him, while the others laughed.
(...)
"You should stop being so difficult."
Mal said to Jay.
The two of them were walking in the palace garden. The son Jafar had been promoted by the king to position of queen's number one protector while he was at work.
"What?"
Jay asked without knowing what she was talking about.
Mal had to walk and Jay was forcing her to do so, even if he had to practically carry her.
"Did you have to talk to Loonie like that?"
"That?"
"Yeah, that. Shall we sit down for a while?"
She asked, already tired and quickly sitting down in the nearest chair.
"You and Ben took almost ten years, why should I go quickly?"
