Done in reader's POV. This is a short one --------------------------------------------
"Babe, I'm telling you...Lando Jr is perfect."
"...Lan....no. I'm not naming our son after you, sorry not sorry. This isn't about to be a Carlos and his dad scenario" I laughed as Lando scoffed at me. I really wasn't the biggest fan of naming a child after their dad. I knew in certain cultures it was a tradition, but me and Lando weren't like that. Part of me hoped he was joking, but with him sometimes it's hard to tell when he's being silly and serious.
After a long day of running errands around town, we finally had some time to ourselves. Lando and I had been going back and forth on baby names and couldn't come to an agreement. We wanted to stick to our British roots when it came to a name. We had to pick a first name and a middle name.
We were cozied up on our couch, me leaning against his chest. We were doing some research so we can finally agree on what we would name our son, who was due in two months time. My stomach had finally popped and I was feeling huge. I couldn't travel to races anymore, so I cherished Lando being home for the week to spend some much needed quality time together.
It sucked not being able to be with Lando all the time, but he came home whenever he could inbetween races, even when the travel logistics were difficult. I constantly told him he didn't have to worry about me, but there was no convincing my boyfriend, he was stubborn when it came to being protective of me.
He ran his fingers through my hair and it felt amazing. He started massaging my scalp and I felt completely relaxed in his arms. "Okay what about Landon?"
"Lan, I think you're obsessed with naming our baby with an L because of yourself. Plus Landon is your name with just another letter at the end of it" I giggled. He smiled back at me, not even denying it.
Part of me secretly wished we were having a girl because when we first found out I was pregnant, we both had fallen in love with the name Amelia. We wouldn't be this stressed out over names if it was a girl. But I couldn't be over the moon to have a mini Lando running around the house in a few months time. I prayed he took after his father, the man I fell in love with. The only thing I hoped for was that he liked fish...or even things that are near a fish. I loved sushi but was never able to eat it around Lando without him making a dramatic scene.
"Okay how about this. We each make a list of our top 5 names. We each get to veto 3 times" I suggested. Lando seemed to like that idea. He gently get off the couch, grabbing a piece of paper and pens for each of us.
We spent the next 15 minutes in silence, ranking our top names. Lando was giggling as he wrote down his names. I had been wanting to honor my dad Archie somehow in our baby's name, but didn't love that as a first name. I knew Lando had felt the same about his dad, Adam. Finally we put our pens down and looked at what the other wrote.

We went through the list and vetoed everything but Lucas, Henry and Jonathan. We both agreed that we loved the idea of both of our father's names for a middle name. I was starting to get frustrated because we truly couldn't agree on a name.
Lando could sense my hormonal frustration and tried to soothe me. "Baby, don't worry how about you pick the name and I get to choose our next babies first name."
I was taken out of my self wallowing when he said next baby. "You...you want more babies with me?"
I knew this baby wasn't planned, but we both had agreed after 3 years together we would be ready for the next step. It didn't matter to me that we weren't married, we loved each other. So hearing Lando already thinking about our future and more kids made my heart swell.
"Oh course, you're the love of my life. I want as many babies with you that you're willing to have with me. If it was up to me, we'd birth a whole football team and make them win the Premier League."
If I was emotional before, I was now. I pressed a soft kiss on his lips and felt him smile against me. I took another look at the list. I was being unreasonable with him and I knew it. I low-key loved all the names suggested, I just didn't want him to know it. I looked at Henry, assuming it was his favorite since it was the first one on the list. Henry Norris, I loved the sound of that.
I grabbed a new piece of paper and wrote out the full name for our baby boy. I teared up again at the thought of holding our baby in a few months.
