"Geronimo!" Marr announced, while he jumped over the couch and laid on the TV remote. "Ow, what am I sitting on?" he pulled the TV remote from behind him. "Oh, that thing."

I laughed at him, and Robert and Fawn walked into the living room. "Well, Marr beat us in here."

Marr looked up at them. "Listen here. We came to keep Stanley company. It doesn't matter who beat who in here since we all know I ran in here first."  Fawn rolled her eyes at him while she and Robert took a seat.

"So, how you been feeling?" Robert asked, going straight to the point.  "Sore, sick, and missing Everest terrible," I replied, rubbing my bump slightly. There wasn't no bump there yet, but still, I felt the need to feel around the area since there was a human being inside of me.  It terrified me but also amazed me at the same time.  Of course, Robert would be wanting to know how his little niece or nephew was treating me.

"When my mom was pregnant with Melody, she was sick for months." Fawn informed her, "Some women have morning sickness throughout their pregnancy."

I threw my head back. "Please, don't jinxe me, Fawn."

Marr sat up. "When my mom was pregnant with me, she didn't even know until I was there in between her legs on hers and my dad's bed." We all looked at him.

"What? It's true. She didn't know she was pregnant with me until I was born. The viscera drenched the sheets so bad, my mom had to get a whole new bed." I got up from where I was sitting and ran to the bathroom to throw up.

I forgot to tell Marr I get sick when people around me speak of any type of childbirth since I still don't know if my stomach can handle it right now. 

The last thing I heard was Fawn saying to Marr.

"You seriously have no filter!"

"Well, that's what happened, and then they named me

"Well, that's what happened, and then they named me..." Marr replied, "Named me......Marr Smith."

Robert and I looked at one another. "What was with the awkward stutters?"  Marr scratched the back of his neck. 

"Well, you see. Marr isn't my real name....It's a nickname." Marr confessed.

Robert and I looked at each other, then at Marr. "Then what is your real name?"

"I'll tell you guys my real name when Stanley has the baby. Sounds good?"

I nodded. "You always told me your real name was Marr," Robert replied.

Marr put his hands up. "My name is Romanian, okay? I thought my nickname could be something easy to remember, so Marr it was and is."

"So, your parents named you Romanian?" Robert asked.

"No, it's a Romanian name!" Marr snapped, "But you guys will not, I repeat, will not know until Stanley and Everest's child is born."

I put a hand to my face.

Goddamit,Marr
