Caleo

Pregnant AU

Name Bickering

They had nine months to think of a name for the new addition to their family. Nine months to judge, criticize, eliminate and select names that could fit into the great icon they knew their son would become. Nine months.

All wasted of course by the continuous bickering of the couple on whether they should name the kid after Superman or Batman, which of course was pitifully wasteful. It would be even hard to believe that they wasted a full nine months for that silly argument... that lasted almost as long as a whole school year.

Even while Leo held the to-be mother's hand tightly for support in the delivery room, they still continued in their 'heated' argument.

"Okay, this is our last chance. Let's name him after Superman. Like Supes or something. C'mon.", Leo pleaded the delivering woman.

After her probably millionth 'Scream of Pain', as Leo would've called it, she had a glare that could rival Batman's and replied with a tone of sure annoyance in her voice, "I tell you for the gazillionth time that NO. Superman may be the world's most idolized, most popular, most powerful and most loved hero of all time, but he CAN'T match up to the hero who fights crime under the cover of shadows. So, NO!"

Leo smiled. No wonder she likes Batman. They have the same glare. Cute.

"You're just saying that because you recently watched that new Batman movie. If I had let you watch a Superman one, you'd surely choose him.", Leo scratched the back of his head and suddenly grimaced after feeling a very tight squeeze from Calypso. He didn't know if it came from the pain in having childbirth or she really just wanted to hurt him after what he said. What he did know is that he would be the next guy on a hospital bed. That sure did break some precious bones.

"I'm naming him Wayne.", Calypso shot.

"And I'm naming him Kent.", Leo shot back.

Then they both grumbled.

Calypso screamed with pain again. It did hurt Leo to see his woman in pain, but it kind of pleasured him too. Her sweat-beaded face looked really sexy.

"Leo, you damn bastard. You did this to me.", she pointed an accusing finger to him.

"Wow, says the woman who initiated it that night. And, are you even allowed to say such words, Princess?"

Then another scream. But this time, it felt longer. Different from the others. He's here.

"Just hold on, Princess. You're almost there. A little more.", Leo encouraged.

"I know!", she shouted in the middle of screams.

Then they heard it. The most wonderful sound his ears could hear. Their little boy's cry.

"Great grease.", he muttered.

Calypso gave him a questioning look. She was exhausted, drained and drenched in sweat, but still angelic. "Was that Greece the land or grease the thing your hand is made of?"

He gave her an apologetic smile. "Er, the land?", he lied. She just rolled her eyes fully knowing that he lied. "I just hope Wayne does not get your attitude."

Leo pouted. "Hey, my attitude is hot and McScizzling, momma!", the to-be father remarked with his signature joking tone.

After a while, Leo jumped as new realization dawned in him. "Oh, no. You are NOT calling him Wayne. His name is Kent. K-E-N-T. Kent Valdez."

Calypso only chuckled at the fact that it took Leo awhile to notice.

It also took a while for the doctors to clean and present the baby to his parents, and when one of them entered holding a small package of human life bundled in warm cloth, both parents bolted upright and excited.

"Here, it's a healthy boy.", the doctor said with a gentle and congratulating tone as he passed it on to the mother. They could only stare in awe as how marvelous life is. They couldn't believe they made such an amazing baby. They couldn't believe they were his parents. And most of all, they couldn't believe that they still haven't agreed on the little guy's name.

Leo opened his mouth to speak, but Calypso cut him off. "We are not calling him Kent or Wayne.", she stated.

"I know. Let's call him Perfect.", Leo said, still looking at the boy.

Time passed and they were allowed to leave the hospital with their boy. Their friends congratulated them for their newly found happiness. They told the story of their continuous bickering for the baby's name and how they ended it with naming the boy Perfect, and everyone's jaws just dropped. Especially Percy, since he thought of naming their still-on-the-womb kid Perfect too. They greeted the boy with an almost unisoned "'Sup, Perfect." when Leo ROFLed and got a smack from Calypso.

They explained that they didn't name him Perfect. The bickering only ended with that. They named him Calvin Leonard which sounded like Caleo, their ship name back at camp, without the -vin and the -nard.

Before Calvin even reached one-year old, their little family was expecting another addition soon.

Hey hey! Sorry for the pointlessly late update. I don't have any good reasons and the honest reason is probably the weirdest reason yet. Advanced Happy New Year everyone!
