LA Devotee

Chapter 41

"So?" Pandora asked, looking the two cuddling on the couch as she plopped a name book on the coffee table, "Any names yet or are you gonna have to resort to this beautiful, amazing book I bought you?" She asked before taking a seat. Sydney smiled, "Thank you, Panda, and I dont think we have any names decided yet.." She trailed off, looking over at Jack, "Do we?"

"I dunno. You pick and I'm just saying if I like it." He shrugged. Mark rolled his eyes at his best friend, "Trust you two not to have any names picked." He muttered. Pandora slapped his arm, "Mark, honey, if this ever happened to us, you'd be doing the same thing. Leaving me to pick names." She laughed. He grunted before kissing her temple and pulling her closer. "I have a name for you, Mr. Fuckface." Sydney smiled, picking up the book then scooting back into her place on the couch. "I don't like that." Sean laughed, peeking over her arm.

"I like it." Mark snickered, causing Pan to nod. "It does have a nice ring to it." She joked. Sydney kissed Jack's jaw lightly. "Let's look at the names."

Sean just nodded, looking down at her.

"Yeah. You do that." He smiled. She rested her head on his shoulder, opening up the book. "Any names you like yet?" Pandora asked, standing up and walking behind the couch, peering over Sydneys head. "Not really.." She trailed off, playing with Jack's fingers. "Okay maybe this is a bad idea." Mark laughed, "you still have like, what? 2? 3 months? Before the kid is actually here."

"Maybe its better to just wait and name her when she gets here." Jack piped up, resting his head on top of Sydney's. "Her?" Pandora asked, a smile stretching on her face.

Sydney hit Sean's arm lightly. "You weren't supposed to say anything." She lightly laughed, a sigh following, "I was going to tell you guys later, but I guess sooner works." She half grinned.

"Oh my god," Pandora laughed, jumped over the back of the couch and back beside Mark, "Mark, were gonna have a niece!" She gleaned with joy. Sydney closed her eyes as her head rested against Sean's shoulder. "Congrats dude." Mark said, shoving Sean's shoulder, "Better you than me." He joked, clearly showing it. Sydney smiled, placing a hand on her stomach. "I'm happy you're all excited."

"I'm very excited." Pandora giggled, "I can have someone I'm gonna spoil rotten. I can be like her big sister. Like if she's scared to tell you something, I'm gonna make sure she knows she can come to me." She smiled. "That's great, Panda." Sydney replied quietly, starting to doze off. "I think we should go." Mark whispered, nodding toward Sydney. His eyes then darting toward Pandora. Sydney reached over and grabbed Pandora's hand. "If you leave, could you please bring me something to eat later?" She asked, half grinning.

"I guess." She groaned, jokingly, "Yeah sure, what do you want?" She asked. "Cake from Ms. T's shop, pretty please." She replied sweetly, Jack chuckling. "Alrighty." Pandora said, looking at Mark, "Well?" 

"What?" Mark asked. "Are you going to go or not?" Pandora asked, trying to shove him off the couch, playfully. "Yeah, yeah. I'm going." He laughed, standing up and gently pulling Pandora with him. "Don't make me move, love." Pandora begged, laughing. He rolled his eyes playfully, squatting down a little. "Come on."

She stood up quickly, jumping on his back, her legs wrapping around his waist, "One would say I'm lazy, but you know I'm not." She whispered in his ear, "Thank you." She giggled. Mark smiled, bouncing a little to push her up higher as he held her legs. "You're cute, you know that?" She laughed as the two told Sydney and Sean goodbye, then walking toward the door.

"But you're cuter, so your cute out weighs mine." He replied, walking out of the door. "Nah." She said as the two reached their car, "Mark?"

"Hmm?" He hummed, opening the passenger door and moving so she could get inside. "Have you ever thought about looking at houses?" She asked, "And about getting a dog? Do you think it's about time to get out of that apartment?" She continued asking questions before being hushed by him.
