#6 Baby Names
Louis: You got under the duvet at night completely tired from the day. You had been getting the house ready for the baby boy that was going to be coming in around six months, and walking around with him in your enlarging stomach was putting a toll on your back. Your eyes threatened to close once your head hit the pillow but Louis voice next to you helped them to stay open. "Sorry I wasn't able to help much today," he said as you felt him move closer to you. He put his hand on top of your arm and laid right behind you, his breath wafting around your ear. "Your mom helped me, so it's fine. She's been through this process enough times to know what to do. You probably would've just sat there anyway if it was just you and me," you laughed softly as you rubbed your eyes. "Yeah, probably," Louis laughed and started to rub your arm some more. You were started to close your eyes and felt sleep drifting over your body when Louis whispered to you once more. "Hey, have you thought of any names for him yet?" Your eyes flew open as you deciphered what he said. "Not really. Your mom hasn't mentioned it to me either. I bet she's dying to know what we want to name him." Louis moved closer to you and he moved his arm around you completely, his hand resting on your stomach where the baby was currently resting. "Well, during that time you were getting the nursery ready I was thinking of some names." He paused as you listened to him, practically half asleep. "Wanna hear them?" "Yeah, lay it on me." Louis cleared his throat as he patted your belly a few times. "I like Daniel or Ryan, I was also considering Lucas or something. But then I thought that it should be more cool or whatnot, so I thought Xander or Zack." "Xander?" You asked him as he stopped patting you. You blinked your eyes multiple times as Louis went on rambling about the baby's name. "I like Zack. I think it's a cute name for a boy." "Oh, good, because I thought it was pretty cool too. Good choice," Louis kissed your ear and backed away from you a bit. "Can I please get some sleep now?" You asked as you closed your eyes. "Yeah, sure," Louis's voice sounded whimsical. "Zack, Zack, Zack..." You fell asleep to Louis pondering over your baby's name and finally got a good nights sleep.
Zayn: "Here you go," you placed Zayn's plate in front of him during dinner once you had the table all set for the two of you. In the corner of the room though there was a high chair that was impatiently waiting to be opened and added to the table, making a dinner for two go to a dinner for three. You sat down at your spot and started to eat your food, which was nothing special really. You weren't on a huge diet or anything for your pregnancy with a little baby girl, which was good because you liked to eat some bad foods once in a while. You strayed away from the alcohol though. "So," Zayn said in between clinks on his plate from his fork and knife. He finished chewing his food as you looked up at him and he spoke to you. "I've got some names in mind for the little one," he pointed to your swollen belly that was peeking a bit over the table with his fork. You looked down and smiled for a split second before you looked at your husband. "And? I'm interested in what you've got," you put your fork down and raised your brow as you drank some of your water. "Well, I was thinking something cool, you know? Like, I don't know, you remember that one actress in that one movie where they sang in college and stuff?" You tried to remember what he was talking about and laughed at his paraphrase of the movie. "Pitch Perfect?" "Yeah, her name was Rebel. I thought that'd be pretty cool." "Zayn," you laughed at him. You gave it a thought and considered it for a second or two before you ate some more. "Go on. You have other ideas?" "Well, how about Chanel?" "Like the fashion company? Zayn, these are pretty cool ideas but I don't want to regret naming my kid that. How about something prettier than Chanel, that's a bit odd. What would you call her as a nickname?" Zayn shrugged and continued to eat his food and you smiled. "I was sort of thinking of like Sierra, or I don't know, Katarina. And then we'd call her Kat." "That's a pretty name," he smiled at you as he wiped his face with a napkin. You two continued to eat in silence for a while before he spoke up. "Are you sure you don't want to use Rebel or Chanel?" "I'm sure. Maybe we can name another pet one of those names." You watched him as he got up from his seat. "But do we have a decision?" You got up too as Zayn took your plate from you and you slowly walked over to the sink with your hand on your stomach. "Yeah, I like the name Katarina. It's a nice name. Kat Malik, huh?" He smiled and patted your stomach as he put the plates in the sink.
