After getting home from a run to the grocery store, Matthew couldn't find Logan. Well, he was at her house since they had agreed that it was more kid friendly and she had a guest room the perfect size for a nursery, which had taken them almost three months to fix because they had a certain need for it to be perfect. Matt wandered around her house with a glass of tropical juice - something Logan had asked him to pick up because it was one of the things Grape seemed to love - and looked for her, but he couldn't find her.

Until he checked the nursery, which was where Logan was sitting on the floor next to the crip and sobbing quietly. She was hugging one of Grape's stuffed animals - a pink bunny - to her chest as Matt slowly sat down next to her.

"Baby, what's wrong?" he asked and gently combed his fingers through her hair.

"He's supposed to be here in two days and we don't even have a name yet," Logan said between sobs. "I'm going to be a horrible mom, and my feet are hurting."

"Okay, one, you're not going to be a horrible mom. You're going to be an amazing mom, and I know that because you already care for and love Grape so much," Matthew assured her, somewhat relieved that he wasn't the only one freaking out as the due date was suddenly less than a week away. "Two, it's just a name. Three, I'll give you a foot rub later, okay?"

Logan nodded, her tears slowly stopping to fall.

"We still need a name," she mumbled and grabbed her phone from where it was on the floor beside her, opening a website full of names. "I'm going to close my eyes and scroll, you say stop whenever."

And that was how they chose a name for their son.
