"Harry?" Louis asked with wide eyes. "Is it really you?"

"Yeah." I nodded walking forward. "It's really me."

"Am I dreaming?"

"No." I laughed and then closed the door.

"How?" he asked. "How are you back?"

"I got into an accident and hit my head."

"Oh my god. Are you okay?"

"Are you really asking that?" I wondered. "You're the one who almost died."

Louis didn't say anything. He just watched as I sat the flowers I got for him on his bedside table and then sat at the foot of his bed.

"How are you?" I asked.

"I'm okay." he said and then looked down to Claire. "She's keeping me sane right now."

"Claire." I smiled. "She's beautiful."

"How do you know her name?" he asked looking up to me in shock.

"You said her name before you blacked out. Dr. King told me."

"Oh." He nodded.

"What's her middle name?" I asked. "I've been waiting to hear this."

"Marie."

"Claire Marie?" I asked.

"Do you not like it? It's not official yet. Do you have any names you want?"

"No, I like it. But I have always liked the name Elizabeth."

"Claire Elizabeth?" Louis asked trying it out. "It's not bad."

"If you don't like it, then we won't use it."

"No, I want you to have a say in this."

"But we have to agree." I spoke, liking that Louis wasn't yelling at me or telling me to get lost.

"We could have two middle names?"

"Claire Marie Elizabeth? No." I said shaking me head.

"Claire Elizabeth Marie?"

"I like that better... but I don't know about two middle names. Only one will be used for stuff."

"I guess you're right." Louis sighed.

Just then, Dr. King walked in.

"Hello everyone." she smiled.

"Hi." Louis smiled back.

"I have the birth certificate. Who would like to fill it out?"

"Harry will." Louis spoke before I could.

"You want me to?" I asked.

"Yes." He nodded and then turned to King. "But we need help with names."

"How can I help?"

"Well, it's either Claire Marie, Claire Elizabeth, Claire Marie Elizabeth, or Claire Elizabeth Marie. We both like the last one, but Harry doesn't want two middle names and we can't decide which we like better."

"You can always hyphen the name?"

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Her first name could be Claire-Elizabeth."

"Like Mary-Kate Olsen?" Louis asked.

"Exactly."

"I love it." he said turning to me. "What do you think?"
