I felt embarrassed. 

Why would I do that?

If I never drank, this wouldn't happen.

I looked up names.

List:

Blake
Dylan
Cameron
Jordan
Micah

Payton

I looked down at the laptop, happy with my decisions.

I heard a knock at the door.

"Come in." I said.

It was Zach.

"One thing we didn't tell you..." Zach hesitated.

"Yeah?" I asked.

"Um.  Last night, you were dragging Alia when I came and you shoved me to the ground.  I was ou cold.  That push hurt my head a lot.  We went to the hospital early this morning because my skull was hurting, it's broken in a spot, not a lot though.  The point is you shoved me, so you sort of forgot two people." Zach said, wrapping up his point.

"I'm sorry Zach I didn't want any of this to happen or anything..." I sighed.

"It's not your fault, curse drinking!" He said, trying to lighten the mood.  I chuckled.

"So no one hates me?" 

"No one.  Everyone agrees the drinks got to your head." Zach nodded.

"Good." I said.

"Also, Alia's done with her list." Zach added.

"Tell her to come up." I said.

"Will do."

"So I decided if it is a boy we can do Brayden, Blake, Dylan, Cameron, Jodan, or Micah.  If it is a girl we can do Payton, Skyler, Bailey, Abigail, Caroline, Christina, or Emily." I shared my names with Alia.  She nodded.

"Those are great.  I had a hard time picking a girl name.  I didn't pick a girl name but I got some for boys; Stefan and Anthony." Alia said.

"I like Stefan..." I said to myself.

"On your list I like the names Blake and Abigail, Abi for short." Alia said.

"Are you sure you'll be okay raising the kid on your own?" I said out of the blue.

"I'll be fine.  If anything happens I'll come to you guys.  I'm looking to see how much money I have from YouTube to get a house.  Or I can get a different apartment from my brother.  CRAP HE'S PROBABLY WORRIED SICK! I need to go!" She said, standing up and running off.

"And goodbye to you too..." I sighed.
