Chapter 1

“We’re not calling our baby Omid, one of you is enough,” Christa chuckled but still had a firm voice. Clementine, Louis, Omid and Christa have been together for a year now, Clem being 10 and Louis eleven.

“How about, Louis Junior!” Louis chimed in as he tugged on his yellow striped white shirt. Clementine giggled at him.

“One of you is enough as well,” Christa stated as she smiled at Louis.

“Hey!” Louis giggled.

The four reached the bathroom and continued there conversation.

“What if it’s a girl?” Clem asked as she crossed her arms over her blue hoodie.

“Then we’ll call her Christa!” Omid replied as he grinned at Christa hoping for a positive reaction.

“But I’m Christa. I don’t wanna call her Christa, it’s just confusing.”

“Then we’ll call her Genevieve, I don’t care!” Omid mumbled in defeat.

“Or Clementine!” Louis suggested as he nudged Clem and smiled at her.

“Louis, there’s only one Clementine,” Clem replied as she put her hands on her hips.

“Damn right!” Omid cheered as he high fived her. The four laughed.

“You boys are not taking this seriously,” Christa said after the laughter died down.

“Hey, we take everything seriously!” Omid retorted as he placed his hand on Louis’ shoulder.

“Especially for little Louis-Clementine-Christa-Genevieve-Omid’s future!” Louis stated slightly struggling as he said the cluster of names.

“Keep talkin’, and you two will be sleeping in the rain tonight,” Christa threatened as she turned around and headed towards the men’s bathroom. While they were talking Clem was investigating a can of peaches. “Remember that night in Barstow?” Christa grinned at Omid.

“Vegas weekend,” He replied with a massive smile. Christa nodded at him and entered the bathroom. “Why don’t you two uh, clean up in the girls room,” Omid said to Louis and Clem who were admiring the can of food.

“Wait, I have to go in the girls room!” Louis grimaced as he looked at it.

“C’mon Lou, it’s just a bathroom!” Clem giggled as she walked closer to it. “Let’s just hope the sink works in there,” Clem said as she turned her head to Omid.

“I wouldn’t count on it,” Omid shrugged,”Just you two be careful, and keep track on your things. We’ll be right next door.”

“Okay,” both of them said at the same time, except Louis sounded more disgusted. Clem dragged Louis into the girls bathroom since he kept on disagreeing to not go in. The bathroom had three rusty stalls and litter on the floor.

“See, it’s not that bad Louis, it’s pretty much the same as a boys one,” Clem stated as Louis looked around.

“Well, not exactly, we have urinals-

“Ew, shut up!” Clem interrupted before Louis can finish.  

“And you say that I shouldn’t be disgusted about the girls one!” Louis laughed. Clem rolled her eyes.

“Let’s just check if the sink works,” she muttered as she walked over to the sink. Louis chuckled slightly and checked the stalls to see if anyone, or anything was in there.

“AH, what the hell is that!?” Louis yelled as he jumped back from the stall. Clem pulled out her gun and ran over to the stall. All there was, was an old, battered bunny.
