Baby Names

It was that moment before we went to sleep where Taylor and I sat in bed, her on her laptop and me watching TV. The volume was down low and the loudest noise in the room was her typing. The light is dim and soft. We're snuggled beside each other. We've more pillows around our heads than we need, it's a mountain of softness behind us. Taylor has stopped typing and sighs a little at the screen. 

"What's up?", I ask.

"Oh, nothing...Katherine just asked me to help with another baby shower. It's for her sister"

"I thought you loved aranging those things"

"I do! I just...I feel...left behind"

I mute the TV. "Thinking about that again, hmm?"

"Yeah...I have so many names", she smiles.

"Shoot", I say with a grin, turning on my side to face her.

She takes a little breath and then leans back, closing her laptop.

"...Juliet...Leon...Bella...Curtis...". She brings her hands over her face, sighing. I lean over to wrap my arms around her and she snuggles into me. "Chloe...George...Lacey- Ugh!", she moans, pulling away from me. She swings her legs around the bed and grips at the sheets, slouching with her head down. 

"Tay..it's alright"

"No! It's..It's not alr..alright..". Little gasps escape her lips.

"Aww, Taylor", I coo, wriggling up to hug her. 

"I want..a baby", she whispers. "I'm twenty eight, for god sake"

"...Soon, Tay"

She looks up and turns around to face me. "..I'm sorry, Ell..No, it's fine..I keep forgetting that you're only twenty.."

"No, I'm sorry. I know you're ready, Tay", I whisper, holding her closer. "Look at me", I say, turning her to face me. "I want kids...just as much as you do...and because of the relationship we're in, it's gonna take a little extra work"

She frowns and looks down.

"Lets talk about the options...adoption?..donors?"

"I really don't know", Tay sighs, hand on head. I tickle at her sides.

"Stop, Ell", she says, quietly and brushes me away. I don't stop. Pulling her back into bed, I roll her onto her back and tickle at her tummy.  She laughs, giddely. I lean in and kiss her.

"I love you so much", I whisper, smiling into the kiss.

"I know", she giggles.

"We are going to have a baby someday, Tay...I promise"

"You don't have to promise something like tha-"

"No. I promise you, Taylor. One day we're going to be woken up by little feet bouncing on our bed and the smell of baby powder on our clothes", I grin.

"Baby powder", she repeats to herself, smiling. "Little feet.."

I kiss her cheek. "Let's talk about this in the morning?", I ask.

"Ok", she says and sinks under the covers. I snuggle into her and think about our future. Waking up in the night because a little certain someone wants water. Messy feeding at a high chair. Long walks in the park with a pram and maybe even a dog...

"You'll be the best mother, Tay"

"We'll be", she corrects.

And I giggle, closing my eyes, my dreams being filled with images of pink, blue and baby blankets.
