A Very Goode Christmas

Day 9

Day 9

Cammie pov

The only thought on my mind was how salty the popcorn was. Forgetting the movie in front of me all I needed was water. I frantically searched around me for any sign of liquid. The rustling caused Zach to lean in towards me and ask "what are you looking for?" 
"Water" He smirked and magically pulled a bottle from next to him. "Where did you get this from Goode?" His smirking never ceased to amaze me. "Jerk" I told him in a small voice so the kids wouldn't want to hear. They catch on things pretty quickly and love to imitate. Once Zach said crap in front of Matthew and he didn't stop repeating it for a week. 

Anyway we were watching a selection of holiday movies. We were being lazy the whole day which basically meant we were relaxing. Not to mention it kept the kids happy and entertained. We started off with Charlie Brown which was followed by Frosty the Snowman and now we were on How the Grinch Stole Christmas. I have to admit the grinch freaks me out a little. 

"Can you pass the popcorn please?" Matt asked from Zach'a lap. I gave him the bowl making sure to see it was safely in his heads. We had an accident a couple of days ago handing him a mug. Thankfully no one got hurt and I made Zach clean it up. 

The rest of a movie was a blur. I had trouble paying attention with the baby kicking. Once the movie was over I decided to turn the TV off. I think we had enough tv for a while. 

"Did you like the movie?" Zach asked with both kids in his lap. They nod enthusiastically and Matthew shouted "Yes!" I let out a small chuckle rubbing my growing stomach. 

"Are you excited for the new baby?"I ask them. I was worried Lily would get jealous like Matt did. 

"Yeah it's going to be fun" Matt loved feeling the baby kick. I found it adorable. He would whisper to my stomach giving it advice and telling the baby who he was. Lily got scared when she put her hand on my stomach. I think she's slowly getting used to the idea. 

"What do you want to name the baby?" I didn't really like referring to the baby as an it. 

"Well for a boy I think Zach jr will be nice" I didn't even have to look at him to know he was smirking. Ladies and gentlemen my husband the joker. 
"In your dreams Blackthorne Boy" I tell him. 

"Mickey" Lily who had been quiet the whole time said. I arched an eyebrow. "Like Mickey Mouse?" Lily gave me an are-you-kidding-me look. I didn't want to hurt her by saying no I don't want to name my next child after a cartoon mouse, so I nodded my head. 

"Mark?" 

"Danny" 

"Chris"

"Richy" what was with Lily and all the names ending with y? I couldn't rule out the fact that she wanted her little sibling to be like her own name. 

The kids actually have good suggestions. That was until Matthew brought up a name I rather forget. 

"Josh" I sat there frozen while Zach stiffened behind me. I honesty should have seen this coming. "Maybe we'll pass on that one" I say noting Zach's jaw clenched. 

"Be a Goode little child" Zach's tells him in a scolding tone. I elbowed him in the stomach.  

"I love you" I remind him kissing his cheek. This caused Matthew to yell (rather loudly if I must say) "EW!" 

"What about girl names?" I asked leaning more towards Zach's shoulder. I swear his shoulder could be a pillow, it was always so comfy. He seemed to relax. 

"Cecelia?" I pondered for a moment. That would be a nice name for a girl. I think I might use it. 

"Emily?" Zach added in. I wanted the new baby to have a unique name. Matthew was named after my father, Lily was named after the flower Zach gave me on the day e proposed. I guess I can go with Lily's idea and use Mickey or Minnie if its a girl. 

"Amy" I smiled. It was perfect. It briyght back so many memories. 

That's how we spent the rest of our night, trying to come up with baby names. When I woke up the kids were leaning against each other fast asleep while we were all snuggled against Zach who had his arm wrapped protectively over all of us. 

The value of this moment lives in metaphor. -backseat serenade all time low
