His first kick
Christen and her friends were walking around the mall, chatting. "Oh my god," she gasped. "Guys! He just kicked!" Her teammates put their hands on her small bump. "Come on, little guy. Give your aunties a kick." Marisa talked to the bump, acts like the baby will listen to her. Christen giggled at them.
She's always grateful for her friends to be there for her. It can be overwhelming at times but it's nice to have a lot of support from her friends. It was already hard enough to be a single mother and to not have the baby's father's support and help. Her family were 6 hours away. It was hard to tell her family. She would be lying if she said they weren't disappointed in her but she was very glad to have their support. She admitted she should be responsible when it came to sex safe. She will never regret for keeping her baby. They visited her a few times. Kelley always gave them updates including videos of her baby shower and gender reveal, and ultrasounds. She definitely will send them videos of the baby's kicks.
"You guys will feel his kicks later." she assured them. They mumbled in an agreement. "I will be the first aunt to feel his kick. I live with her." Kelley stuck her tongue at her friends. Christen rolled her eyes at her childish behavior.
"This is not competition, Kel."

Choosing his name
Christen sat on the couch, looking the names from the book of baby names for her son then slammed the book closed in frustration, causing her friends looked up at her. "You good?"
"Why is it so hard to pick his name? It's a fricking name but what if I chose this name and it doesn't suit his personality? This book is stupid." Christen threw a book at Kelley. Ali snickered.
"What the hell, Presi?! I am not your stress reliever nor a punching bag. You know you can name him after me," Kelley half joked. Ali shook her head at her.
"In your dream, Kel. Christen, I am sure the name you pick will be perfect for him. You will find his name. Maybe you will hear the certain name and you will know it's the right one for your son." Christen smiled at Ali. She was right.

It was a clear night.
Christen was relaxing on the couch, watching Grey's Anatomy. "Gosh, Alex. Don't be stupid." she mumbled. Kelley was sleeping on Christen's shoulder and Christen really needed to go to the bathroom. "Kelley, I need to pee. Move your head," Christen said. Kelley groaned. "It's not my fault. He's resting on my bladder." As Christen stood up, she felt something wet. Christen gasped. She's two weeks early. "Kelley! I think my water broke!" Christen yelled at Kelley, hitting her arm, causing her to fully wake up.
"Bullcrap. You pulled that prank on me last week." Kelley glared at her then looked down at her sweatpants and there was a wet spot. "Oh shit." Kelley realized Christen wasn't joking. "Shit. Shit. Okay. Crap. Um. Let me call Ali and tell her to pick us up. Shit." Kelley panicked and ran to Christen's room to get her baggage. Kelley came out of Christen's room and walked to Christen. "Okay. Okay, let's go downstairs. Can you walk? Are you okay? Any pains?"
"Yes, Kelley. Calm down." They both went down to the front door, waiting for Ali to show up. "You are freaking out more than I am yet I am surprisingly calm."
"I am freaking out because you are about to have a baby!" Kelley exclaimed.
As Ali showed up, Kelley opened the door and helped a pregnant lady to get in the car then got in. "Ali, go!" Kelley yelled. Ali pushed the pedal on their way to the hospital.
