"Orlando? Like Orlando Bloom?"
"Yes. No. Shut up."
He laughed. "Actually I don't mind it. Xander?"
"Hell no. I'm not naming my son after that gumpy putz from Buffy."
"God, fine," he said, grinning. "I was teasing."
"Seriously, now." I pinched his skin next to his nipple. "No more jokes."
"We have nine months, baby."
I sighed. "Well, I want to think of names now."
He glanced at the ceiling, thinking. "Caleb." He held up his hand. "Before you say anything, it's not random. Caleb was a buddy of mine from Basic. He died in that ambush I told you about. He was...one of my best buddies."
I knew that one meant a lot to him. "Caleb Cartwright," I said, trying it out loud. "I like it, actually. What about a girl?"
He thought for a moment. "Niall?"
"That's an interesting one," I said. "Niall. Niall Cartwright. How'd you come up with that one?"
"I had a great-aunt named Niall, and I've just always liked it." He yawned and pulled me against him. "I like those names. Caleb and Niall."
I felt his breathing slow and even out. "Are you really happy we're having a baby?"
He didn't answer right away, and when he did, his words were slow and heavy with sleep. "I couldn't be any more excited...unless we had twins. I've always thought that would be fun."
I tried to imagine not one, but two little babies growing inside me, two lives, two personalities. My brain spun at the notion, and I felt myself drifting away into sleep, held tight by Jeff, content that, at the very least, Jeff was ready for this. I wasn't entirely sure I was ready, but I was happy.
I was having Jeff's baby. Merry Christmas to us.
