Long Lost Love Come Home Ch. 68

Belle and Shawn had to make two trips to from the limo to get all the presents out of the car. Belle had piled the presents in the lobby of the loft. They were still wrapped, and Belle felt that she did not have the energy to open them up.
Shawn sat down on the couch. “Baby, aren’t you going to open those? I don’t think that security will let us on the plane with those still wrapped,” Shawn said, pulling Belle’s tired body onto his lap.
“I will open them later, I am to tired to even move right now,” Belle said as she laid her head down on Shawn’s chest.
Shawn scooped Belle up and placed her on the couch. “What if you only open one present?” Shawn asked.
“Fine. Which one?” Belle said as she sat up and looked at the pile of presents on the floor.
Shawn quickly ran up the stairs of the loft, and returned with a wrapped gift box underneath his arm. “How about this one,” Shawn suggested as he placed the box in Belle’s fingertips.
“What’s this?” Belle asked.
“Something I wanted to get for you. It is kind of a Horton tradition,” Shawn said as he giddily watched Belle remove the blue and pink ribbon that was tied around the brown cardboard box.
“A Baby Name Book?” Belle asked as she removed the lid of the box, and pushed aside the white tissue paper.
“Yeah,” Shawn said as he sat down. “You see every time a Horton is having a baby, another Horton goes and buys them a baby name book,” Shawn clarified. “And I figured since you are almost a Horton, or will be soon, I would get you one.”
“Shawn, that is so sweet,” Belle said as she pecked Shawn on the lips, and began to flip through the book. “So what letter should I start with?” Belle asked.
“The S’s of course,” Shawn said as he flipped the pages to the near end of the book.
“Why S?” Belle asked.
“Well if it is a boy it will be Shawn Jr. of course and if it’s a girl it will be Shawna,” Shawn said.
“What makes you think that ‘I’ want to name it that?” Belle asked, surprised than Shawn would make assumptions such as the name of their first-born child.
“Well it would be nice to have a third generation Shawn around,” Shawn said as he continued to flip through the pages.
“Maybe it would be nice, but don’t you think that we should at least look at other alternative?” Belle asked.
“See look here is Shawn,” Shawn said finding the page with his name across the top. “It means ‘God’s Gracious Gift.’ See that’s a pretty good name for a baby.”
“Have you thought about the fact that if I have two of you in this house, it might get a little confusing?” Belle asked.
“Well we will just have to come up with a nickname,” Shawn suggested.
“Like what? Shawn D? You hated your nickname,” Belle teased.
“Not when you called me it, I love everything that comes out of your mouth,” Shawn said capturing Belle’s lips.
“Well that’s good, because I will try out some names on you now. If it’s a boy we could name him Andrew.”
“Andrew? Andrew Brady? It’s interesting,” Shawn said, somewhat uninterested.
“Shawn, this is the name of our child. This is the name that they will have for the rest of their lives; we need to agree on this. Ok, lets start from the beginning. What about Aaron?”
“No, Aaron Brady, I don’t like it.” Shawn said.
“Ok, well at least you are being direct. What about Abraham? And don’t forget it is going to be Black-Brady.”
“How long is this going to go on?” Shawn asked.
After a few hours…
“Ok what about Zane?” Belle asked.
“Do you even need to ask?” Shawn asked, as he made a face at the thought of Zane Black-Brady.
“Ok so we have it narrowed down to Michael, Joshua, Matthew, David, Benjamin, Jeremy, Alexander, Noah, Kurt, and Maxwell,” Belle said as she looked over the list of names.
“I remember agreeing to all except Maxwell,” Shawn said, “I actually remember saying that I didn’t like it.”
“Well, I like it, and it’s either that or Blaine…” Belle teased.
“Ok, ok fine Maxwell I can deal with,” Shawn said.
“Ok now, onto girl names. Abby?”
“Ahhh! I don’t think I can handle this for nine more months! Don’t you think we should find out if it is a boy or a girl first, before we name it, and must we continue calling it ‘it?’”
“I want to be surprised, and speaking of which, I have a doctors appointment tomorrow before we go back to Salem,” Belle said, putting the book aside.
“What time?” Shawn asked as he put his arm around Belle.
“Around noon, why?” Belle asked curiously.
“Because I want to come with you,” Shawn said.
“Aw…Honey, that is so sweet. But these things can be very boring, and maybe slightly uncomfortable for you,” Belle said.
“Nonsense, I want to come.”
“Alright, but never say that I forced you.”
