“Well what?”, Kameron asked playing dumb. “You know what I’m talking about Kameron. What did the test say?” “We’re gonna gave a baby!”, Kameron yelled. AJ was out of his seat in no time hugging Haley. “Congratulations!”, Nick said for everyone. “I can’t believe this! I am going to be a father!” All of the sudden, everyone realized that there was one more question to be answered. They all looked at Haley. “What about you?”, Brian asked hopefully. “You know what? It seems to me like there is going to be a lot of shopping being done in the next 9 months because we are having a double pregnancy ladies and gentleman!”, Haley exclaimed. “Oh! I’m gonna be a daddy to another one! Oh yeah. I”m the man!” Everyone laughed at Brian’s response to the news. He grabbed AJ by the arm and they did a little square dancing routine in the midst of their happiness. “Guys. Don’t ever do that again. That was hideous.”, Kevin said chuckleing. “Well let’s continue on with our barbecue!”, Kameron said raising her hands in the air.
*That night*
“You want to give Tyler a bath for me?”, Haley asked giving Brian a kiss. “Mommy, Daddy, kiss.”, Tyler said smiling. Brian bent down to Tyler’s level. “You think that’s funny? Huh?”, Brian said blowing on Tyler’s tummy. Tyler just laughed and laughed. “Sure, I’ll give him a bath. You go relax.” “Thanks honey. You treat me well.”, she gushed. “I know. You’re a lucky woman.”, Brian joked. “Very funny Brian!”, Haley said walking down stairs to the living room. She grabbed a piece of paper and began writing down names. Baby names. She made a list for girls and a list for boys. She wanted to be prepared when the baby was born this time.
Ten minutes later Brian came downstairs with Tyler. Brian had gotten him ready for bed. “Kiss Mommy goodnight.”, Brian said leaning him down enough in his arms to kiss Haley. He did. “Thank you sweetie. You’re such a good boy.”, she said rubbing nudging his tummy. “I’ll be back down in a few minutes. I’m gonna tuck him in.”, Brian said swatting Tyler’s bottom playfully. He giggled. “Okay. Goodnight Tyler!”, Haley called after them. “Night Mommy!”, Tyler yelled back over his daddy’s shoulder.
Haley went back to thinking up names. She didn’t even realize that Brian had come back downstairs until he sat down beside her. “What are you doing?”, he asked kissing her on the cheek. “I am thinking of baby names. One column for boys. One for girls.” “Why so early?”, he asked curiously. “I don’t want to be unprepared this time like we were last time. We thought up Tyler’s name on the spur of the moment.” “That’s true. So what have you thought of so far?” Haley handed him the list. Brian looked at it, scanning through the names. “I like those two names.”, Brian said pointing to a boy’s name and a girl’s name. “Ashlyn for a girl. Kody for a boy.”, Brian said. “I like those too. Those are the best ones I have thought of so far.” “Well, we have 9 months to figure it out. Plus, we don’t have to worry about thinking up boy’s names.” “Why don’t we have to think of boy’s names?”, Haley asked leaning back in his arms. “Because it is going to be a girl.” “You have your heart set on a girl don’t you?” “Well it isn’t so much that I have my heart set on a girl, it is just that every father wants to have a Daddy’s Girl. If we have another boy, I will be just as happy. Just look at how happy Tyler has made us.”, Brian explained sweetly. “I understand. I kind of want a girl too. But, I think if we have a boy it will be just as great too.”
