Tony and Michelle have a picnic, in which they discuss potential baby names.

Tony and Michelle walk outside to the lake with a picnic basket and a blanket. Leading her to “his” tree, Tony places the picnic basket on the ground and helps her unfold the blanket. It’s a nice day outside, despite the obvious presence of doom and woe.

"Hey, it's only a few months. We can wait." He begins to run his fingers through her hair.

[chelleuncurled]

She leans her head against his shoulder, "I don't want a future with anyone but you."

[iwasalevel6.livejournal.com]

And how he could suspect her of being unfaithful to him...he'll never know. Maybe he's more insane than he thought, because a woman like Michelle...he wouldn't think of cheating on her, either.

He lets them sit in silence for a few moments, listening to the sounds of the lake and the trees around them.

They don't really have to talk, when she looked into his eyes this weekend she knew what he was thinking, like some forgotten link between them had started to mend itself.

Eventually, she pulls back and looks at him.

[iwasalevel6.livejournal.com]

He brushes her hair back. "So, who do we name him after?"

[chelleuncurled]

She laughs softly, "You're so sure it'll be a he?"

[iwasalevel6.livejournal.com]

"Hey, just throwing words out there." He grins.

[chelleuncurled]

She grins in return, her eyes a little brighter than usual. "So you'd want a son so he could play for the Cubs when he got older?"

[iwasalevel6.livejournal.com]

"Ah, I like that idea. So we'd name him Cubby?"

[chelleuncurled]

She giggles, "If you think I'm naming a son after a mug...you're nuts."

[iwasalevel6.livejournal.com]

"C'mon...Cubby Almeida. Has a nice ring to it."

[chelleuncurled]

"No, I don't think so..."

[iwasalevel6.livejournal.com]

"Fine. Got any better ideas?"

[chelleuncurled]

"I could probably open a baby name book to any random page and come up with a better name than that."

[iwasalevel6.livejournal.com]

He laughs. "Just as long as we don't name him...Maxamillian or something."

[chelleuncurled]

She laughs, "Not unless we want our son to grow up to be a megalomaniac."

[iwasalevel6.livejournal.com]

"Would Cubby be a good name for a girl?"

[chelleuncurled]

She giggles, "Tony, I don't think Cubby would be a good name for a puppy."

[iwasalevel6.livejournal.com]

"Hey, if it's good enough for a mug it's gotta be good enough for something else."

[chelleuncurled]

"A shirt?"

[iwasalevel6.livejournal.com]

"Why would you name a shirt?"

[chelleuncurled]

"Why would you name a mug?" Touche.

[iwasalevel6.livejournal.com]

"Touche!" He grins.

[chelleuncurled]

She grins in return. "So Cubby's out."

[iwasalevel6.livejournal.com]

"Cubby's out. Have any more reasonable suggestions? Like, ah, Jack? Ryan? Tony?"
