"JJ, JJ, JJ!" I say getting louder each time

"What!" He yells taking off his headphones and pausing the game he's playing. "Is there something wrong with you" he asks

"No" I say

"Something wrong with the baby" he asks

"No" I say again

"Then leave me alone I'm in a game" he says putting the headphones back on

"JJ!" I yell

"What" he says

"It's important come here" I say

"If this is you wanting to cuddle again and trying to get me off the game" he says walking towards me

"It's not, this time it's actually important, sit" I say patting the bed next to me

"What's up" he says sitting down

"I'm 6 months and we still don't have a name, we need to name him" I say

"Why we can just call him baby" he says

"No we are picking a real name. I've always wanted to name my kid a unique name so their not like everyone else" I say grabbing my laptop

"Yeah sure that's a great idea so he can get picked on for having a weird name" he says

"He's not gonna get picked on" I say looking up baby names

"This is how we're naming our kid, from the internet" JJ says

"Do you have any ideas" I say and JJ stays quiet. "That's what I thought" I say

"Ok so what about August" I say

"No absolutely not" he says

"Why" I say

"Were not naming him after a month" he says

"Fine, what about Asher or Ashton and we can call him Ash" I say

"No, it's like he's smoking" he says

"Ok, how bout Enzo" I say

"Name him after a car, no" he says

"God fine, Ezra, Grayson, Jax, Knox, Xavier, Slate" I say with JJ shaking his head no with each one. "My God your impossible" I say closing the laptop

"Give me this" he says taking the laptop

"What are you doing" I say

Then he hands me the laptop with the search. "Ocean names for baby boys".

"You wanna name him after the Ocean, yeah no talk about getting picked on" I say closing the laptop

"Well fine you pick then, I don't care anymore, we obviously can't agree" JJ says annoyed getting up and going back to his game

"Why are you so mad" I say

"I'm not mad" JJ says clearly mad

"Your clearly mad, I should be the one who's mad you hated all my names" I say raising my voice

"And you didn't even look at mine" he yells

"You don't have to yell" I say putting my hand on my stomach

"What it's not like you weren't yelling at me!" he says still yelling

Then there's a knock at the door

"Great that's probably my mom" I say trying to get up

"I can get it" JJ says about to get up

"No it's fine I'll do it" I say

"This isn't even her business" JJ wripsers

"Oh well she's only the grandma to the baby that you put here, so it is her business" I say opening the door

"Hey mom" I say tearing up and going in the hall

"Hi honey" she says hugging me. "Are you guys ok" she asks

"Yeah we were trying to find a name and he wasn't agreeing and I wasn't either and I guess he just got mad or maybe I got mad at him" I say hugging her

"It's ok you guys will agree and disagree on some things a lot" she says

"Yeah I know" I say

"Just go talk to him and maybe let him cool off a bit because this fighting even though he's not here, he can still hear your voices and the fighting isn't good for him" she says wiping my tears

"Yeah ok, thanks mom" I say

"Of course honey. I'll be downstairs if you need me" she says

Then I walk back into the room and see JJ packing the little things he has here

'What so your leaving now" I say

He stays silent while packing

"Silent treatment now" I say

"I'm doing this for you" he says trying to walk away

"What your leaving because of me" I say. "That isn't what I want and you know that" I say making him sit down

"You sure that's what your mom wants" he says looking at me

"What are you talking about" I say

"We constantly fight and I'm sure you always tell her that I start it, right" he says. "Ok all I'm saying is she probably hates me" he says

"She doesn't hate you" I say hugging him. "Please put your stuff back" I say crying

"Why are you crying" he says hugging me

"I don't want you to go. I love you and I can't do this alone" I say hugging him

"You won't need to, I'm not going anyway" he says

"Good. I will look at the names, but it doesn't mean I'll like them" I say

"Ok" he says

"Do you have any in mind" I say grabbing the laptop

"Maybe, but you probably won't like it, so" he says

"What is it" I say

"It doesn't matter like I said you wouldn't like it" he says

"JJ please" I say

"....River or Sawyer or maybe Sailor" He says. "That look you don't like them do you. I know there dumb" he says

"No J I like them, a lot actually and you do realize those are unique names" I say

"Ok shut up I know" he says. "So you like them" he says

"Yeah I do, but which one do you want" I say

"River" he says fast

"Ok River it is then" I say laughing

"Really " he says

"Yes" I say

"Hey River" he says to my bump while rubbing it
