89 - Nothing Gold Can Stay (there's already a chapter by this name but what can I do?)

Nothing Gold Can Stay:

Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

- Robert Frost

"Princess?" Niall says as we start to drive back home, his eyes never leaving the road as he takes a sharp turn.

"Mhm?" I reply.

"I love you." He beams at me.

"I love you too." I grin at him.

"Remember when I rammed into your leg with that neon pink Disney bike?"

"How can I forget? I had a bruise there for two weeks."

"When we're married I want our daughter to have that bike. And then when she asks I want you to be all like, your dad rammed into my leg with that bike."

"Little baby Darlene."

"Meghan." Niall scowls.

"Kendra." I snap back.

"Lauren." Niall replies, "Lindsey, Lily, Logan, Lizzie--"

"Chill with the L's, babe." I laugh, "How about Marley."

"No! Olivia."

"Mikaela, Monica, Marlene, Meghan--"

"How about after a country?" I interrupt, "Like, we'll name her India or London or Paris or something--"

"Harmony, Heather, Hailey, Helen--"

"Phoebe." I interrupt, "We'll name her after Phoebe from Friends."

Niall stays silent for a while --like he's thinking the pros and cons of the name-- before murmuring: "Phoebe."

"You like it?" I raise my eyebrows.

"Yeah,"

"Did we actually just agree on a name?" I chuckle, "After one year of arguing?"

"I like how it stands out yet kinda blends in." Niall murmurs, "I really like it. Phoebe Horan."

"Um... Excuse me? Phoebe Horan?" I scoff at him, "More like Phoebe Styles. Phoebe Elizabeth Styles."

"Get the fuck out of here," Niall laughs at me, "I'm the dominant one. You and our children are taking my last name."

"You can make me do anything." I reply and he rolls his eyes at me.

"What do you want to do tonight?" Niall asks.

"Lets watch a movie."

"Disney or Pixar?" Niall asks and goddamn, he knows me so well.

"The Outsiders!" I exclaim, "Have you watched the movie before?"
