Pete gently rubbed his swollen belly, feeling a flutter of excitement mixed with nervousness. "I've been thinking about names," he said, breaking the comfortable silence between them.

Vegas looked up from his book, his eyes sparkling with curiosity. "Oh yeah? What did you have in mind?"

"Well, I was thinking... Venice," Pete suggested tentatively.

"Venice?" Vegas repeated, his lips curling into a smile. "I like it. It's unique, just like our little family."

Pete beamed at Vegas's response, feeling a surge of warmth. "And what about you? Any names you've been considering?"

Vegas paused, pondering for a moment before his face lit up with enthusiasm. "How about Phayu? It means 'storm' in Thai. It's like a reminder of the strength and resilience our baby will have."

Pete's heart swelled at the thoughtfulness behind Vegas's suggestion. "Phayu... I love it," he said softly, reaching out to take Vegas's hand in his own.

As they sat there, lost in conversation about their future as parents, a sense of peace settled over them. In that moment, they knew that no matter what challenges lay ahead, they would face them together.
