"Are you still looking at the moon?" 

Zoe turned around and saw Evan standing in the doorway.

"What?" Zoe asked.

"The moon. Are you still looking at it?" Evan asked. He walked over to her and she looked out the window again.

"Yeah. It's cool." Zoe said simply.

"It is. How long have you been in here?" Evan asked. Zoe shrugged and rested her hands on her baby bump.

"A while." Zoe said.

Evan was silent and Zoe smiled.

"She's the size of an avocado now." Zoe said.

"How do you know it's a 'she'? It could be a boy." Evan said.

"Not an 'it'. The baby is going to be a girl. I can tell." Zoe said."

"My mother thought the same thing about me. Guess what? Not a girl." Evan said. Zoe giggled and Evan sat on the window nook beside her.

"So, if it is a girl, what are we naming her?" Evan asked. 

"Mallory." Zoe said almost instantly.

"It seems like you've thought about that a bit. Why Mallory?" Evan asked.

"I don't know. But it's the perfect name." Zoe said simply.

"And if it's a boy?" Evan asked.

"Our baby is not." Zoe said.

"But it could be." Evan reminded her. Zoe sighed.

"Fine. On the rare instance that our baby is a boy. I don't know what we'd name him." Zoe said.

"What about Ben?" Evan asked. Zoe smiled and nodded.

"I like Ben." Zoe said softly.

"Me too." Evan said.

"Now, how about I tear you away from the moon, and we get some dinner?" Evan asked.

"Can we have grilled cheese?" Zoe asked. Evan helped her up and kissed her.

"Of course we can."
