"Yes." Vera nodded and said, "We have already discussed it. We will let you both take care of the children. Also, about the names of the children, we haven't thought of good names yet. Quill meant to ask you two's opinion about it."
"Naming them?" Mabie and David looked at each other and then looked back at Quill.
"We'll leave it to you to name them," David said in a deep voice, "After all, a child's name will stay with him for a lifetime, so it's considered a big deal. We can help you take care of them, but we can't be dictating their name."
"Dad, that's not what I meant. We want to discuss about it with you and Mom."
Mabie immediately said, "Why don't you understand? Do you not think about how your name ends up sounding like this? It's all because your father and I are not very good at picking names. I just picked one at random at that time. If you ask us to give you names for the children, they won't be very good names."
Hearing that, the corner of Vera's mouth helplessly twitched.
Her father awkwardly stopped Mabie as she said
that.
"Don't make it sound as if we don't have much knowledge. As for the names, it's better for you two to choose them."
How could David be not knowledgeable? He was a graduate from a famous university back then, but it was just that he wasn't interested in words, so he chose a name that was simple and easy.
Anyway, for him, names were just codes.
He could name his daughter as he liked, but his two grandchildren then were different. They were the children of Quill and his daughter. It was better to let them name them.
Vera still wanted to say something, but Quill grabbed her hand.
"Since you have said so, I will name them."
In the dead of the night, Vera nestled in her husband's arms and asked while tugging at his T-shirt.
"Have you thought of a name for the kids?"
"I will leave it to you to name them."
"Huh?" Vera was confused when she heard that. He had clearly stated that he would name them when they were having dinner. Why was the duty on her then?
"You gave birth to the children after great hardships. Of course, you are the most suitable one to name them. You can call them anything you want." He pinched her nose.
That was the quietest day for the two since the birth of their children.
In the past, when they slept with the two children in the same room, they would deliberately lower their voices when talking, for fear of waking up one of them.
As the two children were not in the room then, they didn't need to purposely lower their voices when talking anymore as it was only the two of them. The room was quiet and peaceful too.
She really missed that kind of feeling which she had not felt for a long time.
Vera kicked his leg under the quilt and said in a low voice, "Aren't you afraid of me giving them random names, and let the Hanover family's children end up having names that don't sound nice?"
"It doesn't matter if it doesn't sound nice. They're our children anyway."
Vera blinked her eyes and started thinking of names on the spot.
While she was pondering over different names, Quill did not say anything to disturb her thoughts.
He had originally thought that she would be able to think of two names right away that night.
Unexpectedly, after a few minutes, the soft, long and even breathing of Vera came from within his arms.
He looked down. Sure enough, she had fallen asleep. When she fell asleep, her hands were still grabbing his collar. She looked like she was feeling insecure.
She fell asleep while trying to conjure up names.
Did she seriously think about it or not?
However, they were not in a hurry to name the children. They could just take their time. Quill tugged her in and then pulled her into his arms. Then, he closed his eyes and fell asleep too.
When he woke up the next day, Vera was already awake. She was lying beside him and watching him as he slept.
Seeing him opening his eyes, she eagerly said, "I thought of the names. Let's name them Santiago and Santino. What do you think?"
"Santiago and Santino?"
They sounded pretty good.
"Is there any special meaning behind them?" Quill had already tacitly approved of those two names, so he just asked casually.
After all, he thought that there should be a special reason for the two names.
Vera's expression changed slightly as she pouted and said, "If I said that I just thought of these two names as they have a good ring to it, would you think that I was too shallow?"
Upon hearing that, the corners of his thin lips curled slightly.
"No, I told you to choose. So, you can name them whatever you like. Santiago and Santino, they sound very good."
"Does that mean that you would agree?"Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
"Well, Santiago and Santino sound good."
"Okay, those will be their names then. I'll tell my parents later."
After that, Vera told David and Mabie the names. They had no objections, so their names were fixed.
When Quill went to deal with the household register for them, he saw his name, Vera's name and the two children's names on the Hanover family's household register.
His heart seemed to be filled with a warm sensation, and his chest felt warm too.
In the future, he would no longer be alone. Apart from his sister, he had his own family and three closest family members.
After the names were confirmed, Vera would call out their names when she played with them.
The older boy was Santiago, and Vera gave him a nickname, Tiago. The younger boy, Santino, was nicknamed Tino.
Vera kept calling out their nicknames happily.
When everything was settled, Vera thought of Sam, who sent her to the hospital that day.
At that time, everything was too
sudden. She didn't say a word to him
then. When she recalled what had
happened that day then as everything was resolved, she felt that she had indeed gone too far.
Hence, she bought a gift and went to Sam's house.
She and Ollie had already become good friends, so when Olivia opened the door and saw her, she was quite happy.
"Why did you suddenly come here? You should have texted me in advance!"
After Olivia welcomed her in, she wanted to close the door, but Vera quickly stopped her. "I'll do it. It's inconvenient for you to do a lot of things now because your belly is so big."
Then, Vera closed the door for Olivia, changed her shoes, and went in with her.
"It's about time for you to give birth, right?"
Olivia nodded. "Well, the due date is
soon, but it's also just an estimated date. I don't know if I will give birth before that or if I will be overdue. Now, I'm just staying at home every day. Since you came here today, do you want to go out for a walk with me?"
After listening to her, Vera looked at her bulging belly with concern and rejected her hesitantly, "I think we should forget about it. You have big belly now and you will get tired if
you are out and have to walk for a long time. It's better to stay at home atease. We'll hang out after you've given birth."
