Karen thinks her mun is too excited about her storyline.

Why are you wondering what I'm going to name the baby? I'm not even two months along yet! Although I do have a name picked out, provided Jack agrees with it and doesn't think it's weird.

I'm glad you're so interested, but don't get ahead of us. If this is anything like my first pregnancy...it could be hard, and painful. I don't want to count my chickens before they hatch.

Besides, you just said you're sick! We should be taking care of you. Let me get you a bowl of chicken soup or something. Less time worrying about me and Jack and more time taking care of yourself, missy.

They say the first one's always hardest, if that's any comfort. It was in my case, anyway.

[She shrugs.]

You could always get them to give you drugs for it. I heard they do that now.

[Settles down cross-legged on the floor and shifts the baby on her own shoulder.]

So what's the name you've picked out? This little one's Oliver.

I was thinking Christopher, after my late husband.

Though I'm not sure what my boyfriend will think of that.

[She smiles wide and soft. And cuddles her own baby.]

Christopher, huh? Well, that's a nice solid name. You can't get much better than a name like that.

Oooh, yeah. I can see where that would be awkward, though. I guess the question there is, how does your boyfriend feel about your late husband? Uh, not that it's any of my business, of course.

I don't know if he has an opinion. He knows, obviously and we've talked about how I feel a lot but not really what he feels.

[Have a tiny little two-month old sleeping boy offered over to hold? Meant as comfort, mostly. Although she is incredibly proud of her children and finds them the cutest things in the world, yes she does.]

Guess that's gonna be quite the conversation, then, huh?
