A Dark Alley and a Bad Idea

I stared at them unable to say a single word.

“We make beautiful babies, don’t we?”

I looked up to see Myla, she looked exhausted but she still had a smile on her face.

“Are the adoptive parents here?”

She shook her head, “They’ll be here in the morning, my mom called them right after she called you.”

“We have the whole night with them.”

“You know how we used to talk about baby names and we could never agree?”

“Yeah,” I said with a small laugh.

“Let’s agree on them now.”

I looked at her with availed eyebrow, “I thought the adoptive parents were going to name them.”

“I want us to name them, even if they don’t keep the names at least we cared enough to name them.”

I nodded seeing the tears forming in her eyes.

“What were you thinking?”

“Something different, I don’t know. This was a stupid idea.”

“Winona and Mika”

She looked at me and started crying, “I like that.”
