People smile and tell me I'm a lucky one, and we've just begun.

Gobo seemed to be doing better after his near-breakdown over a week ago, and Mokey wanted to help continue that pattern. And in all honesty, keeping Gobo involved in all aspects of the pregnancy didn't just benefit him. It was fun, and heart-warming, to have him be as big a part of it as she was, whether they were planning for something major, or doing something small. Like now, when Gobo was massaging her sore back.

"Thank you so much, Gobo."

He was glad to be a greater part of this, particularly when it meant being that much closer to Mokey, physical and emotional. Smiling, he smoothed his hands over her back, pausing here and there to circle his thumbs against her muscles.

"Of course, Mokey. Happy to do it."

[thewisdomwithin]

She made a happy humming sound, letting her head lull to the side a bit. She wasn't sleepy, just extremely relaxed. "A little closer to my shoulders?" she requested in a happy sigh.

[gobetween]

"You got it." He slipped his hands up further, putting pressure behind them as he started massaging her shoulders.

[thewisdomwithin]

"Perfect... That helps so much," Mokey said with a smile. "Oh, Gobo, I wanted to ask you - Do you think we should start picking some names?"

[gobetween]

"Didn't we try that already?" He snickered lightly, smiling around at her. "I coulda sworn we came away with three pages of names. Of course, it was only one and a half before we asked Wembley, but..."

[thewisdomwithin]

"Well, yes, we did... But that's exactly it, we came up with so many!" she giggled. "Maybe it's time to narrow the list down a little."

[gobetween]

He laughed again and nodded some. "Yeah, alright. Did any catch your ear?"

[thewisdomwithin]

"They all sounded so beautiful, or sweet, or just plain interesting!" Mokey admitted. "But you know me. I love words. They're their own works of art."

She paused for a moment, thoughtful. "Teensi and Lont might be my favorites?"

[gobetween]

"Those are definitely some nice ones." He spent a few moments concentrating solely on the massage, before adding to her words. "I rather liked Snog and Dune, myself."

[thewisdomwithin]

"I do like those! Snog sounds gentle, and Dune is sort of... Mysterious and adventurous. But part of me just keeps thinking how silly it seems to name someone we can't see yet."

[gobetween]

"Well, these are only ideas right? We'll know when we see them." Another pause, then he chuckled faintly.

"Then again, my name was chosen before I was born."

[thewisdomwithin]

"That's true. Della told me recently that she had picked out her names for her children before they were hatched, and Lexi's was meant to be Rebel... None of them ended up with the same name." She shrugged, then nodded a little. "But I can't imagine you having any name besides Gobo... Nor can I imagine anyone else having the name, which is a little silly, all things considered."

[gobetween]

He laughed some at that. "You didn't know Great-Uncle Gobo. Though, neither did I... But Uncle Matt suggested I get his name, and it stuck."
