Eleanor chuckled, “Hailey just tried to name the baby, and he threw a fit, kicking and screaming. I thought something was wrong and was about to call the doctor, but as soon as Hailey said she’d pick a different name, he quieted down…”

Bernard propped himself up with one arm on the hospital bed, leaning in close to Eleanor, he lowered his head to gaze at the baby cradled in her arms. “What name did she come up with that he hates so much?”

The question was directed at Hailey, who was now the center of attention. With a shy glance at Bernard, she confessed, “Lovenor Laurence.”

As soon as the name left her lips, the baby resumed his protest, kicking his legs and crying as if his little heart was breaking. It was clear that to the baby, the name was more offensive than being called little damn or some other unflattering nickname.

Seeing that she had upset the little one again, Hailey quickly reached out, gently patting the baby’s belly, cooing, “Alright, alright, we won’t call you that. We’ll find you the most beautiful name later…”

Bernard, considering Hailey was Eleanor’s sister, decided to let it slide for now. “I’ll take care of the naming,” he declared confidently.

Pulling out his phone, Bernard scrolled through a list of names before showing a few to Eleanor. Each time she read one out loud, the baby would start his kicking and crying routine all over again.

Eventually, exhausted from crying, the baby just lay there, glaring with his little legs still and his tiny fists pumping in the air, babbling angrily as if cursing in an unintelligible baby language.

Both Eleanor and Hailey were stunned, but Bernard simply flicked the baby’s cheek with a finger, “Looks like this little guy is going to be quite the handful when he grows up.”
