NOAH

Nineteen Weeks

Noah: Sarah?

Lucy:Sorry, wrong number

Noah:**eye roll**

Noah:I meant for a baby name.

Lucy:Gonna have to use a veto on that one.

Noah:What? Why? I’ve never met an unattractive Sarah.

Lucy:Oh, well then that’s definitely a reason to choose it

Lucy:That was sarcasm, in case it didn’t translate

Noah:Got it. Thanks.

Noah:But seriously, you don’t like Sarah? It’s a classic.

Lucy:Well, it just makes me think of Sarah Sutton from sixth grade.

Noah:And …?

Lucy:She was a bitch

Noah:That’s not a valid reason to rule it out!

Lucy:Oh, and your list of pretty Sarahs is a reason to rule it IN?

Noah:Fine, point taken.

Noah:No Sarah.

Lucy:No Sarah.

???

Lucy:What about Grant?

Noah:Grant Gardner? Not crazy about the alliteration.

Lucy:Who said the last name would be Gardner?

Noah:…typing

…typing

…typing

Lucy:Oh, don’t get your panties in a twist, I was just kidding!

Noah:Lucy, if you don’t want the baby to have my name we can absolutely discuss it.

Lucy:Relax, Noah, I do.
