Your little hand's wrapped around my finger And it's so quiet in the world tonight

Zavien's fervent words made Soh's heart flutter in her chest, and she smiled almost shyly at her boyfriend's devotion. While she could have argued that she, in fact, was the luckier of the two of them, she knew better than to start an argument that she wouldn't win. The fact of the matter was that they each considered themselves the luckier of the pair, and they each believed that with all their heart. They wouldn't be able to convince the other, and perhaps there was no need; perhaps they were all fortunate in their family, and that was enough.

Anani and Sol joined the group, seemingly just as delighted as their humans to feel the baby move. Giggling, Soh reached out to stroke each companion gently, scratching heads or chins as preferred. "Speak for yourself," she joked. "She'll always be 'little love' to me." Still, Zavien had a point. They had yet to decide on a name, and now that they were growing closer and closer to meeting her, it seemed like something they should discuss.

"I've thought of a few," she said, sighing. "But none feel right, you know? I want something unique, but not ridiculous, and it'd be nice if it was meaningful. Maybe if it honored Safrin somehow, since she's the one who told me about the pregnancy... maybe if it was star-related? Or maybe that's a bit too much, and I'm overthinking it."
