“May I know your name?” He looked at me with a slight surprise in his eyes. "I’m Mizuki Ishikawa." “Mizuki?” I asked him. “So, that means you are Japanese.” “Why? Do I look Korean to you?” He smirked. “Well, surprise. Because I am not.” I smiled as his name lingered on my lips, “Mizuki.”

“Why doesn’t she like anyone to call her by her real name?” “Huh?” Then Jane laughed, wondering why her friend was so interested in Ms. Ruka, the famous Japanese stylist who had changed her name from Jiro Tanaka to Haruka Tanaka.

The children sat with unusual seriousness while May lowered herself comfortably into a chair. “All right,” Damien said. “Let’s hear the ideas.” Aria raised her hand like she was in school. “I think her name should be something pretty and soft. Like... Bella. Or Lily. Or Angel.” Aiden immediately shook his head. “No. She should have a strong name. Like Zara. Or Nova. Or Captain.” May laughed so suddenly she had to hold her stomach. Damien covered his grin with his hand. “Captain?” he repeated. “For confidence,” Aiden said.

Reiner murmured as if deep in thought. I wasn’t surprised that he didn’t have any good ideas for names. Even for the boys, Reiner didn’t have any solid ideas that would seem to work. In the end, I was so happy that I came up with Ryder and Lance. Honestly, I didn’t care if other people didn’t like their names. I loved it and they are my sons, so it was right for me to name them. Period. “I have a few names in mind actually. Something like Dahlia, Melody, or Anastasia…” I voiced my options proudly.

Now and then, the ultrasound result would get passed on from one table to another, a few already suggesting names. "I want her to be Autumn," Kamila suggested from the Henderson's table. "Why does it have to be A? How about Harper!" Maxine, one of Wendell's daughters, said. "What about a strong name like Maeve," Reese proposed. Next to Lily and Lucas, Amara proposed, "Zhuri means love and beautiful." "Oh, boy," Lily said under her breath. "It's going to be hard to choose a name. We are going to break some hearts here."

Suzu barked once. "Right. So something gender-neutral. Cool. Modern. Perhaps a little magical." I pulled out my notepad from under the coffee table. "River? Sky? Nova? Orion? Riley? Phoenix? You like any of those?" Suzu barked again at Phoenix. "Okay, so we like fiery rebirth energy. Noted." I made a note.

That life is in the past.” I chuckled. “Okay, fine. What about Luca?” She considered it, then nodded. “Luca is nice.” I grinned. “Good. One down. Now, if it’s a girl…” I paused, thinking. “Isabella?”

The place was candlelit and already smelled like heaven. He pulled my chair out for me, sat across the table, and didn’t stop smiling. “So, name ideas?” I laughed, sipping the mocktail they placed in front of me. “Already? We just found out.” “Yes. Because I want to be prepared. Boy or girl. No cliches. Something strong.” “You mean like Titan or something?” He laughed. “No! I mean something elegant but meaningful. What about Layla?” “I like Layla.” “Or Elias for a boy. You know, something that sounds like he could be CEO at birth.”
