We waited for a few seconds. Then - a kick. It was a strong one.
"She's strong, just like her mother."
We were quiet, just sitting with his hand on my belly and our daughter moving between us.
"Names," he said. "Have you thought about any?"
"A few. Emma, Grace, or Sophia."
"What about Rose? After Rose Fisher. She helped us, you know. She risked a lot to give us information on Charles."
Rose. I considered it. "Rose Katherine Marvin."
Tony smiled. "Perfect."
Wait, I'm thinking out loud. "Marvin? She'll have your last name?"
"She's my daughter. Of course, she'll have my name."
"I didn't agree to that-"
"Katherine, she's a Marvin. That's reality, whether you like it or not."
I stood up, angry. "This is exactly what I was afraid of. You making decisions without me!"
"It's her last name, not a life-altering decision!"
"It ties her to your family, your legacy, and your enemies. Every person who has a grudge against the Marvins will know she's one of you!"
