Chapter 89 - A Name For Their First Child

David lay next to Angeline after their bed game which had lasted nearly three hours. David briefly kissed Angeline on the forehead and lay beside her. Angeline looked so tired that she closed her eyes even though she didn't sleep.

The two of them were breathing completely roaring, and it was unlikely that they would return to their normal breathing tempo anytime soon.

David changed his sleeping position to his side, while supporting his head with his bent left arm and turning it into a pillow. David looked at Angeline's tired face, which he thought was no less attractive than Angeline's sleeping face.

Even if David had to be honest, Angeline's tired face was dozens of times more attractive than her sleeping face. Or he could say, sexier.

But suddenly there was a thought that he somehow wanted to put it into words.

"What kind of name do you want to give for our child?"

Angeline, who had closed her eyes, opened them slowly, turned and looked back at David's eyes. "It depends, later the baby will be born a boy or a girl."

"If the baby is born as a girl?"

Angeline thought for a moment, and David patiently waited for her.

"Mmm… if the baby is born as a girl, I want a name that seems elegant, but also strong. In that sense, she will be a beautiful and strong girl in going through life's trials, no matter how tough it is."

David frowned at Angeline's answer. "Why do you think that our child will face life's heavy burdens?"

Angeline also rounded her eyes. Again, an expression full of guilt resumed there. "I don't mean to offend your life, I've also had some sad life experiences. I know, not only you, but I also won't let that happen to our child. But despite all that, we can't predict anything that will happen in our child's life in the future. And I want, when the time comes, our children will be strong children and will be strong in any condition. "

David smiled, gently stroked Angeline's face to get rid of traces of guilt, which, although it did not diminish Angeline's beauty in the slightest, still made David's heart feel bad. "Okay, I understand. It's okay."

"But," said Angeline hanging, which made David wait for what the next word would be said by the girl he loved so much. "I also want our child to have a simple character, in the sense that she will be happy even with small things, so that she can grow up to be a person who is good at being grateful for whatever is valuable to her."

David nodded in agreement with Angeline's wish. "Then, what kind of name do you want?"

"If it's a girl … maybe, Bella?"

"Bella?" asked David with reassurance.

"Yep. Bella means beautiful. And for her last name… hmm… Kenward?"

"Kenward? Sounds like a boy's name."

Angeline pursed her lips. The expression Angeline showed even made David feel that it was very cute and wanted to gently kiss those seductive lips. But David realized, if he did, the things they would continue next would not stop with a light lip kiss, because they were naked, both David and Angeline would both feel a desire that would make them repeat what they just finished doing; super-sexy bed's game.

"Not really." protested Angeline. "Try combining the two names, Bella Kenward. Doesn't sound like a boy's name, does it?"

"That's right. So, Bella Kenward?"

Angeline smiled, " ... Stockholm."

"Stockholm? Are you going to use that name?"

Angeline changed her expression, it seemed that what she was going to say had a deep meaning. David, who realized it, was silent and waited for Angeline to let out the contents from her mind.

"I know, Stockholm is a name that is very feared in the world you once lived in. But, what I remember, that name is the name given to your adoptive father who has died. I see you love and respect your adoptive father even though he is gone, so I guess the name is both a gift and the best gift you have ever received from him. For proof, you are using the name Stockholm as the name of the company you are currently running."

David thought for a moment. What was hard for David to believe was, Angeline realized that too. Realizing why until now David still keeps the name Stockholm. Because Stockholm is not just a name that seems dashing and intimidating, but Stockholm is the name his adoptive father gave him, and also maybe the name David Stockholm is the only gift he can keep until now from his late adoptive father, the former boss of the mafia who is most feared and also respected at that time, Hendrick Brasco.

However, David is still not completely sure about giving their son the last name 'Stockholm'. Because, although that name is quite feared in the Underworld, it is possible that it will also bring something unexpected to them in the future. Because, no one can predict what will happen in the Underworld.

No matter how scary the name was, people could just use it as the weakness of the David family. It's not that David doesn't want people to know his childs because of the last name he gave for them, however, before David can completely control the situation in the Underworld, David won't let his guard down even just a little.

"Then, how about a boy?"

"Don't you want to give him a name? I decide the name if the baby born is a girl. But, I want you to name it if the baby born is a boy." asked Angeline back. After all, David was the father, so he also deserved to give him a name.

David thought for a moment. "I think his name should be something that means handsome."

"Only handsome?"

David smiled, "Of course not, I'm not done yet."

"Oh, okay, go on." said Angeline who let David continue what he wanted to say.

"Hmm ... and I want that child to be a symbol of our love."

"You mean, you want a combination of my name and yours? Isn't that a pretty old thing?"

David looked at Angeline, seemingly wanting to make his protest. "Old fashioned? I don't think there's a word 'old' to express love."

"It's because you're kind of 'bucin'."

"Bucin?"

"Yeah, bucin. I saw it from the posts of Asian celebrities, or maybe more precisely from Indonesia. They often write the word 'bucin' in their captions, and bucin stands for 'Budak-Cinta', that means Slave-Love, a slave for love. Like, someone who got overacted for everything about love." Angeline explained, and David only listened without trying to listen deeper, because basically David is not really interested in cyberspace or what is commonly called social media.

"I don't mind being called a slave to love, because I really—"

"Stop it ... I know that the continuation of that super cheesy line is, because I am indeed a slave to your love. I don't want you to become a slave, understand?"

David only smiled at Angeline's sudden expression. "Fine, so I'll just name it if the baby is born as a boy."

Now Angeline was really waiting for what David would say. It was more thrilling than the elimination round of American Got Talents, or more tense than when Bella kissed Edward on the lips for the first time in Twilight movie.

"Adonis … " David paused for a moment. "Daveline Stockholm."

Wait a minute.

Isn't that name too predictable?

Adonis, which means handsome.

Daveline is a combination of the names David and Angeline, Dave-Line.

And Stockholm … there's no need to elaborate, because they both really understand what the name means.

David could see that Angeline looked quite surprised. "So, it's predictable, huh?"

Angeline also let go of a little laugh that she had been trying to endure all along. "I just found out that you are a very 'straight' person in giving a name, especially the name for our first child."

"If you don't like it, we can think of another name."

"There's no need for that." interrupted Angeline quickly. "I like that name too. Besides, you have to give our baby a name too, not just me."

"So, we have agreed, if the baby who is born is a girl, the name will be Bella Kenward Stockholm, and if the baby is a boy, then the name will be Adonis Daveline Stockholm."

Angeline smiled, her eyes filled with tears, making David also feel the happiness that was being felt by Angeline. "Yep, Bella, and Dave."

David also gently stroked Angeline's face. "Whoever is born, whether it's Bella or Dave, I promise I will make them feel very loved by their parents."

"But, I don't want our children to be spoiled children. As much as possible, I want them to be children who have a sense of responsibility and can solve their problems well."

David grinned broadly, with intentions that Angeline had not known. "Children? So you want more than one child?"

"Why do you ask like that? Of course we don't know in the future we will still have another child or not."

"Alright." David said in a hanging tone, making Angeline frown.

"How many children do you want?"

Hearing Angeline ask such questions, made David show a combination of fingers that was strange enough to form the number of three, it was two index fingers and one middle finger.

"Three?" said Angeline trying to guess, but David gave a head shake which made Angeline even more confused.

And after a while of not getting an answer from David, Angeline immediately rounded her eyes perfectly when she realized what David meant.

"What?! Are you crazy? No! There's no way I can give birth to twelve children!"

"Why not? Our financial condition is even more than enough to support twenty more children for their whole lifetime."

"Hey, I'm human too, not a child making machine!"

David just chuckled, while Angeline still pursed her lips.

David really likes to tease Angeline, because the expression Angeline always shows whenever David teases her looks very cute.

David felt very fortunate to have such a beautiful and adorable wife like Angeline.
