Daddy, Chasing Mommy Back is On Us!

"Jude and Charles' son looks dashing. We have to come up with a nice name."

Pierre kept his silence, and the same went for Charles. In the end, the ladies were the ones who came up with the names, since the men's ideas were mooted every time. It took them a while, but the ladies eventually decided on the names. Jude named Selena's daughter as Aqua. Water was soothing and calming, and Jude wanted Selena's daughter to be as gentle as water.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

"What do you think?" Jude was proud about her naming sense. "I think Aqua's a nice name. Has a ring to it, don't you think? She's going to be your lucky star."

On the other hand, Selena froze up for a moment. "Um, this might be awkward."

"Why? What name did you come up with?" Jude stared at her.

"Ignis."

"Ignis?"

"Yeah. You're a star, so I want you to shine bright like the sun. And your son might end up being a celebrity, so I want him to shine bright too. It's for luck. And I hired a fortune teller to check his stars. Says he needs some spark in his name, so I thought 'fire' would do the trick."

"Ignis, huh?" Jude rubbed her chin. "What a great name!"

Selena smiled awkwardly. "As if. My daughter's Aqua, while your son is Ignis. Fire never goes well with water."

"Oh crap!" It was then Jude realized they messed up.

And then the men burst into laughter, especially Pierre, because he knew the real reason Selena came up with that name. Since there were five elements, Selena would name the boy with whatever element he needed in his name. If the boy needed a bit of wood, she'd name him Silva, and if he needed some metal, she'd name him Aurum. That was it. That was the logic behind Selena's naming. There wasn't any stupendous reason like what Jude came up with.

Immediately, the women shot them a glare, and Pierre stopped laughing, while Charles slowly stopped smiling.

"What are you laughing at? We asked for help, but you said no! The dad's supposed to be the one who comes up with the names, so don't you dare laugh!"

"Yeah! You know women get preoccupied with a lot of stuff when they have kids! All this brainstorming is supposed to be your work! And not only did you stay out of it, but you even laughed at us! How dare you!"

Their arms akimbo, the women were shooting death glares at the men.

Pierre did something either very brave or very stupid. He retorted, "We did try to name them, but you ladies kept saying no!"

"So you're saying it's our fault now?" Selena glared at him. "You're sleeping on the sofa tonight if you can't come up with a name for our kid!"

"And you!" Jude shot a dangerous look at Charles. "You thought I didn't notice your smile? I know you were holding it in!"

Charles was flabbergasted. But I didn't do anything? How is this my fault?

"Wow, life is hard." Pierre plopped down on the sofa.

"What did you say? I'm making life hard for you? Fine then! I'll move out."

And then the couple started arguing. Subsequently, Jude got riled up too, and she started fighting with Charles.

In the end, they decided to go with

the names they came up with. The Raffles' son would be called Ignis. It was a weird name, but they got used to it over time. On the other hand, the Fowlers' daughter was named Aqua. They would love for their daughter to grow up as a gentle soul.

As for their compatibility, well, that wasn't their parents' business anymore. If anything, it was down to the kids to settle any difference between them. And sure enough, the kids grew up annoyed at each other. Even though they didn't see each other much because they were living in different places, they'd tear each other down every time they met.

Would the kids end up as a couple? That would be a story for another time. For now, our heroes had finally gotten their happy ending.
