Adamina!
"Please don't pray for triplets."

Tim shut the door behind himself after he and his wife (ha, wife, that was still such a startling concept to him, one that he loved), returning from a visit to her brother's place. The triplets were due in about a month, but it would be a lie if Tim thought Madeleine was going to make it that far. Plus, the idea of actually having three kids at once instead of the terrifying thought of just one was enough to put him into a daze, so he hoped that Adamina didn't carry the gene or whatever it was to conceive multiples.

He hung his coat onto the hanger, disappearing into the living room for a moment to retrieve his journal. Ryan had been incredibly antsy and Tim had made it a habit to regularly check for updates about Audrey and the baby. Babies seemed to be taking over the world, and Tim wasn't sure what to make of it. He and Adamina hadn't exactly discussed children, but he knew that the idea was there. At least--he wasn't sure if he was ready, and he couldn't quite figure out where Addy stood.

"Not that three kids would be bad," he said, returning and flipping through the journal and sitting at the counter of the counter, "Just, all at once--Nick's a tough bloke."

Mina laughed at Tim when he told her not to pray for triplets. Truth be told, she was petrified of having kids at all, though the thought of having more than one at once was sort of romantic. She knew once the two of them were married, this topic would come up eventually, though she didn't know how soon or how exactly to go about it. It was literally a baby boom going on around them. Everyone was having kids.

"Not even twins?" She called after him as he disappeared for a minute. Adamina smiled at his return and watched as he flipped through pages. "I actually don't think I could handle having more than one, to be honest with you. One for starters at least," she said, looking up as she thought about how many kids she actually wanted. One sounded simple, two or three wouldn't be unwanted, but eventually a handful. And then it dawned on her that they were actually having a baby discussion.

A smile crept onto her features and she leaned against the nearest wall. "I want a girl."

Tim's head shot up, his eyes having been scanning an entry about dressing up Ludo Bagman in a frock. He would definitely help out his mate if need be, but this conversation he was having with Adamina seemed to be a bit more important.

"Why does that not surprise me?" he asked with a smile, swiveling the stool, looking thoughtful. "A girl would be nice, though, I think."

He knew his mother's life with two twin boys had been rough; Tim rarely thought about Richard these days, something he felt guilty about. His twin had died nearly ten years ago, and memories of his childhood were quickly fading. Part of him wanted to go home and revive them, but the other didn't want to dwell in the past, even though...well, it wouldn't be a bad thing.

"And what shall we name said girl?" Tim asked, putting his thoughts away, swinging his chair around a bit more and leaning back into the counter. He stretched his foot to move a magnet a bit further up on the fridge, waiting for Mina's answer.

Taking a seat next to Tim, Adamina just smiled, thinking a bit about different things pertaining to children. Did she really want a girl? Did she think she was ready? Another smile was given when Tim said a girl would be nice. He was right, a girl would be nice.

A content sigh was given as she leaned back. Being married and having kids was something Mina had dreamed about all her life, and now it was happening. She wasn't terribly surprised by it, obviously, but she was still getting used to the fact that it was final. Plus, she was in love and that was more important than anything else.

And back to the name business. What sounded like a good name? "I don't know, what do you think would sound decent?" she questioned, watching him use his feet as if they were hands. A small laugh escaped her mouth and she shook her head. "Should it be something new, or something kept in the family?" A lot of people were doing that, and at times she questioned if perhaps her child was supposed to be named after a grandparent, but she wasn't sure.

Tim pursed his lips lightly in thought, dropping his head back before turning to get a look at his wife. It would be a lie to say that he hadn't put much thought into their children; Tim had been infatuated with Adamina for far more than a year, now, and those thoughts just happened. Though, one thing was always clear,

"We're going to have to come up with plenty of girl names, I think," Tim said with a grin, sitting up and swiveling to face her, "And with a traditional name like Timothy, and a somewhat unique one like Adamina...well..."

He pursed his lips once more, eyes looking up to the ceiling for a moment. "A traditional first name, and then a crazy middle name, to throw people for a loop. But not too ridiculous. But maybe a little. It gives them character."

The last of what Tim said made Adamina laugh. Traditional would be very proper in their families, and something to throw each side for a loop as a middle name would be even better. "We could name her after your mum?" she asked, just throwing a suggestion out. Girl names wasn't exactly her forte, so finding something traditional and a bit crazy ... well, thank Merlin for Tim.

"So something crazy, but not too crazy, but crazy enough to throw people off? Where do you come up with this?" She laughed again and crossed her legs, swiveling in her own chair for a bit while she though. "Lorel--Eh, I don't like that name. I don't know. What if we have a boy?"
