How Long is Forever? Part 1/3 of Chapter 9

"Well, I just hope that it'll be better than the last one I made."

"Don't worry, you're going to improve in time, you'll be like the Picasso of sculpting before you know it." Mara smiled at me as we spun our wheels.

"You know, are you sure you really don't mind teaching me privately? I mean I'm sure you've got other things to do after class, you have your own personal life." I asked as I looked down at my clay.

"Destiney, honey, don't worry about it, plus, my husband is still at the office and is never home when I get home. I also want to do a lot of this as much as possible cause it'll get harder in the future when I get bigger and after the baby comes, I'm gonna have to cater to him or her and won't have time to do this."

"What are you gonna name the baby?" I asked, looking up at her smiling face.

"You know, I really don't know. My husband has these names picked out and they're all like from his descendants so I'm like..uhhh, I don't knooow." She made a face at me.

"Come on, they can't be that bad, what are they?"

"Ok, so for the girl, he was thinking maybe Gertrude or Felicity which was both of his great Grandmas." I raised my eyebrows at this. "Yeah, I know...and for the boys, Morris and Adonis."

I took a deep breath and tried to fight back a giggle. "That's uh..uh.."

"You don't even have to finish your sentence." She said, giggling.
