Aimee said, “Not yet. Grandpa said he’s going to get them.”
Speaking of this, Aimee couldn’t help but feel a bit amused and frustrated.
During this period, she had been comforting Patrick due to his emotional issues, and had never really cared about naming things.
Anyway, when everyone came over, they all called them “little babies” and “little sweeties” with a careful and affectionate tone, as if these two terms of endearment had already become the names of these two little ones.
As a result, Camdyn came up with names and asked them to choose. As soon as Patrick saw the names that Camdyn had come up with, his face turned ugly.
After all, they were old-fashioned names that had a strong sense of the past century’s 1930s and
1940s. This made Patrick very angry because their four siblings’ names were not bad at all, but when it came to his son and daughter, Camdyn chose such unacceptable names.
However, it was understandable since their grandmother had chosen the names for their four siblings without giving any room for Camdyn to participate in naming them. Therefore, he felt very upset about this matter now that he had great-grandchildren, because he wanted to have control over naming them.
Naturally, Patrick disagreed firmly and believed that he should be the one who named his own children.
Now they were arguing fiercely over this matter while watching their children approaching one month of age without even having decided on proper names yet.
Aimee wasn’t worried at all since her naming skills were just as good as those of Camdyn’s. As long as she didn’t have to deal with this matter herself, she was happy for both of them to continue bickering.
Mikayla was completely unaware of this story until after remaining silent for quite some time. Then, she finally couldn’t help but say something, “My brother-in-law is really childish.”
Casey said, “I have to speak up for my brother. It’s not him being childish but rather our grandfather’s poor naming skills that are truly unbearable! Look at these two beautiful babies – James and Mary- how out-of-place do they sound?”
Mikayla remained speechless upon hearing Casey’s words since there wasn’t much else left unsaid about these names except feeling sorry for the two little ones.
“What about your husband’s choice? Are there any nice-sounding ones?” Mikayla asked innocently.
Upon hearing her question again, Aimee sighed along with Casey simultaneously once more before saying, “Haha… Patrick loves me too much so he chooses names like Ashlee or Harlee just in case people don’t know my real name.”
Mikayla remained speechless once again upon hearing Aimee’s response, which only added more confusion than clarity regarding what would be suitable choices given everyone’s preferences.
This kind of name may be relatively popular when she was in kindergarten, and there were a few classmates whose names were like this.
Mikayla said, “I didn’t know he’s so old-fashioned.”
Aimee and Casey were both feeling very troubled.
Now, the Hayden family had nothing else to worry about except for naming their babies, which had become a top priority.
Patrick and Camdyn were completely unwilling to let anyone else have a say in the matter. They were determined to have everyone choose between their two camps and see who would support them.
Walter and Miles were both incredibly cunning. They each led their own wives to choose one of the two camps in perfect harmony. Walter chose Camdyn’s camp while Miles chose Patrick’s camp.
Originally, this was all planned out by Walter and Miles as it was the most convenient way for them. But who would have thought that even though it seemed like everything was going smoothly, they still managed to offend people?
Camdyn only spoke with Walter while Patrick only spoke with Miles. Every time Casey tried to take a side, she received death stares from one party or another.
So she cleverly made another choice – she wanted to contend for the right of naming the babies along with those two men!
This infuriated Camdyn and Patrick. No one tried coaxing her anymore but they ordered others not to take sides with Casey either.
Casey didn’t really care about naming but she knew that no matter what happened, it wasn’t up to her anyway. However, at least she could think about what names her baby could possibly be given, even though its gender wasn’t known yet.
This made Casey feel somewhat disappointed because she also wished for twins! But having twins was already such an unlikely event, so after feeling down for a little bit, she just moved on from it all.
After hearing Aimee and Casey talk about their current situation, Mikayla didn’t know how exactly should react either – whether or not worry over these little ones or join in on this chaotic battle just because…
But soon enough, Mikayla was forced into making a decision when both Camdyn and Patrick showed up at the center at once.
During this period of time, Aimee, in order to work well every day for a period of time, asked Patrick to stay out of the center during her work. Otherwise, this guy will worry too much again.
Patrick was very obedient to Aimee, especially since he had been engaged in a naming war with
Camdyn and hadn’t stayed at the center. Now, Patrick and Camdyn had arrived at the center together, each carrying their chosen names to show Aimee so she could choose two.
As soon as they entered the room, they saw Mikayla.
This made both of them very happy.
Almost immediately, they rushed over and invited Mikayla to join their respective teams.
Mikayla was struck dumb.
To be honest, she really didn’t want to get involved in this battle. It was just too weird.
Camdyn said, “Mikayla, I treat you pretty well normally right? You can’t be biased.”
Mikayla couldn’t help but feel a little speechless. Did he use the affection to her?
But it wasn’t entirely Camdyn’s fault. After his battle with Patrick during this time period, Camdyn realized that he didn’t have any advantages when it came to naming. It was only because he was their grandfather that these young people were forced to support him.
However, after every match ended in a tie with Patrick, Camdyn finally understood that his chosen names weren’t really advantageous at all.
Eden and their other friends constantly went back and forth between homes and the center all day long out of fear of being pulled into one side or another by either party.
If things continued like this, then there would be no doubt that he would lose for sure.
Patrick didn’t need such tactics though, confidently saying, “Mikayla, you’re free to choose whatever name you like.”
Seeing Patrick’s self-assured expression made Mikayla feel somewhat helpless. The names Patrick had chosen were just too deeply ingrained in everyone’s minds, so she couldn’t understand why Patrick would be so confident about his choices.
But without much else being said on her part, Mikalya decided on becoming an objective judge instead.
As if possessed by some sort of drama queen, Mikalya said, “Can I have the power to make a final decision?”
This statement was what just Patrick and Camdyn wanted because the issue surrounding choosing names had dragged on for far too long now. If only someone could come along now and solve everything once and for all, that would certainly make everyone happy.
After Mikayla got everyone’s consent, she took over the notebooks filled with names from Camdyn and
Patrick.
Upon seeing what were written on the notebooks, Mikayla was almost startled.
These two were simply taking the matter of choosing names too seriously.
The notebook was almost full of names, and turning from the first page almost dazzled her eyes.
Mikayla even felt that she was a little illiterate.
However, she was suddenly moved.
Especially in Camdyn’s notebook, he made a progress in his naming, from James and Mary at the beginning, to Ridge and Rosemary now.
However, Patrick had also made great progress.
However, when Mikayla looked ahead, she was still stunned by their affection.
It was only at this moment that she realized that what Casey had said about Ashlee and Harlee was already very mild.
These names can almost be merged into a love letter to Aimee.
Fortunately, the names Patrick chose later became a little more normal.
If they were still the same, Mikayla will really go ballistic.
After carefully reading it three times, Mikayla finally said with a final word, “I personally support Ridge and Rosemary, the simplest and most meaningful.”
Camdyn simply jumped up from the sofa happily.
He patted Mikayla on the back and said, “Mikayla, you are really a good girl.”
After speaking, Camdyn directly made a provocative expression towards Patrick.
This battle that lasted for several days finally ended with the victory of Camdyn.
Patrick originally wanted to apply, but his precious wife expressed her opinion, “I also think Ridge and
Rosemary are very good.”
His wife had spoken, so what else can Patrick say? He can only accept it obediently.
The names of the two little ones in the Hayden family were finally decided, and everyone was overjoyed with the news. With this settled, they all came back together again.
Camdyn was angry when he saw these kids. He made them stand in line as if it were some kind of impossible task. But now that the names had been decided by Camdyn himself, he couldn’t be happier.
So he didn’t bother with them anymore.
Now Camdyn was like a child in a candy store, grinning from ear to ear with excitement.
Eden poked Patrick’s chest and said, “I thought you could win for sure. How did you lose?”
Patrick glanced at him but didn’t say anything. In fact, although Patrick really wanted to have the power to name his own children, during this time when he and Camdyn were competing for naming rights, it was intentional on his part.
As a new father himself now, Patrick had become more aware that Camdyn was getting older every day. Many times he seemed like a child himself – hence why they called him an old kid sometimes –
which made it hard for Patrick to accept.
Even though there were two doctors in their family home who can help take care of him if needed, many times people didn’t have any control over certain situations or things happening around them, no matter how much experience or knowledge they may possess about certain things.
So he was willing to cooperate with Camdyn and let him win something just so that it would make him happy, because seeing his grandfather happy meant more than anything else at this point.
However, Patrick didn’t plan on telling anyone about these thoughts, because now that the names of their two little ones had been decided upon, they could start preparing for their full-month banquet celebration instead!
It was Camydn who facilitated his marriage to Aimee, and Patrick was very averse to the marriage at that time.
As a result, they didn’t have a wedding at all.
In retrospect, Patrick felt deeply indebted to Aimee.
Unfortunately however, despite multiple attempts made by Patrick trying persuade Aimee into agreeing upon organizing one such event, she remained indifferent towards such ideas altogether, leaving poor guy feeling helpless once again.
This had also led to the fact that the Hayden family had had so many happy occasions, but none of them had been properly celebrated.
