After returning to their room in the evening, Gabrielle lay down on the bed and chatted with Mia after taking a shower. She wanted to invite her to dinner. She had a very simple plan, which was to ask them to come to Half Moon Bay directly. They could have dinner, chat, drink, and have barbecue there. More importantly, she wanted them to meet Star.
Star would feel ecstatic to see so many people around him.
Gabrielle had considered this thoroughly.
"Who are you chatting with?" Westley had just come back from the study and went straight to bed. He leaned against Gabrielle and pulled her into his arms.
"I was chatting with Mia. I thought it'd be a great idea to invite them to dinner after the holiday. I'd like for us to host it in Half Moon Bay. That way, Star can get to know them. The more people, the merrier it will be. We can also ask Tammy to come here. It would be great for the two children in the same age to play together. Do you think Tammy would love it?" Gabrielle explained her intentions, wanting her husband's approval.
Somehow, she was worried that Tammy and Star wouldn't like hanging out with each other. Girls and boys were different from each other.
"Tammy is very kind to almost everything and she likes beautiful things. Star is so good-looking, how can she not like him?" Westley smiled.
Hearing this, Gabrielle immediately understood what he meant. "You mean, Tammy is partial to good-looking people, right?"
"You could say that. Anyway, she likes beautiful boys and girls. You don't have to worry about her not liking Star. When Tammy comes, let them play together so it will help Star loosen up and recover faster," Westley said.
Children are often social and would not have any problems interacting with each other. He didn't need to worry at all.
"Mm-hmm. Okay, I've already thought about Star's formal name. How does Antares Morris sound? Because he shines brightly like the stars above, and it's close to his nickname too." Gabrielle looked at Westley and anticipated his answer.
She had spent a lot of time and energy thinking of the best formal name that would suit a beautiful boy like Star. If she could get Westley's approval, then everyone would like it as well.
"Antares Morris. It's perfect. You are amazing on choosing this name, it is truly fitting for Star. Sure enough, you will be a very qualified mother. It has a nice ring to it, and I'm sure Star will love it." Westley thought it was a beautiful name after hearing it the first time.
"I hope he does." Hearing Westley's words, Gabrielle breathed a sigh of relief.
The next morning, Gabrielle went to Star's room to check on him. He was still asleep when she came. But Gabrielle was startled when Star suddenly woke up before she even reached the edge of the bed. She wasn't sure if it was because she startled him or he was about to wake up.
"Good morning, mommy!" Star greeted Gabrielle cheerfully when he saw her.
"Good morning, sweetie. Did you have a good night's sleep?" Gabrielle sat on the edge of the bed and asked Star.
"Yes, I slept well." Star smiled.
"Star, I already thought of a formal name for you. You would go by the name 'Antares Morris' from now on. Do you like it? I wish for you to glow and shine like the stars in the night sky. Always, till the end of time," Gabrielle explained, wanting her child to understand the meaning of his name.
Westley happened to come in
and translated for Star. After hearing it, Star joyfully nodded. "Antares Morris, I like this name."
"Then, it's official. It will be your name starting today." Gabrielle was overflowing with joy. She had been worried that Star wouldn't like this name, but since he accepted it, she had nothing to worry about.
Westley carried Star to the bathroom. Meanwhile, Gabrielle sent Mia a message, asking her to come over for dinner. She also noted that she was going to introduce a lovely child to her.
