The mood in the ward suddenly became tense after the family discussion. They might have a solution for now, but it was still unsettling to know the baby had this particular blood type.
“All right, let’s not talk about this," Henry Armstrong's mother said. "What’s the child’s name? Have you thought of one?”
“I have a decent name in mind,” her husband told them, drawing the younger couple's curious gazes.
Henry and Georgie Clementine had come up with the baby’s name long ago, but they still wanted to hear his suggestion if he had one.
It would be meaningful to use his suggested name if they all liked it. He would surely be happy with that.
“What do you think about the name Landon Armstrong?”
“Not bad," Henry's mother said thoughtfully. "If they have a daughter in the future, we can call her Melinda. Landon and Melinda are such beautiful names.”
Georgie and Henry both liked the name more than their initial choice.
“Okay, I like it. Let’s go with Landon,” Georgie instantly said after hearing the suggestion.
Her husband nodded, too. “I agree, but forget about having a granddaughter. We aren't planning to have any more children.”
“Why?” his mother instantly questioned.
“I don’t want my wife to go through such pain again,” he answered truthfully. “I don’t want her to experience the same thing twice.”
She was never against having a second child before this but now found herself resisting the idea after suffering through the labor pain once.
She was already planning to break the news to her husband after some time. She intended to stand by her decision not to have another child.
To her surprise, Henry had the same idea and turned his parents down before she could say anything.
