We've established that I'm shit at this, remember? [ the dog licks her nose again and she makes a terribly undignified noise. ] We have all these Grahams, though, maybe we need a Lincoln. How's that, huh, buddy? You look like Link. Those big ass ears.

[mydesigns]

Link Lincoln?

[icouldbe_bess]

Link short for Lincoln. Lincoln Graham.

[mydesigns]

Huh ... that does have a nice ring to it.

[icouldbe_bess]

[ she only half hears will, distracted cooing at the puppy again as she lazily sits up, cradling the dog to her chest. ] You look like a cartoon. Little alien puppy. Hello, there. Hi.

[mydesigns]

He's just a baby, there's still time for him to grow into his face. Maybe.

[icouldbe_bess]

I like it, he has character. And Abraham Lincoln was fucking weird looking too, he matches his namesake.

[mydesigns]

True. [he reaches over to pet link's tiny lil alien puppy head.]

[icouldbe_bess]

You're right though, Lincoln Graham does sound nice. [ if u get what she's puttin' down, son. ]

[mydesigns]

[yeah he does, ok. he's not dumb.] I guess there are some other ways it could sound nice ...

[icouldbe_bess]

Such as? [ link tries to climb into her shirt like it's a nice warm home for him. ]

[mydesigns]

[in his blunt, will graham way] You're suggesting that we get married.

[icouldbe_bess]

I'm suggesting that right now, in lieu of children we don't have, our dogs should have our last names. [ she pets link's head. ] But yes, marriage was also the idea.

[mydesigns]

[squints, momentarily distracted] Link would be Lincoln Lincoln-Graham.

[icouldbe_bess]

When Aaron was confirmed he chose Aaron as his confirmation name, so he was Aaron Aaron Lincoln. It's not unheard of in my family.

[mydesigns]

Really? Seems a little unfortunate to me.

[icouldbe_bess]

Well, Jesus was his first choice, but they said no.

[mydesigns]

[he actually laughs at that. amaze.]

[icouldbe_bess]

So how do you feel about that idea? The possible future hyphen.

[mydesigns]

I'm open to it.

[icouldbe_bess]

You are? [ she knows he loves her, but she's still somewhat surprised. ]

[mydesigns]

Well ... yeah. You've stuck around this long.

[icouldbe_bess]

[ dryly: ] Romantic. [ she obviously doesn't care though, watching will contemplatively. ] I'd like a house first and a long talk about finances, a saving account for joint purchases, Roth IRAs, long-term care and life insurance plans, living wills, power of attorney, that kind of thing.

[ also all very romantic. ]

[mydesigns]

[he raises his eyebrows like wow u thought this out real hard didn't u.]

Okay.

[icouldbe_bess]

It's serious. I like stability, I'd like for both of us to have it. And Abigail and Cora and Stiles and the dogs and whatever wayward youth or dog you adopt next.
