“Do we have any other siblings?” The spider one asked in a loud monotone voice. 491Please respect copyright.PENANA6KduzaDiQs
“No, I’m an only child, well was an only child” Matthew answered her. 491Please respect copyright.PENANA60HWSwAmKE
“Then who is he?” She questioned while pointing to Ben.491Please respect copyright.PENANAqR2A41e8E5
“Oh I’m just his friend, we were the ones who discovered you” Ben answered.491Please respect copyright.PENANAeDP5Wyo3rz
“Do we have names?” She changed the subject while also changing her attention towards Marie and Luke. 491Please respect copyright.PENANA6iiuuBGsfY
Marie and Luke looked at each other. 491Please respect copyright.PENANAKeVPiJ3ZHj
“Well when Marie was first pregnant with Matthew we made a baby names list for both genders. We could give you guys from the list. ” Luke responded, not sure what else to tell them. 491Please respect copyright.PENANAAstBEO7VP6
The three girls looked at each other. The Christmas light one spoke up.491Please respect copyright.PENANAv6ja7Qm6as
“So does that mean you will keep us?”491Please respect copyright.PENANAOSnD3EJQou
“Well of course, you are our daughters.” Marie assured her.491Please respect copyright.PENANAioAYvtf7Pt
“That didn’t seem to matter when you forgot about us for sixteen years straight.” The glass one mumbled.491Please respect copyright.PENANAM2YVFenvGm
The others turned their heads towards her and gave a look of disapproval. 491Please respect copyright.PENANAxCI3FRtqwL
“She’s right, we are very sorry but hopefully we can make it up to now.” Luke replied empathizing with how she felt. 491Please respect copyright.PENANAh4sCG9UGw5
491Please respect copyright.PENANA81ieCI2TwD
After a short drive they arrived back at home. 491Please respect copyright.PENANAWsrTpcwB3f
“We’ll have to work on the sleeping arrangements but for now we’ll figure out what we should call you” Luke said.491Please respect copyright.PENANA6zS59HIZG6
“I’ll go grab the book, I know exactly where it is.” Marie exclaimed. 491Please respect copyright.PENANAnciK8fwVHZ
“ Matthew, while your mom is getting the baby name book go into her room and grab some clothes for the girls” Luke ordered. 491Please respect copyright.PENANAd4HelYtDZT
“On it” he responded.491Please respect copyright.PENANA9k3qC11vWQ
Within a couple of minutes Marie was sitting on the couch with the book open and the three girls, now in a fresh new set of clothes, surrounding her. Marie listening off names. 491Please respect copyright.PENANADecg7Nfna2
“Anne” 491Please respect copyright.PENANAZGxccdb8xb
“No”491Please respect copyright.PENANALfy8TwRLKm
“Nicole” 491Please respect copyright.PENANALbeVNYV2cn
“Maybe”491Please respect copyright.PENANAft4Qz7Ymt2
“Mia”491Please respect copyright.PENANAD3bdUtJdGC
“Definitely not” 491Please respect copyright.PENANAKJdJAJDsvh
The spider one got up and slowly made her way towards one of their bookshelves filled with books. She started examining some of them. She grabbed a book that looked particularly interesting to her. It had a picture of a friendly looking spider on it and a pig. The title read “Charlotte’s Web”. Out of excitement she grabbed the book and sprinted the few steps back to the couch where Marie was sitting.491Please respect copyright.PENANANn62rwBoaC
“What about this” the spider girl said to Marie while pointing to the name Charlotte.491Please respect copyright.PENANAbKCHZAZzC8
“ Charlotte, I like it.” Marie responded.491Please respect copyright.PENANAQEdE8whDyO
Charlotte smiled. 491Please respect copyright.PENANALBvjHWmnsj
491Please respect copyright.PENANAKxfSfjLfek
“Maybe you can give Christmas lights over here a Christmas name.” Interjected Ben.491Please respect copyright.PENANAAcM1BQfTNh
“Like what?” Christmas lights responded. 491Please respect copyright.PENANA6Ai2QkqdXF
“Well let’s see there’s Holly, Joy, Ève, Carol, Ginger, Noel, Ch…” 491Please respect copyright.PENANAo9TZ7JI0ZL
“Noella!” She interrupted491Please respect copyright.PENANAquaWWhrU0l
“ I love that name, it seems very fitting for you” Marie said, supporting her decision. 491Please respect copyright.PENANAh7w4Azpo7L
491Please respect copyright.PENANApOsKGwCyH6
Matthew finally spoke up. 491Please respect copyright.PENANApXmJIqrILJ
“I guess that only leaves you.” 491Please respect copyright.PENANAkR1Jf8D0ZO
Turning his head towards that glass girl. 491Please respect copyright.PENANADB0pY5vVmC
“I don’t care what you name me” she replied in a loathsome manner. 491Please respect copyright.PENANAkUxUyoIPnJ
“What about Crystal, like the expression Crystal clear” Ben offered. 491Please respect copyright.PENANAA2TCaCN94o
“Sounds fine to me” Crystal replied with the same couldn’t care less tone as before. 491Please respect copyright.PENANAnZSxtcIRrW
“You know you’re kinda good at this” Matthew said while nudging Ben. 491Please respect copyright.PENANAaA3AMimKoW
“Some people can make masterpieces, others have incredible brawn, I was gifted with the ability to name things.” Ben joked back. 491Please respect copyright.PENANAJnwYKD095F
Both the boys chuckled.491Please respect copyright.PENANA2Lp6r5u4ZK
“So let me make sure I have this down pat, we have Charlotte, then Noella, then Crystal” Luke said while pointing to each girl as he said their name.
