OMG that last drabble was so beyond adorable! How about a sequel where they tell everyone else the news?
They planned on waiting until the end of the first trimester to tell anyone. (Except for Hero, of course â the cat wasalready out of the bag, with that one, since Beatrice had called her whilewaiting in line to buy the pregnancy tests. She never could keep a secret fromHero.) However, they barely made it a month before their cover was totallyblown.
They were at Megâs house for a New Years Party,and Beatrice had successfully avoided alcohol all night without raisingsuspicion.
âOh yeah? Well, Bea will do a shot with me,â Meg was saying to Pedro, whoâd justmade a comment about them being too old for such things. She turned around,brandishing a bottle of tequila at her. âWonât you, Beatrice?â
âUm, Iâd rather not.âÂ
Megâs smile immediately dropped.
âWhy not?â She demanded. âYouâre not drivinghome. And itâs not like youâre pregnant.â She scoffed when she said it, butwhen she saw Beaâs jaw drop and Benâs eyes widen, she froze.
âOh my God, areyou pregnant?â She squealed. âBitch, youâve been holding out on us!â
âIs that true?â Balthazar asked, looking fromBen to Bea, âAre you?â
âNo use denying it now,â Ben said, shrugging atBea.
âWe werenât supposed to tell anyone for anothertwo months,â She explained, âHeroâs the only other person who knew.â
âThatâs so exciting,â Ursula smiled, âCongratulations,you guys.â
âI canât believe the two of you are going to beparents,â Pedro joked, grabbing Beain a hug, âthis kid doesnât stand a chance.â
âHave you thought about baby names? Because fora girl, I highly recommend Margaret,â Meg grinned, âand for a boy, alsoMargaret.â
âAnd what if they donât subscribe to genderroles?â Beatrice asked.
âIn that case, also Margaret.â
âWeâre going to name the baby Floyd, after themost majestic creature I have ever known,â Ben said, placing a hand on Beaâsbelly.
âUnder no circumstances is that true,â Bea saiddryly, âDo not listen to him.â
âOooh, what about Margaret Floyd?â Megsuggested. âIâd even settle for Floyd Margaret.â
âFloyd Margaret does have a nice ring to it,âBen said thoughtfully. âBut it would be a bit of a mouthful. Floyd MargaretDuke-Hobbes. Or Margaret Floyd Hobbes-Duke? Or ââ
âAbsolutely not,â Beatrice shook her head. âWeare not naming our baby after any of you, and we are especially not naming ourbaby after a toy.â
âHow dareyou!â Ben cried, aghast, âFloyd is not a toy.â
âIâm sorry, let me rephrase that. We are notnaming our baby after a lawn decoration.â
âWhat if we combine all of our names?âBalthazar joked. âHergretsula Pedrazar Hobbes-Duke.â
âI love it,â Ben said, wiping an imaginary tearfrom his eye.
âI hate you all,â Beatrice declared, as sheheaded for the kitchen, âand I am not taking suggestions for baby names fromany of you.â
âItâs okay,â Ben stage-whispered to them, âyoucan submit all potential baby names to me, and Iâll pretend I came up with themand bring it up to Bea.â
âIcan still hear you, dickface,â She called over her shoulder, âand youâve justlost baby naming privileges!â
Hi there! I'm a big fan of the webseries and I was wondering what was the reasoning/creative decision of not changing the names of the characters to more modern type ones (Charles Bingley being changed into Bing Lee in LBD for example)? cant wait to see the rest of the series :D x
Thank-you!
We had a lot of discussions about whether or not we should change the names, and in the end the majority of them we argued, while unusual, were not exactly unheard of in the modern day.
Many of the names we actually have reasoning for.
Benedick we couldnât resist keeping because of all the possible dick jokes his name presents. Most of the characters refer to him as âBenâ to keep him modern. We think Benâs parents are a bit odd themselves and genuinely liked Benedick as a name.
Beatrice is a name still used today, but also this play is famous for the bickering of âBeatriceâ and âBenedickâ, and we didnât want to change that.
Ursula, again, is a name still used today.
Heroâs name, in our series, has a little story behind it, which you will find out in the near futureâŠ
We naturally changed Leonato to Leo early on.
Dogberry and Verges are nicknames. They do have real names too. Anyone want to take a guess?
âMegâ is short for Margaret, and she is also called Meg in the play
Don Pedro was changed to Pedro Donaldson. However, Pedro is a nickname. His real name is Peter. :)
Again, Don John became John Donaldson.
Conrad became, âCoraâ which is also reasonably dated and so fit in well with the other names.
The characters call Claudio âClaudâ occasionally to bring the name forward somewhat. It felt weird to change his name to something more modern with the main characters nameâs left unchanged.
âBorachioâ became Robbieâs last name because it was slightly too âout thereâ.
The only name which really, really stands out in a crowd is Balthazarâs, which is his middle name. It was too good to change, but Balthyâs full name is Stanley Balthazar Jones.
