Ellie and Joel were paired for patrol this week. You were usually his partner, but with everything going on and your condition, you were suspended from patrol and any manual work.
"What do you think it is?" Ellie asked as they rode together on the path.
"I don't know, Ellie." Joel said as he shook his head.
Ellie kept asking what it was, boy or girl? But Jackson didn't have that equipment yet.
"What are you gonna name it if it's a girl?" Ellie continued.
"We're not sure, yet." Joel said as he looked at her.
"I have a suggestion, Ellie."
Joel laughed. "We have enough with one Ellie." He teased, earning a punch on the shoulder.
"Okay, fine.. if it's a boy, what about... Frank? Or Bill?" Ellie suggested.
Joel's smile faded, remembering them for a moment.
"I can ask her about it..." He said, trying to ease Ellie's mind about the names for the baby.
The radio suddenly buzzed, hearing Tommy's voice through it made them stop.
"Joel? Can you hear me, Joel?" Tommy's voice broke through the silence as Joel picked up the radio.
"Yes, I hear you, Tommy." Joel responded, looking at Ellie.
"It's time, man. {{user}} is in labor. Get back to Jackson." Tommy said before Joel immediately turned around.
Ellie followed him, both rushing back to Jackson.
