“Do we have any other siblings?” The spider one asked in a loud monotone voice. 487Please respect copyright.PENANA9m9Mvbj4rq
“No, I’m an only child, well was an only child” Matthew answered her. 487Please respect copyright.PENANAhgHgQxiSuN
“Then who is he?” She questioned while pointing to Ben.487Please respect copyright.PENANAHRWdt2xafI
“Oh I’m just his friend, we were the ones who discovered you” Ben answered.487Please respect copyright.PENANANmRvMz3ar2
“Do we have names?” She changed the subject while also changing her attention towards Marie and Luke. 487Please respect copyright.PENANAopDsylpgnP
Marie and Luke looked at each other. 487Please respect copyright.PENANAhz4gVCJjAf
“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. 487Please respect copyright.PENANAZRW4oDg9L1
The three girls looked at each other. The Christmas light one spoke up.487Please respect copyright.PENANAZ21LhA9m8p
“So does that mean you will keep us?”487Please respect copyright.PENANAkuolLQvqcb
“Well of course, you are our daughters.” Marie assured her.487Please respect copyright.PENANA8Riy6vzOlR
“That didn’t seem to matter when you forgot about us for sixteen years straight.” The glass one mumbled.487Please respect copyright.PENANA4v2rH5Emf9
The others turned their heads towards her and gave a look of disapproval. 487Please respect copyright.PENANATgXZheckFU
“She’s right, we are very sorry but hopefully we can make it up to now.” Luke replied empathizing with how she felt. 487Please respect copyright.PENANAqq4eXEFQKP
487Please respect copyright.PENANA9fRctH73Ud
After a short drive they arrived back at home. 487Please respect copyright.PENANAwXLjjLxfGt
“We’ll have to work on the sleeping arrangements but for now we’ll figure out what we should call you” Luke said.487Please respect copyright.PENANAx91AAmSvap
“I’ll go grab the book, I know exactly where it is.” Marie exclaimed. 487Please respect copyright.PENANA1eh3FSuCCq
“ Matthew, while your mom is getting the baby name book go into her room and grab some clothes for the girls” Luke ordered. 487Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4HVoDvTL1
“On it” he responded.487Please respect copyright.PENANAMnZ2KI2Rc7
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. 487Please respect copyright.PENANA3UWPl9xXjo
“Anne” 487Please respect copyright.PENANA3VXokmqEal
“No”487Please respect copyright.PENANAE1rHy7c29U
“Nicole” 487Please respect copyright.PENANAPuB6pCmb6E

“Mia”487Please respect copyright.PENANA170X5Hts0x
“Definitely not” 487Please respect copyright.PENANAC67bfLB7pW
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.487Please respect copyright.PENANAPkUwCUtzFY
“What about this” the spider girl said to Marie while pointing to the name Charlotte.487Please respect copyright.PENANAyDO9igzDHa
“ Charlotte, I like it.” Marie responded.487Please respect copyright.PENANAErCt3J3OGp
Charlotte smiled. 487Please respect copyright.PENANA0oq1lONExA
487Please respect copyright.PENANAMCaBUIrzq3
“Maybe you can give Christmas lights over here a Christmas name.” Interjected Ben.487Please respect copyright.PENANA0wLOJey6pr
“Like what?” Christmas lights responded. 487Please respect copyright.PENANAqkzqGh0RNC
“Well let’s see there’s Holly, Joy, Ève, Carol, Ginger, Noel, Ch…” 487Please respect copyright.PENANAl2zuaNz85j
“Noella!” She interrupted487Please respect copyright.PENANAoBzC6vv1L1
“ I love that name, it seems very fitting for you” Marie said, supporting her decision. 487Please respect copyright.PENANA0MGSTNJywc
487Please respect copyright.PENANAGhJZ8JE3xp
Matthew finally spoke up. 487Please respect copyright.PENANAwyq1e4V5uI
“I guess that only leaves you.” 487Please respect copyright.PENANAjf7LyNaZB4
Turning his head towards that glass girl. 487Please respect copyright.PENANAmIcp5F3UCw
“I don’t care what you name me” she replied in a loathsome manner. 487Please respect copyright.PENANASsI7AeCVIa
“What about Crystal, like the expression Crystal clear” Ben offered. 487Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8cO2XUiqH
“Sounds fine to me” Crystal replied with the same couldn’t care less tone as before. 487Please respect copyright.PENANAG110pCEsu7
“You know you’re kinda good at this” Matthew said while nudging Ben. 487Please respect copyright.PENANADGjXjPSWvh
“Some people can make masterpieces, others have incredible brawn, I was gifted with the ability to name things.” Ben joked back. 487Please respect copyright.PENANAq5CJUCA0c5
Both the boys chuckled.487Please respect copyright.PENANAhHm5fqzaIa
“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.
