“Do we have any other siblings?” The spider one asked in a loud monotone voice. 492Please respect copyright.PENANAqyBPTQUBCc
“No, I’m an only child, well was an only child” Matthew answered her. 492Please respect copyright.PENANAQpw7EqqYNA
“Then who is he?” She questioned while pointing to Ben.492Please respect copyright.PENANAn68wVkWLYt
“Oh I’m just his friend, we were the ones who discovered you” Ben answered.492Please respect copyright.PENANAhPApJQGZis
“Do we have names?” She changed the subject while also changing her attention towards Marie and Luke. 492Please respect copyright.PENANAwpSCA7nJ4f
Marie and Luke looked at each other. 492Please respect copyright.PENANAdYdkjBUQGc
“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. 492Please respect copyright.PENANALCx3hwbhyr
The three girls looked at each other. The Christmas light one spoke up.492Please respect copyright.PENANAI916dbCbDd
“So does that mean you will keep us?”492Please respect copyright.PENANADMS8LhorZP
“Well of course, you are our daughters.” Marie assured her.492Please respect copyright.PENANAoDbsJFStw1
“That didn’t seem to matter when you forgot about us for sixteen years straight.” The glass one mumbled.492Please respect copyright.PENANAkjBiYnGF2R
The others turned their heads towards her and gave a look of disapproval. 492Please respect copyright.PENANAegVXY4ycaj
“She’s right, we are very sorry but hopefully we can make it up to now.” Luke replied empathizing with how she felt. 492Please respect copyright.PENANAQZIMQDdZy8
492Please respect copyright.PENANATnjQrA27Ox
After a short drive they arrived back at home. 492Please respect copyright.PENANAqLMhEUmlG0
“We’ll have to work on the sleeping arrangements but for now we’ll figure out what we should call you” Luke said.492Please respect copyright.PENANAHBnpcc6Ned
“I’ll go grab the book, I know exactly where it is.” Marie exclaimed. 492Please respect copyright.PENANARyAMRImGsN
“ Matthew, while your mom is getting the baby name book go into her room and grab some clothes for the girls” Luke ordered. 492Please respect copyright.PENANAKnGN84cNdc
“On it” he responded.492Please respect copyright.PENANAp76YFZRKXz
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. 492Please respect copyright.PENANAsLqVyAuPMN
“Anne” 492Please respect copyright.PENANAu2ORZ1vu2k

“Mia”492Please respect copyright.PENANAV3cYmTp5u3
“Definitely not” 492Please respect copyright.PENANAmbgijKpjKd
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.492Please respect copyright.PENANAwBuhsjjU3i
“What about this” the spider girl said to Marie while pointing to the name Charlotte.492Please respect copyright.PENANA441lOTUe9g
“ Charlotte, I like it.” Marie responded.492Please respect copyright.PENANAVtbH0MjsbL
Charlotte smiled. 492Please respect copyright.PENANAzEPaeesBss
492Please respect copyright.PENANArGLbJM7KxJ
“Maybe you can give Christmas lights over here a Christmas name.” Interjected Ben.492Please respect copyright.PENANAy0lqpBJk9K
“Like what?” Christmas lights responded. 492Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6mKIJJyDb
“Well let’s see there’s Holly, Joy, Ève, Carol, Ginger, Noel, Ch…” 492Please respect copyright.PENANAmgCXembZ54
“Noella!” She interrupted492Please respect copyright.PENANAfY3YZhrgWe
“ I love that name, it seems very fitting for you” Marie said, supporting her decision. 492Please respect copyright.PENANAD5nzyN3pWI
492Please respect copyright.PENANAvDAXovozNU
Matthew finally spoke up. 492Please respect copyright.PENANAmatdAQAHsP
“I guess that only leaves you.” 492Please respect copyright.PENANAl36njoPIjS
Turning his head towards that glass girl. 492Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2EqEIW1YC
“I don’t care what you name me” she replied in a loathsome manner. 492Please respect copyright.PENANAaxwGSFar8B
“What about Crystal, like the expression Crystal clear” Ben offered. 492Please respect copyright.PENANABpD2drSbi9
“Sounds fine to me” Crystal replied with the same couldn’t care less tone as before. 492Please respect copyright.PENANAx9UfeGdPbw
“You know you’re kinda good at this” Matthew said while nudging Ben. 492Please respect copyright.PENANAD22eWVPA5J
“Some people can make masterpieces, others have incredible brawn, I was gifted with the ability to name things.” Ben joked back. 492Please respect copyright.PENANAKaFuePr9gw
Both the boys chuckled.492Please respect copyright.PENANAWFGYaj7pWx
“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.
