You smiled as you sat with Mark on the beach, watching the sunset. You lay your head on his shoulder and he wrapped his arm around yours as well. You wrapped both of your arms around his waist after that.
"I remember that you love the sunset." He said. "I love it too. It's quite beautiful."
"Not enough people appreciate it." You said.
"I agree." He said.
Silence fell between the both of you once more. You decided to be the one to break it this time.
"What do you want to name the baby?" You asked.
"I really like the name Molly." He said. "And I'm not saying that because of Wade. I legit really like it."
"I do too." You admitted. "But what if it's a boy?"
"But I want a girl!" Mark said in a whiny voice.
You laughed because you knew that he was being his usual idiotic self.
"You've got a fifty-fifty shot of it being a girl." You said. "But you have to have a boy's name."
"You choose the boy's name." He said. "It's only fair. You're the one who's gotta carry that around that thing for nine months and then get it out later."
You laughed once more.
"Okay fine." You said. "I'll think of a name later."
"Why not now?" He asked.
"Because we don't have to worry about it for a little while." You said. "I want to focus on you."
"Well, I am pretty gorgeous." He said.
You flicked him in the forehead and shook your head.
"What was that for?" He asked.
"For being yourself." You teased.
"Gee. Thanks." He said. He paused for a few moments before adding, "So, who kidnapped you? I want to know so I can go and beat their ass."
"Don't worry." You said. "He's going to jail."
"Good." Mark said. "But who was it?"
"Jacob." You said.
He stood up, causing you to fall into the sand. You saw his fists clench and you stood up as well.
"That motherfucking asshole." He muttered.
"Mark, calm down." You said, turning him towards you. "It's okay. He's being punished."
"Why can't I punish him?" He asked. "No one gets away with hurting you."
"Just let it go." You said.
"Let it go..."
"Don't even start with that." You said, rolling your eyes.
"Fine." He said.
The both of you stood there in silence once more.
"We're starting to get really good at having awkward silence hang between us, aren't we?" Mark asked.
"You can say that again." You said.
"We're starting-"
"You're a doofus." You said.
"I take pride in that." He said, hugging you.
You looked over at the horizon. The sun had just set and the stars were starting to come out.
"The night is young." You said.
"And so are we." Mark said, spinning you around and dipping you down towards the ground. He then kissed you and you kissed him back.

After the kiss, the both of you looked up at the stars in all their glory and beauty.
"You know, I'd like to think that every person that has ever died makes a journey and they become a star." Mark said. "I know that that sounds insane but it's a nice thought. There are trillions of stars up there."
"It is." You agreed.
"There will be plenty of new stars up there tomorrow." He said. "Just you wait."
