"My sweet boy."

Larissa Cohen smiled as she held her newborn son in her arms, tears free falling down her face at just how beautiful the small human was that she had given birth to, his innocence, his beauty, it made her heart swell with pride.

His father was supposed to be at the birth, of course he was, however it had come out of nowhere so he had been at work and despite rushing to the hospital as fast as he could, he hadn't made it in time.

The nurse that was stood beside her silently snapped a couple of photos of the pair on the camera that Larissa had packed in her go bag in case that she would ever be rushed in, with the nurse feeling pity that the new mothers husband had not been able to make it.

She had been trying to hold back on pushing when her contractions came in order to give him time to get to the hospital, but in the end, she didn't have a choice but to push, since she was endangering herself and her beautiful baby boy if she kept doing so.

"Have you thought of a name for him?"

The young nurse asked gently, making sure that his voice was not too loud for the baby, seeing how the Cohen woman softly shook her head from side to side.

"No, we could never agree on a name for him, my husband always tried to name him after his favorite football player, but I didn't think it was right." Larissa spoke whilst staring down at her son, not wanting to remove her eyes from the boy.

"We can brainstorm some ideas until he arrives, if you would like?" The male nurse sat down beside her, wanting to keep her company since he felt bad for her, plus she had been nice to him even when in labor.

"Well, what is your name, docinho?" Larissa questioned, finally lifting her soft gaze from her child to meet the eyes of the kind nurse that had done nothing but be nice to her and comfort her.

"My name is Luiz, Mrs Cohen."

"Then I shall call my son, Luiz."

Luiz, the nurse widened his eyes at how she had named her baby after him, shock, surprise and gratitude filling his body since he had never expected such a thing.

He had worked at this hospital for three years, and this was the very first baby to ever be named after him, it made tears well up in his eyes at the emotions running through him, happiness soon joining them.

He hoped that his name would be worthy enough for the child, hoping that they became super successful and happy in their life.

Maybe he would become a doctor, maybe he would become a scientist, a politician maybe. Maybe he would become an actor or a writer and novelist.

Maybe he would become an athlete, a football player maybe.

Or a Formula One driver, Luiz knew that the sport was very well known, and only took the best drivers in the world, maybe his namesake would become one of them.

He hadn't achieved much in his life so he hoped the best for the young newborn boy that was currently being cradled in his mothers arms.

"Merda! Anjo, I am so sorry!"

Paulo Cohen ran as fast as he could in to his wife's hospital room, his dark eyes frantic and panicked, worried that he had missed the birth of his first child, their first born, their baby boy, their son.

The soft cry of a baby signalled to him immediately that he had.

The Brazilian man fell to his knees beside his wife as the realisation hit him, guilt flooding him about how he had missed supporting his wife in labor when she was giving life.

Crystal clear tears fell from his irises as they watched the mother of his newborn son and the love of his life cradling their boy, before he soon began to sob uncontrollably.

The male nurse, Luiz, rushed to help the new father, lifting up from the floor in order to get him seated, handing him a glass of water as well as some tissues so that he could dry his tears, watching closely until it was evident that he was okay.

"I shall leave the both of you to spend some time with your son, congratulations and thank you, Mrs Cohen."

Luiz left the room with a bright smile upon his face.

"I am so sorry, anjo, I tried to get here but traffic just kept getting blocked up. I had to ask a police officer to escort me here." Paulo stood to his feet in order to press a soft kiss to his wife's head, staring down at their son with a look of happiness and pride within him.

"It's okay, coração. You are here now and we are both perfectly healthy." Larissa allowed her arms to lift so that her husband could hold their son, seeing his face begin to crumble as he cried once more.

"He is going to help so many people when he is older, I can already tell. Our boy will be a superhero, he's going to make us so proud." Paulo attempted to stop the floods of tears coming once more, his bottom lip wobbling slightly.

"Pele Cohen, my sweet boy."

"He is not being called Pele." Larissa rolled the blue of her eyes with a small smile upon her lips, a soft giggle leaving her lips.

"He's named after that nurse."

"He should be named after the greatest Brazilian football player of all time! He has to have a legendary name for when he does himself become a legend!" Paulo released a small whine, wanting nothing more than to name his son after his idol.

"I'd rather our son be named after the nurse who helped him be born, it means more that way. If we give him an already famous name, he will grow up feeling more pressure that he has to live up to it. I want our boy to grow up without the pressure, I want him to be able to choose what he wants to do in his life, to have fun in his life and find some great friends and a lovely partner who he will spend his life with and have children, whether that be a man or a woman."

Larissa released a deep sigh as she finished her speech, having wanted for so long to be a mother, so she knew that she wanted to do it right and raise her child the right way where he could blossom by himself.

"But I'm his father, I should get to name him."

"I am his mother and I spent the past few hours pushing him out of my body without pain relief and without my husbands help. Do not act so entitled, if you are so determined that Pele is to be our boy's name, then his middle name shall be Pele."

"And his first name?"

"His name is Luiz Pele Cohen and he is going to grow up and be a star."
