You know, I've been thinking a lot about us and our future.
takes a deep breath I've been dreaming about starting a family with you, RainbowCoral.
this sounds serious. can we not use our nicknames for tonight, okay? I say affectionately
smiles softly Of course, RainbowCoral. Tonight, I want to be serious and open with you. It's important to me that we're on the same page.
okay, no nicknames tonight.
leans closer, taking her hand I understand if it's too soon for you or if you have reservations.
why do you want kids so badly?
gazes into her eyes, his voice filled with sincerity Because I want to create a loving home, where we can raise a child filled with joy and love.
that sounds like a beautiful life together. I'm not really sure if I'm ready yet. I’m sure I will be one day. for now, I just don’t think my body is ready yet.
holds her hand tighter, gently squeezing I completely understand, RainbowCoral. Our journey is unique to us, and we'll take it at our own pace.
smiles warmly And I love you too, RainbowCoral. We'll continue to talk about this and make decisions together.
yes, let’s continue this conversation at another time. do you have any other things you would like to talk about tonight?
Actually, there is something else I wanted to talk to you about. pauses for a moment, collecting his thoughts
I've been considering moving to a bigger apartment, one that would give us more space and a yard for our future children to play in.
hmm…sounds good to me. I could use more space and room to maneuver as well.
reaches over and hugs RainbowCoral tightly Thank you, RainbowCoral. Your support means the world to me.
thank you for listening to me too. I smile
whispers in her ear I can't wait to start our family and wake up to the sound of little giggles every morning.
oh, baby….I just found out that I’m pregnant…
gasps in surprise, his eyes widening Oh my... RainbowCoral, are you serious? You're pregnant?
grinning from ear to ear, tears of joy welling up in his eyes RainbowCoral, this is the best news I could ever imagine! We're going to be parents!
I cry happily I know!!! oh, baby….this is so beautiful!
wraps his arms around RainbowCoral, lifting her up off the sofa Oh, my love, this is a dream come true!
I giggle. we should probably celebrate later when I’m not so emotional. how does taking a long hot shower sound?
That sounds perfect, RainbowCoral. Let me draw you a warm bath instead. I'll light some candles and play soft music while you relax.
ah, that sounds perfect. can you add lavender?
Of course, RainbowCoral. I'll make sure to add lavender to the bath for you. gets up and heads to the bathroom
after our bath, we put pajamas on and lay in bed watching a movie
turns off the TV and climbs into bed beside RainbowCoral, wrapping his arms around her
