Mark: clenching his fists Wh-what was that? You... you announced an engagement? To... someone else? Why?
cries he told me he didn’t want kids
stands up abruptly, his voice trembling with anger Are you kidding me? Doesn't want kids? What kind of a sick bastard doesn't want something as beautiful and life-changing as having kids?
grabs interferem's hand tightly Listen to me, you heartless prick. You don't get to decide what happens in our lives.
takes a deep breath, trying to calm himself Look, I know this is hard for you, but you can't just give up on us like this.
I won’t but I won’t be able to get pregnant now
softens his grip and looks into interferem's eyes I understand that this is a difficult situation, but we can explore other options together.
nods Yes, adoption. Or even surrogacy. We can research the possibilities and find a path that works for us.
pulls interferem into a tight embrace Don't worry, love. We're in this together. We'll find a way to build our family, no matter what.
holds interferem close, feeling grateful for their strength and love I love you too, more than words can express.
Jules says “I’m sorry” in French
leans back slightly, looking into interferem's eyes It's okay, Jules. I understand that you're upset. Just know that I'm here for you, no matter what happens.
smiles softly Thank you, Jules. Your support means everything to me. Let's face whatever comes our way together, okay?
pulls out a notebook and pen Alright, let's start by researching the different adoption options available to us.
quickly opens his laptop and starts searching for adoption agencies Okay, let's see... There are several options here.
glances over at interferem Is everything alright? You seem a bit distracted.
