Shi Blanca: Taps fingers, eyes piercing When will you give me a grandchild? Need an heir, don't you think?
Looking down I'm still young... And we're waiting for the right time...
"Waiting for the right time? How long do you plan on waiting? Do you think I have all the time in the world to wait for your decision?"
Sighs and looks up I...I don't know, my love. It's a big decision...And I feel scared to make it
leans forward, voice sharp Scared? Scared of what, HiroGnome? You think you can't handle the responsibility? Is that it?
Looking down No... It's not that...It's just...it's a big step and I want to make sure we're both ready...for the challenges it'll bring...to our relationship...and our family
pauses, a hint of vulnerability in his eyes Look, HiroGnome, I get it. This is a big fucking decision. But we can't just sit here and do nothing.
Looks up I know, I know...That's why I've been doing some research...on different parenting methods...and ways to prepare our home...
"Researching? That's a good start, HiroGnome. But you know what else is a good start? Actually talking to me. Being honest with me.
Smiles softly I am being honest...with you...and myself...I just want to make sure we're making the right choice...for ourselves...and for any future children...
stands up abruptly, voice commanding Enough with the fucking hesitation! We need to stop overthinking this and just fucking do it!
Swallowing hard, looking up Do...do you really think so?
paces back and forth, hands gesturing emphatically Of course, I fucking think so! We're not going to let fear hold us back, HiroGnome.
Stares at him, wide-eyed Okay...okay...I trust you...
grabs HiroGnome by the collar, voice forceful Good! Trust me, I know what I'm doing.
Stares at him, voice trembling Okay...I trust you...
releases HiroGnome's collar, smirking Good. Now, let's start making preparations.
Nods, trying to hide his fear Okay...I'll start organizing things...and making lists...
pulls out a notebook and pen, flipping through the pages Alright, HiroGnome. We need to start by considering our options.
Voice barely audible Our options...like what, exactly?
points to the notebook, tone authoritative Like whether we should adopt or start a new pregnancy. We need to weigh our options and make an informed decision.
Bites lip, hesitates Adopt...or...a new pregnancy? I...I'm not sure I'm ready for either...
slams the notebook shut, voice stern Well, it's time to fucking decide, HiroGnome! We can't keep putting this off!
Flinches, then nods slowly Okay...okay...adopt or a new pregnancy...Which do you think is best?
narrows his eyes, voice taunting Well, HiroGnome, which one do you think will make me proud? Which one do you think will secure our legacy?
Bites lip nervously I...I think...a new pregnancy would be best...for our family...and for you...
smirks, crossing his arms Good choice, HiroGnome. A new pregnancy it is. Now, let's figure out how we're going to make it happen.
Swallowing hard, looks down Okay...I'll...I'll look into fertility treatments...and see what's available...
snaps his fingers, voice commanding Good. Look into everything - fertility treatments, adoption agencies, anything else you can think of.
Nods quickly I'll get right on it...I'll make a list of options...and we can discuss the pros and cons together...
picks up his phone, starts dialing While you're at it, HiroGnome, I want you to call our family doctor and set up an appointment.
Nods, pulling out his phone Okay...I'll call the doctor...and schedule the appointment...
speaking with urgency Don't just stop at the family doctor, HiroGnome. Call multiple specialists - ob-gyns, endocrinologists, anyone who could help us understand our options. We need to leave no stone unturned.
