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?

crying
grabs interferem's hand tightly Listen to me, you heartless prick. You don't get to decide what happens in our lives.

I won’t but I won’t be able to get pregnant now

I hug him tightly
