“Do you really wanna have a baby with me?” I ask seriously. “Not just the act of makin’ one but the late-night feedings, diaper changes, and lack of sleep? The pregnancy cravings, hormonal changes, and stress of havin’ two kids? This isn’t gonna be easy.” He cups my cheeks, staring intently into my eyes and looking sincere. “I want everythin’ with you. The highs and lows. The ups and downs. The good and bad. I wanna be here for all of it. Whatever that is, just the three of us, or if we add more to our family, I’m ready for it. I’m here. I wanna give you everythin’ you’ve ever wanted.”
