Five slow months pass after I and Charles dangerous mission and all these while, we have been trying to put everything behind us, made new friends and start a new promising and fulfilling life until...
My heart pounds in my chest as Charles utters those fateful words. "I'm ready for us to settle down and have a child."
I feel like all the air has been sucked out of the room. Having a baby together is a huge step - one that I'm not sure I'm prepared for yet. Don't get me wrong, I love Charles with every fiber of my being. But the idea of being responsible for a tiny human life terrifies me.
"Are...are you sure?" I manage to squeak out, my mouth feeling incredibly dry. "Having a baby is a massive responsibility."
Charles takes my trembling hands in his, giving them a reassuring squeeze.
