528 Your Baby?

Lucy took a moment to gather her thoughts together so she would know how best to put them to him. Maybe she should have told Sonia about it first and heard what Sonia thought so she would know if it made sense to suggest such a thing to Tom.

"Yes. I know you love kids. And I don't want to deprive you of having them. So I was thinking maybe you won't mind adopting a kid. There are so many kids out there without parents, in need of someone to take care of them. And I think you have what it takes," Lucy said, and Tom nodded thoughtfully.

"Okay. And then what?" he asked, making Lucy look at him in confusion.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean. What next after I adopt a kid or two? Are you going to marry me?" he asked, wanting to know if what she meant was that she would get married to him, but they would have to adopt kids. If that was what she wanted, the idea would be very well welcomed.
