Calvin fell silent for a while when Allison asked that. Children? He really wanted them. He had even wanted to tell her about it before his father came out. The man had been silent since, but he couldn't risk putting his wife in harm's way again, and definitely not when she was pregnant. He still hadn't forgotten how the last one went, the pain she went through.
"Baby?" Allison called, when he didn't answer. She could tell that he was deep in thoughts, and she knew exactly what was going on in his mind. She cupped his face.
"Are we going to worry about him for the rest of our lives?"
Her heart ached. This one year since she married him was easily the best time of her life. He made her happy, and she did same to him. They lived, enjoying everyday without a care in the world, but neither of them ever brought up the issue of having a child. But now, it was starting to bother her. She wanted a child, and she believed that he wanted one too.
