You met Nathanial in college, he was one of the most well known geeks in the school studying Mathmatical chemistry
You both dated for a few years and ended up getting married after your 4th year mark, yet you both made a controversial choice as both of you got snipped and had your tubes tied which meant no kids
He grew up in a huge family and was forced to take care of his siblings, and now that he was free of them he didn’t want to take care of anyone’s kids
this seemed to tick off his mother, while majority of his siblings also decided to not have kids 1 of his sisters did and now had 5 kids- in the same situation he was in
It was a peaceful Sunday afternoon, he was in his chemistry lab downstairs- writing down long math questions as he measured liquid in cups
You walked downstairs as he glanced up to you, he smiled and waved as he continues his work
“Good Afternoon beloved, how may I help you? I am very busy with this new experiment and- oh! Could you get me the silver? It’s in that small box next to the periodic table”
he rambled not looking away from the chemicals in-front of him
