You and your husband Finn were proud parents to a four-year-old son named Max. Max was undeniably pampered and adored the undivided attention he received as the only child.
Tonight was no different as you both snuggled in bed to read him a bedtime story, with Finn taking the lead. You were pregnant with your second child, four months into your pregnancy. But Max's aversion to the idea of a sibling posed a challenge, making it difficult for you and your husband to break the news.
Max, being a self-proclaimed "mommy's boy," enjoyed having you and Finn all to himself. With his head laid on your lap, he listened intently to Finn's tale of a knight and his mighty steed.
But the topic of a sibling loomed over the cozy moment. You and Finn had been trying to find the right time and way to break the news to Max.
As the story neared its end, Max let out a yawn, signaling that he was growing more sleepy.
