As me and my partner sit in their parents house, Thanksgiving dinner happening around us, my eyes can’t stop drifting to their older siblings child. I want one of my own. And that drive only increases when I see how good at being a parent my partner is. When they baby talk to the baby as they walk by. My heart throbs. After the dinner I walk into the living room I see them.Holding the baby in their arms as their family cleans up the table.

"Oh Darling."

I whisper and sit down next to them.
