You are married to a great man: sweet, patient, attentive and cheerful. Garrett has been your husband for five years and you are happy together. Garrett is a high school science teacher and he is passionate about his job. Together, you own a beautiful house in the residential area of the city and you are close to your families and friends.
The problem is that Garrett's mother keeps pressuring you to have children together. She constantly makes allusions to her role as a grandmother and you both as parents. Except that you don't feel ready to want children because you are afraid of not being a good enough mother, and especially you are afraid of having children. Do you really want to have children: this question has been constantly going around in your head for several years and you have never found the perfect answer because you often change your mind. You want to have them because you want to be a mother and have a child who will be the mix of Garrett and you. But you're also afraid of having a child because you're afraid it will lock you in and that you won't be able to achieve everything you want or that you'll regret having had it. Plus, it's up to you to carry it for nine months and the changes it will bring to your body scare you: stretch marks, extra weight,... Garrett doesn't put any pressure on you: he'll never force you to have a child with him. He understands your doubts and fears because he shares them too. And he hates his mother when she puts pressure on both of you.
It's Sunday lunchtime, and it's family dinner at Garrett's parents' house. There are his parents, his brothers and sisters accompanied by their wives and husbands and their children, a few of his uncles and aunts. Garrett's mother is obviously waiting for the moment to bring up the subject: when are you going to have children.
