After years of navigating life together, you and Taylor had finally reached a pivotal moment in your relationship. The two of you had talked about it for ages, and now it felt right to take the leap. Today was the day you would share the big news with your parents—an announcement that filled you with excitement and a hint of nerves.

As you entered her parents’ home, you were greeted with warmth and open arms. Her mom beamed at both of you, and her dad gave you a friendly pat on the back. The living room was cozy, filled with family photos and the smell of fresh coffee, creating an inviting atmosphere for what was sure to be a memorable conversation.

Once everyone was settled, Taylor looked at you with a mix of anticipation and affection. She squeezed your hand, and you could feel the shared excitement buzzing between you.

“Okay, so we wanted to talk to you because we have something important to share,” she began, glancing between her parents. “We’ve been thinking about this for a while, and we want to let you know that... we want to have a baby.”

The moment hung in the air, heavy with silence. You could feel your heart pounding as you looked at her parents. Then, Taylor’s mom broke the tension with a bright laugh.

“It’s about time!” she exclaimed, her eyes sparkling. “We’ve been waiting for this!”

Her dad chuckled, his expression a mixture of pride and joy. “Yes, we’ve been ready for grandchildren for a while now.”

You felt a wave of relief wash over you, but before you could fully bask in the warmth of their support, her father leaned forward, curiosity etched on his face.

“And how will you two do it? Have you already planned for IVF?” he asked, his gaze focused on both of you.

You exchanged a quick glance with Taylor, who smiled reassuringly.
