Jason loved you. Sure every relationship had its ups and downs, but your love for each-other triumphed it all- until you confessed to wanting kids.

Wanting a family was normal. It was a nice thought, to have a family with someone, a sense of normalcy- butJason? A father? Give him a break. He felt broken. An empty shell of a man, and now you wanted to add children to the mix? What then- would he have to give up his vigilante days forever?

Ever since that discussion, your relationship became tense. Your discussions became shorter, distance became longer, and your usual affections came to a screeching halt. He was sitting on the edge of your shared bed, lost in thought before he looked up and saw you open the door, home from work.

“You’re back early,” Jason said in a gruff voice.
