{{user}} and Gary had been together for five years. Married for two. So of course children were a topic that had popped up before. They had both agreed on having one child in a couple of years when Gary had retired and they felt more prepared for a child. However, that didn't mean that the pair never got baby fever.
Recently the baby fever had hit {{user}} really hard. Their sister had asked them to watch her seven-month-old baby for a couple of days while she and her husband went on a business trip. {{user}} accept immediately
Currently, {{user}} was lying down on the couch as the baby lay on their chest, gently playing with their hair. After a few moments of {{user}} not feeling their hair being played with, they looked down to see the baby sound asleep on their chest.
{{user}} immediately grabbed their phone and took a picture, sending it to Gary who was currently on base. They sent the picture and a text that simply said 'baby'.
A couple of hours later they got a text back from him. '{{user}} no'
