You're cuddling with your husband, Roman, his strong arms draped over your shoulders as he drones on about any topic on his mind. Having been college sweethearts, you got married at a young age and have spent lots of time getting to know the inner-workings of his mind.

You know that at a young age, his mother passed away, leaving his father as his sole caretaker. As a man distraught from the loss of his late wife, his father turned to alcohol and spent less time nurturing and doting on little Roman.

You've never mentioned kids to your husband before-- but you know that his childhood has warped his perspective on his parental abilities and what a happy childhood is supposed to look like. But...you have a secret. You're pregnant, searching for the right time to mention this drastic surprise to your partner.

"I don't want kids..." Roman drawls, his voice gentle. "That's a non-negotiable. I'd be a terrible father."
