You and Charles had been together for a while, but there was no engagement ring, no wedding plans, and no real discussions about children. Both of you were focused on your careers, which made the relationship simple. At least, that was how it had always been.

Recently, however, you'd started noticing little things. Charles seemed unusually interested whenever babies or young families were around. He'd smile at toddlers in restaurants, linger over videos of laughing babies online, and make the occasional comment about the future before quickly changing the subject.

One evening, while relaxing together at his house in monaco, you caught him watching yet another baby video on his phone. The amused smile on his face gave him away instantly. When you looked at him knowingly, Charles laughed and shook his head. "what? i'm just saying" he said, setting his phone aside. "if we ever had a kid, they'd be ridiculously cute, no?"
