What I Never Knew I Needed

Ch. 3 - The Beginning of the End

We made it to the candle lit table for two situated towards the back of the restaurant. We had enough space from other tables to where we had privacy, but not too much to where we felt secluded. We also had a perfect view of the setting sun over the bay with Tampa's skyline in the distance. It was nice.

We finished up our dessert, complimentary from the restaurant because it was our anniversary. I couldn't help but let out a satisfied sigh. That was some of the best fucking food I have ever eaten. As it should be too because it was hella expensive. As I was sitting there trying not to slip into a food-coma, a thought popped into my mind.

"Hey, Kev?"

"Yeah, babe what's up."

"Have you given any more thought about starting a family?"

Kev halted all movements and went a couple shades lighter than he was a moment ago.

"We did start a family, Y/N, three years ago."

"Kev, you know what I mean. I know we haven't talked about it in a while but when we got married, we said we would start trying after our three year anniversary and well, it's our three year anniversary" I said carefully as a let out a small chuckle to try and lessen the tension. Then I thought, we're talking about children, why is there tension when he told me he wanted them in the first place.

I looked at Kev and saw him swirling his spoon in the melted vanilla ice cream on our dessert plate. His body language was setting off alarms in my head.

I knew what I had to ask next but I was terrified of the answer. I've wanted kids my entire life. I want to be a mom so fucking bad. If he tells me he changed his mind, I don't know what I'm going to do.

"...Do you not want kids anymore?"

My question was met with more silence which was honestly worse than if he would have spoken.

"Kevin. Answer me"

Still more silence. And it pissed me the fuck off.

"KEVIN!" I raised my voice. Chatter around the restaurant stopped and eyes looked our way. I could tell I embarrassed him but I didn't give a fuck at the moment. I needed a damn answer.

"Y/N can we seriously not talk about this right now? Were in a nice fucking restaurant and people are staring."

I looked at him in utter disbelief, and the only reason I didn't fight back was because the food here is too damn good and I didn't want to be banned from the restaurant.

"Fine. But this conversation isn't over." I snarled as I stood up and tossed my napkin on the table. "I'll be waiting outside." I stormed off leaving him with that big ass bill.

This mother fucker has some explaining to do.

A/N: Sorry this is such a short chapter today. I'll probably be posting one more today, if not two to make up for it!
