G: adie, i'm sorry
A: *rolls eyes*
G: i mean it...i...i'm not ready for kids
A: that's apparent
G: I just...i guess in a way I didn't wanna let you down
She looks away from the kids on the carousel, looks at me for a minute, shakes her head, and then back at the kids
G: I just don't...want to fuck up...i mean I really just don't feel...safe enough for kids yet
A: ...

She looks at me this time keeping eye contact
A: ...what?

G: yeah I just um...think we should wait a couple years
A: so...we HAVE thought about it?
G: *chuckle* yeah...we agree I'm not ready yet...i can tell you're already mentally preparing for motherhood, to say the least...we'll talk about it later...and I mean it this time, okay?
A: okay...
We both watch the kids running around the zoo's playground. I put my arm around her waist and pull her a lil closer
A: stop that
G: aw come on babe...i said sorry
I notice her trying not to crack so I move my hand and squeeze her thigh, which I know she's fatal for. She leans her head on my shoulder
A: you make it so hard to hate you...yanno that? like it's REALLY annoying sometimes
G: ...does that mean all is forgiven?
A: *happy sigh* yeah okay, you win...you eating that cotton candy
