Us Against All Odds (En)

The cocoon

In the splendor of the dawn, your face lights up. I seek you and it is my heart that I find'.

Maya and Carina had finally returned from their evening at Dean's.

-"Seeing you with Pru, I think I've never been so in love with you," said Maya as she came to sit on the couch next to her wife.

- "is it me, or is it seeing me with a baby...or her?"

- "the first two, I don't know how to explain it, but, you had this dynamic, your look, your smile, it's like you were made for it. Is that the reason you became an obstetrician?" She asked as she took her in her arms. The obstetrician's head was now resting under her chin.

- "no, before you, I didn't want a child... It's strange, but it was wanting to make my life with you, that made me want to..."

- "Oh yes, that's right, you already told me about when you were with Arizona."

- "but with you I want everything. Is that cliché?"

- "if it's cliché, then we're both clichés, because I want you to be pregnant, I want us to be a family, away from the ones we grew up in."

- "but you don't want to be pregnant ? Ever?" Asked the brunette as she stood up to look her wife in the eye. They had had this conversation many times before, but now things were getting real.

-"I don't think I'm in that dynamic. If I'm pregnant, I won't see the inside of a fire truck for nine months. And men, they can become fathers in z drop off a hat and they get congratulated with a cigar, but me, I ... I don't think they're going to move me on from that. And I have a career goal, I see myself as Battalion Chief before I'm forty. Granted if you're pregnant, I'll get parental leave, but ..." Her voice was heavy with emotion

- "hey, hey, Bambina, it was just a question. I know how much your work means to you," she said, stroking her cheek.

- "but you also count, and so does our family," she said, putting her hand on her wife's.

- "but if you're okay with me being the one to carry... I just don't want you to regret that decision later." They had intertwined their hands and placed them on the blonde's leg.

-"I never imagined myself as a mother, before you I mean. And it may sound like a guy saying this, but I want to see you pregnant, I want to see your body evolve, give life, I think you will be the most beautiful pregnant woman in the world. Made her by approaching her nose of that of her wife, to rub it against hers.

- "you'll soon get sick of me, I might be a pain in the ass, I might have strange urges, at times that are even more strange."

-"I would bend over backwards for you. Anything you want, I'll get it for you", she said and came to kiss her on the lips.

- "nature is poorly made ..."

- "why?"

-"because I want a child from you, I would like this child to be the two of us, I want us to make love and I want to get pregnant, I want your DNA to impregnate me."

-"I do too, but love, it doesn't work that way," Maya wrinkled her brow, unsure of what to say.

- "yeah so it sucks, that's what I'm saying"

-"I can make love to you all day long, we'll always need a third party. Then it's up to us to choose the right one. The one who will have as much of you as of me. Because this is your egg, but if we make another baby with mine, the donor will not have to look like me."
