My dearest Anya

Do we want a baby?

A year later
Anya's POV
Damian and I have been happily married for a year. We decided that I would stay home and take care of the house and do most of the chores. We decided this together so he's not making me do anything. He has a high paying job so we could afford a house and stuff without me having to work a job. I'm not lazy or anything I just do most of the work around the house. Recently though the house has been feeling empty. Damian comes home from work as I finish cleaning up the living room. I sit down and breathe.

"Hey Darling" he says looking around. "You got a lot done today huh?" He asks. I just nod too out of breath to respond. "Love you don't have to overwork yourself just get done whatever you can and I'll help you with the rest" he says. "Alright" I say. He kisses me on the forehead. I get up and walk to the kitchen when he stops me. "Darling it's my turn to cook" he says. I know it's my turn but maybe he just really wants to cook. So I let him cook. He cooks and we both eat together. He tells me about his day and I just happily listen to what he has to say.

Lately this has been our normal routine. It's not like I want to go on a dangerous adventure or anything I just want something more exciting to happen. I know I'm asking for a lot but I want something exciting to happen. "Damian I'm kind of tired tonight so I'm going to go to bed" I say. He nods and I kiss him. He kisses back and I leave. I walk upstairs to our bedroom and lay down. I close my eyes and fall asleep. Later I hear someone enter the room.

I assume it's Damian but I'm so tired I can't even open my eyes. I feel a pair of hands wrap around my waist. It's definitely Damian. I wake up the next morning and Damian has already gone to work. I get a call that afternoon. I answer it. "Hey Darling how are you doing?" He asks. "I'm doing good" I say. "Good I just wanted to check because you went to sleep early and weren't awake when I left for work" he responds. "Oh yeah no I'm okay I was just really tired for some reason" I reply. We talk for a little bit and then he tells me he has to hang up and I say goodbye. I start working on the house. After I'm done I sit down and relax as I watch a show.

Damian's POV
I've been worried about Anya lately. It seems there's something bothering her but she says she's okay. I'll believe her for now but I'm still a little worried. It's not that I don't want to believe her. It's that she says she's okay but she doesn't seem okay. I should ask her about it later when I get home. I called her earlier to check in on her since she wasn't up early like she usually is. I shouldn't overthink this it could be nothing but I should still ask in case it is something. I love her and I don't want her to be troubled by anything that I can help with.

I continue to think as I finish up my work for the day. My boss comes by and tells me that I can clock out for the day. I nod my head and gather up my things. I grab my phone and stuff it in my pocket. I grab my bag that I took with me to work. I go and clock out and then I head home. I get home and walk through the door. I see Anya curled up on the couch. I walk over to her. "Hey hun you feeling okay?" I ask. "Yeah I'm just like really cold right now" she says. Then I realize it is a little cold in the house.

I walk over to the thermostat to crank up the temperature. It begins to get warmer. I decide to cook again. "Hey wait it's my turn to cook" she whines. "Hm nope I don't think so" I say with a smile as I slightly tease her. She smiles and then starts laughing. "It really is my turn though" she says. "I know but you look so comfortable in that blanket that I didn't want you to have to get up so I'll cook again tonight" I say. She finally agrees.

I cook dinner and the two of us sit down to dinner. I look up at her as she eats. "Anya?" I say. "Yes?" She responds. "Has something been bothering you?" I ask. She sits up straight as if surprised. "H-how did you know?" She asks. "Well I love you and me and you have been together for 6 years but I've loved you for longer. So considering all the time I've spent getting to know you I think I would know when something is bothering you " I explain. She takes a deep breath. "I k ow we're young but the house feels empty and I-I want to have a small...." She trails off. "You want to have kids?" I ask. She looks up with a sparkle in her eyes. "Yes" she says with the brightest smile. "Okay then after dinner we'll discuss what we can do about that because there are a few different options" I say. She nods happily.

We finish eating and she cleans up the dishes. I sit her down in the living room. "Honey do you want to adopt or do you want your own biological children? It won't change my mind about you whatever you say" I say. She sits and thinks about it for a moment. Then she looks up at me. "I want to have our own children and after if we want more we can decide what to do then" she says. I agree. "Okay then we should start trying for a baby" I say. Her eyes light up and she smile. I kiss her forehead and we both head to bed. She curls into my chest as we both fall asleep.
