moonheartIt's so nice to have options.
Option One: Bite the bullet and get married, maybe even pop out *gulp* a baby to make him happy. Feel old for the rest of my already freakishly long existence. When he's gone, be forced into the awkward position of being our kid's only living parent, and a really ineffective one at that. Hopefully, they'd be old enough to not need any sort of parental involvement at that point, but what if they're weird and they do? Also, I have no idea what to do with a baby. Also, I have a job that requires me to never sit still and sometimes parents have to sit still. And I need Torrigan with me, so he can't be the one sitting still either. So this option amounts to being a really crappy parent and disappointing both Touchstone, and our kid.
Option Two: Back out of it and face that look of crushing disappointment on his face. Doubled guilt after he says that he doesn't care, and I know that he's sort of telling the truth. He doesn't care if it's what I want, he would mean. But I know what he wants. Worse - I know what he deserves.
Option Three: Run away and become a pirate. Looking better every day.
