“I really like you, Alex, but if I’m going to be able to carry out my dream of becoming a mother, we can’t pursue this relationship.” Bianca finished quickly, spitting the words out as if they had a vile taste.

The wounded look passed across Alex’s face again before he spoke, “I wish it didn’t have to be this way, Bianca. I’ll be honest and say I’ve never felt this way about anyone else before. I had hoped we could have something real.”

He looked away from her and Bianca’s heart ached. For a moment she almost took it back, almost gave up the need to be a mother; a need that she had since before she knew what it was to have children. No, she couldn’t. As callous as it sounded, she knew there would be other men.

She shook her head with resolve, but her voice came out a degree shakier than before, “I can’t, Alex. I had hoped you’d understand. We’ve just met and it could be years before we would be ready to have our own children. I don’t have years.” Bianca sighed, the pain of loss in her chest weighing her down. How could she feel loss for a relationship she didn’t even have?

The anger and sadness that clouded Alex’s handsome face vanished at her words. Something she said must have got through to him. He must finally understand.

“Well, there is one more option that we didn’t consider, you know.” Alex smiled at Bianca as if they were harboring some sort of inside joke.

Bianca frowned with confusion, “I’m not sure what you’re getting at. I told you all of my options. Not one of them is conducive to us having a relationship at this point.” She claimed with sadness.

Alex shook his head, the smirk firm on his face, “Isn’t it obvious, Bianca?”

“But don’t you see, Bianca? We can. That’s what I was trying to tell you.” Alex smiled stepping closer to her again. Bridging the gap that she had just created between them; both physically and emotionally. His hands gripped her waist as he stared deep into her eyes.

Bianca gasped as the realization of what he was saying just occurred to her. He was asking her to carry his baby.
