When I got home, I was tired. Then go take a shower and go straight to sleep. I spent the day with Karin. I need to tell someone what I knew from the Doctor two days ago. I was still surprised to learn that I was pregnant. Keeping secrets that big is hard. I had to share it with someone and since I was hesitant to tell David first, I had to share it with my best friend.
Karin thought it was good news and congratulated me. He was generally excited for me. I want to be excited and happy about it, because it's great news, but I'm worried how David reacts. Ever since David and I fought over the issue of having children. I still didn't know how to deliver this news to him, so I decided to wait. I also want to tell mom about it and ask her advice.
"Hey." David greeted me as I walked into the room.
"Oh, hey. I didn't know you were home." I told her.
"I came home early today." David said to me. "I tried to call you."
"Isn't he?" I said as I pulled out my phone and saw my phone off. "Sorry, my battery's dead."
"It's okay. But I was a little worried when I couldn't reach you." David said to me.
"I was with Karin all day. If I knew you'd be home early, I'd borrow his phone and call."
"It's okay. I called Karin a few minutes ago when I couldn't reach you and she told me that you had just come home. " David responded.
"Oh. Like I said before, I'm sorry about that." I told her.
"I bought your favorite sandwich." David said to me.
"Okay, thank you." I'm nodding. "I'm gonna take a shower."
"Naomi, wait!." David stopped.
"Why?" I asked him
"We need to talk."
"About what?"
"About everything that's happened in the last few days." David responded. "We're not being nice, the argument we did yesterday. Our disagreement."
"We need to talk about this." David said to me. "If we delay this now, we may never discuss it. Why don't you sit for a few minutes? I promise it won't be long."
"David, I really don't want to argue anymore, especially tonight." I told him.
"I don't either, that's why I want us to discuss this now." David said to me. "Please sit next to me for a few minutes."
"All right." I let out a long sigh as I went to sit next to him.
"First of all, I want to apologize to you for yelling at you the other day. I know that I'm wrong, selfish and completely inconsiderate." David said to me. "We haven't been married for a whole month, but we've been struggling and it doesn't look healthy at all. That was the last thing I wanted and I'm sorry for continuing to argue. I know that we never really talked about having kids before, and I .... "
"David, can we not discuss this now?"
"I really think it's best, if we just avoid it." David said to me. "We're not going to go into it any further and maybe that's why you might think that I don't care when I say that I don't want to have any more children."
"David, please. I don't want to discuss now. I'm tired of that."
"I'm sorry, I just want you to know why I said that" David told me. "And I believe if you hear what I'm saying, you'll understand. I want to make it up to you, too."
"David, I want to tell you something too." I said nervously. "Before you tell me why you don't want a child anymore. Do you ever want to change your mind about that?"
"No, Naomi. It was a difficult decision, not because I was selfish or didn't care about your feelings, but it was more of an experience I had ...."
"David you still haven't answered my question."
"I honestly don't want Naomi. It's a very difficult choice for me. Over the years, I've made the decision that if I don't want another child, it will be difficult to change that decision now, but ... "
"David, I don't know what to say, but maybe it's time you reconsider or try to address it." I told her. "That's not something I can change and it doesn't make sense I try to hide it longer because you'll definitely find out."
"Naomi, what are you talking about?" David asked confusedly.
"David, I know you don't want any more children, but I'm pregnant."
