94. YES
She’s going to. She woke up with the clear decision in her mind at 5 a.m.
and woke me up to let me know. She was a little jubilant. I wasn’t sure
how I would feel, but have a taste of jubilation too. Why shouldn’t she
and I choose parenthood? We aren’t children anymore ourselves. We
barely use intoxicants, between the two of us. Both work. Two decent
temperaments. The biggest question mark is our relationship—we’re
really way too new to contemplate a kid—and wouldn’t have—but then
it contemplated us. We weren’t brash, nor contraception-careless.
She just—we both—after careful thought assented to a serendipity.
