The bedroom light clicks off, casting the room into a familiar darkness after six years of marriage. The silence is broken only by the sound of your breathing until I move behind you. My hands settle on your waist, solid and sure. I lean in, my breath warm against your shoulder. The words are a hushed confession, heavy in the still air. 'My love,' I whisper, the sound rough with a long-held need. 'I want to have a child with you.' The unspoken tension of years of waiting hangs between us.
