That cliffhanger was not fair!
How does Kate tell Anthony that baby Ned’ll come to be? How long does it take for baby Neddy to come to be? Is he a honeymoon baby? Do they plan the time for him to be born in the off-season?
Give us smth to survive that chapter ending, pleaseeee
I actually think little Neddy is a planned addition to their family. I think they’ve been married for a bit more than a year when Kate sits across from Anthony out at dinner. His season’s just about to start and she hasn’t been able to stop thinking about it recently. Ever since she watched him at that kids skate clinic he did a few weeks ago. She wants that for them. They’ve talked about it before in a vague, yeah let’s have kids, sort of way. But not seriously. It’s something they both know they want so Kate’s not too worried about the conversation she just… can’t stop thinking about it and she wants to know where he’s at in the process.
“So I’ve been thinking.” She cleared her throat, setting down her wine glass.
Anthony lifted his eyebrows, looking nervous, “I… are you threatening to divorce me for eating your KitKat again?”
Kate chuckled, “No. But I’m now kind of pissed about the KitKat.”
“I got you a new one! I just thought you recognised the aura had changed.”
Kate let out a laugh despite herself, “I love you.”
“Me too.” Anthony grinned, relaxing visibly.
“That’s kind of what I wanted to talk about.” She cleared her throat again, “I’ve been thinking recently, and I think I’m ready for a baby. I want to have a baby. And I don’t want to pressure you if you aren’t ready I guess I’m just trying to gauge where you’re at.”
Anthony looked at her for a second, his eyes fixed firmly on hers before he cleared his throat and flagged down a waiter. “Hi, sorry, my wife and I have to head out. Can we get this boxed up and um… just a mixture of desserts. Whatever is fine.”
Kate blinked at him as the waiter retreated. “Ant, we don’t have to leave, I just-“
Anthony scoffed, “Well we can’t have sex on this table, can we?!”
Kate’s heart stuttered, and then she smiled, catching up with him. “I didn’t mean we had to start right now.”
Anthony rolled his eyes, “Like I’m gonna let an offer like this pass me by. Your underwear’s coming off in the car please. Preparation and all that.”
“Bold of you to assume I put any on tonight. Preparation and all that.”
“That’s my fucking girl.”
