"NO!" He screamed storming out of the room. I sat there, silent
"NO!" He screamed storming out of the room. I sat there, silent tears rolling down my face. Forty-two, and childless with no hope of conceiving. Things had been tense between us recently, and they were going to get worse.
The suns were setting as we made our way home. I decided to make some brownies for him. Something to cheer him up. We journeyed home in silence. Once home Max headed upstairs and I commenced the baking. Watching the monitor I waited for the brownies to finish. I turned on the travel channel and decided to investigate the options further. One trip caught my attention. It was a two-month cruise to unexplored areas on a scientific ship. I clicked the book-it button and that was it. Now to get Max excited about the trip. There wasn't much time to do so, the ship left in the morning.
I took a plate of brownies up to him and placed them on the nightstand. His eyes remained fixed on the ceiling in an unblinking stare.
"I brought you some brownies. Aren't you going to have any?" I questioned.
He rolled his eyes and sat up. He grabbed a brownie and shoved it into his mouth.
"Thanks." He said as he chewed. "You're the best Gabby. I'm sorry I can't produce offspring." He remarked.
"I married you because I love you. We can adopt!"
He looked lovingly at me.
"I know, but... I'm just genetic engineering gone haywire!"
I took him in my arms, and stroked his violet locks. "I don't care. I love you, and all your genetic flaws!"
Before I knew it, I was blurting out the news.
"I've booked us on an adventure to the unknown!"
His jaw dropped.
"You did what?" I watched the color drain from his face.
"I booked us on a cruise. We leave in the morning." I barely heard him mumble something about having a bad feeling.
"It's an adventure, for crying out loud," I said. "What could possibly go wrong?"
