Over the last few months Mandy had been struggling internally. She had been contemplating breaking up with Randy. Mandy was once again at the sign language convention for children. Jennifer had went this time as well. Mandy was meeting up with Randy in a few days. Randy was going to be having a autograph signing in the area. It was night time. Mandy was hanging out in Jennifer's hotel room.

What's wrong with you Mandy? Jennifer signed.

I'm thinking about breaking up with Randy. She signed sadly.

Why?

I'm pretty sure he wants more kids.

Since when?

Two months ago on Alanna's birthday, he asked me if I knew the percentage of a baby I had being born deaf. Ever since then I've just got vibes he wants a baby.

Now?

No. Since I don't, it could be a major problem.

You know, if you guys ever do decide to have kids, the cochlear implant is an option.

I could never afford the cochlear implant.

I know Randy could.

I don't even know if it would work on a baby. I hope I'm wrong. I don't think I am, but I hope. I don't want to leave him Jennifer. I love him.

I know you do.

This is killing me.

Two nights later Mandy was walking down the hall to Randy's hotel room. Ironically this was the exact day they first met. She was hoping the conversation they were about to have didn't mean the end of their relationship. She took a deep breath, unlocked the door and went inside. He was sitting on the couch.

"Hi." He said.

"Hi." They kissed.

What's wrong baby? He signed noticing the sad look on her face.

Randy we have to have a serious talk, and I need you to be completely honest. She signed.

Ok.

Do you want more children?

Mandy...

Please just answer me.

Yes.

So what you're saying is you lied to me?

Yes I did, I'm sorry.

I think we should break up. She signed with tears in her eyes.

No please, I love you. This is why I lied. I don't want you to leave me.

I love you too but I don't want to deprive you of something you want.

I don't just want kids with some random woman. I want kids with you.

I won't give you that I'm sorry.

I know you're scared of what might be wrong with the baby if we had one. It could be perfectly fine.

I'm not willing to take that risk. You want kids and I don't. If it could just be you, me and Alanna everything would be fine. It obviously can't be. I blame myself. I should've told you sooner. She started to cry. If things were different, if I were normal-

You are normal.

We have to end this Randy, I'm sorry. She went to get up. Randy stopped her and kissed her. She kissed him back. After a few minutes she knew if she didn't leave right then, they would probably end up having sex. She broke the kiss and left.

Randy had felt like his heart had just been ripped out. When Mandy got to the elevator she broke down crying.
