We both got small cones and walked hand in hand down the street. The sidewalk was crowded on that beautiful Saturday but I was oblivious to all of it. It was just me and Ethan. I finished my ice cream cone before he did. He smiled at me. “I like that you eat like a normal person.” “Well, I’m going to get fat someday.” “When you’re pregnant—but that’s it.” The idea of being pregnant made my heart squeeze. I never considered having kids before. I was still focusing on actually finding a serious boyfriend. Now that I had one, I guess I had to think about it. After being with Elisa’s kids, I knew I wanted one of my own. And I would love to have Ethan as the father. He finished his ice cream then wrapped his arm around me. It almost felt odd that we were strolling down the street like a couple. I’d never done that before. Ethan kissed me on the head as we walked.
