Negotiations

Now that Mr. Rogue and I are engaged a world of topics about our future and our goals has opened up. Things that I was uncomfortable bringing up before he proposed were now topics that we were both discussing animatedly over dinner. Today was a conversation about children. Since I was a little girl I always wanted a large family, I used to think a bakers dozen would be a perfect number but after I realized what the birthing process entailed and learned that the economics of such a large brood would cut back considerably on our quality of life I decided an even 4 biological children would be perfect. And then after the 4 I would be very interested in looking at fostering or adopting a few more.

Mr. Rogue unfortunately was not as thrilled with this plan, he then said that 4 is to much, more than 4 is insane, that he was not very interested in adopting and that 2 biological children is more likely. When I mentioned that really I was already cutting back from 12 to 4 plus the adoptees and that we could talk about adopting, if that was REALLY something that he was not open to then there are other ways I can help children in need with volunteering, but that I was really not interested in having less than 4 kids. We talked/argued for a few hours and then ended up with the resolution that we would have two and then reassess our situation on weather or not we should have more. I will slowly chink at his armour and there will at the very least be three little people in my near future.
