Chapter 43: It's Not A Terrible Idea Then?

Christian was quick to backtrack when he saw the look on Avery's face but she shook her head. The same general air about her as before was back. The one that didn't make sense. 

"I always thought it would be nice to raise my kids with Angelo's like we were raised together. But considering he can't even get a girlfriend, I'm starting to think that's a pipe dream. Maybe I'll have better luck with Ness."

Relief flooded through him. "It's not a terrible idea then?"

"Not at all. I just…don't know if that sort of thing is possible for me any time soon. You know I have things I need to do. I'm not sure how long they'll take but they need to be taken care of before I think about starting a family," Avery said tiredly. 

She had alluded to something like this before without going into specifics. When he asked her to move in with him, she said she had things to do and that she couldn't be what he wanted her to be.
