Gyna sighed as she opened the door and walked inside, closing it behind her. She walked over to the hallway closet and hung her light brown coat before closing the door and walking over to the couch, stretching her petite frame on it.
Her long, dark brown hair spilled over one of the cushions as she laid down her 5'0 tall body, simple jeans and a black tank top enhancing her bronze colored skin, light brown eyes and those curves that made evident her Latin heritage. She was the sporty type, specially loving swimming, so she kept in shape. Today, her double work shift in the zoo and the wildlife reserve had been especially tiring, having started since 6am. After a few moments of rest she headed towards the kitchen to start making dinner.
Patrick was looking at Gyna as she entered the kitchen, with a smile on his face. He was dressed in a pair of jeans, and a t-shirt. It was his normal attire, which was one of the perks of his job as a computer programmer. He was about 6'0 tall and average weight. His hazel eyes sparkled as she entered the kitchen.
"Now Honey, what are you doing in here?" He asked grinning at her. "Now go back and rest beautiful, I've already taken care of dinner, it should be ready in about 30 minutes, go rest, and I'll be in the living room in a few minutes to join you." He didn't give Gyna a chance to respond as he ushered her out the door.
A few minutes later Patrick smiled seeing his beautiful wife resting on the couch. He passed her a glass of wine. "I know you had a long day today, so since I was able to get out of work early, I came home and made you dinner, figured that would help." He smiled at her. "I also made sure that the laundry was started and everything else was taken care of." He gave her a long kiss. "Now Honey how was your day?"
Gyna chuckled and took a sip from her wine before setting it down on the table. "What? No kiss?" she said in a teasing voice as she leaned over to kiss him softly on the lips before rearranging herself on the couch. "Work was great. We finally released that puma we found two weeks ago inside the reserve. The rest was all normal check ups and the like"
Animals were her passion. Since Gyna was a child, she always wanted to be a vet. After a couple of years and a few sacrifices here and there she managed to finish quite earlier than expected. She worked at both the local zoo and a wildlife reserve 15 minutes from their home, some days, like today, working on both. But she wouldn't change it for the world.
"How was your day, love?" Gyna asked as she took a moment to smell the delicious scents coming from the kitchen. It's smelled like Patrick had gone all out tonight "You know maybe you should be the wife. You seem to be making more and more dinners for me instead of the other way around" she said jokingly as she snuggled against him.
"It was my typical day, really boring since we just shipped our major product for the next couple of months last week, was able to get home earlier then I expected anyway." He gave her a nice long kiss as he held her close. "Baby, you know wife is just a title, it doesn't mean you need to cook and clean and everything, and you're doing quite well with your career and whatever I can do to help your career I will do." He said holding her close.
They both looked at each other, holding each other close, as supper finished cooking. Patrick refilled Gyna's glass of wine, as he served them both a roast of lamb, with some carrots, potatoes and peas. He smiled at her, giving her a long kiss, as the table was set perfectly for a romantic dinner. "Now you enjoy baby." He said looking at her. "Honey, I want to talk about us having a child."
Gyna looked at the food in her plate and smiled. He really was a great cook. At his words she bit her lip lightly and quickly considered the possibility. They were both responsible and she knew that he wouldn't even suggested unless they were both ready. Slowly, she lifted her gaze up to meet his, blushing lightly "Do you think we're ready, Sweetie?" she asked softly as she took a bite from the lamb.
They had talked about this since they'd started their relationship almost 5 years ago. After agreeing that they'd meet and get married after she moved to Canada to study and he graduated, they also agreed to wait until she had finished vet school and had a job. It had cost both of them hard work to keep their relationship going strong, and had been rewarded with living together sooner that they both thought possible.
He looked at her and took a drink of his wine. "Well baby, is anyone ever fully ready to become parents." He said looking at her. "I think we are as ready as anyone can ever be to move forward to try to have a child." He took another sip of his wine. "I just want to know one thing baby, what about your career, having a child is going to mean needing to take time off work and everything, especially for you." He looked at her. "I would be willing to stay around the house after you need to go back to work, but still it means a dent in your career, can you deal with that?"
This was a topic that they never really talked about before, but it was an important one. If they had a child Gyna would need to take a break from work for at least a couple months, her career though right now was going so well, was she willing to place her career that she loved so much on the backburner for a child. He looked at her, and he could tell Gyna was thinking long about this. He smiled at her, he could tell that no matter what they decided the decision wasn't made lightly.
