Maggie's predictions proved true; David wrote five best sellers in the next three years. They had sex at every possible opportunity but decided not to actually move in together. Once in a while they would spend the night at one house or the other and weekends in his cabin happened at least once a month. Maggie was happy with this arrangement but she knew that David wanted more. David wanted to start a family. This was one thing she wasn't prepared to do. When he first brought up the subject, she said she would love to have his babies but knew that she would never give up the pill, and if she still became pregnant she would get rid of it quietly.
David wasn't happy. His career was flying high but he felt like he was a failure. He wanted to have a family and it seemed that the wheels turned but he didn't advance an inch. He discussed this with Maggie all the time and she always very understood. She would come to him during day or night to say that she was ovulating and we would try to get her pregnant. He even went to a clinic to see if he had lazy sperm. The doctor put him through a battery of tests and declared him normal. Maggie ovulated monthly, so the problem couldn't be there. He was sure they were doing something wrong, so after years of sharing a relationship he decided it was time to ask Maggie to marry him.
When David proposed to Maggie, she was taken completely by surprise. Her surprise was interpreted by David as female emotion. She needed time to formulate the right answer. She was upset that he wanted to change their present relationship. Her life was exactly how she wanted it. At work it was just a question of time before she would be managing editor at Barnes, Thisson and Noble. Her real dream was to add Daily to the firm's name. "Barnes, Thisson, Noble and Daily," she said as she drove away from the cabin. "That just rolls off the tongue like it's the way it should have always been." She didn't normally talk to herself and chalked it up to the frustrating situation David had put her in. She couldn't understand how he could be so selfish. Children... Children are something anyone can get, she thought. He doesn't have to change his job or way of life to make a family. I have to make all of the sacrifices for his dream. He doesn't have to go through nine months of misery with morning sickness, backaches, a twenty-pound ball for a stomach, stretch marks and being split apart by a screaming little stranger. He puts it all on me; it isn't fair. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. "I'm not going to do it!" There, I've said it. He can knock up some other bimbo to suffer for his dreams.
Once she made her decision she thought she would be happy; but she wasn't. Her thoughts took another road: If I say no he will be upset. If he is upset he may take it out on me. I made him a bestselling author and put him in the position he is now in. If he finds someone else I would lose my control over him and he could eventually go to another publishing house. After voicing all the mental arguments she could muster she came to an unthinkable conclusion; I need him much more than he needs me.
"I would be honored to be your wife," she said the next time they met. "I was taken by surprise when you asked it out of the blue. My emotions overwhelmed me and I needed the extra time to get my thoughts straight. They're now straight and my answer is yes; I love you." She had her thoughts together and her thoughts were that she would never be a mother and she would be able to let David go as soon as she made partner.
"I love you too, and we will make beautiful children together. I want to have a houseful of children." David's mind raced as he mentally visualized the perfect life they would have as husband and wife.
They were married but little did he know that they had two very different agendas. He continued to write; he still wasn't happy and Maggie didn't become pregnant. Once Maggie made partner their relationship seemed to practically melt away. They never had any real disagreements, but once she was partner he felt like she treated him like a very special client than a husband. If he wanted sex, she would dutifully give him what he wanted but she never initiated it. Everything came to a rather abrupt end one fine spring day.
They had just cleaned the sweat, saliva, cum and various juices from their bodies and were drying each other off when David said, "I made us an appointment at a special clinic in Switzerland."
"What on earth do we need with a special clinic?"
