Trigger warning: abortion

"WHAT'S WRONG?" I questioned Giovanni.
He's been quiet these days. I don't know if I did something wrong or if he's having second thoughts about us.
We are currently at his house, it's cold outside so he suggested we start a fire and cuddle.
He pulled me closer and began to play with my hair. "Nothing," he whispered.
My back is pressed against his body while we lay on the carpet, a blanket covering our bodies. I proceeded to watch the fire slowly burn the wood.
"What happens after this?" His voice came out soft. I narrowed my eyebrows, lifting my head to find Giovanni already staring at me. "What do you mean?" I replied.
"All this," he said.
What happens after this?
I haven't had time to think about that. I don't usually think about the future. I don't know where I see myself in ten years.
Dead maybe.
Or
I stepped down and someone else took my place.
"I don't know," I answered truthfully. "What about starting your own family?" Says Giovanni when he catches my gaze.
I cleared my throat.
"I don't plan on starting my own family."
I don't think I would be suited to be a mother. When I was a teenager I decided to not have kids. I don't want to bring my child into this unpleasant world.
The fact that I am a criminal with enemies will be a risk. Being paranoid 24/7 knowing that my child isn't safe even with me breaks my heart.
"What about you?" I murmur. "I plan on starting a family." he smiles to himself, and for some inexplicable reason, I find myself blushing.
"Whoever will be the mother of your kids is lucky."
He raises his eyebrows, a cool gleam in his eyes. Giovanni and I stare at each other. It's like he's trying to read me. Pressing my forehead against his, I bit my lower lip and continued to admire him.
"You would be a great mother Gabriella," he whispered, placing his hand on my right cheek.
I leaned in, closed my eyes, and sighed. "I don't see it."
