Realizing her words might have come off a bit too strong, she quickly backpedaled, "I was just making an analogy!"
"Well, even that analogy is off-limits."
Everett couldn't even stand to hear it!
"Alright, I'll drop it!" Dorothy waved her hands dismissively, "What I mean is, some things are just left to fate! We should focus on whether we're happy now, that's all that matters. Dwelling on what ifs is just asking for trouble."
If fate decided their time was up, then even without children, even if everything else was perfect, disaster could still strike out of nowhere.
Everett had made Dorothy increasingly aware of this fact, so she wasn't afraid.
On the contrary, she genuinely felt that if she could spare Everett any regrets, that would be meaningful.
Especially since he loved kids so much.
He would be an amazing dad!
Having another baby for him meant there would be one more child in the world deeply cherished by their father. How wonderful would that be?
Everett pursed his lips, still hesitating.
Dorothy got up and walked over to him, taking his hand, "Aren't you the one who promised to fulfill all my wishes?"
"As long as it doesn't harm you, I'm willing to agree to anything else."
"But when you made that promise, there were no conditions attached!"
"..."
Dorothy chuckled, "Everett, it's time our family welcomed a new life! It would give both you and me, new hope."
Seeing her so determined, Everett knew deep down he would give in.
When it came to Dorothy, he seemed to have no choice but to compromise.
Even though he appeared to be the dominant force in their relationship, in reality, Dorothy always had the upper hand! Whatever Everett did, it was ultimately guided by her wishes.
"Trust me."
In the end, all Everett could do was sigh.
"Just don't forget what you promised me last night."
"No choice! You're the one who brought this upon yourself, so you'll just have to spoil me."
Everett finally laughed, his lips curving upwards, "Yes, I'll just have to spoil you."
"So, should we go and make it official? We can hold off on the wedding, but let's make it legal."
Dorothy said, looking into Everett's eyes.
He furrowed his brows slightly, his lips tight, "That's something I should be suggesting!"
"Why so many rules? It doesn't matter who suggests it." She shrugged, "Anyway, I don't see myself marrying anyone else in this lifetime."
Everett was her only option.
Whether there was a proposal or any ceremony, Dorothy really didn't care.
But Everett cared a lot.
"I'll pretend I didn't hear that. I'll be the one to bring it up officially."

Why didn't Jeffrey call Everett from the office? Lock his door instruct security to not let anyone in and speak to Everett on the phone? Or send him a text giving him a quick summary of what's up and that he's on his way over. That way when he runs into Heather on his way out he informs her Everett already knows....
