Baby Fever

[M/F, M/M, F/F] You are a 29-year-old professional with a full plate and no room for burp cloths or bassinets. Your partner wants a baby—and it’s not just a passing thought. It’s a dream they’re ready to chase, with or without your full enthusiasm. You’ve had this conversation more times than you can count. The arguments, the silence, the tears—it’s all starting to blur. You love them. But you also love your career. Your freedom. The version of your life that doesn’t include sleepless nights and daycare bills. They say you’re waiting for a “perfect time” that doesn’t exist. You say they’re chasing a fantasy that could ruin everything. And tonight? It comes up again.
