"happy holidays, mrs chalamet! wonderful to see you again." i said as i hugged mrs chalamet and walked through the door of timmy's childhood home. we spent christmas eve together with them every year, and this year was no different.

timmy and i walked in, food and gifts in hand, ready for what was usually a fun night. nicole had prepared a big meal for us and we were excited to eat it all and catch up. it had been a while since we had seen timmy's family and i missed them, i genuinely enjoyed their company and i loved being around them and listening to their stories about timmy.

timmy and i have been married for a year now. it was wonderful to still be in the honeymoon phase even after being with him for so long. we rarely fought and we loved being together, we genuinely can't get enough of each other.

i knew awkward conversations were going to come up, the way they always did when you go to your partner's parents house, no matter how long you've been together.

"so, (y/n), timmy, when am i gonna be a grandma?" i choked on my food. it had been brought up briefly, but i don't want to have kids. timmy knows this, but i think he always thought i would end up changing my mind. this wasn't something i was going to change my mind about. i haven't ever been able to see myself as a mother.

timmy squeezed my hand. the last thing he knew was that i didn't want to be a mom. apparently he never informed his mother of my ideas.

"umm, mrs chalamet, i don't plan on having children. i've never felt i was the right kind of person to be a mother. selfishly, i'd rather be able to travel and see the world and go on priceless adventures. if i became pregnant i would keep it, however i don't plan on ever having children." the look of shock on his parents faces caused my stomach to drop.

"oh, well it's just we've always seen timmy as being a father. tim, did you know this?" his dad asked and timmy nodded. "i've known for a while. she told me shortly before i proposed. i just always thought she'd change her mind after we got married, but she's stubborn." timmy laughed and i smiled, squeezing his hand, finally eliciting a smile from him.

"i'm not sure why timmy would marry someone who doesn't want to have children. that just seems foolish." one of his cousins spoke up from the end of the table and my head dropped. i knew they wouldn't approve and i wish timmy would've told them himself so i didn't have to tell them.

i stood up from my chair, releasing my hand from timmy's, causing him to give me a concerned look. i kissed his hair and excused myself from the table, walking outside of the chalamet family home.

it was absolutely freezing, and as i sat on the porch the cold started to become unbearable. i forgot a jacket. suddenly a warmth enclosed me and i knew it was timmy. he draped my jacket around my shoulders and sat down next to me, pulling me into his side, kissing me on the temple.

i leaned into his touch and sighed, silent tears coming from my eyes. timmy gave me a look of concern and wiped my tears with the pads of his thumbs.

"i'm sorry, i should've told them. i genuinely thought you would eventually change your mind." he said and i sighed. "tim, honestly, were you hoping i would?" i asked him, my hands shaking. timmy seemed to notice and grabbed them, steadying me.

"i guess. i mean, i knew i would be okay if you didn't change your mind but i'm not opposed to being a father." he shrugged but i wasn't convinced. "timmy, if you want to be a dad we can have kids. or you can go be with someone who wants kids-" timmy cut me off and put his hand over my mouth.

"we will not have children that you don't want because you feel bad. i told you, i'm okay. i am never leaving you. i wouldn't have married you if i wasn't okay with not being a dad." he assured me and leaned his forehead against mine. i leaned into his touch and sighed in relief.

"we can be the awesome aunt and uncle!" he exclaimed and i smiled, kissing him softly.

somehow, that didn't sound too bad.
