“Well, yeah; I’ve definitely thought about having a child of my own.” I replied casually.
“Really, I honestly wouldn’t see you as the type for settling down any time soon.” Stephanie curiously inquired.
“Sometimes people can seem a certain way, but in reality are completely different.” I said.
“That’s true.” She replied, taking a forkful of pasta to her mouth. After formally wiping herself off of any sauce, she added:
“So what about you Marshall; When do you plan on settling down?” with a cute smirk.
I chuckled nervously.
“To be honest, I’ve been visiting a little girl that has been living in a local orphanage for a couple of weeks now. Once all the adoption information checks out, I’ll be bringing her to live with me.” I said, smiling back.
“Oh my god, that is absolutely adorable! Marshall, I HAVE to meet her!” Stephanie exclaimed.
“With that attitude you might end up only scaring her away.” I joked.
