Meri watched her play with the kitten in her lap with a distant look. It was one thing to think how much had changed. It was another to hear her friend agree and expand on it. She'd never even thought about what it meant to have children. She'd barely thought about what it meant to get married. It all just felt like some life event she was supposed to get to eventually and she'd just been casually ignoring for the last several years.
The being responsible thing didn't worry her - she'd spent enough time carrying for her mother through her sickness in the last year to feel somewhat capable on that front. "And then raising them…" she mused to herself over the rim of her cup, looking both perplexed and slightly alarmed. How did one even go about turning a baby into a good person?
