Nate shook his head before he really thought about it, just an instinctive reaction. "I can't think it'd be that simple. She's your friend. She's going to be involved in your life, so she'd still be there, somehow. That's not a tie you just let go of, having a baby. And I-- I don't know her well enough to have a baby with her, even if she does give it up to us. And you--" he stopped there, and shook his head again.
"I want kids, caro. And I know you do, too. But I want to really know what I'm getting into before we do it. And I'm just not that comfortable with her." He looked down, knowing he was disappointing Luag, and half afraid he'd want to just do it anyway, since he was close to her, and she was offering. "I'm sorry."
