Theo could not imagine waiting that long for children. To have them nearly at his age? No, it was far too late, and what if, when the time came your wife could not bare you children? "You might want to consider moving a bit quicker than forty," he said. "Having children is taxing, and it's easier when you're younger. At least for the woman, if you insist on a wife of roughly your own age."
He debated insisting when Stephen went on, but then nodded. "Fine, but if it becomes something more, of if you decide not to end it, I want to meet him," he said. "I prefer knowing those you consider important."
He still didn't understand it, he could not understand how anyone could want to have sex with a man. Why would you when there were women in the world, and he also feared for the survival of the family. He'd rather not have to consider taking precautions then way Draco and Astoria had. He and Pansy were done with children, and he hoped Stephen meant it when he said there would be an heir.
He still needed to convince him that his late thirties was a too long wait.
