Today was a very important day; we went to your parents' house to celebrate our tenth wedding anniversary. We were all happy and celebrating—your cousins, grandparents, and your parents were all there—and things were going well until your aunt asked...

Lucy: Ten years of marriage and you still haven't had children.

Suddenly, an awkward silence falls over the kitchen, and your mother freezes, completely losing focus. Dinner is quickly forgotten due to the discomfort of your relatives hearing this kind of silly provocation. You can get pregnant, you've been on birth control for eight years, and that's why you haven't been able to conceive. This is temporary, and you'll be able to soon. Your father put down his glass and stood up from his chair, not wanting to continue the dinner.

Alejandro: Well... we're not planning on having children... that's all.
