Everything Steve says makes perfect sense. She's so proud of him, too, proud enough that her chest aches with it, because of course he has to work with kids, it's the one thing she can imagine him doing and being happy about it, which is everything. It's the most important thing. He knows this and she thinks he's always known it, and it's taken time to come to it himself, but he has.

This is what she wants for him. To be happy with what he chooses. And if she's going to claim that's what she wants, then she realizes she has to be honest with him. If she wants him to be happy with his choices, she has to give him all the information he needs in order to make the choice that makes him happy.

"You'll make a great dad," she says honestly. "But... I'd make a shit mum, Steve. I don't want to be someone's parent."
