It makes Maeve's chest hurt, hearing him talk like this. Not because he's doing anything wrong, far from it, he's honestly and openly expressing his feelings, and Maeve is really proud of him for that. But it still hurts. She doesn't want to be the reason he doesn't get to live this dream.

"I really don't want kids, Steve," she says in as gentle a voice as possible. Another guy, she probably wouldn't care, she'd blow him off with a few cruel words, annoyed he tried to change her mind, but it's not that way with Steve. He isn't trying to change anything, he's just being honest.

She puts her hand on top of his on her knee, rubbing her thumb over his skin. "I love you and I suppose I shouldn't say never, but I just don't see myself changing my mind on that. And if that's something you really want, you should know that."
