”When we got engaged, he asked me to consider taking a break from looking for work. So we could maybe try to have a kid. At the time, I was so excited to be engaged and-”
”At the time?” Alex interjected.
”I mean, I’m still excited to be engaged.” Piper said, somewhat unconvincingly.
”I love him. Very much.” She sighed. ”He’s a Jewish lawyer. He wants a wife to give him children and allow him to be the breadwinner. His parents want grandkids. My parents want grandkids.”
”Do you want kids?” Alex asked, looking Piper deep in the eyes.
”Yes…no…maybe.” Piper made a face. ”I’m twenty-five. I wanna drink margaritas and go to the beach. I want to travel. I want to see and do things.”
”So that’s a no.” Alex smiled.
”He never said anything about kids our whole relationship.” She sighed. ”But he pops out a two carat ring on our vacation to Hawaii and I say yes and then all of sudden we’re planning what suburb we’ll move to after the wedding and good names for boys and the best schools in New York.” Piper set her head in her hands. ”Now, it’s all his parents ever ask me about. It’s all anyone ever asks me about.”
Alex reached across the desk and set her hand on Piper’s shoulder.
”You don’t have to do any of that. Trust me.” She reassured her. ”Don’t have kids when you don’t want them. That’s what Nicky’s mom did and now look at her.”
”What?” Piper raised her head.
”I’m just kidding. She’s my best friend, I can say that.” Alex laughed. ”But no, seriously. Don’t let everyone around you push you into what society thinks you should be doing. If there’s anything this job has shown me, it’s that death will find you. Whether it’s in ten years or within the next thirty minutes. Trust me when I say, do whatever the fuck you want in this life. Cause once you’re laying in that casket with your corpse pumped full of embalming fluid it’ll be way too late to go back and do all the things you always wanted to do.”
Piper found herself lost in the sincerity of Alex’s eyes. Her hand was still resting on Piper’s shoulder as she spoke. A moment in time passed where the two didn’t say a word to each other, only held eye contact.
