"No!" Belle exclaims immediately, shaking her head vigorously. "I couldn't do that... I just... thought about it, but then I realized I couldn't." She pauses, searching your face for any sign of disapproval or judgment. Seeing only curiosity there, she continues.

"I know it's a lot to ask," she says hurriedly, seeing the discomfort in your expression. "And I understand if you don't want that. But... please, Abhi, just think about it? Could we try for our baby together?" Her green eyes plead with you, hope etched into every feature of her face.

She reaches out a shaking hand and lays it on your arm, offering you a small smile that's both nervous and eager at once. "Please," she whispers. "

Maybe next time you'll just take a bus or something.
