The End

They were lying on the couch when he brought the subject up again.

"When are we going to actually live together?"

She huffed and rolled her eyes. "We've talked about this, we don't need this. You can spend some nights here, bring some clothes, I can do the same in your place... we don't need to move in together."

"So marriage will be forever out of question?"

"Gendry, again, we've talked about this."

"No, you've talked about this. You don't want us to live together, you don't wanna move our relationship forward. We sleep in each other's houses and spend random weekends together and that's all?"

"You know me, Gendry. I don't want to marry!"

He got up. "What about what I want, Arya? It doesn't matter to you?

"And what do you want?"

"A wife, kids, a house with a big backyard and a dog. I want to stay up all night cleaning the house after the kids's birthday party. I want the dog to be big enough to run through the house destroying everything and my kids will love him for it and I will love him for making them happy!" He smiled. "I want a wife that'll wake me up in the middle of the night when she's pregnant because she wants icecream. And I'll cherish and love her everyday of our lives. And if the children have problems, I'll be there to help them."

"Why this is so important to you?"

"Because I want the family I never had. I don't want my kids to have to make their own food because their mother is out working in two or three jobs to bring home that food! I don't want to be remembered by the monthly child support check. I want to be a father, a real one. And if you don't want the same, I guess I'll have to find someone who wants."

He grabbed his jacket and walked out, banging the door closed.

Arya let herself sink on the couch, burying her face in her hands. That was it. That was the end.
