Queen's Chambers

She resisted the urge to laugh when Abi admitted that she didn't understand what she was saying. "Dear. When a woman lays with a man for the first time; there's a barrier that the man has to break. It's quite a painful process; the larger the man is, the more painful it is. And there's blood involved," she admitted, trying to be as gentle but informative as possible about the subject. When she asked about performance anxiety she couldn't help but toss her head back and give a laugh. "I think men are liable to lie about anything they want to," she said with a shake of her head. "Especially when it comes to something like sex. From what I understand they lie about things pertaining to that more than anything else," she said with a lift of her shoulders in a shrug. "I'm not really sure how we go about finding someone who doesn't have performance anxiety, to be honest," she said with a frown. "I guess we would have to kind of just wait and see. Unfortunately that means that the only way to find out for sure is to start the process. If he can't get it up or keep it up it's likely that he either has performance anxiety or some sort of health issue," she said with a shrug.

She laughed softly at her comment about it not being more painful than labor. "No, I don't suppose it would be, but then I hate to see you in pain," she admitted with a frown. When she asked the questions of her she canted her head to the side. "Whenever you would like to start. Though, I don't really have anyone in mind," she admitted a bit sheepishly. "I hadn't really considered a donor," she said and found herself actually thinking on it for a while. "Well, there is someone that we could ask," she said after a moment or two of thought. "I'm not sure how you would feel about asking him, but Quinlan O'Hare tends to be an extremely helpful young man," she said a bit awkwardly. The idea of asking anyone for this just made her feel awkward, but she would do anything for her wife. "He's a strong, well built young man, and should be relatively potent," she said, feeling for all the world like she was talking about a stud horse instead of an actual person. "And he seems to have a good, level head on his shoulders," she said with a giggle. "Oh gods. I feel like I'm talking about a breeding horse instead of a person," she admitted with a shake of her head. "Though, I suppose for all intents and purposes this isn't much different than that."

She'd frowned at Abi's response about not seeing her in pain. "Well of course, but the fact is that I would still know," she said with a sigh. If Abi had made up her mind about wanting to be the one to get pregnant, she knew that she would give in to the other woman's wishes eventually. But that didn't stop the thought from bothering her. She shook her head to try to push those thoughts to the back of her mind as she came up with the first person that she could think of.
When Abi burst into laughter she starred at her for a moment before her lips split in a grin and she joined the other woman's laughter with her own. When the laughter died and Abi said that Quin wasn't a bad idea she smiled and lifted her shoulders in a shrug. "We could think of someone else, if you're uncomfortable with him. I admit that it might be awkward for him to be the sperm donor since we work so closely with him," she said. "And I'm not sure that he wouldn't be the type to want something to do with the child, so it might be a better idea to find someone else to do the sperm donor thing if you're thinking about not wanting the man to have much to do with the child."

She smiled as her wife debated Quinlan out loud. It was rather entertaining to listen to what Abi had to say about the man, and she had to agree that Quin probably would have ended up as the child's father figure. She was definitely amused by the comments that Abi made about Quin's sanity and lack of weird diseases. "We can at least ask," she said with a shrug and an assuring tone to her wife. She absolutely adored Abaigael and would do whatever she could to keep the other woman happy. Even if it meant allowing her wife to be the one to carry their child. Not that she didn't want Abi to be able to experience that; she was just terrified of something happening to her wife. "Well, dear," she said and tried to calm the butterflies in her stomach as she spoke. "If you're set on being the one to carry the child, then I won't hold it against you. I've wanted to be a mother for many years now, so I'm not going to argue over who gets to carry the baby," she said softly. "But. If you're not up for it, I would be happy to be the one to take on the responsibility," she said, trying to hide the fact that the idea of being pregnant was actually one that excited her. While she knew pregnancy wasn't exactly easy on the woman; for some reason she'd always wanted to experience it herself.

She smiled and wrapped her arms around Abaigael, returning the kiss that the other woman gave her. "True. We can always have more children in the future," she said, nodding. Though when Abi said that she should do it if she wanted to she bit her lip. "Only if you promise not to be mad at me for it," she said sweetly. She'd never wanted children with her deceased husband because, well, for obvious reasons, really. But she'd wanted children in general for as long as she could remember. She tightened her arms around Abi and pressed a kiss to the woman's forehead. "I love you," she said with a smile. "So shall we give him less of a chance of saying no by both of us asking him, or do you think we should put less pressure behind it and have one of us casually mention it in conversation?" she asked, her tone obviously joking. She honestly had no idea how they were supposed to go about broaching this particular subject with the man. He was usually really good about doing things they asked of him, but being a "sperm donor?" What would his reaction to that be? Oh to be a fly on the wall for that conversation.
