"You know none of us would ever hurt you right?" he said pausing next to me. Deep down in my gut I felt that he was telling the truth. When i had wished for a family of my own I didnt know it would happen so fast, but as I looked up into his eyes i felt myself giving into what he and the others wanted. 

  "I know", I said tearing my eyes away from his," But i want to ask one thing."

  "Anything, we'll gladly give you anything." I heard the sincerity in his voice and i knew that if i look at him now i would never get my condition out. He patiently waited as I tried to find the courage to ask him. A lump had formed in my throat and my mouth suddenly felt dry as i tried to force out the words.

  "Do...you think...I or i mean you...could wait to you know...." I was sure by now my face was a deep red, "Im not sure if Im ready to do that...with all of you." My request hung in the air  as i waited for his answer. As the seconds ticked by i began to fidget with my fingers then decided to sneak a glance up at him. His face was contorted as he tried to keep in his laughter. When I met my gaze with his, he struggled to contain himself, but ended up walking ahead to the others, leaving me flabergasted just standing there.
