7: The Odd Proposition (1/1)

"Let's have our own baby!" Joy said out of nowhere. The two were relaxing at home watching some dog food commercial. "W-what? That's, that's a huge step, and and, I want to do it… someday. There is a lot we need to discuss since we are…" Wendy panicked at the sudden suggestion. Joy gave Wendy a quizzical look. "I meant a dog." Joy pointed to the commercial that was ending. "Oh… Haha.
