Calvin felt like a whirlwind of thoughts erupted in his mind, the kind he couldn't suppress even if he tried. His nervousness made him swallow hard, his Adam's apple bobbing visibly.

"You mean you're childfree by choice?" Felicity cut him off before he could finish.

Caught off guard by her accurate guess, Calvin couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed.

"Uh... yeah, I really don't like kids. Whenever we have family or friends over, and they bring their little ones, it drives me crazy! The idea of not having kids ever? That's music to my ears!" Seeing Felicity's silent response, Calvin thought he might have a chance and quickly added, "For real! I can show you my text conversations with my folks. I've told them countless times I don't want kids!" "Calvin." "Here!"

It's normal for him to dislike the noise and chaos of children at his age! Felicity herself wasn't too fond of the idea before.

But... once you're faced with the reality of being unable to conceive, that's a whole different story from simply not wanting them.
