"Nate, no that's not what I meant. Of course I want a baby, it's just not probably a smart decision so i'm telling myself I don't want it. Just tricking myself so i'm not upset about it." She explained quickly

"Nate, handsome, please stop being like this. I-" She said, but soon realized she was unable to really explain it. She sighed and stood, walking back outside to the barn

Dakota walked into the tackroom and sat on a hay bale before pulling her knees up against her chest and wrapping her arms around them. She felt a tear roll down her cheek, then another, and another

Dakota was unable to stop the tears that rolled down her face, at a loss for any thoughts or words

Dakota forced the tears to stop, taking a few breaths. She hated making him feel like this, but she didn't want to do something so bad he'd regret it. She wiped her eyes before walking back to the house. She saw Nate and rushed over to him. She grabbed his face gently between her hands. "No, stop crying." She pleaded quietly, a tear of her won rolling down her face. "Stop." She breathed, wiping his tears away
