... frequent discussions about starting a family over recent months had all led back to the same couple of issues: their time away, them not being able to commit to a family while they were establishing their careers. Sigrid sighed as she stood up, pulling up her underwear and pajama pants, she'd committed to making a change, why couldn't he? Her recent application to transfer from an operational flight attendant role to a management position, overseeing and coordinating a team of flight attendants, had been accepted. As soon as the next intake of flight attendants had finished their training course, she would be able to transfer out of her operational role and take up a desk position in the Air Nordland headquarters; she knew she'd still need to fly the occasion route to ensure she maintained her flight status, but being at the headquarters, not flitting around the world, would give her the stability she would need to start a family. If only Magnus would do the same, she mused as she slipped out the bedroom, leaving her husband snoozing in bed. She passed her graduation picture in the hallway on the way to the kitchen -- a 21-year-old version of herself, standing there in her gown and mortarboard, her face beaming as she held her law degree. Next to her, her parents stood smiling proudly. Her father, the judge, and her mother, the corporate lawyer, had been so proud of her that day.

She stiffened slightly, not all the tension from last night's "discussion" having left her body. Nonetheless, she knew that she needed to do her part to try and make this all work and she relaxed and gave him a little smile. "Hei Mags," ("Hey Mags,") she said as he moved toward the table. "Kaffe?" ("Coffee?") she asked grabbing another cup. "Takk, det ville vært flott" ("Thanks, that would be great,") he replied as he settled himself at the kitchen table. Sigrid poured the cup of black coffee for him and moved to the table, handing it to him. "Mags... om i går kveld..." ("Mags...about last night...") she said. He sighed, pushing the coffee away. "Sigi...vi må være realistiske..." ("Sigi...we need to be realistic...") "Jeg er realistisk," ("I am being realistic,") she replied, a touch of sadness, mixed with frustration, in her voice. "Jeg er forberedt på å ofre, endringer i karrieren min...bare slik at vi kan starte en familie." ("I'm prepared to make sacrifices, changes to my career...just so we can start a family.") "Se, du er i ferd med å gå bort på en to-ukers syklus," ("Look, you're about to go away on a two-week cycle,") ...
