A: I’ve got something important to tell you: I’m pregnant.

B: What? You’re pregnant? Wow, I’d love to have a baby.

A: Well, I understand you want to be a father. It’s been more than three years, almost four, since we were married.

B: Yes, time has passed so quickly, but we still didn’t have a baby.

A: I know, but we can’t afford to have one now. If I leave my job for more than two weeks, I’ll lose it forever.

B: I know you will. But remember, if we don’t have one now, it’ll be too late. We’ll be busier in future.

A: There is something in what you said. Four years is a long time to wait. But I really like my job. What’s more, I’m very close to getting promotion.

B: But a baby borne by a woman in her 30s may be physically and intellectually less healthy. If we wanted to hold onto your job, we would wait forever. Soon we’ll be too old to enjoy a baby.

A: You really have a point. I’ll choose the baby over the job.

B: Good, I’ll try harder to make both ends meet
