Downfall/For the sake of peace and quiet

From Create Your Own Story

You let out a deep sigh. You really need to sleep, and although she hardly can produce enough breast milk to make a difference, you are not going to waste another two hours for this debate. "Let's get this over with," you say. You can see Cate bites down from making a what you expect to have been a self-congratulatory remark, and rightly so. You won't take any more crap about this.

You crawl over to Cate, who lifts her shirt. You kneel next to her, but just when you lower your head towards her chest, the blockage breaks up, and a gust of liquid sprays on your face. Parts of the liquid hit your eye. "Oh, for fuck's sake!" you shout, wiping your face. "I've have enough. We're done."

"Jules," Cate says, but you interrupt her.

"Enough. The blockage is gone, so I won't hear any more about this. Good night!"

You turn and lie down. Cate mumbles something you deliberately ignore. Why did you agree to this stupid idea in the first place? You fume silently until you finally fall asleep.
