Will stared off into space for a second as he gathered his thoughts as they floated around. "So I just, want to be up front," He blurted out, something his family always had a bad habit of doing. "I like you, and I don't mind if this goes somewhere, or just stays a booty call." He chuckled lightly as he forced himself to continue. "But, I have to tell you. I had a vasectomy years ago," he swallowed the sudden lump in his throat as the knowledge left his lips.

Aleah froze, feeling like ice cold water had just been dumped on her, whatever warm and happy feeling she had completely gone from his honesty. She appreciated his honesty but...considering everything that she wanted in life she felt like she was kicked in the stomach, that once again fate was laughing as it slammed door after door into her face every time she attempted to find some sort of happiness. "Oh," she was all she could say. She knew it was too soon to know if she and will could have anything sustainable but...what was the point in sleeping with Will and chancing getting closer to him only to end up heart broken. "I guess I should be honest then too because...when I look at my life...I know I want at least one baby." Though she knew vasectomies could be reversed she could never bring herself to ask someone to do that, whether it be Will or someone else.

Will nodded his head when she admitted she wanted at least one baby, which he understood. "I'm sorry. I should have said something sooner," Though in all honesty he hadn't been thinking before for sure, seeing her naked hadn't helped, and her hands on him earlier that morning definitely had made it tough to think. "I like you Aleah," He admitted, knowing if they had time and she didn't want motherhood, he could see himself pursuing something with her, but he wasn't going to lie to her to get it. "But I've been told.. Reversing may not… Work." He wasn't sure if it was because the vasectomy was done years ago, or because it was a botched job that wasn't reversable, but his doctor said there wasn't a point in doing so.

Aleah shook her head, "you didn't have to, we were just having fun." She said, still feeling like the world was mocking her for her misfortune. She took another sip from her coffee, daring to look up at Will, still feeling a little bit of thrum in her chest, "I like you too, Will." She told him, her cheeks turning a little red, if it wasn't for this she could see herself wanting to pursue more but...She held back a sigh as she listened to him. "I wouldn't force you to do anything you didn't want." She said softly, "I just don't see myself not having kids."

Will felt his heart sink a little, knowing she was right, but hearing it sounded worse for some reason. He nodded his head again, knowing he wouldn't force her to do anything either, which probably meant they probably wouldn't fool around again. "It's alright, I get it. I'm also old. Who wants an old dad." He chuckled softly, sipping at his coffee, knowing Jessie didn't consider him old, but he was getting up there in years.

Aleah kept her eyes on her coffee, watching the way the different colors from the creamer swirled in front of her but her gaze snapped up to him when he called himself old. She shook her head as her eyes rolled, "Will," she said softly, "you aren't that old, besides, you're a great guy," she told him before finally taking another sip from her coffee but even with the added sweetness she still had a bitter taste in her mouth. "Anyone would be lucky to have you, as a dad or a partner."

Will chuckled, he knew she wasn't wrong, but he had hoped to take the blame, if there was any, of why they couldn't pursue anything. "Ah, that's a little sickening, but I appreciate it," He paused for a moment, staring into his mug as he thought about the right words to say. "Any man, including me, is insane not to date you." He smiled softly, wondering if he could help her find that perfect man she deserved. "I'll be your wingman if that helps?" he teased, chuckling lightly, hoping she wouldn't take him seriously.

Aleah felt her face turn red when he said any man would be insane not to date her, giving her head a slight shake. "Then I guess the world is full of insane men." She shrugged a little and set her coffee to the side, no longer interested in drinking it or in anything else but a small smile pulled at her lips at his offer. "I'm not a dating expert, obviously, but I don't think having a very good one night stand will help me out much." She said as she pushed away from the counter, looking for her purse and pulling it onto her shoulder. "But thanks...I had a good night."

Will chuckled, shaking his head, he wondered if she would feel weird now that they slept together, and still worked together. He didn't want to ask, but maybe later she'd be okay with being friends. "I had a great night." He said, putting his coffee down. "I can make you something? Unless you just want to head home. Which I understand." He wasn't going to force her to stay, but he felt obligated to offer.

Aleah shook her head, "it's alright, I should head home and take care of Rooney, he's probably hungry." She said, trying to distract herself with thoughts of her dog instead of everything they had done and any form of meaning it did or could have had. She checked to make sure she had her phone and keys before walking over to Will, leaning up and gently kissing his cheek, "it was almost perfect." She said softly before pulling away, "I'll see you around Will." She said before turning and leaving his apartment, her jaw clenched a little as she walked.

Will had heard she had a dog, and didn't want her to leave him alone much longer since he'd been at home since yesterday morning, that he knew of. He stiffened only slightly when she kissed his cheek, feeling terrible all over again, but he forced himself to smile and walked her towards the door, "See you." He said, watching her slip into her car and head out of his apartment parking. He turned back to his place, finding it too empty all of the sudden, and decided to just go back to bed.
