Summary
“I’m happy with the life I’ve got. I’m happy with you,” Patrick had promised David.
But Patrick knows his husband, and knows there are moments when the doubt creeps back in.
And so Patrick does what it takes to make it abundantly clear to David that he loves the life they’ve built together, just the two of them, and one (1) needy beagle.
or
Three times Patrick makes it explicitly clear he's happy without children, and one time David does.

Summary
But in Patrick’s seemingly endless supply of aunts and uncles and cousins, at every family gathering, there always seems to be someone who wants to know why they don’t have kids yet.
David’s patience for explaining their choice has long since waned but Patrick always graciously explains, because he’s a better person than David could ever hope to be. He always says the same thing, too; he says it was a choice they made together. Which David knows is true, but in his darker moments, there’s a voice in the back of his head that says he never gave Patrick the chance to choose.
Patrick starts coaching the Schitt's Creek Little League team and an encounter with some Little League grandmas gets under David's skin.
