Christine Baumgartner loved Kevin but wanted to have a child and Kevin wasn&#39;t having any of it. </p><p>He was afraid!! </p><p><i><span class="black2pt" id="intelliTxt">&quot;For years, fear kept me from marrying Christine. Christine wanted a child, but I was afraid I couldn&#39;t be an effective father.<br /> &quot;She said, &#39;I&#39;m about children. If you want to be with me, if you want to get married, you should know that&#39;s part of my make-up.&#39;<br /> &quot;I woke up and thought, &#39;Am I going to lose a beautiful woman who is willing to be with me to my very last breath because I am afraid to say yes to a child?&#39;<br /> &quot;That&#39;s all it took. I decided I was not going to miss out on love.&quot;</span></i></p><p>Good thing he came to his senses, if he didn&#39;t, he would have missed out on this.</p><p><a href="http://www.babble.com/CS/blogs/famecrawler/2008/07/16-22/kevin-costner-christine-baumgartner.jpg"><img src="http://www.babble.com/CS/blogs/famecrawler/2008/07/16-22/kevin-costner-christine-baumgartner.jpg" border="0" height="351" width="238" alt="" /></a></p><p>&nbsp;You can tell she totally adores him and he looks happy!
