Just that. Can be accidental pregnancy. Can be that your partner wanted to have kids, but it has to be why YOU made the decision.

I was never really a fan of kids. But as I grew older I found it harder and harder to visualise a family of just my wife and I. At around this time, I noticed myself making faces to babies in strollers and always getting laughs and smiles. Eventually the idea of raising kids became a topic of interest. I also saw a lot of other shitty parents and realised I most likely would be a half-decent parent. Our first child is a crazy curious kid who is super friendly and way more outgoing than my wife and I. Our second, even though he was unplanned is turning out to be quite a cool kid. But we'll see.

What do you mean you found it harder to visualize a family of just the two of you?
