English term or phrase: put the kid in a drawer

Monologo teatrale. Un uomo ha appena saputo che la sua partner aspetta un bambino.

If I turned to her and said, "Okay, let's do it, we'll put the kid in a drawer, I’ll marry you and we'll be joined in bliss for the rest of our lives…”

La mia proposta parziale:

Se mi girassi verso di lei e le dicessi “Okay, facciamolo, mettiamo ..., ti sposo e saremo una coppia felice per il resto della nostra vita…”

Cerco soluzioni per "put the kid in a drawer". Grazie!

Italian translation:mettiamo il bambino a dormire in un cassetto

Explanation:
un tempo si usava mettere un neonato in un cassetto aperto a dormire quando mancava una culla appropriata...era un posto sicuro è raccolto per la sua nanna.
Il senso può essere -anche se non siamo sicuri di poterlo mantenere o non siamo preparati del tutto, facciamo il bambino-

Reference information:
se ha senso per il resto del contesto che tu conosci meglio.. potrebbe essere: metteremo da parte, ci dimenticheremo del bambino ??
Non so, potrebbe essere?
