Zara felt Sad.

In the soft embrace of the afternoon, Maya sat cradling Bhagirath in her arms, their bond deepened by the act of breastfeeding. The room was bathed in a warm glow, and the air held an air of tranquility as Krishnapriya slept soundly in her crib nearby.

Zara entered the room with a gentle smile, her eyes filled with affection as she observed the scene before her. The connection between mother and son was palpable, a testament to the love that flowed freely within their home.

As Zara approached, her gaze met Maya's, and she lowered herself onto a nearby chair. "You two make quite the pair," she whispered, her voice a soft caress.

Maya's cheeks tinged with a rosy hue as she looked at Zara, a tender smile gracing her lips. "Bhagirath and I have our own little world when we're like this."

Zara's fingers brushed against Bhagirath's tuft of hair as he nursed, her touch filled with reverence. "It's a world built on love and connection. You're an amazing mother, Maya."

Maya's heart swelled with gratitude for Zara's unwavering support and love. "And you're an amazing partner," she replied, her voice filled with sincerity.

A comfortable silence enveloped them, the room steeped in the serenity that came from the presence of loved ones. As Bhagirath's rhythmic sucking filled the air, Zara took a deep breath, her eyes never leaving Maya's.

"Maya," Zara began softly, her voice carrying a mixture of earnestness and uncertainty. "I've been thinking... should I impregnate with you for our third child?"

Maya's eyes widened at the unexpected question, her heart skipping a beat. Her gaze shifted from Zara to Bhagirath, who continued to nurse in blissful ignorance. A kaleidoscope of emotions swirled within Maya—a combination of surprise, excitement, and a hint of shyness.

She cleared her throat, her voice gentle as she sought to address Zara's question. "Zara, that's... it's a big decision, isn't it? We have Bhagirath and Krishnapriya, and another child would be a significant commitment."

Zara nodded, her expression serious yet filled with warmth. "You're right, Maya. It's not a decision to be taken lightly. We already have a beautiful family, and I want us to be on the same page if we decide to expand it."

Maya's fingers gently traced circles on Bhagirath's back, her mind a whirlwind of thoughts. She looked at Zara, her eyes softening as she spoke. "Zara, I love our family. Bhagirath and Krishnapriya bring us so much joy, and the idea of another child... it's a beautiful thought."

Zara reached out to gently cup Maya's cheek, her touch tender and filled with understanding. "Maya, I want us to make this decision together. If you're comfortable with the idea, we can explore it further. And if not, that's okay too."

Maya leaned into Zara's touch, her heart warmed by Zara's words. "Zara, you know me so well. I've always dreamed of a big, loving family. But it's also a lot of responsibility."

Maya, then thought something and laughed slowly. Her laughter filled the air, a musical sound that brought a playful lightness to the room. She looked at Zara, her eyes dancing with amusement as she gently teased her wife. "Zara, dear, last time I checked, you're a woman. How can you impregnate me?"

Zara's smile faltered for a moment, her gaze meeting Maya's with a touch of sadness. Her eyes held a mixture of emotions as she pondered Maya's words, a moment of vulnerability washing over her.

Maya, sensing the change in the atmosphere, immediately realized the impact of her comment. Her laughter quieted, and she reached out to touch Zara's hand gently. "Zara, I didn't mean to hurt you. I know it's a sensitive topic."
