2 in 2

Two baby showers in two days. One of which I hosted. Both went off pretty well. Mom-to-be is happy and received lots of precious little things. I was only asked twice if I have any kids. My heart dropped and my stomach churned when I replied a simple "no". I didn't cry and I didn't explain. It wasn't my day and I don't want any pity. It still hurt though. I didn't even cry on the way home. Maybe because my mom talked to me on the phone almost my whole drive home. Somehow, sometimes, she instinctly knows what I need. I hope I get to have that instinct one day.
