The healing of my mother heart

As I spoke about my little one's June birthday celebrations, with joy in my voice and twinkle in my eyes, my colleague looked impressed. He first checked again if I have two daughters. And then, he said, 'good now you know, you can plan your third child to be born in June.' My smile suddenly widened but my eyes gave way to confusion, as I shook my head and asked, 'why would I plan a third child?' He still looked and smiled at me casually. So I played along, 'I have two, done and dusted, now they need all my time.' He said, 'true, I have two as well and we are done and dusted as well', he paused for a second before continuing as I prayed silently he wouldn't, ' and I have a girl and a boy, all what I wanted'.
