Never!
"Of course, no." That was her answer. "You are not going to be a big brother."
Over her dead body!
"Why not?" Her son seemed excited about the idea but confused at her reaction.
"Because..." Suddenly, she had no clue how to answer her son.
How could she tell him that although she did not regret having him, she was not about to make the same mistake again?
"Because... it is time for you to go to sleep." She tucked her son tight, kissed him on the forehead, and told him to close his eyes. Hopefully, this time, he would succumb to tiredness.
Still, her son's words lingered in her mind when she left him in his room.
No!
She kept repeating inside her head. She was not about to get pregnant in this marriage. She even had no plans to sleep with him despite recalling his offer.
So, she was not about to make her son a big brother to a daughter or another son. No! That was not happening again.
"I have no plans of..." She could not even finish the sentence.
