|Kourtney's POV

I had been thinking about it for a while now. More kids. A bigger family. There was something so fulfilling about being surrounded by children, watching them grow, seeing their personalities form and evolve. As much as I loved my life with Dwayne, and our beautiful children, I couldn't help but feel a little tug in my heart when I thought about the future. I wanted more. I wanted Reign to have a playmate, a little brother or sister to grow up with. I wanted a busy, noisy house again. A place filled with laughter, chaos, and love.

But before I could bring it up to Dwayne—who was, of course, incredibly busy with his career, not to mention juggling our existing brood of four kids—I needed to talk to someone. And who better to turn to than Kim? She was the only one among us with more than one child. Not only that, but she had gone through the whole journey of deciding when the right time to have another baby was, while still managing everything else in her life.

So, I decided to head over to her house. Kim always had a way of making difficult decisions seem less daunting. Maybe her experience could help guide me in the right direction. And Khloe happened to be there too, so I figured I could talk to both of them. The more the merrier, right?

I stepped into the kitchen, the familiar scent of fresh coffee and something baking in the oven immediately making me feel at home.

"Hello," I called out as I walked in.

"Hey, Kourt," Khloe greeted me, standing by the counter with a mug in hand.

I dropped my keys and phone onto the counter, already feeling the weight of the conversation I was about to have. "What are you guys talking about?"

Kim was sitting at the table, a little smile on her face. "I was just telling Khloe about that dress we saw in New York."

"Oh yeah, that dress looked great on you," I said, giving Kim a nod of approval. She had that perfect, effortless style that always made me envious.

"So, what brings you by?" Khloe asked, raising an eyebrow.

"And didn't you move to Miami?" she teased, her voice full of playful sarcasm.

I rolled my eyes, laughing. "Touche," I replied. "But I actually came here for a reason, and since you're both here, I might as well just talk about it now."

Kim leaned back in her chair, looking curious. "What's up?"

I could feel my nerves building as I prepared to speak. This wasn't exactly an easy topic to bring up, even with the people I trusted the most. "I've been thinking a lot about having more kids," I said, my voice tentative but firm. "But I'm not sure whether I should freeze my eggs for the future or talk to Dwayne about trying for another baby now."

Khloe looked up, her face suddenly more serious. "Wow, Kourt," she said, clearly surprised but also intrigued.

I nodded, biting my lip slightly. "Yup. It's something I've been thinking about for a while. You guys know how much I've always wanted a big family. And now that Simone is in high school, Mason is in elementary, and Penelope is in preschool, Reign is kind of the only one at home all the time. I don't want him to be the only one without someone to play with. I want my house to be filled with kids again, just like it used to be. But I don't know if I should be patient and freeze my eggs for later, or just take the plunge and talk to Dwayne about expanding our family now."

Kim's eyes widened. "Are you serious, Kourt?"

"Yeah," I said quietly. "I mean, I know it's a huge decision, but I really feel like I'm ready. I don't want to wait too long and regret it later."
