Children loves to play with me

Through years of failed attempts to have my own kids, I yearned for children of my own, well, used to.
I would travel for hours just to baby-sit my nephews while Helen, my sister, goes for their fortnightly romantic dinners to "keep the flames of passion going", in her words.
Playgrounds and parks were my favourite hunts. Toddlers old enough to walk would sometimes totter their way to the bench I'm sitting on just to smile at me. Young children ... would come up to me and play 'pretend' with me. It's quite a strange phenomenon, but without my trying to, children takes a liking to me. Of course, I'd gotten strange looks from parents, as though I dangled a carrot in front of their children's noses to lure them to me.
I met my BF, Luke, (now husband) some years ago. In the beginning stages of courtship, he would just look at me and smile, and I just thought he was just smitten with me. He's gotten me smitten quickly enough too, with his honeyed tongue. He always seem to know the right things to say. He'd still continue to look at me, and then just smile.
It was only some months into our relationship that I found out he could see spirits. His childhood was shaky when he first realised no one else saw the paler beings. He had since gotten used to them as they would either wander aimlessly or just stay rooted to a spot. Apart from seemingly looking at him, they don't try to communicate with him.
One day, a few months after finding out about his ability, he told me he has something to tell me. For one, he isn't the secretive or romantic type so I guessed it wasn't to propose. He held my hands and looked at me straight in the eye, and said, "Umm... How should I put this..." After a few false starts, impatient me started losing my cool and he finally got it out, in the crudest way he could put it,
"You have three little ones following you since the day I met you and that's the reason why I looked your way and smiled at you. I've been wondering, but why are they following you?"
He went on, with a matter-of-factly tone, to explain that the children at the playground were not approaching me, but the little ones following and sometimes playing around me, and that the little ones aren't like the usual spirits he have seen but are much smaller (thus the name "little ones"). Whenever he just looked and then smiled at me, the little ones were playing with each other and dancing around me. He had never seen other beings interact with one another before. Despite it being a hot day, the chills and the cold in my chest made the weather more bearable. maternity items to wear for the maid of the brides
Before this, I had a failed relationship with a man who loves children as much as I did, but just upped and left, the day after I was discharged from the hospital for my third miscarriage.
