I have no rational reasons for desiring children. Nevertheless, I feel at times that the irrational drive is overwhelming.
I was at an airport the other day when I saw a father showing his 3 or 4 year old daughter the airplanes outside the window, and answering her questions about them. At that moment, I felt an indescribable desire for a child of my own. If I could compare it to something, it would be infatuation -- a strong push towards something that makes no sense logically but "feels" right and incredibly important.
