Kali literally deflates with relief. She's never wanted kids, not because she's sterile, but because she never had an urge to nurture and raise another human being. It was never anything she wanted in her life and she never felt less because of it. Just herself hasn't always been good enough for her for other reasons so being enough for Dylan makes her feel so much better in their relationship. She didn't realize that one question bugged her until it was out.
A slow smile brightens her expression and makes her eyes sparkle with contentment. Max had said something was different about her -- possibly that she was being civil for once and not a horrible person -- and Kali knows she owes a lot of that to Dylan for helping her be enough in her own skin.
She nods, words trapped behind the lump in her throat, speechless for once, and tucks her head against his chest again. This is more than enough. This is perfection.
