Which excerpt from The Awakening best shows that Edna may have rejected marriage but not motherhood?

She lived with them a whole week long, giving them all of herself, and gathering and filling herself with their young existence.

They listened, breathless, when she told them the house in Esplanade Street was crowded with workmen, hammering, nailing, sawing, and filling the place with clatter.

After a little while, a few days, in fact, Edna went up and spent a week with her children in Iberville. They were delicious February days, with all the summer's promise hovering in the air.

All along the journey homeward their presence lingered with her like the memory of a delicious song. But by the time she had regained the city the song no longer echoed in her soul.

    A. She lived with them a whole week long, giving them all of herself, and gathering and filling herself with their young existence.

    This shows that even if Edna had given up on a marriage, she was still heavily invested in her children.
