One Year Later
"O kay, so… We're not going to be disappointed if it's negative, and we're not going to read anything into it if it's positive but we find out later that we're only having one or if it's a boy or boy twins or–"
"We're not going to be disappointed at all," Violet interrupted her wife. "My love, if it's negative, we'll try again. And if it's positive, we will be over the moon. Simple, right?"
"Yes, simple," Rachel said. "I'm just nervous. I mean, we only had two girls."
"Hey, we said we wouldn't do this. We said we'd take the steps we wanted to take."
"I know."
"Babe, the most important thing is that we're together in that future, not that we do everything we have to do to get there. We're here already. We're married. And we're going to have kids."
"I know." Rachel sighed a little. "But when you told me that we had twin girls, I just felt it in my soul, Violet. It was like, yes, that's what I want. What happens if we don't end up having them? Do they disappear? Did they even exist?"
Violet rubbed Rachel's back and said, "I only saw them in the vision, but that doesn't mean we didn't have more kids. They talked about their kids being at the house, but that doesn't mean we don't have another kid or kids out there somewhere whom they didn't mention in the few seconds I overheard them talking. Two girls sounds perfect to me, but if we have one first before twins or one after, I don't care. I want healthy children with my beautiful wife. That's all."
Rachel nodded as the timer on her phone went off. She pressed the button to stop it and licked her lips nervously. Then, she removed the tissue that they'd placed over the test so it would be a reveal when the time was up.
"Pregnant," Violet said as she picked up the stick. Wide eyes met hers then, and Violet smiled. "Babe, you're pregnant."
"I'm pregnant," Rachel repeated and covered her mouth with both hands.
