    Summary

    “Don’t forget the fortune cookies,” she says unnecessarily.

    Bea is already carrying them over, having freed them from their plastic prisons. She hides them in her hand and moves her hands behind her back. Ava sees the muscles of her biceps flex as she moves them from hand to hand, mixing them up.

    Ava pokes her tongue out of her mouth and squints. After a second, she points to the right hand. Bea hands her the fortune cookie she’s holding and sits back down, cradling her own fortune cookie.

    Ava doesn’t wait for any kind of ceremony. She breaks her fortune cookie in half and pulls the fortune out, putting it facedown. She eats one half of the cookie first, for luck. Her mom always did it and Ava doesn’t remember a lot, but she remembers that most of mom’s fortunes came true, so it must have worked.

    Summary

    Adora was still amazed that something as monumental as a living being could be created unintentionally. That a whole person could be added to the universe. By accident.

    Wack.

    Catra was showing now, it was wonderful. Adora wasn’t going to admit it, Catra was still touchy about the word and Adora didn’t want to risk being banished to sleep in Melog’s bed, but her wife’s baby bump was singularly the cutest thing in the world.

    She still couldn’t quite wrap her mind around the fact there was a baby in there. Content to be safe and snug, surrounded in warm water and growing every day as though it wasn’t some other-worldly, miraculous thing. (Neither of them had grown up around pregnancies, Adora might have been being a doof about it.)

    Summary

    They stay that way for a long time, Catra’s face tucked into Adora’s shoulder, Adora gently cradling Catra’s head. Adora is careful not to hug Catra too hard or make her feel restrained, anticipating the moment that Catra will start to pull away — but Catra doesn’t. She hangs on so tightly it hurts, her claws digging through Adora’s jacket and into her back, latching into her like she did when she was a kitten and didn’t know how much her claws could hurt. Adora tries not to wince, tries not to move a single muscle, worried that if she does the spell will break and Catra will struggle away, appalled at having shown weakness.

    But Catra doesn’t let go. And so neither does Adora.
