I named them Summer and Sunshine.

Let me see

[candysgirl]

[Cassie shows her the two tiny babies in the stroller. They’re both sleeping.]

They’re small...

[magnet_girl]

They're tiny!

[candysgirl]

I know... but they’re healthy. I got lucky.

[magnet_girl]

Are you going to keep them?

[candysgirl]

I don’t know what to do. I’m not even sure how to take care of them

[magnet_girl]

You need to find someone who knows how to look after babies.

[candysgirl]

Nannies. Will they grow up rude and mean if I do that? I know that I can use boarding schools too... I don’t. Trust people. What if they end up in a bad place? Or if they have my animal empathy?

[magnet_girl]

I don't mean Nannies. I mean someone who can show you what to do.

I wouldn't worry about the rest. For now. You've got a bit of time.

[borrowed_time]

Those are yours? [She points at the babies.]

[candysgirl]

...Yes. I tried to name them after my favorite things.

[borrowed_time]

They’re definitely happy names. They got middles?

[candysgirl]

Not anymore. They were Elena and Marie. My girlfriend is Elena... and she likes the name Marie.

[borrowed_time]

You got rid of them?

[candysgirl]

They’re just Summer and Sunshine now. They don’t need fancy names they’ll never use.

[borrowed_time]

That’s fair. I never use mine. So do y’all know who the dad is or was it like a donor thing?

[candysgirl]

[Cassie looks like she’s going to burst into tears for a moment]

They don’t need a father. I hate men.

[borrowed_time]

Whoa whoa whoa [Tenny panics a bit and attempts to hug the other girl.] It’s okay. I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to upset ya. You’re right. Summer and Sunshine are gonna be just fine ‘cause they got you lookin’ out for em. Don’t cry.
