I love this episode. Wonderful Sam x Al interactions, a great story—and who can resist a little canon mpreg? 8D

I've wanted to genderswap this scene—strike that, this entire episode—from the start. Of course, it ends up being super sad because my mind canon for female Sam is that she lost the baby she conceived with Al. Denial was something I couldn’t cut out for this scene, so I had to add another layer to it with her not being able to carry a baby to term to begin with. :c

I have one other scene I want to work with, and maybe if I play my cards right, I can pick something a little happier. (I'm sorely tempted to do the scene where Sam is in labor with Billie Jean's baby. It's times like this that I wish Al wasn't a hologram on Sam's leaps because holy Jesus, the visual of Sam grabbing Al's shirtsleeve and practically begging, "Get it out, Al! Get it out!" is too powerful for me to resist.)
