Summary
Madeline squeezes her breasts and winces. She’s sitting in the ridiculously small toilet of her dressing-room in the Palace Theater with the atrocious notion that she might not be able to fit her growing chest in her costumes much longer. She sticks her thumbnail between her teeth and closes her eyes. The rest of her is fine, more than fine actually. Her skin is softer, her hair seems lit from within and she isn’t putting on weight. Only her breasts have begun to inflate. They are sore too. This is the main problem.
It is, Madeline tells herself firmly, the only problem.
OR
Madeline might be pregnant, her only (apparent) hope is Helen. Everything goes wrong. -

Summary
Helen sits on the closest bench to their graves. Madeline goes on and on about how they are meant to sneak into a retrospective of her work later that week. The redhead listens idly, if she does at all. She adjusts the wide rimmed hat she sports every week for that exact event. The only sanctioned outing by the highest instances.
Madeline’s voice drifts in and out of her hearing scope, just as the wind would through old trees.
OR
50 years after the ending, Helen loses her train of thoughts and Madeline brings her back on the path.

"Is everything okay?"
"It's about dad." Oh, no. There it was the punishment for last night.
"Is he okay? I can go to the hospital—"
"Gosh, I wish. No, Helen, dad's… Dad's engaged."
"What?" She tried not to scream but she felt fury taking over her. Her mind raced with the women that had been close to her father in recent memory

Summary
“How do you feel about kids?”
The question, understandably, catches Helen off guard. Her hand stills from where she had been trailing absentminded patterns up and down Madeline’s bare arm. She cracks an eye open to look down at the woman curled against her chest, only to be met with a stare way too intense for a lazy Sunday morning. Helen lets out a measured breath.
“Conceptually or in actuality?”
