Summary
"It had never been a question of wanting children for either of them; they were aligned on that. In the dreams of their future, there they were, perhaps with dark eyes like their mother or freckles like their father, almost certainly having the soft curls passed down from both sides.
They didn’t talk about it a lot, and when they did it was a distant thing, both practical and fantastical: silly conversations, like how they agreed that Mohan-Abbot sounded better than Abbot-Mohan, or which of their coworkers they'd hypothetically allow to babysit, but also serious considerations, like deciding to talk to their accountant about opening a 529 account, or how they wanted their kids to have siblings so they'd never be lonely."
a.k.a. Dr. Samira Mohan's period is late.

Summary
Their sheets were white.
Samira had insisted on them when she moved in, claiming they ‘felt cooler’ on her skin than colorful or patterned linens.
This was how, even in the inky dim of their bedroom at midnight, he could see the stain, broad and dark on her side, the left side, the side closer to the window.
For a moment, his brain refused to catch up, instead assuming, believing, hoping it was still part of his dream somehow. Surely, if he was still asleep, and they were still at 27 Sycamore, then that burgundy patch was not blood, but spilled wine, or red sauce, something harmless, something that could be wiped away and joked over.
a.k.a. Dr. Samira Mohan wakes Dr. Jack Abbot in the middle of the night.

Summary
"I know." But his jaw is clenched, his breathing careful. "Just — let me do this right."
And she understands then that he's scared, too. He’s the one who’s seen her through all of it, who knows her better than she knows herself sometimes. Jack loves her, and she knows he’s terrified of hurting her, of pushing too hard, of undoing the careful healing of the past three months.
His caution is love made physical.
a.k.a. Dr. Samira Mohan is finally medically cleared after giving birth.
