I've seen a lot of readers speculating about it already, but since the characters are talking about it now, let's officially discuss. Do you think Emily's having the baby here at this party?
For context, she's about 37 weeks in. It would technically be a little early if it happened here, but it would still be perfectly possible to have a healthy child in that amount of time. The question is: is that what's going to happen? Is it too obvious? Is it the best time for the story? But if not at the party, then when? I'd love to hear what you all think, so place your bets! ^_^
Friendly reminder that Rain is now available in French! The first four chapters are now live as of this weekend, and more will go up every Saturday. ^_^
While I know most of you can and probably do already read in English, the option is there if you're bilingual, or if you know anyone who is more comfortable reading in French that you think might enjoy the story. I invite you to share this with anyone you think this might benefit. ^_^
I read this while on hold for an important phone call, so I had to hold my breath for a second so I didn't burst out laughing when I saw the T-shirt. Loved it.
I was going back and reading old comics, and in one of the bonuses, Gavin is wearing a Toasters on Fire shirt.

I would love to see Gavin and/or Gavin's dad recognize the shirt, and talk with Vincent about it, so Vincent met some of his fans. That would be awesome.
I'm kind of imagining her going into labor while they are watching the firs episode of Kaminari.
And then she asks if she can finish to watch it before leaving
We don't know how popular it was, though IIRC their popularity did drop when word was getting out that their lead singer was trans.... And, though I suppose we don't know for certain, we have a decent clue that they were all in the same area back then... (Gavin and Rain were friends before Gavin moved away (presumably a result of his parents split), and there's what little Rain called Vincent back then... (Though what do you expect from a 3yo... Even Vincent acknowleges that everyone noticed that feature on him...))
I have a feeling it is going to happen this chapter, but I'm lowkey hoping it doesn't lol. I'm hoping that, like other major events that have happened in this comic, it gets a whole chapter of its own.
Well, Trevor does know about Rain's history from Gavin's request for advice way back around Xmas, when, for a brief moment, he thought Gavin was coming out as gay...
There was an author's notes a while back about the first time Emily felt the baby kicking and how it was a bit early. I would not be at all surprised for that trend to continue…
If that would have been the case, I would have expected Rain to be the one misgendered - he knows her history, but has no reason to know about Vincent at this point...
If Trevor were going to be transphobic it would probably be directed at Rain and not Vincent. Trevor knows Rain is trans, but he doesn't know anything about Vincent.
You know I can't pass up an invitation to speculate on the story. ;)
The party is way too obvious. I'm thinking: first appearance of Emily's baby is as a healthy infant in Emily's arms at Rain's 18th birthday. Then someone there asks about the baby, and there's a flashback scene of Emily having the baby, but we the readers already know that everything turned out okay because it's a flashback.
Emily has had enough drama! She deserves as peaceful a birth experience as possible. The tension would be the impact of the baby on her and Rain's relationship, but we already know that Rain is excited for the baby.
If Emily's mother shows up again I'm gonna flip!
I was thinking that the odds of Emily giving birth right now were not super high, until I saw the title of this page. But that's some definite foreshadowing right there.
I hope not. I know stories often go for drama, but it'd be nice to see Emily call Rain/Fara up on a random day to say "aaaack, help?" Having it happen here feels like too much coincidence, especially given how many other coincidences have happened in the story (Rain running into her childhood friend in the mall, Kellen knowing Emily's ex, Rain getting picked for prom "king", etc.). So far it's felt pretty natural, but this wouldn't and would be a stretch too far for believability -- one too many things in too short a time. (Just my opinion.)
Honestly, I hope not. I want a chapter of the whole crew just having a really fun time with no worries. Emily's baby had better wait until after the pool party. :P

Personally I don’t think Emily will be going into labour at this party. Maybe next chapter though.
And then she asks if she can finish to watch it before leaving
i'll get my coat.
And then have her waters break on the way home!
