This page is kind of a last minute addition. Originally, the scene was going to switch here, but I was noticing Rain looking at Emily's belly in the last panel of the previous page, and this idea just came to me.
I'll explain if need be, but I'm hoping the page can just do the talking itself on this one.
Also, I just want to shout a quick thank you to everyone who wished me happy birthday yesterday (or drew fanart, or bought a book, or gifted me a Steam game, or whatever other super nice thing you did). I'm trying to thank everyone, but it's hard keeping up, so I just wanted a general thanks out there. :)
And RedBubble is having a sitewide sale today, with all merchandise being 20% when using the coupon code TACOTIME. I've got Rain t-shirts and stickers and mugs and more.

Both of these deals are today only, so don't miss out. ^_^
I know why Rain is crying, Emily gets to experience pregnancy and being a mother (something that Rain can't do) it's that missing out on something that she should have had that causes the sadness.
I personally don't have that feeling myself as a transwoman but I know many do
Although I do believe in our lifetime we will have a transwoman be able to get pregnant and give birth
I'm one of those that wishes she could get pregnant... and if they finish the medical science to allow me to do so... I will be first in line when they have it finished.
WHAAAAAT!? It was your birthday yesterday!? You didn't tell meeeeee ;A; (I only see things here, lol)
Happy belated birthday Jocelyn!
Anyways, Rain's happy because she realizes she might get to be a mom, I'm sure. I know I'd probably react in a similar way, since I'd like to be a mom, even if through adoption.
The feels on this comic... thanks for including it. Don't shy away from the uncomfortable subjects, they can really help people understand things from a trans point of view. The infamous haircut finally made my mom realize why getting my hair cut was such a big deal to me.
There's a difference between me and Rain. If I were in Rain's place in this strip, I would be experiencing a total explosion of dysphoria by the last panel. Witnessing other people's experience with pregnancy has a tendency to really get to me. It's one of the few things that still does.
I like how short and simple this comic is. It makes it easy to catch up on when school work has me so stressed. Love it so far! I think Rain was crying because she won't be able to get pregnant with a child of her own.. xc

Sometimes you just get some feelings that defy explanation. I was folding clothes once and I found that an old baby sock from my daughter had gotten mixed with the laundry. I started crying like a fool, and the only explanation I could give my wife for the reason I was crying was that the sock was "tiny".
I don't know, I'm not one of those men-don't-cry dudes, but I'm not usually found crying either. To this day, all I can guess is that love for my daughter just overwhelmed me that day. My wife bothered me with "tiny socks" for years, though.
Wait, Jocelyn has Steam? Oh boy, maybe we can play TF2 together at some point. Should change my steam name to Lemonado Girl to be more recognizable first, though.
Well since you asked, you can find me on Steam right over here. And anyone can send me a friend request and I'll absolutely add you as soon as I see it. ^_^
Also, I'm getting the feeling that Rain's remembering that she wants to be a mommy. Which is simultaneously heartbreaking and heartwarming.
Well, if Rain and Emily last, she can be the baby's other mommy! =D

Poor Rain. In her place I'd feel exactly the same.
Personally, I think Rain's crying because Emily's sharing something beautiful with her.
Happy belated birthday Jocelyn!

To celebrate, I ordered all available books and a shirt for my Rain cosplay (because I officially cannot sew raglan sleeves ;~; )
Many happy returns of the day!!!

Now if only I knew your steam account to throw a random game in your direction as a way of saying thanks for making this webcomic :D
Also @Lemonado Girl if you wanna play tf2 sometime add me and send a message whenever, just keep in mind I haven't played a whole lot recently.
There's a Rain community there too. ;)
