Los Angeles, California, Earth
The relationship of Anne Boonchuy, Sasha Waybright, and Marcy Wu is one for the ages. Each of them had romantic feelings for the other two for many years but they never got any further than pining over each other until they drunkenly confessed on Anne's 23rd birthday. After that, they began dating and things had steadily progressed. It wasn't too difficult for Marcy to move back to California, since she was mostly working from home, and some Hollywood animation studios were interested in hiring her. The three of them pooled their money together and got their own apartment. It wasn't particularly fancy, but it was nice.
And things only grew from there. They happily dated for two years before they all decided to propose… at the same time.
That was quite a night.
The wedding was as hectic and chaotic as you'd expect from an event planned by Marcy but they wouldn't have it any other way. All the human friends and Allie's they met over the years were in attendance, even Maggie, who gained a newfound respect for Anne after the Frogvasion. Sasha's parents were not there, but she had already severed ties with them long ago. She didn't mind. (Yes she did.)
So yeah, things weren't perfect, but the three heroes of Amphibia lived happy lives as happy wives.
So why did Anne feel like something was missing?
She had felt like this for a while but could never quite pinpoint what the source of the problem was. It wasn't Amphibia. Not a day went by where Anne didn't miss her frog family, but she had reluctantly come to terms with the fact that she wasn't returning to her second home anytime soon. What she felt now was something different.
Anne finally realized what it was when she was watching an old comedy movie with Marcy and Sasha. The movie was about three guys having to take care of a baby, and Anne was transfixed the entire time. She knew exactly what was missing from her life. She didn't want to interrupt the movie with what was bound to be a serious conversation, so she waited until it ended to ask what was on her mind.
"Have you ever thought about kids?" Anne asked, somewhat nervously.
Sasha could sense the apprehension in Anne's question and tried to lighten the mood. "I'm a child psychologist, so I guess I think about kids a lot."
Marcy chuckled while Anne was unimpressed. "That's not what I meant, Sash."
"I know," said Sasha, a little sheepishly. "I never thought about having kids to be honest. I guess I see enough of them doing my job."
Anne nodded and turned to her other wife. "Marcy?"
The artist shrugged. "I thought about it once or twice but I never seriously considered it. Did watching this movie make you want a baby?"
"I guess," said Anne. "For a while I've felt that something's been missing in our lives. I wasn't quite sure what was missing, but seeing three people living together and taking care of a baby made me finally realize what it is: a baby."
"I thought Domino 4 and the frogs at the aquarium are your babies," said Marcy, laughing a little.
"They are!" said Anne. The gray cat jumped up onto Anne's lap upon hearing his name. She began petting him affectionately. "That's right, you're my baby. Yes you are."
"Uh, Anne…?" asked Sasha.
Anne was a bit embarrassed at what her wives just saw, but quickly continued. "So yeah, I want a baby." She was quick to placate Sasha and Marcy. "We don't need to have a baby. If you two don't want that, that's fine.
"Well I'm in," said Marcy enthusiastically. "I think we'll make great parents!"
"You two will, but I won't."
"Sash?" "Sashy?"
Sasha stared down at her hands, not quite willing to look her wives in the eye at the moment. "Don't get me wrong, I agree that it's a good idea…"
"But?"
"But I'd definitely mess it up." Sasha sniffled. It was clear she was holding back tears. "I'm afraid that if I become a mom I'll only make the same mistakes my parents made."
"But you work so well with children," said Anne, trying to reassure her.
"It's different when it's your own child." Sasha shed a tear.
"No, you're wrong," said Marcy with conviction. "You will be the greatest mom who ever lived." She wrapped Sasha in a hug which Anne quickly joined.
"Marcy's right," said Anne. "Just think about your parents and all of the bad parenting you've encountered in your career and do the opposite."
"And you'll have us!" said Marcy. "If you ever feel like you're becoming your parents then you come right to us. Besides, if we can defeat mechanical eldritch horrors, then we can do anything!"
"Thanks, girls." Sasha had a newfound confidence. "I think I'm ready to do this."
Anne and Marcy smiled knowing that Sasha's crisis was over. Though she still had one lingering question.
"You were thinking about adopting, right? 'Cause I don't think any of us want some random guy's juices in our bodies."
"Yeah, I was thinking about adopting," said Anne, blushing from Sasha's choice of words.
Marcy didn't seem to be embarrassed at all and seemed to be more energetic than before. She ran into the kitchen and came back with a champagne bottle the trio had been saving for a special occasion. "Yeah, we're the Calamity Moms!"
Obviously parenthood wasn't going to be easy, but it would be a wonderful experience.
Author's Notes: I'm not sure how long this one will ultimately be. I have a few chapters planned, but beyond that I suppose I'll update this whenever I get an idea involving Sashannarcy and their children.
The movie they were watching is Three Men and a Baby, which I haven't seen but I heard is good.
