Jenny said, "I'm pregnant."
Gary said, "You can't possibly know...."
"I mean, we both know how my wish works. I'd have two of your children like Lorraine did. We can change the wishes a little bit. You can try to interpret 'like Lorraine did' to mean something else, and say that the children are twins, or they're someone else's children, or that I have children when I get to her age, but I have to have them. There's no way to make it so I won't have them at all."
"I tried to get revenge on you. And if it wasn't for that, we wouldn't have this. Now both of our lives are messed up."
"It's all right, Gary. I forgive you." Gary had wished, of course, that Jenny wasn't mad about his wishes, even the revenge one. He'd also made her cooperative with him. "You are my husband and being Jenny made me have feelings for you. Gary, can you fix this? I'm just a teenager, even if I'm your wife for now. I'm at my limit."
"I changed Biff back by saying that he's a sexy cheerleader because he did it once as a guy for a girl's football game. That would fix you."
"I'd still be married to you. And I don't think it would work anyway. How am I going to have your children if I'm a guy?"
"Guys can have have children. The wish was to have children, not to give birth to children."
"Guys don't have children 'like Lorraine did'."
"Oh. Well, Jenny, I still think this has gone far enough. Everything here has happened because you wished something on Biff that you had no right to wish, and everyone else including me, and you when under the influence, reacted. If it wasn't for that first wish of yours, none of this would ever have happened. I'm going to do what's needed to get my own family and my own life in order. I'm not going to take any more revenge on you and I'll do the best I can, but fixing things for myself has to be my first priority."
"W-- what are you going to do? And you know, I'm your wife, so we're family now. And we both feel it. It isn't just words somewhere on a piece of paper."
"I said I'd do the best I could, Jenny. Let's go." There was no need to say that, but it helped psyche himself up. "First of all, I wish that I'm still living with Lorraine, and not with Jenny, even though I'm married to Jenny. I wish that Lorraine understands that everything happened because of wishes, and that she's not upset like she'd be because of a normal divorce or a normal mistress or a normal remarriage or a normal husband who has children with someone else. I wish that my life with Lorraine is pretty much like it would be if I was still married to her. I wish that the rest of my family isn't upset either. Now, a lot of effects of the marriage are outside the wish range. We're still married for tax purposes. Our relatives outside the range still remember us as being married. Things like that. I don't need to wish for them."
That wish wasn't visible. Nothing obvious happened. Jenny said, "Is that all?"
"No. I wish that Jon magically turned into Jenny for no reason that anyone understands, and then became a cheerleader, but it happened recently and everyone knows you used to be Jon, so you have most of your life back."
Jenny said, "That's not so bad. You were talking as though you had to do some terrible thing to me to fix yourself. Is that all?"
"That's it. I'm not going to do anything to you."
"Then why did you act like...."
"Because that's it. "
"What?"
"Because I'm not going to do anything to you! I'm going to leave things this way. Everyone remembers that you're Jon and you recently turned into a girl and became a cheerleader. You're my wife, and I love you like a wife, and you're still pregnant with my child and I'm not changing that. And the wish was for "children" in the plural, so if it's not twins, you may have to become pregnant with my child again."
Lorraine opened the door to see Gary and Jenny naked on the bed next to each other. "Are you finished?" she said.
"Uh, yeah, I am," said Jenny. "I'd better go."
"You and Gary have feelings for each other that a husband and wife would, don't you?"
Jenny had to admit, "Yes, we do. But I used to be a boy."
"And you really do want to have his children, right?"
Jenny reluctantly stammered out "I'm a boy! I can't have... I admit it. Yes I do. He's my husband and having his children is the most important thing in the world. But I realize what's wrong with the idea. We just feel that way because of a wish. You know about the wishes, right?"
"Of course I do. So I can't be mad at you. You became Gary's wife because of a wish that you made because you were influenced by another wish. I admit that it's odd to see Gary have more children with someone else, especially someone who used to be a boy, but good luck. I wonder what Biff will think now that one of the girls from his class, who used to be a boy, is going to give birth to his brother or sister. Maybe if you come over for dinner tomorrow, you can give Biff the news."
