Dear well, me,

Hi. Can I just say, I don't think anyone's had a delivery quite like...us—you—me? Anyway, in the length of about a millisecond, you and me and Bruce are gonna get hit with almost five years worth of memories. It's gonna hurt, and it's gonna be confusing. I'll break it down for you. So, we started going into labor with baby E, right? This was on April 18th, 2005, very early in the morning. My gut told me to Travel. So Bruce and I did, with Nick staying behind to bring us back to 2005 (the future for you) once I was ready. Baby E was born in 2000, on April 18th. And that's where he'll stay. Growing up as a 2000's baby. You'll have all the memories of this day, and the five years spanning from April 18th, 2000 to 2005 that have yet to happen to you and won't exactly be the same now that E's here. I'll have all the memories of 2000 to 2005 that'll happen now that he is apart of them, but I'll be missing out on what it was like to raise E in a place he wasn't once in. Think about it as the block theory, only with memories.

It's gonna be weird.

Whenever the topic of your pregnancy comes up, people will suddenly get very confused, and they won't remember much about it. They'll blame it on 1999, and the fact that a lot of people thought the world was gonna end that year anyway. They'll go on as if E was meant to be in the time that he's in because he is. You know this—I know this. Bruce doesn't really get it, but he knows I always do what I do for a reason.

You know the reason. We've always known the reason.

Please, please, please video everything. Even if I'll remember it. I still wanna relive it if I can. Together, we got this. Elsa and Nick will be great grandparents. We'll be great parents. We know he'll be okay, don't we? He's the Savior, after all. It's in his name; strong and safe.

Also, whatever you do, stay calm today. Accidents happen.

Safe Travels,
Tess
