**Enid's POV:**

It was a warm summer evening, and the campus was bathed in the golden glow of sunset as Wednesday and I walked hand in hand towards a quaint restaurant downtown. We were celebrating our first year together as a family, a milestone that felt both exhilarating and surreal amidst the whirlwind of parenthood.

As we settled into a cozy corner table, the ambiance of the restaurant enveloped us, offering a rare moment of tranquility away from our dorm room. The clink of cutlery and muted conversations provided a comforting backdrop to our evening.

Wednesday smiled across the table, her eyes sparkling with affection. "Can you believe it's been a year already?"

I chuckled softly, feeling a surge of nostalgia mixed with gratitude. "It feels like a lifetime in the best possible way."

She reached out, tracing circles on the back of my hand with her fingertips. "I'm so proud of us, Enid. We've come a long way."

"And we have so much more ahead of us," I replied, my voice filled with optimism. "Speaking of which..." I hesitated for a moment, unsure if now was the right time to broach the subject that had been on my mind.

Wednesday sensed my uncertainty and tilted her head curiously. "What is it, love?"

"I've been thinking..." I began slowly, choosing my words carefully. "About... maybe expanding our family."

Her eyes widened slightly, a mix of surprise and intrigue dancing in their depths. "You mean..."

"I mean a third child, I'm ready" I clarified gently, my heart racing with anticipation. "I know it's a big decision, but I've been reading about IVF options and... I think it's something we should consider."

Wednesday took a moment to process my words, I squeezed her hand reassuringly. "I want us to think about it together. We don't have to rush into anything."

A soft smile spread across her face, and she nodded slowly. "I'd love to explore that possibility with you, Enid. It's a big step, but i'm glad we have the same opinions ."

Relief washed over me, grateful for her understanding and support. "Thank you, Wednesday. I just... I feel like our family isn't complete yet."

She leaned forward, her voice barely above a whisper filled with determination. "Then let's explore our options. Together."

The rest of our dinner was filled with conversation about our hopes and dreams for the future, intertwined with reminiscences of the past year. We laughed, we shared tender moments, and we savored each other's company as the evening unfolded.

As we walked back to our dorm room later that night, the glow of the streetlights illuminated our path. Wednesday slipped her arm around my waist, pulling me close as we strolled through the quiet campus.

"I'm glad we talked tonight," she said softly, breaking the comfortable silence between us.

"Me too," I replied honestly, a sense of contentment settling over me. "It feels good to be on the same page."

She nodded in agreement, her gaze fixed on the stars twinkling overhead. "Whatever the future holds for us, Enid, I know we'll face it together."

Her words echoed in my heart, filling me with a profound sense of peace and anticipation for the journey ahead. As we reached our dorm room door and stepped inside, the soft hum of the baby monitor greeted us once again, a constant reminder of the love and joy that filled our lives.

Days turned into weeks, and our discussions about expanding our family continued to evolve. We researched IVF options, consulted with medical professionals, and discussed what adding another child would mean for our family dynamics.

Through it all, Wednesday's unwavering support and optimism kept me grounded. Together, we navigated the uncertainties and possibilities, knowing that whatever path we chose, it would be one forged with love and commitment.

One evening, as we sat on our dorm room floor playing with Ellie and Ethan, I felt a surge of gratitude for the life we had created together. The twins giggled around us, their laughter filling the room with pure joy.

"We're lucky," I murmured, watching Ellie reach for a toy with determination while Ethan babbled happily beside her.

Wednesday looked up from where she was stacking blocks with Ethan. "We are," she agreed warmly, her eyes meeting mine with a depth of understanding that spoke volumes.

"And we have room in our hearts for more," I added softly, my gaze drifting to meet hers.

She smiled, a gentle nod of affirmation passing between us. "Yes, we do."
