What will it's fate be?

I hit send. Then wait a few moments till she responds.
-Why? :( What happened?
-Daniel was hurt really badly by Ivy last night, while he was out at a club. I told him to stop messing around but he doesn't listen to me. Grrr.. I healed him, and he's doing fine now but he had a tracker implanted in him. Ethan erased everyone's memory of the incident, but if we would have gotten there even a minute later, they would have poured into the street and caused complete chaos. And, he and Daniel decided to go to Ivy's sister together immediately. They're going to see if she can help them. Sophia and I have to stay back so that she can stay out of harm's way and I can watch over her. Everything's just been stressing me out so much lately.
-Awe, Janet. I'm so sorry. It's hard being a seer. I don't think that I would ever be able to do it. But please, honey, remember you're strong. Don't let this bring you down... I want to help you feel better though. Can I come over? I have no plans for this weekend.
-Actually, yes, that's a great idea. We can take Sophia out too, and spend some time together... I'll get you in an hour.
- Yay! <3 I'll see you soon.
When I pop into her studio, she's doesn't even notice me. She's working on her desk with a multitude of colored pencils strewn about. She's drawing something, and I look over her shoulder to see

"Amazing" I tell her. She looks up to me and smiles and I kiss her pretty lips.
"You really like it?" She asks.
"Yes! It's freakin' beautiful" She then gets up and throws her arms over me, giving me a tight hug. She's petite, and has long dirty blonde hair. She keeps it up in a fishtale braid. She wears a short, flowy yellow dress. She's my little artsy hippie. She's always had a way with art. She even designed my tattoo for me. Her hazel eyes shine in the morning light that spills through her open window.
"It's been so long. I missed you." She murmurs.
"It's only been a week since I've seen you silly."
"It hasn't felt like it" She says with a pout.
I then take her hand, and transport her to the living area. We see Sophia laid down on a plush seat on the ground, playing Call of Duty: World War 2 on the Xbox. She tries to shoot, but ends up panicking and spinning and shooting the gun in all directions. We both crack up, and she quickly turns around and her cheeks turn a bright pink.
"I tried, okay!" She says, then starts to giggle a lil'. Her eyes turn to Lily, and she asks her who she is.
"I'm Lily. Janet's girlfriend " They hug each other in greeting.
