Hope was bawling for about five minutes and they had had enough of it.

"Hope, darling, you are the most adorable being in existence other than your mother but your crying is slightly becoming a nuisance." Hope stared up at the green, non-binary shapeshifter that had practically helped Hope become a reality. Double Trouble raised the little infant from her crib and smiled their friendliest smiled. Double Trouble them closed their eyes and shapeshifted into Catra.

"Now, what would be something your mommy would say?" 'Catra' said. She hissed with her scariest face. "Did that work?" Hope giggled. "Aww, it worked." 'Catra' purred and kissed Hope's cheek. Double Trouble then shifted into themselves. Hope clapped her hands with more giggling.

"Thank you, thank you, darling. Just know that every performance I give requires a subject of payment." They say, letting the little one crawl towards her mothers' bed. Hope crawls with her body fully inside the bed and grunts trying to carry something. Hope pushed a bag of coins towards Double Trouble. "I am dazzled by your intelligence, Hope, darling. Clearly, you carry the brain cells your mothers' never had during that war and when they finally had the guts to confess each other's love."

Double Trouble shifted into She-Ra. "Oh, how I have been missing my Catra's smile and laughter since we parted. My jock-like abilities have only been weak and I wished I could show all of the amazing things I have learned from Glimmer and Bow to Catra."

They shifted into Catra. "Oh, Adora. Why must be enemies in this cruel, cruel world? Why must you become a princess and I, a rampaging, power-hungry Horde leader wants to win until I feel nothing." They shifted back into themselves. "And...hold your applause, sweetie." Hope put her hands down. They took a breath. "And scene." Hope just sat there. "Well, you can clap a little." Hope clapped her hands.

Double Trouble bowed. "They said that I might be rusty because I'm a beginner. Auncle Double Trouble has been very good to you, haven't they?" Hope touched her nose on Double Trouble's. They eyed the infant from head to toe. Double Trouble couldn't lie. Hope was cute but maybe they could make her even cuter.

"Darling, what is this wardrobe you have? It's cute but we need to fix...this." Hope looked down at her clothes and hissed. "That's my girl's girl. Come, we have work to do."

"What do you think?" Double Trouble handed the baby a mirror. Hope grabbed it with both her tiny hands and stared at it. Her old one piece was now something of a bodysuit. Similar to the one Catra wore when she first met Double Trouble. Hope's hair was even tied in a ponytail like Adora before she grew out her bangs.

However, there was something missing. Hope made a sound. "I see. Hold that thought." Double Trouble loosened Hope hair and made part of it poof up. "How's that?" Hope stared at the mirror and smiled at Double Trouble. Double Trouble shared the same energy in their smile. "Now for the fun part, pictures!" They squealed.

Double Trouble suddenly heard laughing and smirked at the baby. They began shifting again and this made Hope smile the most all day.

"DT, we're back," Catra said.

"Double Trouble?" Adora asked and heard baby-like giggling from behind the couch. "Hope? Where's my little princess?" Adora screamed a deafening scream.

"Adora, what happened?" Catra ran into the room. Adora pointed to what she saw behind the couch.

"W-We didn't have twins, right?" Adora stammered. Catra shouted and saw two Hopes, one laughing and the other smirking. "Catra, there's t-two Hopes. W-Why do we have two Hopes! We named her Hope, n-not Hopes with an S! W-Why is there two of her, Catra? Why are there two of her?! Catra, what are hiding from me?" Adora kept stammering.
