First and foremost, it is important to remember that in Magicverse, there really isn't much difference socially from the world we live in today. Most of the government structures remain the same, and so do many laws, except that in most cases, homosexual / same-gender / polyamorous relationships are not illegal.

The most important thing you need to remember about Magicverse when it comes to my kids is that energy magic is what causes magic babies to be born/created and everyone has energy magic that they need to live. Energy magic is used for simple everyday spells that everyone can cast regardless of skill level (though skill level does affect how well the spell comes out). The whole process of magic babies is explained a little bit later.

In Magicverse, everyone is born with four types of Magic plus the energy magic everyone needs to live. Right now, all that's important is the energy magic.

In Magicverse, there are two ways to make a baby that is genetically related to both parents (AKA without going through surrogacy or adoption). The first method is the usual way of making babies, you know the one. But, of course, this isn't always applicable, as sometimes the parents wouldn't be able to have a baby that way normally. Although science has advanced to the point where stem cells can be used to create gametes which can then be used to create embryos which are implanted into a donor womb, this is tricky and doesn't always work.

Thus bringing us to the second method of reproduction, which is not always voluntary: energy magic. When two people share an emotionally intense moment, there is an approximate 25% chance of their energy magic fusing temporarily. When two energy magic streams are fused for any amount of time, there is a chance of a new soul being born from that union. However, energy magic is a strange type of creature in its behavior. The emotionally intense moment can be just about anything, and the parents don't always know that the energy fusion has taken place until a few days later.

No pregnancy is involved with magic babies, as the name might suggest, they are born of magic and therefore don't need to grow inside of a womb. However, the parents will know before a magic baby is born that they are expecting one. One of the parents (chosen completely at random yet again) will have a ball of energy appear within their vicinity, almost always within their home. Usually, they don't yet know who the other parent is; that's discovered after the baby itself forms around the ball of energy, referred to as a soul. It's said that the parent receiving the magic baby gets a vision of the other parent that is never wrong, though those who are skeptical can have DNA tests done. Either way, you get the same result.

Two weeks after the ball of energy appears, it will rapidly collapse in on itself in a bright flash, and in its place will be a newborn human, usually average-sized. There is no such thing as a premature magic baby, however some magic babies can be born sickly if one of the parents is sick at the time of "conception", so to speak, or has a chronic illness like in Kaito's case. As far as development goes, magic babies are entirely normal and indistinguishable from normally-born babies. They face little to no stigma from society thanks to this.

So, to sum it all up:

     ⋆ Energy magic exists and can create babies.

     ⋆ Babies can be created from an emotionally intense moment between two people, no matter if they are the same gender, dating, etc. The only limits are that blood and adoptive relatives cannot make magic babies, children under the age of 18 can't make them, significant age gaps (10 or more years) cannot produce them, and abusive relationships will never result in a magic-born child.

     ⋆ It takes about two and a half weeks for a magic baby to be "born", but there is no pregnancy. Rather, a large ball of energy which appears in one parent's home is the source of their birth.

     ⋆ Magic babies are literally no different to normally-born human babies, as they are all human. They develop and grow at exactly the same pace as their peers. Thanks to this, there is little societal rejection of them, however many are often placed up for adoption by parents who feel as though they cannot keep them or are not ready to keep a child.

     ⋆ Babies can, also, of course, be born the complete normal way. There's nothing wrong with that, either.
