Glynda, Velvet, and YN are sitting in the clinic waiting room.

Glynda: I wonder if it'll be a boy or a girl?

YN: I hope it's a boy.

Glynda: Why so?

YN: Because, with a son, you'll always have that bond, but when your little girl gets married, you're no longer the most important person in their life.

YN tears up.

YN: It's the happiest day of your life, but it'll never be the same.

Velvet: How do you know?

YN: I've had thirty three daughters and thirty two sons. I remember each of them, I loved each of them.
Only one has ever disappointed me.

Glynda: Roman?

YN: He was my one disappointment, and in all fairness, I was a disappointment to him.

Velvet: Who's Roman?

YN: Torchwick.

Velvet: Roman Torchwick is your son?!

YN: Unfortunately so, it's a long story and I'd rather not talk about it here.

Velvet: I understand, but what about your other children?

Glynda: That's a good question, you haven't even told me.

YN: Most of my children have passed, only four of them are alive and only one of them is legitimate, one son, and three daughters. You know of Roman, but my three daughters are, Winter and Weiss Schnee and

Glynda & Velvet: WINTER AND WEISS ARE YOUR DAUGHTERS?!

YN: They are indeed. They take after her father, don't they?

Glynda: Do they know?

Velvet: It explains the personality, not the height though.

YN: Winter knows, Weiss doesn't. Now, my other daughter, my one legitimate child, well, she's rather private.

Glynda: What do you mean, private?

YN: She wouldn't like it if I told you about her.

Velvet: How would she know?

YN: Trust me, she would know.

At this point, they hear a door open.

Doctor: Mr LN Ms Goodwich, please, come in.

The three get up and then go into the doctor's office and Glynda sits on the examination table.

Doctor: Now if you'll lie down I can use the scanner.

Glynda lies down and the doctor uses the scanner.

Doctor: Good news you two, you are going to have a son.

Glynda: A son, I'm going to have a son.

YN: We're going to have a son!

Velvet: It's just like you wanted. Do you have any idea what you might name him?
