I agree, ita. Of course, it did sound as though he got tons of offers, and so was picky. Which would probably cover the pretty thing. Also, didn't he say that he had a comparative literature degree from Brown? Because if so, is that all you can do with a liberal arts degree ?

I'd assumed twins also based on their birthweights -- the first was 3 lbs something, and the second normal weight, which seems about right for one being born prematurely.
That was my thought.
IIRC, ovulation has in rare cases continued during pregnancy, but the one-as-early, one-on-time thing seems more likely.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I guess we need pictures. How many fallopian tubes and ovaries did she have? I'm envisioning two completely separate structures, but it could be that somehow she just has two ovaries that pipe into two wombs.
Then they share a cervix? This is very confusing.

and you can do the same for me.
This is a good plan. If I could do anything ot make either of your days less irritating, I would.
Instead, I'm sitting at home, doing Spanish homework and waiting for Starting Over to begin.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
As long as you people are switching jobs, you might as well pull the full Strangers on a Train (that's what I mean, right?). I mean, worst case scenario, what is anyone going to say? "It was... um, Shrift! And she lives....um, somewhere in the midwest?"

Identical doesn't seem possible since they weren't in the same uterus. But then I've never had a reason to find out when/where the egg split happens for idents, so I guess I could be wrong.
It was my understanding that the split can happen at a number of different points, including before implantation in the uterus. And that the whole process of being pregnant releases hormones that would cause the woman to stop ovulating, so it would be really weird for her to get pregnant again, despite the second uterus, because of all the hormonal changes in her body.
But I am so not an expert, so someone else is free to be pedantic.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I guess we need pictures.
I really want to read the request for this.
