The first thing a still dazed Lucie did upon entering home, was to go toward her pet rats cages. “Lola, Zeke, mama is sorry she mistreated you. I let my desires blind be, but I promise I won't do it again and, from now on, be a good mama.”
Perceiving the feeble sent of tears, Tabby walked to her long time friend & potential girlfriend before resting a comforting hand on her shoulder. She didn't see Lucie's eyes becoming solid blue again, but the way she tensed, understood she was having another vision.

Lucie had recently moved in with Tabby, who was slowly coming to terms with the fact the only man she ever loved, Luc Damocles, wasn't a man anymore.
Speaking of her favorite lover, she was currently stroking Tabby's belly, glaring proof of her pregnancy. She was due in a few weeks now. When she relented to Luc and accepted to help him become Lucie, she never thought it would make her an expectant mother, but she was happy it did.
“Tabby,” shyly called Lucie “do you think I will make a good parent?” That question again… Ever since she had realized how much of a screw-up gambling her life on those potions had been, Lucie asked this question several times a day.
“Of course you will,” tried to reassure Tabby. Then with an mischievous gleam in her eyes she added “After all, if Zeke of all being could be a good mother…”
“That's mean Tabby!” Mock protested Lucie, before adding in good humor “I had planned to do your favorite for diner, but now I don't know if I should.”
While Lucie walked to the kitchen to prepare their meal, Tabitha Halberd couldn't help but think on what the doctor said all those month ago, that while her soon to be born Katherine was a healthy little girl now, it was only thanks to the red potion Tabby's drank before having sex with Luc; that without it, she probably wouldn't be more than a pile of dead male cells.
She probably should let Lucie know, but couldn't bring herself to. How could she let her know that almost killed their daughter even before her conception? The poor thing doubted her parental skills so much, already…

As soon as her vision ended, Lucie heard the worried voice of Tabby asking “What horror did you see this time?”
“Horror? Is that how you think of pregnancy?” Asked Lucie, “Because in my vision, you seemed rather happy to have our daughter growing in you.”
“Our… ?”
“Conceived while you helped me undergo a sex change.” Interrupted Lucie.
“Of all your visions, that's probably the only one I want to become reality…” Said a now daydreaming Tabby.
What Lucie didn't know, was if it was a good idea for her to be part of said daughter's life. After all, she HAD almost killed poor Katherine even before her conception!

Notes:
Well, I know I said Lucie would always see the worst outcome possible, but sometime the worst outcome isn't so terrible.
Speaking of Lucie's visions, this one should be the last for a little while. (Unless someone else need her to have one, of course.)
