The fact that Kurt doesn't remember her, doesn't know that they've been married for three years, doesn't remember exactly how Jane got to be nearly six months pregnant at home, hurts. Jane's wandering, needing to be out of that room, trying to tell herself that it's just an event, whatever it is, that it'll be over in a few days and everything goes back to normal.

She's looking for a friend, so when she sees Julia, Jane speeds up a little, hand on her belly as she catches up. "Julia!"

Julia recognizes Jane's voice immediately and turns around. The surprise on her face is completely unmistakable.

"Jane?" What the hell? First, she wakes up to some stranger in her bed, and now her closest friend is suddenly incredibly pregnant.

This is starting to feel like less of a weird day and more of an event if she has to be honest.

"Why..." For a rare moment, Julia is lost for words, and she waves at Jane weakly. "Did you wake up like that?"

"...Like what?" she asks in confusion, not even sure what Julia could be talking about. She's been the same since she re-arrived in Wonderland almost a year ago, which kind of sucks. This is turning out to be the longest pregnancy in recorded-but-will-be-deleted history.

"Are you serious right now?"

Of course she is. This is Wonderland. Of course, it would fuck with Jane like this. There is no way this isn't going to be at least somewhat upsetting for her if it turns out to not be real.

And Julia is pretty damn sure it's not real.

"You haven't been pregnant, Jane. Not until this morning, at any rate."

Jane brings her hands to her stomach as if she can protect her pregnancy and her baby against Julia's words while she frowns deeply.

"Every morning that I've woken up here since I got back I've been pregnant. We've wanted this, you knew we thought we'd never get to have it, but we do now," she says defensively, emotionally. "We beat my mother, we beat Roman. We're happy now."
