Prospective Parent 2: Avalon Sadie Lewis-Harper [36]
Avalon is a triplet. She’s used to being crowded by siblings and noise, and thus is fully supportive of her wife’s dream for a big family.

Aerie is still having trouble adjusting to a new way of life with her sister, but she’s very much a flexible girl.
