Does Jazz want to have / ever have kids?
Honestly, if you'd asked me this before Endwalker happened, the answer to this would have been so much more complicated.
But yes, yes, Jazzele definitely wants kids! She's always loved them, has always been softest on children whenever they come up to her in towns and the like. Sometimes she gets exasperated by the more mischievous ones, but they find their weak spot on her just as quickly - like Konogg and Anogg of the Nier Raid? Absolute nut jobs those two, but her heart absolutely shattered when it came to them at the end, god help her.
Before Endwalker though, if you'd asked her if she'd wanted kids, she wouldn't be able to think about it. I feel like there's always just been - a part of her inside that has Hurt when she's even so much as thought about bringing kids into the world. Maybe it's a bit of trauma from when she left her tribe? That whole staggering feeling of 'the world is in fact, not kind' that she couldn't bear to consider bringing out more kids to face that kind of conflict and pain that the world can bring. Not to mention the fact that she's never had real 'parents' for herself, in the way that other people seem to have, so she's not sure if she'd be able to do things right.
G'raha recognized this back then and they've had a few discussions regarding it - he definitely wants kids, but he only wants them if she does too. And it was slow going trying to get her to even open up about it, it's like her fear just kept her shut up and quiet. He has ever been patient with her though, and he knows if she wants them, she'll get to that conclusion in time herself.
At first in all honesty, she couldn't even bear to think about it, not names, not number of kids, not nada. And when She can't even think about it, I also can't imagine anything to do with it, so I just kinda swept it from my mind, sorta accepting that I'd never have the chance to write it out.
AFTER ENDWALKER THOUGH HAHAHAHAH YES, VERY MUCH YES. She starts considering it somewhere idly through Thavnair, like a little spark of 'hmm, i wonder'. Doesn't really think much of it, then Garlemald happens, the Final Days starts, and even when she sees for herself the sheer amount of pain and heartache everyone is going through, she realizes in that moment how much more important it is to experience a joy of love while she has the chance to take it! Even if she cannot promise them a world without pain, or promise them even a happy life - seeing the way the Garlean's still strived to protect their kids from the cold, with such earnest desperation, to save the only measure of love they had left - it kinda struck something in her.
She's always wanted kids, but she was never sure she could give them all the love and care they deserved, was never sure she could do it right, but to see the way these people still tried, even with such limited resources at their disposal, to give everything they'd had and more - it only made her want her own family more. To have a family she could love so deeply and with so much care, to give them even a measure of that same devotion these people felt and experience it for herself, with the one man on every shard who would so gladly share the experience with her, and make it something beautiful for them both.
Anyway, long story short - yes, she wants and will have kids. 3 to be specific - but that only happens After their two weddings, and they literally just got engaged so they have some planning to do hihi! 💜
