    It's a multiverse. ALL publisher-presented AUs are canon. And that particular "What If?" story fits all known facts about Rachel's parentage.

    We know canonically that Rachel is Jean and Scott's child per "What if? Vol 2 32-33". We even know when and where she was conceived (on the butte in the desert as shown in UXM 132).
