does not already possess one

如果它没有,再怎么折腾也长不出来

Aemma王后在这里很直白地吐槽她老公,`does not already possess one` 是指如果胎儿天生就没有某个器官(这里暗指小JJ),你再怎么祈祷、庆祝,它也不会凭空长出来。这个表达在口语中可以用来强调,某个事物如果本身不具备某种特质,外力是无法强加的。

You do understand nothing will cause the babe to grow a cock
if it does not already possess one?
This child is a boy, Aemma.
