Of course there was only one feasible explanation.
Jon was just about to doze off when his phone rang. He picked it up. It was Karyn.
“You did this to me!!”
It was not a question. Jon didn’t know what to say because he wasn’t entirely sure what her condition was. Did she know it was a wish, or did she think he had gotten her pregnant by having sex with her? Did she even know she was pregnant or was she complaining about something else?
“What did you wish for?!”
So the first one then. But, how would she even know she was pregnant? She shouldn’t even have a clue until she misses a period. Or was it something else after all?
“What is, exactly, happening, yeah, I made a wish, but if there are side-effects, which you’re aware of, I need to know…”
Could this actually be an innocent mistake after all, Karyn wondered? Maybe. But if not, he was trying to get her to say something he could use to talk himself out of trouble. He needed to show his cards first!
“You first, what did you wish for?”
And of course Jon didn’t know what to say because not knowing exactly her condition, he didn’t want to say something that would be inconsistent with it. But if he told the truth, she would be rightfully furious. Well he had a tool to get out of trouble.
Karyn heard the sound of Jon rummaging around rather than a verbal reply. “Are you getting the rock? What are you going to do, screw with my mind now?!”
Shit, he thought, he either had to admit something he really didn’t want to or really do something immoral to get out of it now! Which would it be?
Well if the truth really went badly he could screw with her mind or change actual history as a last resort so let’s just see what happens if I come clean, he thought. But lie just a little.
“I, wished, we would have a child together, a daughter, please don’t be mad…”
Karyn sighed. She figured it was probably something like that. But that left some inconsistencies, given what she already knew about the behavior of the thing.
“Wish me over there. Right now.”
“Yes ma’am,” he said grimly. Holding the stone, he said, “I wish Karyn would be teleported into my room.”
“Aiee!” she squealed, trying to cover herself up.
Jon was shocked at her appearance in 2 ways and then looked away.
“You teleported me out of my clothes you jerk!” Karyn cried. Though what was left of her her night dress hadn’t really been containing her body very well and it felt a little better to be naked, she felt especially embarrassed to be laid bare before Jon in her current condition.
“If you had just wished we would have a child together I wouldn’t know anything was different. What were your exact words.”
Jon was silent. He really didn’t want to admit that.
Karyn eyed the rock on the nightstand a foot in front of him. And with him looking away out of squeamishness at seeing her, she seized the opportunity. It sure was harder moving fast like this, but not hard enough to stop her from doing it.
“Uh, Karyn, please, don’t!” he whimpered when he realized she had swiped the stone.
“I wish Jon’s exact wish would be played for us like an audio recording.”
“I wish that Karyn, as soon as she goes to bed, becomes pregnant with my daughter,” the words came from nowhere in particular in the room.
“That’s so much worse than I thought!” Karyn fumed.
“Well, well, I mean…” Jon stuttered.
“I knew it had to be something like that. That’s why I knew you did something. It’s because you wished I would become pregnant when I went to bed, not that I was pregnant. You defined a future event, not rewriting a condition of reality that already existed.”
“Oh. That makes sense,” Jon said.
“What idiotic motivations drove you to wish for that!”
“I guess, maybe I could have worded it better, and shouldn’t have just, done, it to you. But. Is it so idiotic that I love you and would, want that…” Jon defended.
“I wouldn’t have thought so, if not for, one little issue, I wouldn’t have thought it would be so bad to be your wife eventually anyway, but now I’m rethinking that! Still, that shouldn’t have necessarily made me 8 months pregnant…” she said.
“I know, right?!” Jon said.
“But this hurts Jon! I’m not even giving birth and it hurts! And, there’s a reason it’s bad for teenagers to get pregnant! We’re supposed to wait until we can support a child without mooching off our own parents!”
“Yeah, that’s true… but with this stone, we could pretty easily be financially independent, and rich.”
Karyn sighed. “What about what else I want to do in life? I don’t even get to try anything, I just have to go straight into babymaking?!”
“…yeah, maybe it was kind of selfish. I also wouldn’t even need you to grow the baby inside of you, we could have had an artificial womb machine or something. But, I have an idea. Can I have the stone back?”
“How about no. You’re out of credit. You tell me the idea and maybe I’ll wish for it if it’s a good idea.”
“You said it hurts. You’ll feel a lot better by wishing all pain you experience from pregnancy and birth would be replaced with an equal amount of pleasure. Maybe it will even be fun then.”
Karyn gave him a sideways smirk. “Well, ok, maybe that might not suck. Oh god, how good will birth feel though. Supposedly it hurts a lot, but my aunt who was shot in the leg says that hurt so much more and that the women that complain about birth hurting are a bunch of whiners. All right. I wish, all discomfort and pain from pregnancy and birth for me would be gone and replaced with an equal amount of pleasure.”
They looked away for a moment and then Karyn started laughing. “Oh, shit, man!” she said, jumping a little and setting her body jiggling, Jon still looking away.
“You know, you should maybe also, wish, away, the hazardous physical impact of pregnancy, not just the pain. You know, women actually die from childbirth, and their bodies don’t return back to how they were before, afterwards. Just an idea.”
“And a good idea it is,” Karyn said. “Ok, I wish, that pregnancy wouldn’t be hard on my body or dangerous to my health and that even after giving birth, no parts of me would be, um, stretched out, and I would still be as tight down there as my virgin self was a few minutes ago. Also? I wish the baby would not be in any danger from the processes of pregnancy or birth either and would enjoy the experience too.”
“You’re getting into a really weird area now,” Jon said flatly.
After that was granted, she moved around in various ways. “All right. Maybe you’re forgivable,” she said to Jon.
“Sorry anyway though,” Jon said.
“Oh forgiveable doesn’t mean forgiven, you’re not exactly completely forgiven. Not yet. There’s something else I’m going to do. It’s only fair since you did this to me. I wish Jon would get the same condition as me, including getting pregnant with our biological daughter when she goes to bed.”
“What?” Stammered Jon. Then after the wish was granted, in her new higher voice, “What?!”
“I’m a lesbian, Jon. You can’t be surprised.”
“Oh, but, that doesn’t mean…” Jon was about to object that it wasn’t ok that Karyn do this to him, but realized, he had been deciding Karyn’s future for her, without even knowing what she wanted. And honestly, he, or she, really didn’t mind this fate at all. “Ok, I guess, that’s fair. Oh my god, I’m a… I’m going to be…” Jon said, smiling. “Do, do I, look good, as a girl?”
“Yeah,” Karyn said, drooling a bit, as she looked down at Jon’s chest. Jon had also been imbued with big boobs and long blonde hair. Guess she had the same “condition” as Karyn in the consequences of all the wishes that had affected her.
“Come to bed with me, Jon…” Karyn said with a grin.
“Oh, my god…” Jon said.
“Take off your clothes first though. And look at me.”
Jon looked over at Karyn, and felt, nothing. She was attractive, even heavily pregnant, and yet… “Karyn, please wish for me to be a lesbian.”
“Oh. Oh my. By turning you into a girl, you mean, you stopped, being, into… does that mean you now want the d?”
“I don’t even want to be like this long enough to have to think about what it means Karyn, but I need to be into you if we’re going to have a future.”
“Yeah, that’s true. It just feels wrong to change your actual sexual orientation.”
“You already just did when you changed my body. This just changes it back, to what it needs to be.”
“Yeah all right. On second thought, I wish Jon would become bisexual.”
“Karyn!”
“Just making things interesting. You’re still into me, right?”
“Yeah…” Jon admitted, looking at Karyn briefly.
“It’s ok Jon, you can look at me,” Karyn said.
Jon looked at her, and felt things, that were very new to her, but that she was enjoying. Instead of an erection something else happened. “Oh my god, I’m really a girl now.”
“And you always will be. And my GIRLfriend. We’re a lesbian couple. And soon, you’ll be a mom too!”
This honestly excited Jon further. This wasn’t a bad fate.
“Be very careful though because I also made all those wishes in the future tense, so no one will remember you as having been a girl all your life. I didn’t want to erase your life, your existence, that you established, so you’re going to have to decide how to proceed and what wishes you need to do to smooth things over with other people. Now off with your clothes and take your punishment, mom to be!”
Jon smiled as she stripped naked. She pulled her shirt up and out from around her breasts and stroked them briefly before sliding her pants down, enjoying the feeling of not having the usual stuff there. And then down went her underwear. She sensuously slid her hand along the new and unfamiliar cleft.
“What do you think?” Jon asked.
“I’m happy about this if you are.”
“You know I think I couldn’t be happier.”
Karyn linked arms with Jon, their hearts racing. The two of them got in bed together.
“Oh, here I go!” Jon laughed as her belly started growing. Soon she was as pregnant as Karyn, and felt her baby inside her moving. “Oh my god, I’m, a mommy!” she said, stroking at her belly, and reaching lower. It wasn’t anything Jon would have wanted, but now that she had it, she really was glad that she did. This is my body now, she thought. This is who I am. With Karyn. This is, kind of, better than anything I would have thought to wish for…
A strained look appeared on Karyn’s face though. She grunted and fluid gushed out of her. “Jon, Jon, something is… oh my god, I’m going to, right now! Oh my god!” she cried in blinding pleasure as she felt her body convulse and send her new baby sliding towards the exit. “Oh god Jon, it feels so good, better than anything else, I’ve ever….”
“Just relax and let your body do its thing, you wished it wouldn’t be dangerous, so it should be a good experience,” Jon said, navigating over her own big belly to kiss her new girlfriend.
Karyn relaxed and tried not to be overwhelmed by the pleasure, as parts of her insides that were supposed to be touching were pried so far apart. “Here, it comes!” she cried out.
Jon thought about how the same thing was going to be happening to her, and then there it was, the baby’s head, came out stretched and distorted at first, and Jon thought it must have been crushed to death. But no, a moment later, there was just a baby’s head sticking out of Karyn’s crotch. It gasped and cried a bit. But not that much. “She’s beautiful, and tough, like her mommy.”
“Her mommies,” Karyn said with a wry look.
“No, no, I am the father, not only was I a guy when you got pregnant but just being the other genetic parent who’s not carrying the baby, makes me the father.”
“Yeah I guess so,” Karyn said. “Though it’s probably not because she’s tough, it’s because I wished for birth to be a pleasant experience for the baby too. Oh god it feels so good, I want to, stay, like this!”
“With just the baby’s head sticking out of you?”
“I guess that’s not a great long term plan huh? But this feels, so, right…”
“That’s because it’s supposed feel wrong Karyn.”
“Yeah I know,” she agreed.
“Let your body finish it up and then we can meet her properly,” Jon chided.
Karyn dutifully pushed and completed the birth. Then out came the placenta. There weren’t a lot of fluids compared to a normal birth but it was enough to be a mess. But they didn’t have any time to contemplate the cleanup, because as soon as she was done, Karyn’s belly once again expanded to full nearing-birth levels.
“You’re kidding me…” Karyn said in a little despair.
They now were both 8 or 9 months pregnant and had a baby needing attention.
“Oh god Jon, what have you done to us!”
“Me?!”
“Remember your wish?”
“What about it?”
“I don’t remember the exact words but it was like I wish that Karyn becomes pregnant with my daughter as soon as she gets in bed. Not the next time she gets in bed, when she gets in bed, as in every time she gets in bed.”
“You mean, every time, either of us, gets in bed…”
“Yeah Jon. I gave birth because to become pregnant, I must first again not be pregnant even if briefly, meaning the previous pregnancy must end. If you want to prove me right, go ahead and try it, get out of bed and get back in again. I think we both know what will happen.”
“Oh my god,” Jon whimpered, as their new baby giggled a little, as she looked down at her own and Karyn’s bodies.
“It also means we’re both going to be permanently heavily pregnant. Every time we have one, we’ll be in the final stages before birth of the next.
“Oh my god,” Jon whimpered again.
“At least it’s going to feel good,” Karyn said. “Really, really, good. Like, addictively good.”
“But if we get addicted, or even if we just get in bed as needed…” Jon said almost in a trance. “365 per year, for each of us? Oh god Karyn, what have I done to us!”
“Well, to be fair though, you only did it to me, I did it to you, I made the same mistake you did so don’t beat yourself up over it. It’s not too bad Jon. And I don’t mind that I’ll never have a period again. Don’t worry, now that I think about it, with the help of the stone, it shouldn’t be too much to handle.”
“Yeah maybe.”
“Want to, get out of bed, and get back in, together?” Karyn asked.
