Pregnancy did have its advantages. No period, no worry about getting pregnant, improved bust and sex drive. The downsides were morning sickness, more emotionalism, nutritional demands, stretch marks and discomfort. And of course the usual end result was a very demanding baby.
They were going to try to get the best of both worlds with a wish.
Karyn and Jon both touched the rock as Karyn read the script they had written. "I wish that with no other alterations in our long-term reproduction or health, I am falsely pregnant for the next eighteen months with fetal development size arrested at less than two months ordinary growth, and that I enjoy a substantial but not unusual maternal increase in bust and sex drive but don't suffer from other complaints of pregnancy, and that exactly eighteen months from now I experience an easy miscarriage restoring my fertility the following month.
The now familiar twitch in their eyes confirmed the wish.
Karyn reached her arms around Jon's neck and delivered a very warm kiss. "I'm yours now."
Jon couldn't resist the cliche, "Your place or mine?"
