“I think I’ll just play with them for a little bit.” You say to Alisa.
“Very well.” Alisa floats away from you.

“So, what d’ya need? Foot massage? Belly rub?” Yoshiko asks her wife.
“Actually, I was thinking… could you tell a story to Jane? I can’t quite get close enough for her to hear me.” Anna presses her hands into the top of her belly, just wanting hands to touch it.
“Of course.” Yoshiko says as Anna pushes herself up the bed. With Anna’s belly at her eye level, Anna begins: “So, little Jane, I’m going to tell you a story about the Bellies.”
Anna could not help but giggle.
“There once were two beautiful women named Anna and Yoshiko, no relation, of course. They had very flat bellies, and would show them off, as they were queens. But, one day, the two queens realized that something had started growing inside them. So, their bellies grew and grew, until everyone thought they would give birth.”
“I like this story so far.” Anna giggles as Yoshiko briefly looks up, before returning to her wife’s belly.
“But, no one knows why, the babies couldn’t come out of their bellies. So, they brought in all the villagers to rub their bellies, hoping it would eventually bring the babies out. But a wizard eventually found out that monsters were growing in their bellies!”
“I wonder how this one’s gonna end.” Anna smirks as she rolls her eyes, understanding her wife’s ability to find a happy ending from almost anything.
“So, they brought the villagers in to rub their bellies again, hoping it would make the monsters go away. Sadly, their bellies popped as the monsters were born, and their souls wandered around the world for a thousand years, before Yoshiko’s landed in a woman’s belly, her last name was Kita, while Anna landed in another woman’s belly.”
“Oh, dear.” Anna puts a hand to her belly.
“When Yoshiko was reborn, she became me, I’m Yoshiko, and when Anna was reborn, she became Anna, and now you’re in Anna’s belly, as John is in mine.” She warmly rubs her wife’s belly.
“Tell the baby more!” Anna says excitedly.
“But, before you and John found your way into our bellies, something evil started growing in my belly.” Yoshiko pokes her belly with all of her fingers simultaneously. “And I was very scared. I didn’t know my belly was going to explode if the monster stayed in there. So, my belly grew, and grew, and my belly just grew and grew. I kinda figured having my belly rubbed would have gotten the monster out, but, alas, the monster stayed inside.”
“Sounds like your belly went through war.” Anna cackles.
“My belly quickly grew bigger than a ball, my belly button was forced out. But then a good witch told me that the monster making my belly grow would make my belly explode if I didn’t find true love. Then, I met Anna. With her magical belly button, she drew the monster out from mine, and trapped the monster in her belly!”
“Please, do tell her what happened when the monster was in my belly.” Anna pleaded her wife.
“Now, a thousand years ago, the great Queen Anna’s belly blew up. However, this Anna,” Yoshiko patted Anna’s belly, “this Anna did not explode. However, it should have, if it weren’t for me. Anna was going to sacrifice her belly to slay the monster, but I showed her I was strong enough to slay the beast together. And so, I rubbed Anna’s belly,” Yoshiko begins to gently run her hand over Anna’s large swell, “and rubbed, and rubbed, and her belly grew, little by little, until it stopped growing.”
“My memory’s a little fuzzy about what happened after that, could you please refresh it for me?” Anna gently smiles at her wife, starting to run her fingers through her hair.
“I thought I failed, as the monster started to move around in Anna’s belly a lot. We both stared at her belly, scared that the monster would be born, until we heard a loud ‘KABOOM!’ from her belly, before it fell completely still. Her belly started to grow again, until black smoke started pouring from her belly button. Unsure what happened, we both watched as her belly shrank, then we realized, we defeated the monster.” Yoshiko says as she kisses Anna’s navel. “Ever since, you and your brother started to grow in our bellies, the reward for our heroic deeds. And, that is the tale of the Bellies-”
Anna’s belly suddenly starts to shake violently as it begins to gurgle loudly.

“What is that?! An earthquake outside?!” You ask in a panic as the uterine walls vibrate with great force.
“No, this is the side effect I was telling you about. Don’t worry, she’s just hungry. Though she’d better eat soon, before you go through another earthquake!” Alisa says as she tries to remain upright.
“How is she hungry when this is happening!?”
“The growling in her stomach is being amplified by my magic- it’s gonna do this until she gets some food in her system!”

“What’s that? Is the baby coming?” Yoshiko babytalks as she sticks her face in her wife’s belly.
“Yoshiko-”
“Is the wittle baby alien finally ready to come out?”
“Yoshiko-”
“Is Mount Anna ready to erupt?”
“YOSHIKO!”
“Yes, dear?” Yoshiko looks up at Anna as the latter’s belly starts to calm down.
“I’m hungry.”
“Don’t move a muscle!” Yoshiko says as she jumps off the bed.
“H-Hurry! I think my belly’s gonna get ready to do that again!” Anna shouts as Yoshiko is out the door. “Ooh… no idea what’s going on… feels like this belly’s gonna blow…”
