Yuko nods understandingly. "I'll be around. Just open the book.", and she fades out of view, before rapidly reappearing, "Oh! And just so you know, the book doesn't look like this to other people.", she taps the cover, "It'll look like a magazine, or a text book, or something. Depends on the person, and it'll be influenced by what you suggest it is. Also, they won't be able to see me, either."
You nod, and look at the page one more time, shutting the book. The rest of the night is uneventful. You finish doing the dishes, take a bath, and watch something on TV before curling up in your futon to go to sleep. You rest in your bed for a bit, mind still on the book. Getting up, you go back to the kotatsu where you left it and bring it to your futon, hugging to your arms around it as you fall asleep.
You see yourself standing in the front entrance of the Catscratch Cafe, and as you walk in, Suzume waves hello and wishes you good morning. She walks to you from around the counter, her 9-month-with-twins pregnant belly leading the way. "Heya Mutsuko!", she calls, wrapping an arm around your shoulder and guiding you in ,"Have a good sleep? I know you said you've had some trouble the last few days."
You nod, eyes wide at her pregnant belly. Seeing your gaze, she smirks and pats it with her free hand. "Yeah, they're getting big, huh? Won't be long now...Ooh! They just started kicking, wanna feel?"
Reaching a hand out to feel, you hear a voice calling you from the back - Izumi. Suzume lets you go, waddling into the kitchen, and coming out with a full tea set with cakes. Turning the corner, you enter the hostess club portion of the cafe. Where the front of the cafe was full with customers, Izumi's alone in the back with just 2 clients. She excuses herself and comes to talk to you. Clapping her hands in front, she bows her head slightly, looking ready to apologize. "Hi Mutsuko... I'm really sorry, but can I take tomorrow off? I know I took a day off just last week, but my parents are in town because they wanted to be here for when I...", she averts her eyes and smirks, "...pop."
You look down as your eyes adjust to the dimmer lighting, seeing Izumi's belly looking even bigger than Suzume's, and the maid outfit she's wearing looks damp around her breasts. You open your mouth to answer her when the customers call her back. "Sure, take it easy.", you manage to say as she thanks you and turns away. You go to leave, but out of the corner of your eye, you see Izumi lift part of her costume, exposing a breast and she gives it a squeeze, squirting some breastmilk into a cup of coffee.
Returning to the main part of the cafe, you can see all of your staff are pregnant, looking various sizes, but almost certainly full-term. You still look around in a panic at the unusual scene, when you feel movement in your core. Your eyes slowly drift down to see the overstretched fabric around your belly, skirt apron barely tied as you feel movement inside you - inside your womb. The weight finally settles in as you touch your belly, and feel the baby... make that babies... inside wiggling and kicking.
Your eyes fly open and you see sunlight streaming in. Following your first instinct, you touch your tummy, finding it completely flat. However, your abdomen still aches, and reaching between your legs you find yourself feeling aroused. You can't deny that a part of you was excited by the idea, both from a visceral perspective, and from a business one... if only you could get them to agree...
Throwing off the futon, you go to fold it when the book falls out of the blankets - probably the source of your dream. With a grin, you put the book back on your table and go about your morning routine, before grabbing your bag and heading off to work, but not before grabbing the book and carrying it with you.
Suzume welcomes you as she does every morning, and you notice she's decidedly not pregnant this time. It looks like the cafe is pretty empty too, just one customer, currently being attended to by Haruki. You go into the kitchen, saying good morning to Kagari, who's busy stirring a pot of curry. "Are Shione and Setsuna in yet?", you ask.
Kagari shakes her head, asking if you want to try one of this morning's cakes. You nod, saying you'll try in a minute, and you enter the employees' room, changing into your maid outfit. When you leave, Kagari's resting on a stool, eating a muffin, and she hands you an eclair. "Well, we can at least rest easy that the lack of business isn't due to bad food.", you chuckle, and Kagari joins you, letting out a sigh.
"Well, I should get back to the curry.", she says, and goes back to the stove. You look down to your bag, tossed into the corner of the staff room and still visible from where you're sitting. If you were going to try it, it was now or never. Use the book to make...
