Welcome to Gaia! ::

"How about this..." Mary started to suggest as she put her plate down, "We're both pregnant, you're a warrior, I look like a killing machine and even after all this is over its unlikely the town will like us as much as they once did. Therefore, I propose you take me with you and you and I go on a nice little journey with our kids. You can teach me to be a hunter and we can act as nomads. I'm not the best at cooking or cleaning, but I'm sure I could help make us a nice home on our travels." Mary rubbed her belly and added, "I'd hate to see you suffer alone and not be able to continue to do what you like."

Mary shrugged and laid back on the couch. "Well, I'd like to go and explore the world. This place can be boring at times and you seemed to have more freedom to do that. So I opened up the idea considering you'd jump at it."

"Let's just wait and see then..." Mary whispered as she sat on the couch holding her belly she watched her breasts expand and start leaking milk again. "Darn, I still can't get over how fast this process is. At least I know I'll have rich milk to feed my baby." She was slightly upset that her black dress now was ruined, but this couldn't be helped. It was almost impossible to tell when her body would change again if at all. As she thought these thoughts her belly almost grew some more. Both of these sudden growth spurts were now starting to put more strain on her clothes again then necessary.

"Um, do you think I need a new set of clothes again? If so this might be a good time to go out and see the village again."

"Ah, well, it's not like I could expect this to happen so quickly." Mary retorted. She stood up and followed Jessie. "Lead the way and let's go see the village. I don't care about my clothes this will dry rather soon I bet and I can just say I got sprayed with water or something. Not the best answer or come back, but I'm pregnant they'll understand."

"I think it's just a coincidence. Now let's go out." Mary stated as she went for the door. "The villager's can't be kept waiting."

Mary opened the door to Jessie's house and across the way saw a giant spider sitting on the roof. She gawked and said, "Now that's not something you see everyday. Let's avoid the house across the way and go somewhere else."

"Help!" a voice screamed, "My son's turned into a giant spider and is trying to eat the house!"

"Sorry, we can't help you! We've got our own problems!" Mary answered them back. "I hope they're okay..." she whimpered looking back at Jessie.

"I'm sure you're not going to turn into a spider, even though that does sound pretty scary." Mary looked around some other houses across the street. She saw a girl and three other girls walk out of the house next door and noted there was something odd about them. They all looked exactly the same down to the smallest details!

At another house next door to that she saw a guy standing in front of his yard looked at his house and crying. It was clear why he was since he was as tall as his house and had no way to get in the front door. This made Mary slightly sad on the inside. He'd have to buy a new place that could fit his tremendous height.

Finally, at a third house strange creatures with pointy ears came out of the house. "Hey, Jessie did we ever have elfs or gnomes maybe living in the village?" she said as she pointed towards this house. If they hadn't then it was clear pieces of the space rock had gone and really changed the village. The odd thing was that she'd yet to see anyone who was pregnant like her or Jessie. The rock seemed to do many things, but had not produced a similar effect to theirs among anyone else in the village.

"You meant that sarcastically right?" Mary spoke grimly as she looked at Jessie and then to all the other people again. "I'm sure we can find someone as freaky as us."
