I rushed to Kate's side. She was naked, her usual state when alone. I had never seen a naked woman so pregnant...I didn't know where to look first.
Her breasts had grown, and they had already been nice C cups. They must have been D's now! Her formerly flat tummy was very distended, with stretch marks.
She looked beautiful, though really tired. I helped her to lay back on the bed.
"Where have you been?!" She looked at me with a combination of anger and concern.
I sat on the bed next to her. "It's more 'when' than 'where'," I responded.
She looked confused for a moment, and then clued in. "Time travel...he was that powerful? When did you go, and when did you get back?"
"Same answer. Arrived yesterday, with no time passing in between for us."
Tears rolled down her cheeks. "My location spells just fizzled, like you didn't exist. I knew you weren't dead, because I still loved you." She was referring to the effect of her backfired love potion. "A few days after I restored my portal they towed the car. I kept an eye on your apartment, but then they evicted you. I didn't know what to do, and then I started to get big..." She gestured to her belly, as if it wasn't obvious what she meant.
"Yeah, how did this happen?" I asked.
She gave me an incredulous look. "For you it's only been a day, and you forgot? You filled me up with your super sperm the night before we went after Eros. Er, the second time, I guess."
"No, I meant I thought you didn't age. Wouldn't a pregnancy require getting older?"
"Oh," she said, mollified. "Um...well, when you said you were worried about growing old without me, I removed the anti-aging spell. Then once I realized I was pregnant I couldn't put it back in place without killing the baby." She caressed her stomach lovingly.
I put my hand on her belly and felt a little kick. "Wow."
"Yeah, she's pretty active these days."
"She?"
"Yes...I couldn't stand not knowing, so I scried. I think I'm the first witch that's ever gotten pregnant and kept her magic, due to not actually losing my virginity in the process." She looked smug.
Demie called from the portal entrance, "Everything okay in there?"
"Yeah!" I yelled.
"Eros?" Kate asked.
"Smashed."
"Good. I knew you two could do it."
I looked down. "Yeah, except..."
