Blessed by Night

Luna tried her best to stand up without supporting herself on the smoking bed.

She struggled to get her bearings over the course of several moments, and most importantly, hold onto the contents of her stomach.

But it was kind of hard. Something about the way the room was buzzing made her feel queasy, like she was pregnant all over again.

"Feeling alright, love?" Joanne asked. "Cause, uhh… pretty sure you're doing a thing here." She gestured to the room.

Luna finally noticed that the gravity in the room was practically non-existent. Cami was even trying to play with the globs of water floating out of Anna's glass.

It was as if they were on the surface of the moon.

Bianca and Nadine emerged from the bathroom at the same time and both of them were nearly lifted off their feet.

"Woah… Who's in here learning new tricks? I'm pretty sure none of us could do this befo- Hey, why is Anna's shirt off?" Nadine raised a brow.

Luna also wanted an answer to that.

Celeste seemed exhausted. "I was just trying to give her a check up… you should all sit down so that I can look over you as well."

Anna: "I'm hungry."

Joanne: "Me too actually.."

"Your tummy troubles are duly noted. But please, sit down first." Celeste rolled her eyes.

Luna, Joanne, and even Bianca sat down with Anna so that Celeste could take a better look at them.

Was she jealous of their bodies? Absolutely.

But that aside, she was also enamored with them from a purely educational standpoint.

The girls were all sharing the same symptoms of dehydration across the board, but that was where the similarities stopped.

Luna was almost violently hungover. Anna and Joanne were practically in caloric deficits.

Bianca was somewhat hard to read. Her body temperature was elevated, but for all Celeste knew, this could simply be a new normal for the young lady.

"I recommend that you all take a sabbatical on running around and try to visit a hospital instead. You all need fluids and a more in-depth evaluation than anything I could provide you with here." She finally said.

"Nughhh… Outside bad.." Anna flopped backwards onto the bed with her breasts still uncovered.

Luna just threw an unburned blanket over her body.

"Why are you acting like some kind of shut-in? I'm certain you have been outside since you moved here." Celeste poked her stomach.

"Too tired for outside… sleep until it gets dark…" Anna rolled onto her face.

"But aren't you hungry? They have food at the hospital." Celeste tried to coax Anna as if she were a big dog who needed to learn new tricks. Continue your journey with empire

"Ugh, don't want that… Babeeee! Seiii!!" She called.

Bianca, Joanne, Nadine, and Luna all slapped her on the butt.

"Owww! Why?!" She cried.

"Don't try to wake up our fiancé for things like that! You can feed yourself just fine at the hospital." Nadine scolded.

"Wugghh…" Anna made another incomprehensible groan and sat up. "Okay… let's go."

The girls stood up and started to pull on some clothes to leave the house.

Camille had been placed on the floor and given a toy to keep her occupied. However, she only got to play with it for a few minutes at most before she found something much more interesting.

"Ada! Bu!"

*Yawn* "Good morning, munchkin. How long have we been asleep?"

Excited, Anna gained a surprising burst of energy. She waddled over to the other side of the bed where her daughter was running to.

She didnt wake Mal up this time, so it would be fine if she asked him to make her something to eat, right?

"Babe! These guys are being dicks and they won't... woof." Her jaw went slack.

"Woof?" Mal and Sei tilted their heads.

The rest of the rooms inhabitants dogpiled on top of one another to get a good look at the last pair to wake up.

And they, unsurprisingly, had the same reaction as Anna.

""""Woof...""""

-

Malachi analyzed himself in the mirror- not really understanding the girls' reaction. He felt he looked like normal- albeit with his hair now mid-length instead of dangling below his thighs like before.

Dark patterns like tiger stripes could be seen underneath his eyes, dropping down to his neck, and covered the full of his back- leaving the front of his body unmarred.

Well... except for the nice new scar that he had running along his midriff. A gentle reminder of his encounter with the Sin of Wrath.

Though healed, the area was still tender when he touched it. Like a not-so subtle reminder not to try that earlier foolishness again.

Remembering the power he had experienced was almost enough to turn his stomach into knots.

He was so far down the food chain that it was funny.

Shaking off those thoughts, he turned to the woman at his side who seemed to have undergone the greatest change out of all of them.

"I think that the girls should be more obsessed with you than me, my love." He whistled. "I mean this is… Wow."

Beside him, Sei could barely hear his compliments one way or another. She was more shocked than anyone.

She touched her face slightly. Soft, porcelain skin that was smoother than a baby's bottom.

Like Bianca, the dark brown dye in her hair had been pushed out. The black hair that Malachi had only seen in baby pictures was now back in full- paired with a unnatural streak of dark grey.

She had lost a small amount of weight after constantly overheating her body for two full days.

Sei couldn't take her eyes off herself in the mirror. It was almost like she couldn't believe that what she was seeing was her.

She was beautiful.

But there was something else.

"Honey... Could you shut the door for a moment so I can show you something?"

Malachi did as she asked and shut the door quietly to block out the girls' peeping gazes.

As soon as it was closed, Sei started unbuttoning her night shirt.

What lie underneath left Malachi so stunned that he felt like he'd been hit by a truck.

"Sei... What... How...?" Mal wasn't sure to ask first.

Sei looked down at the tattoos on her body and gulped at such a dramatic transformation.

"I-I'm pretty sure... These are everyone's dreams."
