Comments on 'The Miraculous One-Week Pregnancy'It was a few days later that I gave birth. A few _annoying_ days. If that's what it feels like to carry a child for even a few days, I don't know how they manage to do it for nine whole months. The other girls all stared at me, and I didn't blame them. I couldn't explain how I'd been gone for just a couple of days and came back eight months pregnant, so I just didn't try.
In the meanwhile, I examined the pump. It was more than just a straight bicycle pump. There was a knob on it with three settings: "air," "size," and "age." It had been set to "air." I wondered what "age" did. I considered trying it on some of the other girls, but couldn't figure out how to ask them to stick the nozzle in their mouth so I didn't bother.
When I gave birth, a set of twins slid right out: a boy and a girl, healthy and apparently normal in every way. But there was intelligence behind their infant eyes. I knew they were more than _just_ the babies they appeared.
"I wonder…" I picked up the pump and set it to "age."2007-12-15T16:24:51Zhttp://ficlets.com/feed/story/13562Comment on The Miraculous One-Week Pregnancy<p>Weird, but cool!

<p>Remember, you can always contribute your own sequel if you’d like to try to affect how it goes. (Though don’t be offended if I continue with my own if I can’t use yours; I do have plans for where <em>this</em> story is going.) And that goes for any of my other stories, many of which are just as weird but most of which have never been followed up. It’s not as much fun doing it all on your own…</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/13562?basename=227202007-11-12T04:13:54ZThroat Wolfhttp://ficlets.com/authors/throatwolfComment on The Miraculous One-Week Pregnancy<p>that was a little.. werid.. but I’d like to see where it goes</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/13562?basename=227192007-11-12T04:11:56Z.:band baby:.http://ficlets.com/authors/bandbabyComment on The Miraculous One-Week Pregnancy<p>This is totally awesome, I absolutely love this sort of thing.</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/13562?basename=227172007-11-12T03:38:40ZFyora Cartaganhttp://ficlets.com/authors/fyoramacraggeComment on The Miraculous One-Week Pregnancy<p>sequel please!!!! this is a great, although very weird story, but i love it!!! great writing.</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/13562?basename=227152007-11-12T03:36:02ZSpring Chickenhttp://ficlets.com/authors/user_4470
