Dragon's curse

chapter ninety five

It is strange to have babies growing in your stomach when I look like I am eight months pregnant and it has only been one day. I can't help but  hope everything will turn alright at the end

The next day, Ash slowly woke up from her sleep as she slowly rubbed her stomach lightly and realized that her stomach felt hard for some reason.

Ash instantly yelled with panic in her voice as she sat up in her bed, “Gray! Gray!”

In seconds, Gray ran into Ash’s room and asked “I don’t know, my stomach feels hard for some reason, I know you are a doctor so is there something wrong with me?”

Gray smiled as he sat next to Ash and asked as he looked at Ash’s stomach that was covered by her pajama shirt that was curved in what looked to be candles, “Can I see?”

Ash asked in surprise “You want me to lift my shirt and show you my stomach?”

Gray sighed as he replied, “I can go get someone else if you want but I do need to get a close look at your stomach.”

Ash sighed as she slowly lifted her pajama shirt up over her stomach and in an instant Gray noticed that Ash’s belly button was sticking out. Gray couldn’t help but smile at the sight with a hint of joy in his eyes.

Ash asked, “Why are you smiling?”

“Oh it's nothing, now is it alright if I touch your stomach to see what is going on?” Jaff replied slowly.

Ash breathed in slow shallow breaths as she said “Yes, you can do that.”

Gray watched as Ash exhaled and he slowly cupped his hands around her stomach while closing his eyes. He instantly noticed that Ash’s stomach felt hard, almost like a rock and he slowly listened carefully as Ash inhaled slowly. Once she exhaled, Jaff removed his hands from Ash’s stomach and Ash could not help but stare intensely.

Gray sighed dramatically as he said in a low voice, “Ash I am so sorry, you are going to be just fine.”

Ash scowled as she said “My god Gray, you scared me when you started the sentence like that. So if nothing is wrong then what is going on with my stomach?”

Jaff smiled as he said “Well, this does not happen a lot but due to the excessive growth in one day, your abdominal muscles stretched as well. This usually happens… mmm… in between seven to eight weeks but I think it is different for you since you used three spells and you look like you are about eight months pregnant, give or take a day or two off.”

Ash asked with a hint of concern in her voice, “Is this normal?”

“Yes, this is normal, It will only last inbetween thirty to sixty seconds but they can last up to two minutes at times.” Gray said with a smile as he watched Ash covered her stomach with her pajama shirt.

Ash said as the anxiety left her voice slowly, “Thanks Gray, I needed that.”

“No problem Ash, I am happy to help.” Gray said as he got up from the bed and walked over to the door, he quickly turned to Ash once he reached the door, Gray asked “Do you want or need anything before I leave?”

Ash replied, “No but thanks for asking.”

Gray asked in concern “Would you be mad at me if I asked you to stay in bed?”

Ash sighed as she replied, “Alright.”

Suddenly, there was a sudden pang feeling in Ash’s stomach as she heard her own stomach growl loudly and she quickly grabbed her stomach lightly.

Gray quickly ran over to Ash and asked once he was standing next to Ash with concern “What's wrong Ash?”

“I think I just felt one or both of the baby's kicks.” Ash said as she noticed that her stomach moved for a second like water.

Jaff smiled as he came into the room and said “I have good news.”

Ash asked in confusion “Your stomach won't grow like it did yesterday. We only have to wait one more week and then you and I will have our children.”

Ash breathed a sigh of relief as she said while moving her index finger as if to tell him to come here, “Came here Jaff.”

Jaff came over to the other side of the bed and sat next to her. Ash quickly grabbed Jaffs hand and placed his hand onto her stomach, she then grabbed Gray's hand with a bright smile as she placed his hand onto the other side of her stomach. In an instant they felt what seemed to be three kicks simultaneously for a brief moment and quickly stopped as soon as it started.

Ash asked Jaff, “Would you be jealous or mad in any way if I said I wanted Gray to be my doctor?”

Jaff instantly replied, “No, of course not. I have no problems with that Ash.” He quickly looked over at Gray and asked “Do you have a problem with that because if you do decide to be Ash’s doctor then you will have to help her deliver?”

There was a long moment of silence before Gray replied “I understand I have no problem with that as long as she is alright with it.”

Ash smiled as she said, “I have no problem with that at all.”
