"Then worry not. I do not require much and you do not have to do it now, when you get pregnant I want you to return and I will tell you of your exchange." She said, still having that devilish smirk.
Alice breathe in relief and also in fear of what her exchange might be."So what do I do to get pregnant?""Haha nothing much Alice. All you need to do is to make love to your husband tonight and the rest is done.""Really? That simple?""Yes or do you want something else?""Uhmm no that would not be necessary.""Then baby you shall have. And I do not need to warn you of the danger if you do not return to know your exchange.""Okay Goddess sofira. Thank you."Alice was fed with joy knowing that she will soon be called a mother. She imagines the joy in Thomas' face when she tells him that she is pregnant."Then if that is all I will like to take my leave." Alice said with a smile."Sure you are free. But before you leave I will like to see your friend Rebecca, and I will also like you both to stay just a little bit as lushly get someone to prepare some food for you both to eat. I know you must be hungry."Alice thought for a while before answering. " Okay I will stay and wait for the meal. Thank you." Alice said and turned to leave."Alice!!" The Goddess called.Alice turned back to look at her."Do not forget to return."Alice nodded and left the meeting room. As she was about to go to where she and Rebecca arranged to meet, she saw Rebecca standing and waiting for her close to the meeting room.She went straight to her with a smile on face, Rebecca returned the smile back."How did it go?" Rebecca asked as she stretched out her arms to hug Alice."It went well." She said, hugging her. "But she wants to see you. Is anything the problem?""No, it is fine. Wait for me here. I will go see her. I will be back shortly.""Okay Rebecca."Alice watched Rebecca walk with Ari back to the meeting room, Alice thought to herself 'what does the Goddess want with Rebecca? Hmm.'"this place is really beautiful." Alice said, looking at the decorations."Yes it is." Lushly answered behind Alice.Alice turned and saw lushly behind her and she smiled at her."Ohh lushly it is you.""Yes. The Goddess has ordered me to prepare some food for you and your friend before you leave. If you do not mind I will like to take you to where you will eat.""But I am waiting for Rebecca. She is with the Goddess. I told her I will wait out here for her.""Do not worry Ari will bring her to the eating room and she will join you there.""Okay if you say so.""Right this way." Lushly said, gesturing her towards a passageway."What is this place?" Alice said, pointing towards a room as she walks with lushly.""It is a room where we practice.""What do you practice?""Our powers""Powers? What powers?""Yes, our magic powers.""Magic powers do Such things really exist?" Alice said in surprise."Yes it does.""What ar......" Lushly cut her Short before she could ask any questions."Here is the eating room please go in, someone is inside to attend to you. And Rebecca will join you soon." Lushly said as she turned and left Alice alone with some maids in the room.Soon Rebecca joins Alice, after she is done talking to the Goddess. Alice was happy seeing Rebecca."Finally you are here I was starting to get bored. What was your meeting with Goddess about?" She asked as some maids brought food and placed it on the big table. Thank you." Alice said, looking up at the maid."Ohh that? Well she just wanted me to always remind you of coming back and she talked about lushly showing us a short way home, which I and lushly already talked about when requested to speak with me.""Ohh I see. I'm glad there is a short way out of here because I was scared that we would have to go all the way back to that scary looking place."Hahaha am sure you are." Rebecca replied with her mouth full of food."Uhm it tastes really good. wow. Wish I can prepare something like this for Thomas when I get back home. She said still eating."Of course you can, I will help.""Really? You know how to prepare a meal like this?""Yeah it is very simple. You see, my mom taught me how too."Wow, that is nice. Am sure she must be a good cook.""Yes she is." Rebecca replied to her with a smile."Let us eat up so we can get going. I can not wait to get home." Alice said, eating her food very fast."Slow down Alice. So you do not get food stuck in your throat.""Yeah I know. Umm sorry I am asking so many questions.Rebecca rolled her eyes. "What do you want to ask this time?""Hahaha sorry. You see, when I was walking with lushly I noticed a room so I decided to ask her about it and she said that is where they practice their magic powers and was surprised."Then you should know by now that they are not ordinary people."Yeah I do, I just wanted to tell you about it."Okay then." Rebecca replied as she rolled her eyes again.After eating, lushly escort the two to a gateway and soon they make their way out of the forest in no time."I cannot believe we are out of the forest. Am so glad." Alice said with joy on her face."Yeah me too. So let us go so we can prepare the meal we talked about.""Ohh. yeah. it is true." Alice said as they started walking."But first we need to go to the market to get something so we can prepare the meal.""Ohh no I do not have any money with me. How do we do that?"Hmm me too. Okay fine, fine let us go so you can get the money."Okay Rebecca."Alice got home and was extremely happy that her husband is not home yet."Hey Alice, is Thomas home yet?""Not at all. But I guess he should be close so we better hurry up to the market because if he comes back to meet me here he won't let me out of his sight.""Haha such a sweet love.""Haha I know right? Alright let us go, I have got the money.""Alright Alice."The two walk hand in hand to the market as people begin to know them as best
Alice was done washing the dishes so she went to the room to freshen up before joining Thomas on the bed. But Thomas was already waiting for her on the bed as he promised earlier, when he saw her walking inside, a lustful smile creeped on his lips like he had seen a bag of gold coins."I see you are done with the dishes?" He asked, staring at Alice with wanting eyes as he got up from the bed and walked close to her, hugging her from behind, placing his arms around her waist and locking his fingers together."Yes Mr Thomas, I am done with the dishes." "That is nice, so where were we?" He asked, as he whispered close to her ear and his hot breath fell upon her neck."Hahaha can I have a minute? I need to take my bath. I am all sweaty Thomas dear." She said, as she undressed herself."Then why don't we bath together? It will be so lovely, you know?" He asked, turning her to him. He cups her cheeks as he locks his lips with hers in a soft kiss.Alice kissed him back as she placed her arm
The next morning Alice and Thomas woke up as they lay on the bed, their bare bodies touching each other while Thomas hugged Alice from behind, he kisses her hair and a smile creeped on Alice's lips."Good morning Beautiful." Thomas greeted, with a smile on his face. Alice turned to look at her husband."Good morning handsome." Alice replied, placing a kiss on Thomas' lips."Hmm that feels nice."Thomas said, he smiled brightly."Haha, I know right? So tell me how are you feeling this morning?" Alice asked, placing her hands on his cheek staring into his eyes with a deep smile on her face."Hmmm I feel great. I miss this." "You miss what?" Alice asked, smiling."This. I mean, I miss us like this. Yes I know we sleep together every night on the same bed, but we have never been like this for the past five years. Like waking up cuddling with our bare bodies touch each other, it is been long Alice and I miss you. I miss us and am glad my Alice is back. I mean the happy Alice I got married t
Thomas still felt weird about all what Rebecca had said earlier but couldn't say a word in order not to hurt his wife feelings but he wasn't buying Rebecca's story at all."Rebecca, I am sorry for what is happening. I wish there's a way you would let me and my wife help you. But if ever you change your mind we are always here to help. Am sorry I must leave you two. I have to get to work. And please Rebecca take care of yourself." He said turning his back and was about to head to the room, when Alice called."But.. but.. Thomas, I haven't prepared your breakfast yet." Alice sounded worried that her husband was going to work in an empty stomach."It's fine. I will manage, but just try to cheer her up. She needs you. I will go get dress for work." He gives her a loving smile."Thank you Mr Thomas. I really appreciate what you and your wife are doing for me." Rebecca said, sounding grateful."It's fine." Thomas said, and went to the room to g
Seven Months Later.The sky was bright and beautiful as always. You could hear voices around and sounds of the singing birds and joyful laughter. You could also see some men and women sitting around the table laughing, eating and drinking."Ohhh, no, I am sorry so I spilled the drink on the table. Let me clean that up.""No, no do not worry I will do that myself.""No, I insist you know you're pregnant so don't stress yourself too much.""Okay thanks. There are some towers in the cabinet you can take one from there.""Okay, thank you.""It is really nice of you people having us in your house today and the food was delicious.""Thank you so much. It is also nice having you both here Mr Morgan and Mrs Helen.""Ohh Alice what is the secret of the meal you prepared? So I can also make it at home for my husband and children.""Haha that is where you made a mistake.""Why Mr Thomas?""Because my wife here has refused to tell me the secret of the meal and I have tried in so many ways to get i
Alice walked to Rebecca with the plate of food, Rebecca smiled seeing what Alice had prepared."You still remember how to make it." Rebecca tasted the food. "Hmm.""Is it good?" Alice asked, and she widened her eyes."Hmmm much better Alice." Rebecca replied, also giving her a thumbs up."Ohh thank Goodness." Alice exhaled touching her chest."So tell me what I have been doing since I left.""Well nothing much. The kingdom has been busy lately. I have been having alot of customers to deal with.""Hmm that is nice.""Rebecca." Alice called in a low tone. "Why didn't you send me later as we agreed before you left. Do you know how worried I have been?""Am sorry Alice. I had to be very careful over there.""I understand. So how have you been? I mean, are those men still after you?""No they are not. I have been very careful not to let them know where I live now.""Okay that is great. How long do you plan on staying here?""Just for today, I plan on leaving at sunset.""Wow that is fast I
"I do not need your likeness and I definitely do not need you or your stupid friendship. I also regret ever meeting you." She said harshly."Hmm. You better " Rebecca said with anger.Feeling void of emotions, she screamed. "Get out of my house!!" She exclaimed while pointing to the door.Rebecca smirked as she walked passed her. She leaned closer to her and Alice bend back slightly in bewildered state."See you in hell." She whispered before walking out.Alice was fazed for a while she snapped her head to the door and rushed to it as she looked outside to scream at Rebecca, but shockingly Rebecca was nowhere to be seen.This frightened her and she screamed in frustration."Ahhh....!" She screamed, pain piercing her stomach.She fell to the ground in pain."How could you Rebecca? How could you be like all of them? I thought you were different?" She spoke as stream of tears flow down her eyes. "You are just like all of them."Alice kept crying for a while until she finally fell asleep o
"Hmmm Thomas it hurts..ahhh... Thomas rub on my back, please the pain is much.""Okay, fine seat here. Wait, let me get someone to help us.""Thomas please be fast. I can't take it anymore, it hurts alot." "Am sorry my love." Thomas turned his gaze to someone walking towards Their way. "Sir sorry my wife is in pain and the physician can't assist us, please can you help me get her home so I can look for someone else to help her with the pain.""Sure, no problem, actually I have a carriage outside so you both can ride with me, it will be a lot faster that way.""Oh, Thank you so much sir." Thomas breathed in relief."You're welcome."Thomas took his wife home with the help of the gentleman but Alice was still battling with the pain she was feeling.They got home and Thomas sat her down.Alice's gaze went down her feet as her eyes widened in shock and she screamed in pain. "Thomas. Thomas waited. Thomas what is this? What is happening to me?" She added in fear."What is that? Oh my God.
