They arrive at the local Pharmacy

The group headed to the local pharmacy, purposefully ignoring the awkwardness of the earlier incident. Inside, they grabbed a dozen pregnancy tests and a pile of snacks. At the counter, Seth’s attention immediately shifted to the cute cashier. Despite his persistent arousal, a wave of intense lust hit him, making his erection even more uncomfortable. His balls swelled, and the tightness in his pants became almost unbearable.

The cashier raised an eyebrow as she scanned the pregnancy tests, giving Seth an appraising look, her gaze flicking over him and the girls. He couldn’t tear his eyes away, fighting the urge to do something rash.

An elbow jabbed into his ribs, jolting him back to reality. He blushed, quickly paid for the items, and grabbed the bags, trying to shake off the tension. The girls giggled at some joke the cashier made, but Seth barely registered it, his focus still on controlling himself as he hurried out of the store.

“What the hell happened in there?” Mia asked, once they were out on the sidewalk and heading back to Seth's place.

"I... I don't know, something came over me, and all I could think about was... Well, let's just say I think what I was told about the serum is true," Seth replied through deep breaths.

The group exchanged looks, shrugging in silent agreement. Whatever was going on, it was something they couldn’t easily explain. The rest of the walk to Seth’s was quiet, each of them lost in their thoughts, the weight of their strange situation settling in. Seth unlocked the door and they filed inside, dropping the bags on the kitchen counter.

"Well, I guess this is it," Seth said, holding up the box of pregnancy tests. "Do you guys wanna take them here or at your own place?"

Mia glanced at the others and shrugged. "Here is fine," she said. Claire and Dakota exchanged uneasy looks but nodded in unison.

"All right, so who's first?" Seth asked, tearing the box open with a flourish, scattering wrappers onto the coffee table.

Mia sighed, running a hand through her hair. "I guess I'll go," She grabbed two tests and a bottle of water, her hands trembling slightly as she headed toward the bathroom.

The rest of the group sat in tense silence. Seth fidgeted with an empty test wrapper, Dakota tapped her foot anxiously, and Claire chewed on her thumbnail. Mia returned a few minutes later, her face pale. She stood in the doorway, holding the two sticks like they might explode.

"Well?" Seth asked, leaning forward on the couch.
