Together At Last (Part 1: Realising What's Inside)

KRAKAKOOMMMMM

“Megumin!”

“J-just o-one more time…” She lewdly panted against the floor, “One more eplosn… oo make it feel soo fuckn gud, Darkness…”

I sighed at her, I thought we were bonding well, but she let loose her magic only barely missing me and just aiming straight up to the air. Thankfully it hit no trees, as I didn’t really want to be dealing with a forest fire right now. Still, it felt a little disheartening, “I’m happy you’re happy, but I hope you’re not just looking at me as an Explosion generator here…”

“What? No way!” She exclaimed, rolling around her head to look at me with a serious face, “Darkness. I, uh, I didn’t really expect it but… this is kinda fun, actually. Like, REALLY fun! I’m feeling really good here!”

With a smile I accepted her feelings, moving some hair away from her face as she couldn’t, “That’s good. And, I’ll still help you orgasm whenever you want…” A hunger rose in her eyes and she puckered her lips, as tempting as it was to kiss her I placed a finger on them instead, “ after we go settle things with Kazuma, okay?”

She grimaced at me, clearly not a huge fan of the idea.

“That way, if it doesn’t go well, you can still let out all your frustrations with one last Explosion. Yeah?”

After a few seconds of internal deliberations, Megumin relented to my logic. “...yeah, okay. That sounds like the best plan…” She admitted, though her eyes lit up again, “Wait, you could still give me a reserve Explosion if you make me orgasm beforehand!”

“No.”

“What?! Do you not trust me to hold my expl-”

“Of course I don’t.” I replied, the quiet hum of her previous explosion still ringing in both of our ears.

“...just pick me up already.”

I nodded, beginning to reach over the fallen wizard. Ready to pick her up and take her all the way… all the way to…

Woah…

The world’s… sp-spinning…?

S-So dizzy…

My hands missed Megumin entirely to stumble towards a random tree, grabbing it for support… but the world won’t…

And then I keeled over and threw up.

“Woah! You, uh, you alright back there, Darkness?!”

I didn’t know how to answer that. Is this what being sick was like? Maybe I wasn’t missing out on much after all.

Vomiting… that was definitely cause for concern. I’ve never been like this before venturing into Heaven. Was there a “Heavenly Sickness” that intruding mortals could contract? Truth is often stranger than fiction, and that did sound like a deterrent the gods would use to keep the living out.

“I’m fine, Megumin. Just… just feeling d-dizzy…”

I couldn’t see her but could sense the concern in her voice, “Since when?”

“Yesterday… it’s not very often, I-I think I’m alright now.” I admitted, moving away from my mess and wiping my face next to Megumin, “Maybe Aqua can heal whatever is aili-

“Random bouts of dizziness? Vomiting? Yeah, okay, way to rub it in, jerk. When were you going to tell me?”

I blinked in confusion, turning my head back over my shoulder to the Megumin I’d left by a tree. She looked frustrated, and blushing just a little, though I had no idea as to why.

“H-Huh?”

Her frown deepened, “Come on, I’m not an idiot, Darkness.” I clearly was, still looking at her blankly, “I’m old enough to remember my mom with Komekko and all the morning sickness she had when she was pregnant…”

…

…………..

………………………………….

“...I-I’m pregnant?”

“W-wait! Why are you crying?! Did you seriously not know?!”

“Imprgnnt? Babey? Baby i’ me?”

“I’m not a doctor, but I mean, probably? Yeah? My mom said morning sickness can happen as early as the first week, since that’s how it was for her…” Panic in her voice stopped abruptly as Megumin realised the timeline and lowered her eyelids, “You two didn’t waste any fucking time at all when I left, did you?”

The tears just would not stop pouring out of me.

All this time. All this talk about impregnating the town, about growing new children for the human race, I don’t think it ever really clicked that I too… would have life inside of me.

A baby.

Me and Kazuma’s child. Someone to love, cherish, and watch grow.

I know I’m stupid for not thinking about it sooner. Maybe I’m the stupidest girl ever (and I probably am for being a muscle-brained horndog). But I was just too happy right now to care, I seriously could not stop crying. A baby. My baby. I…

“Darkness, I still can’t really move my arms and legs much, so could you be a dear and get over here so I can hug you already? OOF!” Megumin loudly exhaled as I practically tackled her against the tree, “Ack! L-l-little l-less tight! Kwah~! Hahhh. Okay, now, there-there. Just let it all out, ya big dummy.”

After a few minutes of happy tears, I had a new feeling I had to get out. One that Megumin really wasn’t going to like, but it couldn’t be contained any longer.

“Wait, what are you doIIINNNNGGG!!!!”

“I’m pregnant!” I exclaimed after throwing her ten feet up into the air, “Megumin, I’m pregnant!”

“NEVER throw me again! EVER! Do you hear MMMEEEEEE!!!!!!”

Once more she landed heavily in my arms, looking even angrier than when I’d thrown her.

“Stop it! I don’t trust your shitty aim to catch me! Go throw Kazuma, if you love him so much!”

“You’re right! I have to share this wonderful news with him!” Quickly, I took off towards the illuminated village before any more complaints could be filed. My feet thundering across the woods while the fireworks continued to rain the skies above us.

-

“Where the fuck are they?” Kazuma asked, scouring the forest for any signs of battle between the two girls. So many explosions had occurred over the years in this place near Megumin’s village, it was hard to know what was fresh in the dark. So many scars, and no signs of the little wizard who made them, “Come on, come on, where are you Darkness!? Megumin!?”

“My Darkness is really tough, Kazuma. She’s going to be fine~”

“Oh yeah? Well what if she isn’t?” He snapped back, growing frustrated with Aqua’s lack of urgency.

She took a beat, gave it a thought, then realised the truth in his words. Tears began to bubble in her eyes’ edges, “I don’t want her to be hurt! Kazuma! Where’s Darkness?!” She whined, grabbing at his naked body for support.

“I’m trying to figure that out! So help!”

“DARKNESS! DARKNETHHHH!!” The Goddess slobbered and whined. Kazuma instantly missed her cavalier attitude that wasn’t screaming in her ear.

“DARKNESS! MEGUMIN!” He called out, “DARK-OOPH!”

And then Kazuma was tackled to the ground by an unknown yet familiar source.

“OW! WHO THE FU-?!”

“KAZUMA! I’M PREGNANT!”

“D-Darkness?! That hurt, you freaking lump of a crusader! I-I… what did you say?”

“Pregnant! Me! Baby!”

There was a chance that news hit him harder than his girlfriend just had. His eyes went wide in shock while his mouth flapped about without words able to come out. “Holy shit… it’s all real…” Whispsers under his breath, Darkness wasn’t sure if she was supposed to hear them or not, but was appreciating his cute surprise nonetheless. “It’s… it’s definitely mine…?”

She was almost hurt he’d ask her, but Darkness’ smile couldn’t fade for any reason right now, “You’re my one and only, Kazuma.”

“Pregnant… I’m-I’m gonna be an actual dad?!” He said, a level of genuine excitmenet mixed in with his fear of the future.

“You are, a-and I’m g-gonna be a mom!” Just the word and his face brought all her tears right back up to the surface, and Darkness quickly latched onto him for a passionate ground kiss while he stroked her hair.

Almost in an instant, they were lost in each other’s love. Tightly packing in their bodies together, refusing to move, bar the gentle sway of their shared breathing. An endless warmth, the nest where her egg would grow.

–POV SHIFT: Back to Darkness–

Worried the tears were bringing the wrong impression, I quickly clarified, “I’m just so happy I get to carry your child, Kazuma.”

“You may be regretting that when you see how bad a dad I could be.”

With how nicely he treated Iris, I didn’t believe it for a second, “Shush. You’ll be amazing.”

“Hehe. Well, as scary as parenthood sounds, I’m definitely happy I get to have a baby with you too, Lalatina.” A few more peppered kisses while we just kept our bodies close together, “A dad. Wow. Is it dumb of me that it only just clicked that we’re gonna be parents?” He asked, making me laugh a little at the irony.

“Yes.” Said Megumin, who had been picked up by Aqua and brought over to us, the two of us getting up off the dark leafy floor, “You’re both morons. Haven’t you made most of Axel pregnant by now or something?”

Our shared girlfriend ignored the jab, instead just crying onto Megumin’s shoulder as she held her like a cat, “Darknessss! I’m so happy you’re not deaaaddd!” Aqua cried, confusing me quite a lot.

“Uh…me too?” I asked while looking at Kazuma rolling his eyes, “In fact, I’m carrying life now…”

“GASP! PREGGERS!” She exclaimed, tightening her hug on the annoyed Megumin, “I love babies! They’re so cute! Did you know, Megumin?!”

“I’m the one who told her.”

Excitement was leaking too quickly out of the blue-haired girl to care, “Are you going to name it after me?”

“Woah, woah, WOAH! We’re not jumping that far ahead straight away! Nor are we calling it ‘Useless Goddess II’!” replied Kazuma as I climbed off of him and we both stood up.

“Aww, but aren’t I your favourite?” She pouted briefly before putting Megumin down, thankfully having enough mana to stand by herself now. My girlfriend then knelt down in front of me, speaking right to my womb. “Oh well, don’t you worry in there, little one. Auntie Aqua will make sure you’re full of Godly power with plenty of Goddess kisses, just like Emperor Zell! Then they’ll have to name you after me!” The blue-haired girl giggled at my lower belly, quickly applying a few of said smooches to me.

“You know, Aqua, we both had sex with Kazuma on the same night.” My hand swept through her lovely hair, “There’s a chance we’re both pregnant right now.”

“Wait, really?!” She gasped while jumping up to my face, making Megumin roll her eyes once more, “I have a baby too?! Are they gonna come out on the same day then?!”

That was a nice thought, but before I could answer it she’d already flipped up her skirt to examine her pussy, “How can you tell if you’re pregnant?! It doesn’t feel any different down there…”

“I got morning sickness the last few days, but I didn’t realise what it was until Megumin pointed it out to me.”

“The youngest here, by the way!” She quickly pointed out.

“Crap! Goddesses don't get morning sickness!”

Kazuma lowered his eyes, “This isn’t like your ‘Goddesses don’t pee’ lie, is it?”

“No! I-I don’t even think we can throw up!”

We all lowered our eyes at that one. She’d spilt rainbows on all of our shoes too many times for it not to be a blatant lie.

“U-Unless of course I have a bit of bubbly… hehe…”

“It’s not like morning sickness is a universal trait of having a baby,” Megumin shrugged, “The main thing you have to wait for is a missed period.”

Aqua was probably going to whine about not having that either, so I decided just to fix this problem the easy way. “Aqua, despite Megumin’s strangely encyclopaedic knowledge, I still consider you the closest thing to a regular doctor in my life.”

“Now that’s a scary thought…” Commented Kazuma.

“So, isn’t it normal that you’d have a skill for detecting pregnancies?”

Her eyes lit up like I’d just told her we had cake at home, “Oh yeah! You’re right! Lemme activate it real quick!”

I had no idea what form this new skill would take, I’d never really been privy to the medical magic that some clerics and priests used. But our Arch Priest got into a very “healer-looking” stance, palms flat with arms stretched out and eyes closed, while a thin white glow overtook her.

And then two small black lines appeared on her forehead.

“Did it work?” She asked once the glow dissipated, quickly looking at us all expectantly, “What does it say?!”

“Uhh, two black lines?”

“GAAASSSSSP” The Goddess’ jaw jumped open before she then jumped herself into her lover’s arms, “Kazuma! We did it! We’re gonna have a baby deity together!”

“Fuck me, I really should’ve been better mentally prepared for this.” He said while struggling to hold her. I felt just as happy for her as I did for my own, and I couldn’t resist joining the impromptu hug with my two favourite people in the whole world.

Though it did leave my other favourite person a little left out still.

“All these big, life-changing announcements makes my realisation feel stupid as hell.”

The titty trapped Kazuma tilted his head at her, “Hm? And what revelation has our explosion girl received?”

“Grr…” The little wizard grit her teeth in embarrassed frustration and started scratching the back of her head, “Look… maybe I was wrmhm….”

“Wuzzat?”

“Maybe I was wrnghrsmsmfl…” Her voice kept trailing off before any important dialogue could be uttered.

“Didn’t quite catch that. One more time?”

Stamping her foot, she bit the magic missile, “Maybe I was wrong about you and the Explosions thing, alright?!”

“...seriously?”

Her anger dissipated quickly as awkwardly pulling her shirt took emotional precedence, “Mm… look, Darkness helped me realise what the problem really was. And it was only kinda your fault.” I could tell even that was about to set him off, so I quickly placed my hand on his shoulder and raised a finger to my lips. Megumin wanted to say this without his usual commentary, riling her up. “I’m… sorry. I shouldn’t have lashed out, not at Kazuma, not at any of you.”

He took a beat, but I knew when his heart was touched. Kazuma isn’t someone to be cruel for the sake of being cruel. “Oh, I see. Apology accepted then. And I’m sorry for probably being more of a jerk than I should’ve been at times, too. You know me, never really been ‘one with my emotions’ and crap.”

There was a single nod from her, and a silent resolute breath that seemed to be shared by everyone. Having that moment felt very cathartic.

“Soooo… can I ask what was making your Explosions weird then? You said Darkness helped you figure it out?”

“Urk!” She froze up, feeling rather embarrassed again, and looking at me for what I can only guess was the strength to admit the truth, “...you know what? Fuck it. We’re in the middle of the woods, I was horny! The glory of Archwizard Megumin’s fantastic Explosions affects my body so intensely that they make me orgasm! Every time I took down a monster or blew up a Demon General, I was secretly cumming from the sheer power of my magic! There, I said it!”

“Puhu~”

Her yelling and powerful posing were completely undone by Kazuma stifling a laugh.

“Oi, give me five minutes with Darkness and you won’t be laughing anymore...”

“No, no! Snrk! I’m only giggling because…that’s fuckin’ awesome!” He barely got out, “Y-You blew up the Mobile Fortress Destroyer, half of the Demon King’s generals - one of whom was a literal Dark God… all while creaming your pants! HahAH! I was RAHA-RATING your fuhf-orgasms EVERY FUCKING DAY! HAHAHAHAHA!”

Kazuma burst into laughter in the middle of the dark forest. Aqua had joined in fairly quickly at the mention of Wolbach’s failure. I’ll be honest, I had to stifle a smirk myself, looking away lest Megumin glare at me too. Although she seemed to take it pretty well. She wasn’t laughing, but she could clearly see the humour in it. Letting the mocking laughs wash over her with a defeated shrug in my general direction. “He could at least shut up about my old mentor.”
