Yes—But There's A Side-Effect

Red lightning burst forth from Lois Lane's abdomen. The naked reporter's body arched on the bed, the reporter gasping for breath, mouth open in a silent scream. Zatanna threw up her arms, unable to block as one of the arcing lines passed straight through her abdomen.

The witch fell to her knees, grasping her stomach. Lois fell back to the bed, the strange explosion of magic over as soon as it began. The whole apartment seemed...quiet.

On the bed, Lois took stock of herself. Her body seemed fine...no burns or scars. Her pussy was wet and her nipples were hard, but otherwise she felt...fine. The pink of health. Even her headache was gone. Her mind replayed the events of the last hour. Frowned.

Was I really about to give my credit card to a skeezy internet pop-up selling breast enhancement pills? She shook her head...then looked over at Zatanna.

"Z!" She gasped. "What was that? Are you all right?"

"Re-reciprocal effect," the magician said with gritted teeth. Her top hat was on the floor, and she grabbed it as she staggered to her feet. "It happened when the curse was...discharged. Let me...check something."

Drawing herself up, arms shaking, Zatanna made a theatrical gesture with one gloved hand and intoned:

"ycnangrep tceteD"

Lois Lane stared down at her flat stomach...and perceived a small but perceptible glow. The reporter had always heard about a "maternal glow," but now she could actually perceive it, a kind of pearlescent light shining through the skin. She stared in awe at Zatanna...

An identical glow was lighting the sorceress' stomach from within.

The reporter sucked in her breath. "You're...!"

"Yeah," Zatanna let her hand drop. "We both are."

The magician licked her lips.

"This is as good a time as any to tell you...there's a chance that this doesn't lift the curse."

Lois blinked. "Explain." She said.

"You have your intelligence back now. But once you give birth...if the curse is still in play...you'll start getting dumber. Again." She laid a hand on her stomach. "Me too, maybe."

"Is there anything we can do?" Lois asked.

Zatanna set her jaw. "Short of magicking away the pregnancies and seeing what happens? I don't know."
