This was Aziza's second Thanksgiving in the universe she now called home. This time the new Sorceress Supreme, Jennifer Smith, was the host, and the spread was rather luxurious reflecting her wealth. The biggest difference though was that Aziza kept bumping into things, because she was four months pregnant.
Sorceresses don't get pregnant by accident. Aziza wanted to have a baby with Tom and Tom liked the idea, so she conceived. Part of it was just the feeling that it was time to move on to the next stage of her life, but more of it than she wanted to admit was irritation at Jennifer accusing her of having a "man's soul." Can a man do this, she said to herself.
Other guests included Mike and his new partner Bill Davis. Decades locked into the consciousness of a cartoon princess had permanently altered Bill's sexuality to the male side of things. He had been terrified when he first realized this, but was reassured that things for gays had improved in the decades he had been locked away. Mike and Bill, both "men out of time" shared a bond, although the downside was they needed a lot of help with computer stuff.
Martha the maid sat down and was waited on by everyone else (except Aziza, who was exempt on the grounds of pregnancy.) It felt good.
"Today" said Jennifer "I am thankful for being healed of my curse."
