(intro by Faykate)
Pam blinked rapidly, amazed that the curse must be real - every lie she told suddenly became the truth!
"I... uh... I mean, thank you, officer, I'll follow you there." Pam shifted uncomfortably as another contraction wracked her body. She was ACTUALLY in labor! And pregnant! What was she going to do?
The cop went back to his car quickly, turning on his lights and sirens before pulling out into the road. Pam had no choice but to follow him as he lead her away from home and towards the local hospital. As they arrived, a team ran out the emergency room door with a wheelchair, pulling her door open and helping her to heave her new bulk up and out before gently settling her into the chair.
Pam was still in a slight state of shock "I don't know how this is possible! I can't have a baby!"
She felt a weird rush, and a tingle in her crotch.
The contractions subsided.
Huffing through the sweat she didn't understand. The pain was leaving?
"Oh uh..." she was guided to a wheelchair "I think it's a false alarm officer. I'm not giving birth today."
--
Well it had gotten her out of her ticket.
But now she was stuck at the hospital being pushed to do paperwork.
She didn't want to be stuck with a bill on this. But how could she fake a name or address if everything became true.
She was still ... pregnant?
Sitting in a wheelchair in the maternity ward, she moved her clipboard to raise her shirt and look at her belly.
It was real...
It was real skin and bulge.
"I'm not pregnant." she whispered. Nothing happened. Maybe she had to be lying to someone directly.
As she was led to a room to get an ultrasound and checked out she thought maybe this would be her time.
As she was guided into stirrups.
"Um nurse. I think there's been a misunderstanding. I'm not pregnant."
"I'll be the judge of that" said the nurse putting her gloves on.
As she checked 'under the hood'.
"The hell...-" the nurse looked confused pulling Pam's legs apart more. "Ma'am... did you ever undergo... some sort of surgery. Maybe when you were young?"
"What?"
"It looks like your vagina is completely closed up. I've never seen anything like it. I have some pamphlets on FGM."
Pam sat up with eyes wide in a panic. "What! Of course I have a vagina!"
Oh god, when she said 'she couldn't have a baby' is that what happened??
"Oh! I'm so sorry ma'am you're right. How could I miss that."
The tingle returned and she felt her flesh parting and returning to normal.
Pam shivered. Could she control her body like that? Her heart was pounding.
Then how was she still pregnant?
The ultrasound revealed the cause of that.
As the nurse looked through her machine no fetus appeared on the screen.
But Pam was still pregnant bellied.
"Wow I'm so sorry. But you may be undergoing something called a hysterical pregnancy"
Woah. So her lies came true too. But her body still appeared as a pregnant woman's. How could she fix that?
So far she'd said she "couldn'"t be pregnant. That almost had horrible consequences.
She said she wasn't giving birth today. Did that cancel out any actual babies?
What kind of curse would allow a baby to occur.
Was that old woman really a witch? Was magic real??
Pam needed to get out of here.
"Now I've never actually seen a hysterical pregnancy in my time here. But it is possible..." the nurse continued checking more thoroughly for any babies.
Not thinking she responded to the nurse.
