Sunshine poured into their bedroom the following morning. Their bodies had returned to their normal shapes, with Chris wearing Lauren's zebra body and Lauren still in the form of a male ram. Lauren leaned over to reach for his lover's body to find she had already left. "Baby?" Lauren sat up in the bed, surprised to be alone. He stood and got dressed, before hearing some sound from the adjoining bathroom.

"Chris? You in there?" Lauren gently opened the door to find his lover on the floor on her knees.

"I'm here..." Her voice shook, her hands trembling.

Lauren got down on his own knees and looked into her eyes. "What's wrong, baby?"

Chris moved her right hand, revealing a pregnancy test with a positive result. "I'm... I'm pregnant. I mean, this body is pregnant."

"We're pregnant, you mean." Lauren touched the sides of her face and kissed her. "It's okay, sweetie. We're going to be okay. I'll be here, the whole time."

"I don't have a lot of experience being pregnant," Chris admitted.

"Neither do I. We'll learn together." Lauren touched noses with his lover, who returned his smile.
