Stella gritted her teeth and said, “It doesn’t count! That must have been a fluke. Let’s do it again—whoever gets the babies to move first this time won’t have to pay for Aurora’s engagement party.”

Keegan smirked confidently, “Alright, who’s going first?”

“Me!” Stella set down the plate of strawberries, sat up straight, cleared her throat, and began, “My babies, I’m your mother. Do you want to hear a story?”

As soon as she spoke, her belly moved, though not as strongly as when Keegan had spoken earlier. It was a hesitant, light movement, but enough to make Stella excited. “Look! See that?”

Keegan’s confidence wavered, and with a frown, he said, “Are you mimicking my voice? Isn’t that cheating?”

Indeed, after clearing her throat, Stella had spoken in a voice that sounded just like Keegan’s.

Stella blinked innocently, “How is that cheating? You never said I had to use my own voice. I’m just using my strengths.”

Keegan frowned, “You’re taking shortcuts!”

Stella simply replied, “I won.”

Keegan protested, “You’re stealing the fruits of my labor.”

Stella repeated, “I won.”

Keegan gritted his teeth, “You also tricked them and made them experience the deceitfulness of human nature before they’re even born!”

Stella only smiled, “I won.”

Keegan was still resisting, “But I haven’t had my turn yet! I haven’t lost!”

Stella smirked, “Sweetheart, didn’t you listen to the rules? I said the first one to speak wins. It’s not about who shouts first. Since I’ve already spoken, it doesn’t matter if you shout now—you’ll never be first.”
