Jacob resisted at first, but the moon god's magic was too powerful. His eyes felt heavy and he quickly drifted off to sleep. The whole experience had taken a lot out of the boy, causing him to sleep through the day. When he awoke the next night, he could clearly see that his belly had taken on a definite shape. Jacob ran a hand over the surface and choked at how soft, yet firm the shape was. Tecciztecatl was delighted and showered him with affection once more. Night after night, Jacob noticed that his stomach would grow significantly bigger. By the fifth night, he already looked nine months pregnant with one baby. His belly was big and round and full of life. A dark line marked his heavy underbelly. Even his bellybutton had been stretched flat until it was a wrinkle on the peak of his stomach.
Jacob poured himself over the books in the library. Finally, he found something about the phases of the moon. Hadn't Tecciztecatl said he was the god of the moon? While reading, the boy remembered how it had been a new moon on the night of his birthday. According to the text he read, his pregnancy would come full term by the full moon, and then give birth on the next new moon. "That's only 25 days away..." he murmured.
