Chapter 3- Contentment- Kane.

"That… was wonderful," purred my wife Melissa. She snuggled up next to me, as we grew rather tried.

"Now you can't say I don't take you anywhere," I purred back to her.

"Mom… dad… please, we're trying to sleep!" protested Kratos. It was a family outing for the ages. A single realm was attack by bull men… and my family took them all out! And yes, even I got in on the action. I must admit though, it is rather funny to watch your meals squirm inside of your stomach… I rather enjoyed it… Damn, my boys do get it from me, and the girls! I was rather surprised to how Melissa was really into it! She ate them left right and center!

We were resting on silk blankets and bedding, pillows of fine blankets meant for a king. I felt spoiled! The realm ruler approached me. "Dragon… many I speak with you?" he asked.

I nodded and let my wife sleep, as I had to roll myself up… no easy task, I could hardly see my own two feet… then again… I couldn't! I over ate greatly! Eventually I made it over to the realm leader who was humble to me. "I… I cannot thank you enough, I feel horrible for lying to you… We don't have much to pay your family with…"

"Pay?" I asked. "You have given us a place to sleep and treat us like royalty, I call that payment"

The old man's eyes filled with tears as he shook one of my hands, he even kissed it before bowing. "Thank you, stay as long as you wish!" he said. That maybe a while, I think I made a new family record. Eight minoitaur and a cow… the cow was an accident, I was caught up in the heat of the moment of battle.

Ah the battle, I should go into that. My family and I had arrived after Khan spoke of a realm in great danger of the bull men. "There's at least twenty last I was told, they cannot survive another attack!" he told me.

I knew it had to be done; I was going to go alone to see what I could take out, yet Melissa caught my arm. "You're not having all the fun!" she said with a grin. My kids backed her on this as we went to the realm together. I worked with the leader and ordered vast amounts of King's gold… aka honey. We drank what we wanted and use the rest to our advantage.

When the minoitaur prepared to charge… the feast became an utter free for all! An all you can eat buffet, with no forks, plates or even cooking required! I was nervous at first until one creature came right at me. I grabbed it and just shoved it down my throat… it was rather cool! Then another came at me… and another… more and more they came the more I wanted to eat them! I didn't care if I got full or not… I just couldn't stop myself! Melissa, hell she gave me a run for my money! Doing the exact same and kept consuming minoitaur after minoitaur. My kids relished in their meals, I kept going when I accidentally ate that cow… I didn't realize it was until I heard an odd mooing coming from my stomach in mid feasting.

When it was all said and done, not a minoitaur stood. And no one in my family was going to sleep on an empty stomach. We had just enough strength to get back to the ruler's castle; we flopped on the ground, only to awaken in a room of silk and lavishing items.

I waddled myself back to my wife, and slide into her arms once again. She purred contently again. "You didn't you tell me this was so much fun?" she asked as she stared at my full stomach.

"I don't know, I never really gave it a shot either…" My stomach started to move about, the low rumbling in my bowels made Melissa giggle aloud. She began to poke me to see if the beasts would try and fight back, much to her amusement some found the room to do so.

"Oh this is too rich" she drummed on my belly hard and shook it. My stomach moaned, gargled every sound a gut makes was heard loudly… then them screamed… muffled at first until they grew louder and louder. I think I need to eat more honey. I noticed when Mel sat up… she looked different, much different. She didn't appear full like the girls. As her scales glowed oddly to me.

"Is there something you aren't telling me?" I asked of her curiously.

She looked startled. "No… why?"

"You just look different, still beautiful. But different" I explained.

She lay back on me as her hands came over my stomach; she caressed my scales and smiled. "Nice save" she grinned as we giggled about my comment. "So… this is our new family business huh?" she asked.

"You like?"

"If it saves on groceries"

"I'll take that as a yes then…" I laughed. I was given more honey to drink that allowed my stomach to settle some but still shifted about. Melissa found me very playful, as I had grown softer in the belly; a dragon's work is never done!

We were able to leave in three days time; our meals had worked off… well… most of it. I was still rather large for some reason. We made it home as the guys questioned about my score. "What did you get? Gold? Diamonds?" asked Punk.

"Nothing" Melissa said. "Just a nice, family meal. And sleeping like royalty" she announced before walking away.

Taker looked me over oddly. "You forgetting how we get ride of the spare Kane?" he asked as his hand smacked my stomach.

I did look kind of big. "I did the focused healing… but… this is all it did… I still got kinks to work out, but it's not working for me!" I whispered back. "I don't know what's wrong"

"You ought to lay off the pigs," he said. "Until you know for certain"

However my stomach rumbled lowly… I had fully digest that large meal… I couldn't be hungry again could I? "You ok Kane?" Matt asked.

"Fine… I'm fine… I hope" he muttered the last part to myself lowly.
