Born Again
By CassiSquish
 
Alicia looked up at the sign outside the tall building's door, scanning for her destination. She knew it was here; she'd recited the route and location to herself a thousand times prior. How could she not? Wasn't like she had much else to live for. Eventually, she found the buzzer for the third floor, labeled "Born Again Genetics and Research". She reached out and pushed the buzzer for a second or two, and waited until the speaker above it fizzed and a woman's voice- smooth and sultry, even through the piezo speaker- came through.
 
"Born Aga-mmm..." Alicia raised an eyebrow at the voice. Was that a moan? "Ahem. Born Again Industries, Doctor Knight speaking. How can I help you?"
 
Alicia caught her breath. This seemed like the point of no return. Or at least no returning in the body she knew, at least. It took a second for her voice to come, and it was tremulous.
 
"I-I'm Alicia Ashwright? Here for a 9:45 appointment?" She was early- it was roughly 9:15- but the buses were kind to her (for the first time ever) and she was just so eager to get this over with that she couldn't stop herself from buzzing.
 
"Ah! Miss Ashwright. Yes, I see you're a little- ah!- early. That's no problem, though. If anything it means you could... oooh... get a small preview of what you're in for." The voice was itself stuttery, but for what Alicia guessed was an entirely different reason. "OK, honey, I'm not quite in any fit state to come down to meet you, so I'll open the door from here. Come up the stairs, third floor, door's on the left. I'll see you just inside!" The intercom fizzled as it cut off.
 
Alicia stood there for a moment, before turning and opening the door and climbing the stairs slowly, thinking to herself- with a tinge of jealousy- that at least somebody was having fun with their life.
 
-----------------
 
Whatever Alicia expected to see when she opened the front door of Born Again's lab, it most certainly wasn't what she actually saw.
 
A woman stood before her. The sight of her body almost defied belief; her hair was a pitch black, but for the ends, which glowed a multitude of colours. Her eyes were the same; the sclera dark as night, the irises glowing, rainbow stars that held, despite their alien look, a feeling of absolute warmth and kindness.
 
Oh, and she was naked, not that Alicia really noticed at first; her body was that of a Greek goddess, her shoulders, arms and legs being well toned muscle. Her breasts were large- easily DD, perhaps E- but showed hardly any sag, being perky and full, managing to simultaneously appear soft and yet as unrelenting mountains. Her nipples were erect, betraying the arousal she felt, and seemed to be leaking breast milk. Her skin was pale, not quite alabaster, but close.
 
All this paled in comparison, however, to her belly. Alicia would have said that this woman was pregnant, but for the size. Her belly was easily three times the size of a normal full term pregnancy, inexplicably free of stretch marks, and wasn't quite evenly round; in fact, Alicia could have sworn that her belly looked like it contained a person, of roughly early teen age. Every so often, the belly twitched, the woman moaned, and the shape became slightly clearer for a moment before settling down again. She heard a sloshing noise every time the twitch occurred, and Alicia noticed that there was fluid running down the woman's legs from what was presumably her vagina, pooling about her feet.
 
The woman moved as if she didn't have a belly the size of half the room, and waddled over to Alicia holding out a hand in greeting.
"Hello there!" the woman said in a friendly tone, shaking Alicia's hand. "I'm Doctor Artemis Knight. I'll be going through the procedure with you. As I said, you're quite early, but that's fine; we'll go through some of the paperwork first while I wait for the previous patient to regress." She motioned to a desk nearby, and she sat behind it with a squelch, moaning as her... passenger?... kicked in protest at the movement.
 
Alicia sat on the other side, and began to go through some paperwork with Dr. Knight.
 
-----------------
 
As they went through the paperwork, Alicia watched the doctor's body. She could swear that her belly was shrinking; slowly, but still faster than she thought biology should work... but then, given she had been watching a very pregnant woman become very much less so over the past half hour, she was going to leave the explaining to the professional, who turned to her with a serious expression.
 
"Well, that's the boring stuff over with," said Dr. Knight. By this time her belly, formerly massively gravid, had shrunken to just shy of full term, and was still going. "Now, before we go any further, I just want to make quite sure that you know what you're getting into."
 
"I know." Alicia said, her voice hollow. "It was made quite clear that there was no going back. Not that I want to, anyway. There's nothing left for me now, not since-" Alicia choked up slightly, tears springing to her eyes. "Not since the accident."
 
Dr. Knight nodded. She'd read the report as part of the prelim checks. 24 years old, Alicia was the only survivor of a terrible car crash; her entire family had been killed, with her as the only survivor. Psych reports afterward indicated a strong survivor's guilt and suicidal ideations, but no attempts made. She'd spent what money she'd gotten from her inheritance on various things to try and dull the pain, but in the end what was left had gone to pay for this appointment.
 
Dr. Knight placed a hand on Alicia's shoulder, a comforting gesture. "You're quite sure this is your choice? You're right- in this procedure, there's no going back after a certain point." The naked doctor wiped a couple of tears from Alicia's face with her pale hands. "I won't judge your motivations. But I want you to be certain."
 
Alicia nodded, almost without thinking. This was her fate, and while she didn't know exactly what this procedure entailed, she knew it would remove her from the world painlessly, and that is all she really wanted now.
 
Dr. Knight pulled back and smiled a pleasant smile. It radiated a warmth that made Alicia feel far more at ease that she had in a long time, and reinforced her belief that this was a good decision. "Well then, we'll begin in a short while."
 
--------------
 
The doctor rubbed at her belly. By now it had shrunk to almost flat, though there was a decent sized bulge that seemed bigger than it should be at this stage. She turned to her patient.
"Generally, the procedure is easier if you're undressed, but if you so wish you can go on clothed. Any particular preference?", Artemis asked Alicia.
 
Alicia didn't reply, but began to disrobe, making her choice wordlessly. Artemis smiled. "Thank you, dear, that makes it easier on both of us. Once you're done, let me know, ok? Just have to take care of something first; my previous patient took the other option..."
 
Artemis grabbed a few things from drawers lining the side of the room; a beaker and a large plastic tray among them. This part always tickled, she thought with an inward giggle.
 
She held the beaker underneath her vulva and pressed upon the bulge in her abdomen, contracting her uterus, squeezing its liquid contents out through her open cervix and her birth canal. A thick, white gel poured from her sex in a stream, filling the beaker mostly full. Artemis held it up to her face.
"Hello there, Tina? I know you can't reply, but don't worry, you're just outside me for a short while while I reconfigure your new home a bit. Don't worry, semen stays viable outside the body for about twenty minutes so you'll be back in there well before any danger." She noticed Alicia, half naked, staring at her with a nonplussed expression and giggled. "I'll explain later."
 
Putting the beaker of what was apparently Tina aside, Artemis next grabbed the tray and squatted over it, aiming her vulva dead center. She rubbed her clit and contracted her uterus again, biting her lip as its main contents were expelled; bigger this time, it stretched her cervix and birth canal as they passed through. Eventually, with a splash and a yelp, Artemis came, expelling into the tray a set of clothes; a rather nice looking camisole, a pair of black leggings, a small bra, panties and socks. All soaked with Artemis's uterine fluids, what semen she didn't squeeze out, and her own cum that she sprayed into the tray right after. Finally, she passed also into the tray what looked like a fleshy red blob- the endometrium, engorged after the meal that was her previous patient. Artemis steadied herself, panting, and rubbed at her clit some more. Her belly was now entirely empty, revealing a set of abs that one could grind meat on.
 
Artemis stood, slightly sweaty from the exertion, and picked up the Tina beaker again. She sat on the desk chair with her ass forward, her crotch pointed slightly toward the ceiling, and used her left hand to part her pussy lips, gaping slightly her vaginal opening. Her other hand moved the Tina beaker to it, and as quickly as possible she poured the pearly gel like fluid back into her. She felt it flow all the way to her cervix, and used her well developed kegels to push as much of it into her hungry uterus as possible. Tina would be back soon (she did pay for the quick rebirth, after all) but Artemis would have to keep her in Fallopian storage for a short while as she made ready to accommodate Alicia. She stood up, a small amount of Tina goo flowing down her legs, and cleaned up after herself, putting Tina's soiled clothing into a bag marked "For Incineration" (a shame- she quite liked that camisole...), and turned to appraise Alicia, who by this time had completely stripped off and was watching Artemis's procedures with... interest.
 
Alicia was a good looking, but otherwise average girl. Slightly chubby, with a curvy figure. Her breasts were a good size, with large areolas and nipples, and she was covered in freckles. Her long red hair fell in curls framing her face.
Most distressingly, Artemis found, was the scars; from her waist down she had a good few ragged scars running down her legs, from the accident as well as the surgeries it took to put her back together. Artemis' heart ached as she imagined the pain that the girl must have felt... and her womb and ovaries tingled at the thought of being able to take the scars and the pain away.
 
Alicia had sat down on the floor while Artemis was purging herself of her previous patient's remnants, and had obviously become rather aroused at the sight; she was slowly rubbing herself, stimulating her clit and panting as she brought herself to climax- not the first, given the small puddle of juices under her. Artemis smiled and put her hands on her well toned hips.
 
"I'm glad you enjoyed the show," she said. "Tina, bless her, wasn't very comfortable being naked during the procedure, hence the extra step. Alas, her loss," Artemis walked over to the desk again and checked a couple of sheets, before turning to Alicia again. "Before we begin, I imagine you'd like an explanation for... well, all of this? What allows me to do what I do?"
 
Alicia nodded. Even having seen what she had seen so far, she still couldn't quite grasp just what had occurred, or what Dr. Knight even was, given her glowing, colour changing anatomy.
Artemis smiled and sat down, and began to explain.
 
-------------------
 
"If I'm being honest, there's a lot I don't know myself. Everything from before my early teens is fuzzy, and I have no family- I was in the system a lot- so I don't rightly know if I was born like this or if I was... made, somehow."
 
Alicia understood this all too well, the feeling of not knowing her place in the world. Ever since the accident she had felt lost in a place that only seemed to remind her of what she had ripped from her.
 
"Anyway," continued Dr. Artemis, "Besides the glowy bits I thought that I was otherwise normal... until my 17th birthday, when I discovered I was pregnant. No father; hell, until that point I was a virgin." Artemis's hand moved down to her belly, settling over her womb. "I couldn't understand it, nor could anyone else. Doctors couldn't figure out what had happened beyond pure parthenogenesis-" Artemis paused, noting the look of confusion on Alicia's face. "In basic terms, producing a child without any male input. Anyway, I got to third trimester, and was at crisis point; my life was a mess and a kid added to the mix would blow it clean out of the water. I remember wishing one night, with all my heart, that I could just reverse myself back to before... and that's what ended up happening."
 
Alicia's eyes grew wide in concern and surprise. "You mean you got an a-"
 
"No, no," Artemis said, in a tone that implied that she'd been asked that a whole lot in the past. "I'd considered it, yes, but I couldn't quite bring myself to do so in case I could get some idea of what caused it- eventually, it was too late for mere abortion. No, what happened was even stranger; my pregnancy began going backwards."
 
Alicia had a poleaxed expression. That didn't usually happen in the ancestral environment. But then, it did fit with what she'd seen already...
 
"Eventually it was confirmed; somehow I'd reversed the process. Nobody knew how. But over the years I gave it some experimentation, and I discovered that I had control over my entire reproductive system and everything in it." She pointed at some of the diagrams along the walls, which (now that Alicia looked at them) appeared to depict the process of pregnancy and conception in reverse, narrated by a Professor Smith.
 
"The child I'd conceived unconsciously had grown almost to term, then gone right back to a primordial follicle in my right ovary. And I found that I could do this with nearly anything that entered my womb; up to and including full grown humans. I could create children- adults, even- in minutes... or unmake them, if I so chose."
 
Suddenly it all made sense to Alicia. Exactly what she had seen when she had walked in, and what she had paid to have done to herself. Tina had been unbirthed into Dr. Artemis, and she had been reduced into the sperm and egg that made her, and would be rebirthed later into a fresh body...
 
"You're quite right," said Artemis as Alicia told her what she thought. "My patients are taken into me, and using my body I remake them as they wish. Or, I take them out of this cruel world, give them a home in my ovaries, until they choose to be reborn as a daughter of mine. Or any number of fates that I can provide." Artemis cupped her hands in a heart shape over her belly. "Is there any fate that you would like?"
 
Alicia thought. Honestly, when she came to Born Again, she thought this was a fancy, painless form of suicide. She'd have been happy to be reduced to a cumstain on the carpet and a dead egg washed down the toilet with Artemis's monthly period, or just to sit as a mindless primordial follicle in Artemis's ovary for ever.
But she had a new idea... and if it was possible, it gave her a hope that while this life was unsalvageable, a new life and purpose could be waiting for her. Even having known Artemis for only a short time, she felt like she admired the doctor.
"Dr. Knight... I have an idea."
 
----------------------
 
Dr. Artemis had agreed to Alicia's request, and it was time for the procedure.
Alicia had covered herself from head to toe in lube; she looked rather like a drowned rat but decorum was hardly necessary for what was to come. She was sat on a soft mat, in front of Dr. Artemis, who was currently stroking her clit and softly pressing on her belly. Alicia was wondering what her soon-to-be mother was doing, but her intent was soon clear. Artemis squeaked as she came, and with the juices flowing out of her vagina came a thick bluish cord of flesh, which was short at the beginning but grew longer as Dr. Artemis pulled on it until it was about a couple meters long. There was a small bulge in her midsection; Alicia assumed that that was her destination, Artemis's uterus, freshly occupied by a placenta. Her placenta.
 
"Phew," Artemis panted. "That's part zero point five." She handed the end of the umbilical cord to Alicia, who felt it. It was moist and warm, and she could feel Artemis's heartbeat through it. "Just hold the end of that to your belly button, it'll attach and connect your body systems to mine."
 
Alicia, slightly apprehensively, did as such, pressing the umbilical to her belly button, or as close as she could through the slight fat of her tummy. It didn't do anything for a second, then of its own accord it snaked into her belly fat, reaching surprisingly deep before it found purchase.
Alicia felt a stinging followed by an itching sensation, before it settled down into a strange, warm feeling spreading from the connection point to the whole of her body.
 
"There we go, dear." Artemis said, smiling as she held the umbilical herself just south of her pussy. "Now we're connected. You'll find that all your needs are being satisfied now by my body; you don't need to worry about suffocation or anything." Alicia tested this and indeed found that while she still breathed purely out of reflex, she didn't actually have to any more; she could hold her breath almost indefinitely without feeling lightheaded.
 
"Just going to wait a minute or so, for my cervix to fully dilate and my pubic symphysis to loosen up. Once I'm done, we'll send you in."
 
Alicia blinked. "A-as I am? Aren't I a bit... big to be going in there?" she said in disbelief, forgetting that Artemis had indeed confirmed it earlier.
 
"You'd think so. But another part of my power seems to be that I can stretch my womb to accommodate almost anything that goes into it. It's best that we begin the regression while you're in there; it's the best place to be if anything should go wrong," Artemis shrugged. "Not that it ever has before, but you can't be too sure."
 
Alicia nodded. She never dreamed that the act she'd read about in a million fanfics before was real, and that she was now about to partake of it herself. She became aroused at the thought, and her pussy started to drip in anticipation. She looked at Dr. Artemis, admiring her body; especially the breasts. She decided to take the risk and ask.
"Um... before I go in, could I... uh..." She pointed at the doctor's ample rack, which was still leaking small amounts of milk.
"Ah, you want to feed?" Dr. Artemis reached up and massaged her tits, causing them to spurt a creamy milk across the mat in front of her. She grinned. "Not the first time someone's asked. It's a side effect of the regression process; I don't usually use the milk, I just bottle it in case any of my reborn patients need a drink. By all means, though!" She motioned Alicia over and offered a breast to the girl.
Alicia knelt in front of Artemis and placed her lips over the areola, taking care not to use her teeth. She sucked on the nipple and almost choked on the massive amount of creamy milk that burst forth into her mouth, even with little suction; Artemis must have been positively flooded with milk. Alicia wondered how the woman could contain it all, but then Artemis was hardly a normal woman.
Alicia drank from Artemis's breasts greedily. The milk was like nectar; thick as cream and utterly delicious. She felt fortunate that she was going to become her child, if her body was so built for nurturing life.
In no time at all, she had drained both tanks and sat back, feeling wholly sated and stomach full of milk. Artemis rubbed her tits appreciatively; they had shrunken slightly, but were no less perky and full for the lack of milk inside them.
 
"Okay!" Artemis said a minute or two after Alicia had finished feeding. "My internals are set, cervix dilated and flush. Now for step one."
 
-------------------------------------
 
Artemis laid back on the mat, spreading her legs and revealing her vulva in full view. The umbilical cord ran from it, but it was no less inviting a sight.
 
"I'm pretty much ready when you are, honey. Feel free to go in however you think is easiest, either head first or feet first. Headfirst might be easier on us both but i'll understand if that's a bit claustrophobic for you."
 
"It's alright," Alicia said shakily. "I'll go in headfirst."
 
"Thank you, dear, you're very considerate. I'll open the way for you." With this, Artemis reached down and spread her birth canal wide. It opened far easier than Alicia thought a vagina should; not amazingly wide, but it gaped wide enough that Alicia could see a dim glow within, a ring of light that glowed like Artemis's hair. She saw the umbilical cord originate from the middle of the glow and realised that it was Artemis's cervix; it seemed to have the same bioluminescence that graced her hair and eyes.
 
"Just keep pushing towards the light, Alicia, and you'll be safe inside me before you know it."
 
Alicia nodded, and knelt down before Artemis's pussy, as if in deep prayer to the altar of her new mother. She steeled herself, and after a moment, thrust her head into Artemis's crotch.
 
Instantly she found herself surrounded by a moist, warm darkness. Artemis's birth canal was tight, but welcoming. The glow of her cervix provided an easy signpost to her final destination. Alicia pushed further in, and her entire head slipped into Artemis's vagina. She was glad for the umbilical providing her oxygen, for she couldn't breathe with her face pressed against Artemis's internal walls.
 
Artemis massaged the bulge about her midsection that was Alicia's head. Just the feeling of this drove her to her first orgasm of the procedure, but it wouldn't be her last. Cum streamed from her pussy currently wrapped around Alicia's neck, and she could feel Alicia's tongue scrape across her internal walls, tasting her fluids.
"OK, Alicia, that w-was step one. Now, this next bit might prove more difficult. I'm going to start pulling with my muscles, we need to bring your shoulders in next. I need you to try and bring in one at a time, while pushing further in. Try and bring your head and left shoulder into my uterus, OK?"
Alicia's hand reached up and gave the universal sign for 'OK', and Artemis started to use her kegels in a rippling motion, pulling her child in.
 
Alicia gripped the mat with one hand and pushed further into Artemis, pressing her head further in and jamming a shoulder into Artemis's vulva. She saw the ring of Artemis's cervix move across her vision, and she moved into a darkness that she knew was her mother's womb. The mere thought of it pushed Alicia to climax and as the orgasm made her shake, the movement also aroused Artemis to her own.
Eventually, with some effort but aided by the added lubrication from Artemis's release, Alicia's shoulder passed into her mother's vagina, followed shortly by the other.
Artemis panted with the effort, but she smiled. This would all be worth it, for both of them. Both of them, conjoined, paused for a short break.
"How are you in there so far, dear?" Artemis said, knocking on her belly where the shape of Alicia's head was visible.
"'m OK. Tight." came the reply. The vibration of Alicia's voice so deep within her sent waves of pleasure through Artemis.
"Alright. That was the hard part. Now what I want you to do is to keep pushing as much as you can with your hands and knees, try and move your shoulders into my womb, once they're in, pull your arms in. OK?" Alicia's head nodded, stirring up Artemis's insides pleasurably.
They continued. Now that Alicia's shoulders were inside, they made good progress. Artemis pulled her in, but Alicia still did much of the work; she pushed inwards, and Artemis's womb stretched to accommodate her shoulders. Dutifully she pulled her arms inside as well, as instructed.
 
Now that Alicia's entire upper body was safe inside her womb, Artemis would have an easier time as the rest of her child was relatively smooth. She looked around her belly, already big enough to accommodate triplets, into a mirror on the other side of the room to check what she could no longer see. Alicia was inside her up to her stomach, her ample hips being the next thing to go in.
"Good work, my dear! Curl up your legs, now. I'm gonna let gravity do some of the work." Alicia curled her legs beneath her, feet under her butt, and with some effort Artemis propped herself up. The act pushed Alicia further into her, and she began to fold herself up in Artemis's womb. Now it was just her hips and legs.
"OK... now, stand up!" Alicia did, unsteadily as she didn't have anything other than her legs outside of Artemis, who also made to stand. They both stood, Artemis looking rather like the bottom half of the Vitruvian man; her own legs splayed whilst Alicia's own scarred pair were together, the rest of her bent double within Artemis's huge womb.
"Brace yourself. dear; as soon as you feel your hips come through my cervix, curl yourself up and pull through your legs. Almost there, now!" With this, Artemis thrust down into a squat; Alicia's hips squeezing through her vagina and cervix almost instantly. The motion pushed her into another climax, even more cum spraying from her stretched vulva. As ordered, Alicia began to turn herself around in Artemis's uterus, pulling her legs in until all that was left outside of Artemis was her small feet. Moments later, those too disappeared.
 
The procedure's first part was complete, and all the work was now Artemis's, who dropped to her knees, cradling her now massive belly. The shape of Alicia was still quite visible; Artemis could see her rough shape in a fetal position. She felt around the sides of her belly for a small bump on either side; her ovaries, which she idly squeezed softly.
"There we go. Are you ok in there? The umbilical still connected?" Artemis said to the part of her belly that looked like Alicia's head. The bump moved in a nod, and Artemis noted with amusement a small vibration near the opposite end of her womb; Alicia was getting off in there. Before she began her pregnancy, she decided to take a short break to let her finish; which she did, Alicia's final orgasm flowing out of her, through Artemis's now only slightly dilated cervix and spraying from her pussy. Artemis felt the rush of pleasure through the umbilical connection, shivering under her own orgasm, her womb contracting around her new child.
 
Inside Artemis's womb, Alicia was breathless, despite not needing breath anymore. Her final orgasm as herself, and it was glorious. She felt a tap and Artemis's voice echoed through her body; slightly muffled but still clear enough to understand.
"Ok, darling, if you're done in there, I'm going to grow an amniotic sac around you and seal my cervix. Then I'll be properly pregnant with you, and we can progress. Are you ready?"
Alicia nodded. She was ready to leave this world behind.
She looked in wonder, between her legs, as Artemis's cervix closed and sealed with the mucus plug that would keep her in here while she regressed. Then from the placenta in front of her, a translucent membrane began to grow around her; the amniotic sac that covered her front and eventually around her backside. After this, from an unknown source, a fluid began to fill the caul until she was submerged; where before she was tightly encased in Artemis's womb, now she had an inch of space all around her and could move slightly more freely. She breathed in the fluid and it filled her lungs, but the drowning sensation did not appear as she expected; she just breathed it like slightly thicker air.
From the outside, Artemis's stomach grew slightly larger and more rounded, and began to slosh as the womb filled with amniotic fluid. Eventually, it stopped, and Artemis hugged her belly. She looked properly pregnant now, as if with fifteen children, and she felt full and fulfilled. Now she would begin to digest her daughter, regressing her.
 
"Well, my darling. I'm afraid this is goodbye for now," said Artemis to her belly. "I'm going to begin the regression. I'll narrate it, of course, though past a certain point you'll lose your sense of hearing, along with... well, everything else. Don't worry, though. I still remember your request. Are you ready? Tap my uterine walls twice for yes, once for no."
Artemis felt two taps from deep within her, and smiled. Time to grant this poor girl's last wish.
She focused her mind on her womb, willing it to begin the process of regression. It twitched ever so slightly, and set to its work.
 
Alicia started to feel a light tingling all over herself. She couldn't see much, but she assumed that this was the beginning of the end. Or the beginning of a new beginning? If Dr. Artemis wasn't exaggerating...
As if on cue, she heard Dr. Artemis begin to explain through the vibrations in the amniotic fluid. "Right now, your body is beginning to move back through your adult years and back to before puberty. You'll probably start to notice a real change once you move back through your teen years."
The tingling continued, and Alicia started to feel... lighter, like she was losing mass. She felt about her, noting that she had more room to move inside Artemis' uterus, and as she passed her hands over her body she realised that her breasts were shrinking. She was getting younger, and her secondary sexual characteristics were starting to disappear; the fat on her hips was also shrinking, turned into their component nutrients and sent surging through the umbilical to her mother. She squeezed her shrinking breasts, one last goodbye to her tits before they retreated back into her chest. In about ten minutes, she had aged about ten years, from 24 to 14, and in a couple more minutes she had come out of the other side of puberty, a girl of just ten years old.
 
On Artemis's side of things, her belly had shrunk considerably; where she once looked like she had fifteen children inside her, it now looked closer to half that. She managed to stand, even her toned musculature and joints protesting under the weight. She turned around and inspected herself in the mirror; all seemed well. Turning back to face it, she noticed she was leaking from her tits; though she wore it well, Alicia wasn't the fittest of girls, and all the fat Artemis had absorbed went to her breasts as milk. She sighed, walked (with difficulty) to her cabinets and retrieved an electric suction pump, one with a bottle attached.
She walked back to the mat, belly swinging, and sat back down. She held the pump onto her left nipple and turned it on, marveling at the amount and thickness of the milk that she produced from the nutrients that had been taken during Alicia's regression. She filled the bottle- it hardly made a dent in the amount of milk in the breast- and detached it from the pump. What she produced from Tina earlier was nothing compared to this; it slowly sloshed around in the bottle, almost like white paint more than milk, completely opaque. Artemis decided to give it a taste and found it to be utterly delicious; like ambrosia from the gods, rich and packed with nutrients. She drank the rest of the bottle greedily, and made a mental note to save as much of this batch of breastmilk as she could. Imagine making an icecream out of it!
She realised at this point that Alicia was continuing to regress, and looked down at her belly, guessing what point she was at.
"At this stage, you're past the beginning of puberty and falling back into infancy. Soon you'll be at the stage you were at just before your first birth, but it doesn't end there. Pretty soon, you'll start to lose cognitive function too, but just in case, I'll keep explaining..."
 
Alicia was indeed around that stage. She had turned around in Artemis's womb, her head pointing down towards her cervix. She looked at herself; she was moving through her first decade now, her fingers and limbs getting shorter and chubbier as she became a toddler. The change seemed to be going slightly faster, now that there was less of her to absorb. Her senses started getting fuzzy as she reentered her infant years. It was becoming harder to think; she still felt like herself, but she was suffering something like that drowsy brain fog one sometimes gets after waking from a nap. Eventually, she reached newborn size.
Artemis rubbed her belly. Finally Alicia was a manageable size- still very large for a baby, though. Her poor true mother must have had one hell of a time giving birth to her the first time around. Nevertheless, Artemis could move as normal now, and she began to prepare her next steps. She got up from the mat once more, holding her belly, and waddled to the drawers once more. From them she pulled a bag and another beaker like the one that kept Tina briefly, albeit slightly larger. She collected Alicia's belongings, in a bag that- unlike Tina's- was labeled "donation", putting it aside next to her paperwork. Then she sat at her desk and did some office work of little importance, while Alicia finished her journey.
 
Alicia was fading in and out of consciousness. It was a pleasant feeling, however; warm, comfortable and safe in Artemis's uterus, she felt utterly at peace for the first time in years. Her body was regressing now through the trimesters, and her home seemed to expand as she shrank through third trimester, then as she entered the second she closed her eyes and could not open them again, as they fused shut. She vaguely felt herself turn again, away from Artemis's cervix, back upright, before her sense of touch left her, and as she approached the fourteenth week of her life she finally fell asleep, and did not wake again. Her last thought was of her family.
 
Artemis felt Alicia move through the trimesters as she sat, and shed a single tear as she saw her belly shrink down to almost flat. She didn't usually get this emotionally close to her patients, but Alicia was a special one. She'd miss her... if she didn't know she'd be back eventually. She prepared for the next step, and sat up to kneel over the beaker.
As Alicia regressed through her last fourteen weeks, Artemis did something that was her own little addition to the natural process: she commanded Alicia's cells to start splitting off into the womb and convert themselves into sperm, containing the paternal half of Alicia's DNA. In this sea of semen Alicia officially transitioned from fetus to embryo; and shortly after she detached from Artemis's womb lining. Her blastocyst moved up to Artemis's right fallopian tube (the left held Tina's own embryo, waiting for her turn to implant and grow again) and moved through it, its cells fusing until they returned back to the single cell they started as. A moment later, the lucky sperm that made it to the egg 24 years ago reformed and split from it, floating away and disintegrating as it was absorbed by Artemis's body.
This wasn't the end though. Artemis knew it was time to enact the plan that she and Alicia had made. The egg that was Alicia went into Artemis's ovary, but instead of regressing into a mature follicle, Artemis instead commanded one of her own to release its contents; a very special egg. Her first child, the one that so long ago she refused. Within her ovary, she guided these two gametes together until they met, and fused into one. Truly now, the old Alicia was gone... but a new Alicia would be born, when Artemis was ready, and she would have a family again. She allowed the new egg to settle within her ovary, Alicia waiting to be reborn in a happier time.
 
Alicia's physical presence gone from her, the only trace of her DNA now locked inside her right ovary, Artemis held the beaker to her pussy and located the hard, sperm-filled lump in her abdomen that was her womb, pressing down on it. The semen she'd made from Alicia's fetal cells squirted through her cervix and out of her vagina; she was right to have picked a larger beaker, for there was far more of it than with Tina. She held the beaker of semen up to her face, as with Tina, and smiled.
"Thank you, dear. I look forward to seeing you again sometime, in a better future."
She used a syringe to inject the Alicia-semen into some specimen vials and placed it in the freezer on her countertop, to await the day when Alicia came back to her. Then, as her last duty of the day, she moved Tina's embryo from its spot in her left fallopian tube back into her ovary, and made her womb ready to bring her back to the land of the living.

[Years later]
 
The intercom buzzed.
 
"Oh, my, that must be the next patient," Dr. Artemis Knight said, breathless as her passenger's movements brought her to orgasm for the fifth time. "They're rather early, though, I'm not done regressing Mr. Tillson and he's still in his teens. Could you handle this patient, hon?" She smiled at the other woman that now worked in the Born Again lab. "You know how it's done by now."
 
The other woman, Dr. Artemis's daughter, nodded. She walked, naked, to the intercom. She was tall, well built but slightly chubby from the nutrients absorbed from her patients. Her long red hair fell in curls down her back, the ends shining with beautiful bioluminescent light. Freckles, faintly glowing like a starfield, covered her pale skin. Her pussy started to drip in anticipation of her patient, ready to recieve them wholly, and she smiled as she pressed the buzzer and began to speak.
 
"Born Again Industries, Dr. Alicia Knight speaking. How can I help you?"
