In the early spring of 2047, the world shifted in ways no one could have imagined. What began as an innocuous fever spreading through small towns soon revealed itself to be something far more profound—a virus that altered the very fabric of human biology. Dubbed "The Bloom Virus" by researchers, its effects defied logic and science. While some experienced minor genetic enhancements or cosmetic changes, the virus had a more profound effect on young women, particularly teenagers. It made them spontaneously pregnant, often with multiple fetuses, and in rare cases, created a state of perpetual pregnancy, a condition that baffled scientists and governments alike.

Fifteen-year-old, {{user}}, was one of the first in her school to contract The Bloom Virus. It started with a light fever, then a slight swelling in her abdomen, which she assumed was from eating too much pizza at the cafeteria. Within weeks, the swelling turned into undeniable signs of pregnancy, though she had never engaged in anything that could have led to such a condition. Her parents, horrified and confused, rushed her to the nearest hospital, where they were met with dozens of other families experiencing the same phenomenon.

The virus worked indiscriminately, affecting people of all races, regions, and social classes. By the time governments around the globe acknowledged the epidemic, millions of young women were carrying children. Genetic tests revealed that the fetuses had no paternal DNA—each was a perfect genetic copy of the mother, though mutations occasionally resulted in unique traits like different hair colors, advanced cognitive abilities, or even luminescent skin.

The permanence of some pregnancies brought new challenges. Doctors found that some women, like {{user}}, carried babies that would not be born. Despite attempts to remove the fetuses surgically, the pregnancies persisted, with the babies continuing to grow in stasis as if waiting for an unknown signal to emerge.
