"So, uh... why did you want me to come visit, grandma?" You asked after putting the recently harvested cacao pods together with the ones you assumed she got before your arrival.
"Do I really need a reason to have my favorite grandson come over, huh?" Xóchitl playfully asked in a tone that was reminiscent of your mom's bubbly, jovial attitude.
"Grandma!" You blushed in embarrassment.
"What? I'm just telling the truth!" She laughed and patted your head before giving you a tight hug that pressed you against her very sizable chest and her soft belly, which was also nearly as large as Dolores'.
"I think you're also Miriam's" She giggled "I know she loves Ariadne, but you should've seen her when you were just born!"
"Huh?" You raised an eyebrow, that was something you hadn't heard before.
"I see neither your parents nor your aunts have told you" She laughed and she gestured at you to sit while she walked into the kitchen, grabbing a large glass and pouring cold milk from the fridge as you could see that she began preparing you your favorite drink.
"Well, it was something you had to see! I mean, you were there, but you can't remember" She smiled.
"When you were born, your mama was like a girl that'd just gotten her favorite doll for Christmas!"
"Somehow, I think I can picture it" You chuckled.
"I'm surprised Sheila or Lola didn't tell you!" She began laughing "We were worried you'd start walking late because she wanted to carry you everywhere! That's how much she loves you, she wanted you to be with her nearly all day, Gina, Sheila, Lola and I all helped so she could take an actual break and also spend some time with your dad and sister"
"Oh... They had mentioned it but to be honest I thought they were just messing with mom" You replied with a slightly awkward chuckle, your cheeks hurt a bit since you were blushing so hard.
"And that was just the tip of the iceberg!" Grandma Xóchitl laughed again "Most moms grow weary of having to feed their child every few hours, but your mama was always happy and ready! A few times she even had to wake you up from your nap for it... Those were funny times" She smiled.
"I could see that you sometimes got upset but in the end, she simply followed her instinct and I'd say it did a perfect job... Here you are, a tall, healthy guy, strong like a bull...." She said, making you blush harder "...and why not say it? You picked up the best looks from both of your parents"
"I'm nowhere near as strong as Ariadne though, or dad" You laughed.
"Well, you're strong enough to catch me! I'd say that's more than good enough!" She enjoyed a hearty chuckle and then she gave you a tall glass full to the brim with smooth, creamy and frothy chocolate milk, the one version that surpassed anything you could make yourself.
"Thanks, grandma!" You said as you happily began sipping your drink.
"All jokes and silliness aside, I did have a specific reason for you to come over" She began explaining as she sat down, across the kitchen counter and in front of you.
"I got a very special new kind of flower! And I want you to be the first together with myself to see it bloom!"
"What kind of flower is it?" You asked, feeling genuinely curious. Even if you weren't as passionate about them as she was, it was impossible not to share in her excitement, plus you always learned something about your parents' homeland thanks to her.
"It's a species not even the scientists know about!" Xóchitl said with seemingly sparkly eyes.
"A good friend of mine fetched the seeds for me! The flower is very hard to find and it only grows in a remote corner of the Peruvian jungle"
"Wow" You were nearly as surprised as she probably was when she got them.
"And I haven't told you its name! Well, it's a translation from quechua, the language of the Incas, you know? But basically they're called the Emperor's Orchid. It's such a precious and hard to come by flower that even in ancient times only the Inca Emperor could have them in their royal garden"
"That's amazing! How come not even the scientists know about it?" You asked.
"Well, you know, with the Spanish conquest and stuff a lot of knowledge was sadly lost, tons of ancient writings were burned and people that knew things ended up working the silver and gold mines" She sighed "But they didn't get everyone" She then smiled.
"Oh! And I haven't told you the best part yet!" She giggled excitedly "Legend has it that if you witness their blooming and smell its fragrance, a wish you make will be granted... My friend says that this was also one of the reasons the ancient Incas didn't let anyone have this flower"
"So... a dandelion on steroids?" Both you and your grandma enjoyed a hearty chuckle.
"Well, it doesn't hurt to try, does it?" She smiled "Besides, at least you can brag that you saw something only ancient emperors could centuries ago. Now, we better hurry up because I'm sure they're gonna bloom in just a couple of minutes!"
"Roger!" You enthusiastically nodded and finished the rest of your chocolate milk, still thoroughly enjoying the superb taste. You walked towards the sink to wash the glass but your grandma gestured at you to leave it there and almost dragged you by the arm as you two hurriedly left for her backyard garden.
Once in there, you followed her until you got to a section of the garden where there were a couple of small bushes that were completely different from anything you'd seen in her garden so far. Maybe bushes wasn't the most accurate word, they were more like miniature trees, not unlike those of roses, but they definitely looked like jungle trees, and even had some odd branches that resembled liana vines. All of the plants' branches were loaded with flower buds that despite their closed state were a bright crimson color that seemingly shone with sunlight, giving the impression that they gave off a light of their own.
"I've counted the days ever since I planted them and I'm sure they're gonna bloom any moment now!" Grandma Xóchitl said, turning around, facing away from you as she also stood before one of the plants.
"Get your wish ready!" She giggled and then both of you gasped when the buds began to open right before your surprised eyes.
Almost as if time suddenly decided to go in slow motion, you watched the flower buds on the plant you were facing open up all at once, revealing bright crimson flowers, somewhat shaped like the classically drawn sun, bearing gold outlines that looked as if they were made of actual gold, which also helped you understand why these flowers were exclusive to the royalty in ancient times. You chuckled internally, you definitely had your wish ready, even if just for the sake of playing along with the old legend, you were gonna give it a try.
With your wish stated in the silence of your mind, you leant closer to the flowers to smell their aroma. It was gentle and delicate, the closest way to explain it for it to make sense to anyone who'd listen was to say that it was like a mix of roses, lavender with a touch of jungle flowers. You felt a subtle tingling all over your body that began to grow more intense with each passing second until your whole body felt nearly overwhelmed by them. You wondered if this was an effect from the flowers' scent or just the sheer excitement you were feeling. Your body began feeling light, very light, as if you were free from any weight or burden on it, you feel like you could even fly if you just jumped into the air, and at one point, you really felt like you were flying!
'Wait a minute! This feels too real!' You then thought as the wind chilled your face, opening your eyes in sheer shock. What you saw was beyond your wildest dreams! You were flying indeed, heading towards one of the flowers' petals, only that this time it looked hundreds if not thousands of times larger than the last time you checked.
'Please don't tell me this is what drugs feel like' You dreadfully thought as you crash-landed on the soft petal. You looked around and the sight was unreal, the plant, formerly a small tree, roughly as tall as your own chest, now reminded you of the Yggdrassil of the Norse myths, a world-tree. Gigantic blossoming flowers, all identical to the one you were on, could be seen all around and as far as your eye could see, as the branches also seemed to extend endlessly into the horizon. You pinched yourself a few times, but you couldn't snap out of this apparent trance.
"What did you wish for, hun?" Xóchitl asked, her voice now sounding much louder than usual, with a slightly ominous booming to it, though it sounded somewhat distant as well. Following that sound, you turned around and saw something far more incredible than these exotic flowers! Right before you was a pair of truly enormous, jiggling fatty and fleshy planetoids that pushed the thin fabric they were covered by to its limits. You instantly recognized the fabric, it was the same dark gray as the leggings your grandma was wearing right now... and obviously, that gigantic ass belonged to her. You gulped, this was way scarier than when she fell on you.
'If the 'Honey, I shrunk the kids' movie had people like her I don't think those kids would've lasted so long' You thought with a shudder. If she fell on you again at that size you were sure you wouldn't make it. And yet, she was your only lifeline, as you knew that if you stuck around for too long on these flowers you could find yourself in trouble with insects or birds, even. You weren't even too sure how small you were, but as the flower's petals looked massive at your scale, you concluded you had to be a fraction of an inch tall, half at most, but you suspected it was way less than that.
"Hun?" Xóchitl straightened up and somehow this made her titanic behind look even bigger, and worst of all, the flower you were on was at its level, and near centered to it, "treating" you to the massive jiggling frenzy that ensued with her slightest motions. What happens next though?
"Do I really need a reason to have my favorite grandson come over, huh?" Xóchitl playfully asked in a tone that was reminiscent of your mom's bubbly, jovial attitude.
"Grandma!" You blushed in embarrassment.
"What? I'm just telling the truth!" She laughed and patted your head before giving you a tight hug that pressed you against her very sizable chest and her soft belly, which was also nearly as large as Dolores'.
