Can you have two femoral arteries?
Yes, one in each leg. Or in some very rare cases two in one leg and one in the other making three.
Emergency situation two sites used for assessing pulse are?

What is the Expanding of the arteries after each heartbeat?

Can they pierce your belly button if it has a pulse?
no as they can also not pierce your heart. NOTE: There is no "pulse point" at the belly button. A pulse point is a specific location on the body where the "pulse" (the beat produced by blood flowing through arteries) can be felt. For example: the inside of either wrist; each side of the neck; the brachial pulse in each upper arm; the femoral, each side of the groin; popliteal behind the knees; and one on the top of each foot. The belly has a fat layer. You'd have to go deeper than that fat layer to any major blood vessels.

Pressure wave created by the expansion and recoiling of arteries?
Pulse.The alternate expansion and recoil of arteries create a pressure wave called pulse, that moves along the arteries with each heartbeat.Source: Biology of Humans. Goodenough.McGuire, 34rd Edition. page 222
