Friends
A short story by Cheviot (

*insert standard disclaimer here*
They were the four. As long as they could remember they had been friends. The elite. They ran the school. Natalie, Marie, Allison and Trudy. They were beautiful, smart, and fashionable. School life lived and died by their whims. Then Marie made a mistake. One night without protection and Marie was pregnant, and dumped by the elite. Now they were three... and they never let Marie forget it.
***
Marie made her way quietly to her locker, trying to be inconspicuous as possible. In the old days she would have strutted, but those days were long behind her. Now a days she was just happy to make it to homeroom without some awful comment or jab. She gathered her books and, now with a bit less trepidation, crossed the main solarium to get to homeroom. Whew... I get off light today she thought happily...maybe it's finally,
"Marie" called Natalie from across the crowded solarium.
It was like the Red Sea had been parted. No one stood between Marie and her former best friends. They were smiling. That was never a good sign. Natalie was wearing a red mini and blouse that accentuated her tiny waist and long thin legs. The others were wearing matching outfits in different colors. Quiet whispering could be heard in the corners of the room... Something was up.
"Marie, as you know, we're having our monthly sleepover at my place and it would be just dreamy if you could come." Allison and Trudy tried their best to avoid snickering.
"You know I can't. It's Friday night and I have to work late, then I'm home with Jason for the night."
"And how is that sweet little tyke?" Natalie was all smiles, but her eyes weren't smiling. This was a sick little game Natalie savored playing at every opportunity.
"He's fine. He just started..."
"That's wonderful! Isn't it almost his birthday?"
Marie was surprised. "Yes, it is... Why do you"
"Well, We all chipped in to get this for you". Allison handed Natalie a rather large box tied with a bow, which she immediately handed to Marie. "No hard feelings."
Well, today is a day for surprises, probably not good ones, Marie thought as she stepped back from Natalie. The last thing she wanted was a gift from Natalie, and knowing her, it was _not_ something she'd want. Natalie held out the box for a moment, then seeing Marie's distrust, lifted off the top and upended the box letting the bright blue Thigh-Master fall loudly to the floor.
"Can't let the little one have a mommy with the biggest ass in all of North Brook, can we?" Natalie said in her sing-songy voice, as Allison stepped around to Marie's back. "Oh no, we should have the industrial version." Allison added and patted Marie across the backside. Suddenly the whole room erupted in laughter as Marie ran down the hall towards her homeroom. "Cowgirl, you forgot your gift," Natalie shouted down the hall after her.
Its not that she was especially fat, but compared to Natalie, Allison and Trudy's little one hundred pound frames she was positively huge. After she had Jason she had never been able to lose the thirty pounds that had settled on her butt and bust line. She tried for months to lose it, only to finally admit it wasn't going anywhere... Just what she needed... to be reminded of it in front of half the student body. Not to mention being called 'cowgirl'. Natalie always made fun of how busty she'd gotten when she was pregnant and hadn't let up since she couldn't seem to lose the weight across her chest.
And just for icing on the cake, when she got to her homeroom she found another Thigh-Master sitting on her desk topped with a big red bow.
She left the school in tears.

That Night
By nine things were in full swing at Natalie's house. Her parents were packed away to the mountains for the weekend. Natalie was looking picture perfect in her short frilly nightie, Trudy in a more sleepoverish full length nightgown and Allison in pink sweatpants and tee shirt. The liquor cabinet was unlocked and the remnants of three ice cream sundaes littered the table. Between the drinking and ice cream the girls had pretty much settled in to watch "I Know What You Did Last Summer". The creepy guy in the raincoat had only just been run over when the doorbell rang.
Natalie got up to answer the door. It was Marie, still in her McDonalds uniform.
"Listen, I know things won't ever be the same, but I thought maybe a little peace offering might help smooth things over." She handed Natalie a Tupperware bowl. "They're cookies, I made them from a new recipe. They're fat free but they really taste great."
"How thoughtful of you." Natalie smirked, looking down at the cookies. "Are you sure you won't stay?"
"No, I've got to get home to Jason"
"Well, I'll tell the girls you stopped by. I'm sure we'll _love_ the cookies." With that Natalie turned and slammed the door in Marie's face.
"Who was it?" Trudy asked, pulling herself up in her chair.
"You will not believe this. Our favorite cowgirl just stopped by to try to smooth things over with about two dozen cookies."
"You can't be serious!"
"You can't make up stories this good. I mean, what a loser. Bringing a gift after we publicly humiliated her today. Talk about a brown-noser," Natalie laughed.
"Maybe we shouldn't be so hard on her" Trudy said quietly.
"What did you say, I must not have heard you right," Natalie replied, all traces of laughter gone from her voice.
"Nothing. It was nothing."
"That's what I thought. Well... it looks like its cookie time. Grab the milk and some glasses Trudy."
Trudy didn't even glance toward Natalie as she got up and crossed the room. As she entered the kitchen, Allison whispered, "You know, she was Marie's best friend. They lived next door to each other before we even met them."
"I know. That's why we've got to stop this feeling sorry shtick right now. I won't have it. Not in my house."
"You think she did something to the cookies?"
"Marie, come up with a clever comeback? Get real. She's the type that takes whatever shit you shovel at her and comes back for more."
"Yeah, I guess" Allison replied, but she didn't sound so sure.
Trudy returned quickly with the milk and Natalie tried one, savoring every bite. She took her second and noticing the other girls hadn't touched them said "Come on, they aren't getting any fresher..." They dug in. Trudy barely touched them, but Natalie more than made up for her, eating more than a dozen over the next half hour as they watched the film.
As the movie ended Trudy headed for the bathroom. "I don't feel so good"
Natalie looked over at her dismissively as she left. "Think she's going to toss her cookies?" Natalie couldn't help but laugh at her own joke.
After about five minutes Allison decided to check on Trudy. She started to pull herself up out of the overly comfy chair when she encountered some resistance. She wiggled a bit in the chair and forced herself up with her arms, taking a moment to gain her footing. "I feel really weird, kinda bloated." a quiet gurgling sound emanated from Allison's belly. She glanced down and after a moments thought turned toward the bathroom.
Natalie stood to get herself a drink but stopped as she glanced across the room. "What the fuck!" Natalie exclaimed as she stood looking at her reflection in the mirror on the far wall. She looked like she had just eaten a very large meal, her short nightie doing nothing to hide the bulge that was now around her waist.
Now Natalie was headed to the bathroom, passing Allison in the hall. "Trudy! Come out here, are you all right?" She called out as she approached the bathroom door. She grabbed the handle and started to twist it, but it was locked tight. She pushed against the door, and felt something peculiar. Confused, she backed away and pushed again -- and once again felt something odd, but she couldn't quite place it. She looked over at Allison, who stood, mouth agape, staring at Natalie.
"Holy shit! What happened to your belly" Natalie shouted.
Natalie looked down, finally realizing what the odd sensation she had felt earlier was. It was her belly flattening against the door as she had pushed against it. Unlike Allison, Natalie's belly was uncovered by her short nighty, revealing a belly that might have been six months pregnant, aside from the deep belly button. She quickly moved her hands across her belly, feeling its softness. It felt like a big ball of fat. And a ball that was getting bigger, she realized, as she felt the skin stretching beneath her fingers. She quickly noted that she wasn't gaining weight anywhere else. Her thighs and butt were tight as ever.
"Me, what about you??"
Even through Allison's ankle length nightgown a bulge could be seen at Allison's waist. Allison was just reaching down to feel her belly as they heard the bathroom door unlock and swing open. Trudy stood there, her sweats pulled down just enough to reveal a slight bloating below her belly button. As they stared they saw the bulge slowly overtake her belly button, pushing it out along the curve of her distended belly. "Whattt Whats happening?" Trudy stuttered, running her fingers across her slowly swelling middle.
Natalie turned toward her room, almost losing her footing as her weight shifted in an unfamiliar way and ran into her room. 'Ran' is actually a strong word. A fast jogging shuffle was all she managed, that is until she stopped in front of her full length mirror.
"Natalie," Trudy whispered "What's happening? I'm getting bigger and bigger and..."
"NO SHIT!' Natalie yelled, staring into her reflection in the mirror. Her once flat belly was pushed out as if she had eaten a basketball for dinner, its smooth curve only broken by the deep crevice formed by her very deep belly button. She laid her hands across her belly again feeling the skin slowly stretching outwards.
She turned toward the mirror looking at herself head on, feeling her eyes begin to tear up, presenting her profile to the other girls.
Trudy said, almost in a whisper, "Jesus, you look as big as Marie was when..."
"Don't you say it!" Natalie turned and approached Trudy, her eyes burning coals of hate, realizing with growing horror she was waddling as her belly settled into her pelvis. She had just grabbed Trudy by the shoulders when the doorbell rang.
They all stopped and stared back and forth at each other. "Trudy, you get the door. We'll wait here. Whoever it is, get rid of them!"
"I don't want anyone to see me like this!"
"Hell, you're not half as big as Allison, no one will notice a thing. GO!"
Trudy made her way to the front door pulling her sweat pants and tee shirt back into place, dismayed to find that even sweats couldn't hide her growing middle. Just as she reached the door it rang again. She opened the door just a few inches and peeked outside. It was Marie.
"Hi, just wanted to stop in and see how you liked the cookies"
"Uh, oh... yeah... they were fine... thanks."
"How long ago did you stop eating them?"
"I dunno... like twenty, thirty minutes ago" Trudy felt and heard an odd gurgle in her middle.
"Good!" Marie said, pushing the door open and waltzing in past Trudy. She looked down at Trudy's swollen middle smiling. "Looks like you better cut down on the sweets" she said and patted Trudy's not very firm belly. "Where's Natalie?"
"Uh, she's in there," Trudy said, pointing toward Natalie's bedroom.
"I bet she's really full of herself now," Marie laughed as she started down the hall.
Natalie waddled out of her room and met Marie at the doorway. By now Natalie was truly a sight to behold, looking at least eight months pregnant in her tiny little nightie, waddling heavily, one of her hands supporting her back. "You bitch!" she yelled, "What did you do to me?!?!" as she repositioned her feet into a wider stance, helping her balance.
"I guess you figured out the cookies weren't quite what you expected, huh?" Marie said, still chuckling at the sight of Natalie's enormous middle. "Relax, its not like you're pregnant. It's just fat. I'd been planning this for a while, but I didn't have the nerve to do it. That little stunt before homeroom finally pushed me over the edge."
"What did you do!' Natalie reached out to grab Marie but came up an inch short as her belly bumped into Marie's comparatively slim frame. "Just a little magik", she said, patting Natalie's belly as she turned and walked into the living room. All three waddled, following her.
"I just wanted you to see what it felt like to be in my shoes back when everyone was staring at me, pointing, poking my belly. Let you know how horrible it was."
"Shut up and make it stop!"
Marie laughed... "That's the funny part. I can't. You'll just keep getting bigger and bigger... unless..." Marie turned and started to walk away...
Allison asked the obvious question. "Unless what?"
"Why Allison, aren't we looking positively maternal" she replied, flashing one of the smiles Natalie always flashed at her. "You must look seven months pregnant"
"Please" Trudy said quietly, "How can we make it stop."
Marie looked over at Trudy holding her apparently six month pregnant belly. "So soon? Oh well, you still have some growing time left. Anyway, I have to get back to Jason. Okay. You want to stop growing. That's easy. All you've got to do is have sex and the spell will be broken."
"What? Looking like this??? I'm not going anywhere looking like this! Anyway, why should we believe you?" Natalie said, her belly now looking almost nine months pregnant as she rubbed her hands across it...letting the reality of it fuel her anger.
"Don't believe me, I don't care. I'll stop back later. Either you believe me and it will be over or you'll be needing a fork lift to get around. Your choice."
Marie turned and walked to the door. Just as she was stepping through she turned back, remembering something Natalie used to say to her. "Oh Nat, stop rubbing your belly, its so trailer trashy." She turned and pulled the door closed behind her.
"Do you believe that load of crap" Allison said, looking to Trudy. Natalie ignored their conversation, waddling past them back towards her bedroom. "Natalie, wait up!"
"You two can sit around talking till you're as huge as I am," she said through eyes full of tears, still trying to catch her breath, "but I'm not just going to wait around. If there's a chance, I'm taking it." As if in agreement, the stitching on Allison's nightgown started to rip slightly down the side as Natalie awkwardly pulled open dresser drawers and tossed clothing onto her bed.
***
It took them about ten minutes to get dressed. Trudy was wearing a pair of big baggy sweatpants, baggy, that is, except for the front, pulled tightly over her round belly, now looking almost eight months pregnant. A frilly pale yellow top that flared at the hem completed her ensemble. Allison went for something a bit less daring, one of Allison's mom's large muumuus that she found in the hallway closet. Natalie, well... Natalie didn't have much choice. Not much in the house would fit her, so she settled for a pair of her father's bib overalls and a white nightshirt with Garfield on the front, the biggest top she had.
They dressed silently, helping each other adjust their outfits and button what they could not reach.
"Okay, We meet back here in two hours no matter what." Natalie said, leaning back, resting one arm atop her vast protuberance of denim.
"We're not going together?" Trudy asked quietly.
"What? You have a stroke when none of us were looking? We wouldn't stand a chance together. Three knocked up babes on the prowl. We split up, we meet back here in two hours. Comprende?"
Two Hours Later
When Allison walked in the front door, Trudy was already there, waddling back and forth. She almost did a double take before remembering what she herself must look like by now. Trudy didn't seem to have gotten much bigger since Allison last saw her, still looking about seven or eight months pregnant, but Allison definitely had. Her feet hurt, not to mention the pain in her lower back... and the irritation of her belly rubbing back and forth across the surprisingly rough fabric of the dress she was wearing. Her waist has probably picked up another three or four inches she thought in resignation.
"Damn, what happened to you?" Trudy asked.
"How'd you manage to stay so small? It took me almost an hour and to get laid."
"I found Rick. He just got home from drinking with his buddies. He was so drunk I don't even think he noticed this." she said, patting her belly gently.
"It took me forever. I finally ran into Stan down by the 7-11. I hadn't seen him in almost a year, so he didn't know that I wasn't..." she glanced down at her bloated middle, "Took awhile to talk him into it, but you remember Stan, to him, a fuck is a fuck."
Trudy nodded. "That's why you dumped him in the first place. You feel any different?"
"Just heavier... and bigger, it moves around so much just walking...but it stopped growing as soon as we did it. You?"
Trudy nods again. "Same here. I haven't had to loosen the drawstring on these since we did it." She put both her hands on her belly and pushed it side to side. It moved like a ball of jello. "I can't believe how much this is in the way and how heavy it is. You start getting smaller yet?"
Allison shook her head as they heard the front door fly open and hit the opposite wall. Natalie waddled heavily in, not bothering to shut the door behind her. She was, in a word, huge. Her belly looked as big as the other girls' bellies added together, like she was ready to deliver twins. At some point one of the straps on her overalls had given way and given the distance from the end of the strap to the clasp there was no way she could do it up again. Her shirt had pulled up slightly over her belly, revealing a crescent of flesh out the open side of her bib overalls.
"Stop fucking staring!" Natalie shouted at them, waddling slowly closer, huffing and puffing as she went. The girls just stared as she approached. It almost looked as if her belly was stationary and the rest of her body was moving around it. It took her a moment to catch her breath and get a good look at them. "How the _hell_ did you guys stay so small???"
Allison chirped "I wouldn't exactly call this small" placing one hand on each side of her belly, as if presenting it to Natalie.
"You know what I fucking mean! It took me till like twenty minutes ago to get laid."
"Well, you are a lot bigger than us, so..." Trudy began.
"You. Shut. Up. NOW!"
"Where'd you go?" Allison asked?
"It took forever to get anywhere with all this extra weight. I can't even walk fast. I took the alleys so people wouldn't see me and this belly bounces with every damn step. I just got as far as Fifth Street, like a block from the theater. I met someone there."
"At this hour?"
"He was just getting off work. And he was willing, okay? Enough questions."
"Everything's closed way before then around that part of town but the theater... NO WAY!"
"SHUT UP!"
"This would be about when the theater locks up... what's his name..."
"Billy McGuire, from the AV Club" Trudy helpfully provided.
"Yeah, he locks up after the late night showings... You didn't!"
"SHUT UP!" Natalie roared. "He was there... he was willing. He got the job done! Let it rest!"
Allison and Trudy still hadn't stopped laughing when Marie appeared in the doorway.
"Looks like you took my advice" Marie quipped, walking up to where the girls were kibitzing in the living room.
"You!.... Why are we still huge? We did what you said!"
"It takes a little time for the spell to finish up, be patient." Marie stepped over to the table and picked up the remote. "Anything good on TV?"
"Something's happening" Trudy said quietly, running her hands across her belly. "It feels, I dunno...kinda itchy-tingly." Trudy began rocking back and forth from foot to foot. "Ow... my hips are killing me"
Marie put down the remote. "Looks like the show's starting early! Don't worry Trudy, that's just your hips spreading."
Trudy glanced up in confusion at Marie before looking back down at herself. She continued rocking back and forth as they noticed her loose sweats starting to fit differently. Her rear seemed to be filling out, as were her thighs. She ran her hands across her backside as she looked over her shoulder, watching her butt round out and spread. She turned back toward Marie just as her top started to bulge, her perky B-cup breasts flowing outward into a large, firm DD cup. She stared at her breasts, running her hands over them, then, thinking quickly, her hands fluttered down to the hem of her top and pulled it up off her belly.
Her belly looked the same as it had a few minutes ago, but not for long. It looked like a balloon hooked up to a helium tank as her belly expanded out several more inches, the skin becoming tight and taunt and shiny, stretch marks drawing themselves over her bellies lover curves. She reached forward, sliding her hands around the now firm curve of her belly, now feeling her very deep belly button as it filled from within, and pushing itself even with the surface of her belly. She looked from Marie, who was smiling, back to Natalie and Allison, and then back to her belly and dropped heavily into the chair behind her, crying softly.
"What the fuck happened to her!" Natalie demanded.
"Well, I have to admit watching you waddle around all huge and swollen was fun. A little revenge is good for the heart." Marie paused for a second, "But all I really wanted was my friends back, and now that you're all going to be pregnant, just like I was, we'll all be in the same boat. So now you really are pregnant, big butts, boobs and all."
"Uh, Natalie?" Allison called from behind Natalie.
"You shut up." she said dismissing Allison, never taking her eyes off Marie. "You want friends? You use magic to make us huge, knock us up, and you expect us to be friends??? You'll be lucky if we don't kill you!" Natalie retorted, flames of hatred in her eyes.
Marie couldn't help but laugh as she shook her head. "You won't remember any of this in the morning. "
"Natalie?" Allison interrupts again.
"I SAID SHUT UP!"
"Humm..." Marie glanced back toward Allison, and then back to Natalie "Well, anyway, by morning you'll remember being pregnant for about six or seven months. We reconciled months ago, after you three got the not-so-good-news and we've been hanging together again ever since."
"Well then, I guess I better kill you now before I forget!" Natalie grabbed for Marie's neck.
Allison screamed. Marie and Natalie turned to see her with her muumuu bunched up in her hands. Her thighs were already huge, her hips bulging into a wide hourglass shape. She gasped as her belly puffed out, swelling larger and firmer, her belly-button popping out into an outtie as a sheen stretched across her belly...
"I...I can feel it kicking" Trudy sobbed... feeling a spot on her belly.
"Waittasecond! You said we were only like 6 months pregnant. She looks like she's gonna drop a kid now" pointing to Trudy, who was still feeling her belly tentatively, "and she looks ready to have twins!" gesturing to Allison who'd let her muumuu drop back over her, cradling her huge belly in her arms.
"Well, you're only about six months along... But it looks like Trudy is having twins" she looks at Allison and tilts her head "Allison looks like she's gonna have triplets..." She reaches out and puts her hands out Natalie's still flabby belly " you its hard to tell, you're not done yet, but maybe septuplets!" she added with a grin.
Natalie lunged forward with the most hateful look Marie had ever seen. Just as her hands reached Marie's neck she groaned and stepped back, grabbing her oversized belly as the buttons at the hips of her overalls popped loose one by one. Natalie pulled at the remaining strap, finally tearing it from its catch and letting her overalls fall to the floor, revealing her widening rear and swelling thighs. After glancing, panic stricken over her shoulder at her expanding rear as it bulged out into two firm half-spheres, she grabbed the hem of her top, which barely covered the top third of her belly, and pulled it off over her head, revealing her belly and breasts in all their glory. Her breasts swelled quickly, looking for all the world like they were being pumped full of silly putty, swelling rapidly and heavily outward. She cupped them in her hands, as if trying to restrain them, but they swelled onward, her areolas growing larger and puffing out as they grew into huge deep reddish brown mounds, her nipples popping out to nearly triple their old size. But still her breasts grew, outgrowing her small hands and sliding heavily down the sides of her distended belly until they reached a size about four times as large as Marie's 38-F cups... the swelling slowed and finally stopped as pale blue veins spread beneath the surface of their skin.
"Moooooooooo, cowgirl!" Marie whispered. Seeing Natalie's confused and frightened stare she added, "Sorry, the boobs are part of the revenge thing. Heavy as shit, aren't they?" Marie asked, noticing Natalie was still trying to cradle her massive breasts in her hands." Just wait till you're milk comes in. They'll get twice that size and your nipples... well, lets just say they're gonna be truly obscene. As a bonus, you get to keep them. They won't be getting any smaller, since the milk won't be stopping anytime soon." Marie noticed Natalie was still staring at her chest a daze, feeling her rubbery nipples and areola. She pointed at Natalie's belly. "Look out, the big show's starting."
Natalie ran her hands across her beach ball-sized belly, sinking her fingers into its softness, feeling pressure from within push her fingers out, barely able to dent its now hard, expanding surface. Still she swelled. Veins shot across, just under the surface of her skin as a shiny gloss began to coat her belly, starting at her back and working its way forward. Natalie moaned as her added weight forced her down onto the sofa. Still she grew. Small dents pushed outward against her belly from within, babies already kicking energetically. The texture of her skin got rougher, as the occasional vein made its way to the surface, forming tiny ridges across her belly's surface. Her growth slowed, stopping as her belly button pushed out into a huge, firm, rubbery outtie with a loud pop.
Including the insanely huge belly button, her belly stretched out past her knees.
Now Natalie was crying...sobbing really, but Trudy seemed to have regained her senses to some degree.
"My.. uh.. my belly...it feels so weird.. All tingly..." Trudy whispered.
"That's from stretching so much. When you rub it, it feels normal for a little while. Why'd you think I was always doing the trailer trash rub? That normal feeling doesn't last long though, so you'll probably be rubbing an awful lot. Same thing pretty much goes for your nipples, but with an added magikal extra. The more you rub 'em, the bigger your boobs get. Pretty soon people'll start calling you all cowgirls."
Marie walked over to Natalie and gently tapped her distended belly button, bouncing it back and forth between her fingers. Natalie immediately looked up.
"Feels weird from the inside, doesn't it? Rubbing it doesn't make that weird rubbery feeling go away either, not that you could reach anyway. Clothes are gonna be a bitch, rubbing across that monster all day long." Marie continued, still playing with Natalie's belly button, oblivious to the looks of concern and disgust that crossed Natalie's face. Natalie looked back down as she tried to rub away the odd tingling feeling she felt across her belly, but she could barely reach around her mammoth breasts.
Marie looked around, surveying the girls. "Oh well, enough fun for one night. See you all tomorrow... We have shopping to do. Pleasant dreams."
Epilogue: 1 month later
"Who's got my ice cream" Allison called from the living room to the kitchen.
"I do," replied Trudy, waddling in with bowls in each hand and one balanced carefully on her overfull belly. She had grown bigger in the last month, swelling forward as well as wider, now seemingly used to carrying the heavy load she bore. "Grab the middle one first, its really chilly." she said, thrusting her belly carefully forward shivering slightly. Allison rocked forward to grab it, rocking back and forth until her belly got moving enough to allow her to reach forward and grab the bowl. Allison had expanded as well, looking like she really could drop triplets at any time. "Where's Natalie and Marie?"
"Where else? Bathroom. Nat like she can stay out of there for more than five minutes."
A moment later Natalie lumbered into the room, leaning backward, supporting her back with both arms. Not that her arms really had anywhere else to go. Even in her skintight XXXL T shirt her breasts spilled off to either side of her belly, filling her underarms and quite a bit of space in front of them. Her belly spread far and wide in front of her, her massive tee shirt barely starting to cover her belly, its seams beginning to split, its hem falling almost a full foot above her massive belly button, now easily the size of a large roll of thread.
Allison reached up and pushed her belly button. "Hey, ice cream is ready."
Natalie looked down at Allison over the massive curve of her belly. She would have swatted away the girls hand if she could have reached, but it had been months since that was even plausible, much less possible.
"Please don't do that," Natalie shivered, "It feels really weird. Speaking of which, Marie, sorry for all those times I tweaked you, if I knew how it felt I'd never have done it."
"Don't worry about it."
"Who would have thought Marie could be so much help, like telling us about the cocoa butter to help with the stretching skin?" Allison added.
"Don't forget the cheap places to get maternity stuff. I can't believe how much she saved us," Trudy added.
Marie helped Natalie down into her chair and handed her a bowl. Natalie spent a moment or two trying to figure out how to get the spoon, in one hand, and the bowl, in the other, to meet, blocked as they were by her massive belly and swollen breasts. Soon she gave up, sitting the bowl down next to her and scooping up spoonfuls of ice cream one handed. "I can't wait till after I have them and my boobs go down to normal." she said, flapping her arms slightly, like a duck, causing her massive breasts to shimmy and shake. "I hear they go back to normal pretty quick after you give birth, especially if you breast feed."
"Uh... I wouldn't count on that if I were you" replied Marie knowingly. Natalie just nodded sadly.
"I hate to be a pest," continued Natalie, " But could you rub some more of that cocoa butter on my belly...I just can't..." Natalie made vague gestures as if attempting to rub her belly, but her hands came nowhere close after avoiding the huge swellings of her breasts.
"Sure, just pull up your top." Marie added and sat on the floor in front of Natalie, opening the cocoa butter. Natalie's massive milk-white belly was slowly revealed, the spattering of veins covering most every part of its surface. With a final tug she pulled the top off her belly button, making it twang back and forth like a huge rubbery spring. Natalie winced, then her face relaxed as Marie began rubbing in the cocoa butter, carefully avoiding Nat's belly button, marveling at how firm and huge its surface had become, feeling the constant kicking from within.
"Marie?"
Marie looked up to see the top of Nat's head looking down at her "Thanks, I don't know what I'd do without you". She couldn't see Nat's mouth, but her eyes were smiling.
"Don't worry about it. It's great to have friends."
