Belly Literary Universe (part 1)

Kelri's Gain Part 46: By Invitation Only

Kelri spent most of the work day having her pant unbuttoned. It was the only way she could get comfortable sitting at her desk. Her ballooning size demanded a clothes shopping trip to the Azure Heights Megamall was planned. Even her biggest maternity shirt left the bottom of her belly exposed. It wasn't that she minded having her belly out all that much, but she thought it best to try and look presentable.Still, the stares of shoppers in the mall made sure she was always aware of her exposed softness..

After passing a group of gossiping teenagers, Kelri distracted herself with fantasy. 250... Is that really where I'm headed? I'm already sooo heavy. What will another 40 pounds be like? She let her pace slow and her footsteps get heavier. With an arched back she imagined herself twice as big. Twice as heavy. Let them stare. Is there anything else around her worth staring at? No. Just me. Without delay the crowd parted around her. Rivers of people flowed around and glared at her while she scanned her phone for clothes stores. Chaos reigned as her position in the intersection managed to somehow disrupt every passerby. At the center of it all she looked on in amusement and arousal. Hah, all this disruption because one fat girl stopped to look at her phone. Sorry guys this thing is just so big and heavy. You're going to have to deal with it.

Kelri's attempt to find clothing stores to fit her rotund form was as unsuccessful as her previous trip months ago. She resorted again to the same maternity store. With hands clutched to her belly, she waddled down aisles of breast pump supplies, prenatal supplements, newborn clothes and strollers. The aisles were arranged different than her last visit. In her wobble towards the clothes section of the sore she ran into a familiar face.

Amanda had the same back facing pigtails with fake flowers intertwined, but was lacking her gravid belly. She looked great with a belly; pregnancy suited her. Kelri thought to herself. The baby weight she carried bulged over her belt; It surprised her how much she felt a bigger belly would improve her look. Part of her wanted to hide to find her own clothes, but a deeper part of her wanted to see her detailed reaction to the 60 pounds she had gained since then. "Oh hi! Amanda was it? Right?"

"That's me!" She turned with a thrill on her face that someone was looking for her. A peculiar look between surprise and confusion washed over her face. Her gaze fell onto Kelri's belly and stayed there for a few seconds before she shook her head and adopted a friendly smile. "It's been awhile since I saw you! Are you? I mean - how far -" She stammered trying to address Kelri's bulk as polite as she could.

Kelri stopped her and gave her gut a pat.She can't believe what she's seeing. What if I just tell her... What's the worse that would happen? She chastises me? That would be awful but... good practice. I guess she could kick me out... It might be worth the risk to see her reaction. Kelri smiled. "Stop you're fine. But..." Kelri hesitated. "I have to make a confession. I've never actually been pregnant. I just put on weight with the holidays. And then some Medications made me put on more and well - i just gain all my weight in my belly. So now i have this big thing. Sorry I lied before. It was so hard to find clothes. It's even harder now."

Amanda looked back at down at Kelri's belly with a half smile. "I understand. I've never seen anything like it, but who am I to judge? And you won't find me criticize you for trying to get clothes that fit better. After 4 pregnancies I know that struggle all too well."

"Oh thank you! I was worried you'd be mad."

"Nooo. Of course not. Actually you're not the only - uhh - tummy heavy woman who's been in here recently. There has been a few. None as big as you but - oh I'm so sorry. I didn't mean that!"

"I'm not offended. I know how big I am." Kelri laughed to diffuse the tension. I wonder why other fat girls have come here too...

"Phew. Can I help you then? Tell me I can help you. I'm sure we can get you something. Do you know your current measurements?"
