It's been another week since Luke last checked himself on the scales. During that week he had been snacking and stuffing himself with food. His mother seemed oblivious to his gaining, and in some ways helped him, by giving him extras or leftovers at the major meal times. Between those times Nick made sure he was snacking, using his pocket money to buy candy and crisps from the local supermarket.
He went down to the bathroom in his undies to check out the changes. He noticed his once flat, rib showing belly was no longer. It had become spherical, and firmish. He prodded a finger into it, but it would not sink in. His arms and legs were starting to get chubby, as was his face. His undies hugged his swollen butt. He then cradled his arms under his belly, as if he was pregnant. He was really enjoying the shape his belly was becoming, although wasn't too sure about the gains elsewhere on his body. He turned around to leave the bathroom when he saw Alice, his 6 year old sister, staring at him.
Alice was once fat, but had lost most of the weight. However she was still a little chubby, especially around her belly. For a 6 year old she was pretty bright and observant. She had noticed that Luke had been gaining, but kept it quiet from her mother. She stood there, her belly stretching the front of her top slightly, rubbing her belly.

"Umm, oh, yeah," he said embarrassingly.
"Don't worry, I wont tell. You are enjoying yourself, and you don't look too bad with that extra weight," she said, walking up to him and rubbing his swollen belly. His belly let a little gurgle go off in response. "But you got to slow down on feeding Buddy, that is really getting obvious and don't want him getting unwell, and costing mum money,"
"Ok," said Luke, amazed that his sister wasn't upset about his gaining. He walked back to his bedroom, with the plan on snacking on the doughnuts he brought earlier that week. He closed his door so his sister would not watch. He cracked open the hard plastic lid to the doughnuts and started eating them. Each one went down quickly, one after another. About halfway through the packet he stopped and tried to catch his breath. By now his belly had become really distended, blocking his view of his feet. His belly groaned in pain as the doughnuts barely fitted in his 8 year old belly, with the rest of the food he has eaten. He moaned from the pain from his belly, but looked over at the doughnuts, wondering if he could fit more in. He was starting to feel sleepy from eating, plus he was partly immobile with his swollen belly.
Then he saw his door knob turn
