This choice: Go ahead and cry some more and let Jill see everything. • Go Back...Chapter #8Go ahead and cry some more and let Jill see eve... by: Edenflower   Kelly flinched, her limbs eager to make the dash to the bedroom, but the oppressive weight in her middle made even the idea of it seem laughable, and still crying, she settled back against the couch and waited.
Jill walked into the condo, distracted by the backpack and two suitcases she was hauling. She had shut the door and was halfway across the living by the time she finished shouting, "Kel, where are you girl?" and stopped dead in her tracks when Kelly replied meekly from the couch, "Over here."
Jill, looking over at Kelly, dropped both suitcases reflexively and stared. Overwhelmed by the site of her very naked, very pregnant roommate, Jill stared for what felt to Kelly like an eternity, and finally stammered, "K-Kelly, what is this? Is this some sort of joke?" to which Kelly responded, "No!" and burst into tears. Jill was across the room in a flash and seated next to her friend on the couch. Kelly choked out, "I... I came home last night and I put on some new panties and ... and they made me pregnant and I ... and I don't have (sniff) any clothes... and there's more than one baby and (sniff)... and then I peed myself... and... and I'm so scared!" and began sobbing again.
Jill tentatively reached out a hand and gingerly touched her friend's newly swollen belly, then ran a hand all over its surface gently, marveling at how firm it was, muttering to herself, "wow, it really isn't a costume..." Then she pulled Kelly against her into a warm hug and said, "Oh honey, it's going to be ok! Hey, hey Kel, we'll get through this, ok?" Jill held Kelly for a few minutes until Kelly was able to calm down.
When the house had quieted down, Jill said, "Don't you worry honey, I know what's wrong. You're not really pregnant! I don't know what would have caused you to develop this so rapidly, but this is clearly a hysterical pregnancy."
Kelly interrupted her, "No, Jill, No! I'm really pregnant! Look at me! I look like I'm about to drop twins! My breasts feel like their full of milk, and not to mention that not only can I feel them moving inside me, I've seen them kicking through the outside of my belly!" Kelly took Jill's hand and pressed it to her belly, jerking it from place to place until saying sheepishly, "I... well their not doing it right now."
Jill looked at her positively and said, "Kel, everything from lactating to the swelling belly, and even imagined fetal movement can be the results of a hysterical pregnancy. What's more likely: that an actual medical condition that is known and documented caused this... somehow, or the a pair of panties suddenly got you actually pregnant overnight? I mean, c'mon, trust Dr. Jill on this."
Kelly rubbed her belly and looked at Jill after awhile, saying, "I really don't think this is all in my head."
Jill stood up and offered Kelly both hands to help her lift her extremely heavy body off the couch, and said, "Here's what we're going to do, honey. I'm going to help get you into bed, and you're going to take a nap. While you're doing that, I'm going to go buy you something to wear until we can get this all sorted out. I'll call and get you an appointment at the doctor's tomorrow, and we're going to get you seen bright and early, ok? Dr. Jill's going to take good care of you!"
Kelly smiled; Jill always knew just the right thing to say. How was she ever worried about Jill seeing her like this? They'd been best friends since college, and were exactly the same size (well, at least until this morning) and swapped clothes often, so Kelly had no concerns about Jill shopping for her in her new "delicate condition."
Jill settled Kelly in bed and ran her hands around that enormous belly once more. It did certainly feel real, and for that matter, it certainly felt sexy. Jill had always harbored a crush on Kelly, but had never admitted it. She pulled a couple of blankets over Kelly's motherly swell and said, "you get some sleep, and I'll be back before you know it."
Kelly hadn't realized until that moment just how weary she actually felt. Hauling all this new weight around apparently really took it out of her! She watched as Jill got up and walked out of the room, her pale skin reflecting the sunlight coming through the window, her red hair looking like fire.
Kelly had barely heard the door closed before she dozed off.
Jill made her way quickly down the stairs and out to her car with a purposeful stride. As a practicing psychologist, Jill was confident that she understood what was happening to her friend, and fascinated by what she was sure was one of the most sudden onsets of hysterical pregnancy ever recorded. One good journal article on this and she was going to be famous! But in the interim, her friend desperately needed help, and Jill was ready to provide it.
After pulling the seatbelt snugly over her ample C cups, she drove quickly out to the mall, and headed straight for the maternity store. The young clerk at the store greeted her with a smile and said, "How can I help you today ma'am? Are you expecting, or shopping for someone else?"
Jill patted her slim belly and said, "No little ones in me today, honey. I'm here to buy some clothes for a friend of mine."
"How far along is your friend?" the clerk asked, and Jill replied, "I'm... honestly, I'm not sure. The last time I saw her, she looked like she was having twins, but I don't think she's due for awhile."
The clerk smiled and said, "then let me show you to our multiples section!"
The clerk led Jill to the back of the store to a few racks of maternity dresses with very expansive fronts. Jill was holding a bright yellow paisley sundress against herself, trying to imagine what it would be like if she actually filled such a dress out when a voice from behind her laughed and said, "Jill, I love that that I've caught you shopping for me, but you can do better than that. You know I hate paisley!"
Jill, lost in the contemplation of what she would look like with a big, pale pregnant belly, absentmindedly replied to the familiar voice, "I know, Jen, but you know how much Kelly loves it."
And it wasn't until the words crossed her lips that she realized what had just happened. Jill whirled around, the sundress still pressed against her to see Kelly's extremely pregnant sister Jen standing there in a tightly fitted purple dress. Remarkably, she looked to be exactly the same size Kelly had been!
Jen looked at Jill with confusion and said, "What has Kelly got to do with this? And where is she anyway? She was acting all weird on the phone earlier." The "oh shit" look on Jill's face confirmed to Jen that something was amiss, and as she paused to run a hand around her heavy belly she saw Jill's eyes go straight to it and she suddenly felt very concerned.
"Jill," Jen asked in a sharp whisper, "is Kelly pregnant??"  indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
