You walked into your house, but not without a few anxieties bubbling in your now pudgy gut. You knew no one else noticed you had gained weight spontaneously in the shop, but would that retroactively change your past? Was the world now recreated thanks to what you did? In a way, you had destroyed the past, and probably could never return the world to as it was before.
Maybe this wasn't a bad thing.
Your mom wasn't home yet--actually the house was empty. You looked everywhere for photos of you, photos to see if you had always had this belly in this time line or if it was a new thing--or if the past had been affected at all by your gain. Unfortunately, you couldn't find any recent pictures. There were a lot of old pictures from a few years ago. Maybe you looked a little rounder--maybe--no, not at all.
What if your mom didn't know you had gained weight?
What was she going to say? Sure, you liked the pounds gathered around your middle, but would she? Well, she wasn't exactly skinny herself. She ahd no right to judge others for a little extra meat. Still, what if she did judge her? What if--?
No, no times for what-ifs now.
At that moment, the door opened, and mom walked in.
