Sarah stretched her arms out, the yawn she tried to suppress getting out. "Mmm, I guess there's nothing wrong with an early bedtime," Sarah said to herself, walking like a zombie to her own room. Once inside, she let out another burp and held her hand over her tight abs. "Ugh, I still feel kinda bad from the Xpect. Hopefully in the morning the nausea will be gone." She changed out of her clothes, still stained and a bit stiff with sweat. Sarah contemplated stepping into the shower but changed her mind at the last second.
One look in the mirror told her that she didn't look too good. Her eyes had grey bags under them and her lips were a little chapped from her repeated vomiting. Sarah looked down at her fit, sexy body, resting one hand on her stomach and pressing gently. That settled her lousy feeling some, so Sarah continued to rub and feel her bare belly. "Nice and flat, and gentle soft skin like pastry," Sarah sang to herself with a little smile. "That's why we go to the gym!"
Sarah tried brushing her teeth, but had to stop every few seconds as her tooth brush set off her gag reflexes. She opted for a swig of mouthwash instead and headed back into bed, unhooking her bra and snuggling under the blankets. "This stuff really took its toll on me," Sarah groaned, seeing a can of Xpect still left on her desk. "I bet I'll feel amazing in the morning now." In no time, Sarah was off to sleep, drifting deeper and deeper into the unfolding dream world.
Nina was at the front of the gym, in her athletic top that just covered her breasts and her little shorts, shuffling back and forth, sweat dripping off of her big belly. "Alright, good, now we're going to pull, just like me. Ready?" Nina said into her headset, pump-up music playing from the speakers above the class. Nina stretched one arm out and pulled it back, switching from arm to arm as she continued to hop around, belly and breasts jiggling.
The class in front of her, all hugely pregnant, some impossibly so, did the same. It was all kinds of familiar faces: Brittany, the Hamiltons, the Smiths, Mrs. Perkins, Sabrina. Although Sabrina and Laci seemed to be having a hard time keeping up with the exercises. It wasn't just because their bellies were nearly five feet in front of their bodies. If anything, that made them below average in this class.
"Alright, now to do some leg work, here's my friend, Sarah!" Nina said, and in came Sarah, with a belly dwarfing Nina's like Jupiter dwarfs Io. Sarah didn't seem to mind, though. She was smiling as always, her blond hair in a ponytail, her bright baby blue tank top covering up about as much of her as Nina's outfit.
"Hello future moms and dads! Now, we're going to get those knees up! I know, sounds a little scary, but we can do it!" Sarah said. "Ready? 1-2-3!" Sarah started lunging her legs up, and the class followed along, with plenty of grunts and whines from some of the less athletic and larger bellied members. "Don't worry if you feel your babies start kicking! They're just exercising along with you!" Sarah laughed as she took her arduous steps along with the class.
When her section was done, Sarah toweled off her forehead, Nina waddling over and smiling. "Everybody, say thank you to Sarah! And with that, we're done. Cool down."
"And don't forget to replenish any nutrients you lost through your sweat with a can of Xpect!" Sarah said, waving to the crowd as she waddled out of the main gym, hands on her hips, taking deep breaths to recover her strength. Sarah waddled to the pool, where Lori, Jim, Terry, and Emily were already bobbing around, looking like icebergs with huge bellies floating above the water.
"Pre-natal class done?" Emily asked.
"Yup, it gets bigger every day," Sarah smiled, rubbing her belly. "And it's not the only one."
"Well come in and relax," Lori smiled. "This is the only way I don't feel heavy. Well, besides looking at your belly by comparison."
"Bombs away!" Sarah laughed, jumping into the water. As she hit the water, its lines blurred and bubbled, turning grainier and grainier until it was like static. Then the static cleared and there was just a white background and a table with a can of Xpect. The woman from the commercial stood there with the same soft smile.
"Xpect Energy Drink," she said, taking the can and drinking it all down in one long, smooth sip. As she drank, her belly swelled more and more until she looked absolutely ready to pop. "Fills you full of life."
"Snrkg," Sarah snorted, suddenly opening her eyes awake. She looked around, confused, a tiny spot of drool on her pillow. "Oh, that was just a dream...it felt so real," Sarah said to herself, rolling onto her back in bed, rubbing her eyes. "Weird."
Sarah took a deep breath and smiled. "Mmm, I don't feel nauseous anymore...great!" Her bubbly, happy demeanor snapped back into place and Sarah threw her covers off, happily putting on her exercise outfit and going for her morning run. "Bye Britney!" She said as she left, waking her roommate off of the couch. Britney groaned and started to get up, noticing her hand still on her belly.
"Weird dream," Britney mumbled, pressing her hand against her belly curiously. "Great, that stupid drink ended up making me bloated. It looked like it was all sugar anyway."
Sarah went for her run around the neighborhood, noticing that her breasts felt more painful during this run. Like they were bouncing around more often, while still feeling her sports bra's constraint more tightly. "I can just get a new one from the gym store," Sarah remarked, taking quick, consistent breaths as she turned each corner. Little did she know that this method of breathing would come in handy in eight days.
After her run, Sarah-
