“Why is this April, of all of the April's, so damn hot?” the 25 year old Morgan muttered to herself as she eased her 339 pound body up off the couch she kept in her little clothing shop to adjust the A/C again. Easing herself up was had become quite the challenge since she entered into the second trimester. It started with widening her legs far enough apart from each other, then lowering her belly into that opening, gripping the armrest, and pushing up. Because of the momentum generated, the belly would swing up, which she then would have to catch and slowly let back down. Even with a maternity girdle on for support, her orb-like belly bounced heavily against her body, especially her back. Looking down hardly helped anymore, as both her breasts and her belly blocked any view of the ground. Finally, she felt her center of gravity shift into place which, even with the girdle, always felt like the middle of her tree-trunk thighs.
“Had to be when I was massive and pregnant and couldn't magic my way out of this,” she muttered as she wiped the sweat from her brow. Sighing, she whispered, “Just seven more weeks to go.” Morgan knew down to the minute of when she would have her first child, Illyana, which just happened to be May 29th at 4:13 am. Mama really loved the number 4, so it did not surprise Morgan that she would be 40 weeks and 4 days pregnant before giving birth.
Morgan was dressed in a very tight, very lightweight purple sundress with white horizontal stripes. Due to how the dress hugged her entire body, the stripes were badly distorted across her belly and hips. It did not reach her dimpled knees in the front, but she hardly minded that these days. A woman her size could hardly care and if any one gave her trouble about it, they got an earful of pregnancy-induced rage hormones and maybe a surprise growth spurt of their own. Like one Rebecca Gowan.
Rebecca had been a classmate and decent friend of Morgan's before Morgan became Mama's apprentice. However, the reality shift had changed much of that part of Morgan's life, including becoming Mama's daughter. One of those differences had been that Morgan and Rebecca had never become friends, which had an effect on Rebecca. Turned out, the old Morgan had a tempering quality on Rebecca's arrogance, which without her being around had turned her into a bit of a monster. This new Rebecca is who walked into Morgan's shop a few weeks ago back in March.
It had been a warm spring day in March, so Rebecca was wearing a pair of khaki Capri’s and a teal short sleeve shirt with some slip-on sandals. She looked to be in really good shape, with her 3-day a week workouts. It fit her 114 pound, 5'6” frame, although it left a bit to be desired for a woman's body. She had her long auburn hair tied up into a ponytail. Her bright hazel eyes arrogantly surveyed Morgan's little shop and especially Morgan, who was dressed in an ill-fitted white tank top and a big purple skirt that day. Both items clung to her hips and belly, as well as left a couple of inches of underbelly flesh out for the world to see.
Morgan had been having a day. First, her car had become unbearable to get into anymore, so she had called Cassie for a ride. Cassie explained that she was busy with the twins (lately, she had been using that response a lot), so Morgan asked Mama for a ride. Then there was the whole point for the ride: Morgan's doctor's appointment. That went over as well as a meth addict in relapse as her doctor, Stephanie Prag, had chewed her out for putting on so much weight. Again. Once Morgan had gotten to the shop, she started thinking of the best way to take some sort of revenge on the young doctor, which was just the mindset the young engineer found her in.
“Afternoon. I'm here for a dress left in your... care,” Rebecca said as she sauntered up to the counter. Morgan had recently had it moved forward so her growing body could fit behind it again, though it was becoming a tighter fit again. Behind the counter Morgan had placed a little chair stool to sit on during transactions, which was where she currently was, basking in the cool air coming out of the vent above her. She eyed Rebecca with dubious look.
“Name on the dress?” she asked.
Rebecca just looked at her like Morgan was one of the dumbest people she had ever met. “It's Gowan. Under my mother's name, Melissa,” she said as if Gowan was a name that all of the “common folk” knew.
Morgan just rolled her eyes for a moment, then said, “Yeah, I remember. It's on the back row on the left.”
Rebecca just stared at her. “You expect me to go get it?” she asked incredulously.
Morgan rubbed her beach ball belly and said, “It's how we run things here. Very friendly and open. And, besides, it takes me longer to get up and get it than you these days.”
Rebecca shook her head, conveying a message that said If you weren't so fat, you could do this job easily, which served to piss Morgan right the hell off. “Whatever, fine,” and made her to the back. While on her way, Morgan started working up a spell for the young “princess.” Morgan knew better than to cast magic while she was pregnant. Whenever a caster casts a weight related spell, the caster takes a random low percentage upon themselves, usually no more than 20 percent of the total gained. However, if the caster is pregnant, she is under the protection of the Divine Spirit of Fertility and no changes can be made to the caster's body. Instead, it latches on to the aura of caster and waits until she is no longer pregnant. Cast too many spells and the caster will gain an absurd amount of weight once the baby has been delivered. Morgan had already racked up 56 pounds, but she did not care about the consequences.
Morgan wanted to knock her old friend down a notch, so she started with Rebecca's ass and hips. Morgan inflated Rebecca's behind until the seat of the khaki's exploded after 15 pounds. Rebecca immediately noticed the sound of her pants ripping and the tightness around her hips as her hands flew to her new bubble butt, fingering the tear. Oh my god, I knew I shouldn't have worn these today she thought to herself. She had just reached the back of the store, so she was saved from the embarrassment of having to explain why her khakis ripped. Thinking quickly, she called out to Morgan. “Excuse me, miss, but where are do you keep your pants? I was thinking of buying a pair while I was here.” Already Morgan could hear the arrogance coming out of her, but she was not done yet.
“Three racks down from where you are, Rebecca” Morgan called back as she started the next part of the spell. Rebecca started going through the rack, looking for something to fit her larger rear when she started to notice the waistband was cutting something fierce into her hips. Thinking quickly, she unbuttoned them, only to watch her hips expand further out from her. She wanted to cry out, but the words were not there. Instead, the now extremely hippy 141 pound Rebecca grabbed a size 8 pair of jeans and disappeared into the back changing room.
Taking stock of herself, she tried to rationalize what was happening to her as she tore the khaki pants off her. Looking at herself in the mirror, she hated how flabby her thighs looked now. And what was up with her belly? She looked so bloated as she pulled the shirt up, like she had drank two 2-liters of soda in one go. She noted with dismay that her breasts had not gained any of this mysterious weight. As she pulled the wedgie she was getting from her panties out of her butt, she noted how soft and jiggly her butt was now. Yanking on the jeans did not help her either, as she noted how well they fit her.
Just as she was about to leave the dressing room, she heard Morgan say, “Rebecca, your other selections are by the door, should you want them.” Other selections? Rebecca thought. “Umm... I didn't make any...” she started to say as she felt the new jeans tighten up around her waist. Lifting her shirt, her new belly was starting to roll over the waistband as she felt the seat of her pants fill in. Quickly, she undressed again, this time discarding the extremely tight panties as well. Cracking the door open, the 168 pound girl grabbed the pile of clothing next to the door and then took stock of herself again.
Again, she had put on a lot of the new weight either around her waist or below. But some of it had worked its way up. Her bra was overflowing and her face appeared softer. I have to get out of here she though as she dressed in the new clothes, which surprising included appropriately sized undergarments (a size 34B bra and medium panties). She dismayed at the size 12 jeans and how snugly they fit her ass, but knew she had little choice. If she could just get out the front door, she thought she would be safe. After that, it would be extremely baggy clothes until the weight came off.
However, just as she opened the door, there was Morgan in all her pregnant glory, holding a knee-length pale pink sleeveless sundress out for her. “Hey, buddy. You said you wanted to try on a dress, so here you go,” as it was tossed in Rebecca's face and the door was shut. Expecting another growth spurt, Rebecca quickly unsnapped the button on the jeans and closed her eyes. After a second of nothing, she opened them and looked for any new damage. However, she found none. Calculating, she held the dress out. It was bigger than she had expected it to be, but there was no tag. Considering she had little knowledge on how the bigger sizes worked, she surmised it might be a 14. Even though she knew she was in danger, she decided to try it on.
Slipping out of the jeans proved easy enough (though she hated the way she could feel her ass spread out against the seat), she shucked her teal shirt finally and tried on the dress. The dress barely fit her as it hung on her body like a girl trying on her mother's clothes. Must have been larger Rebecca thought. Just as she was about to get out of the dress, she caught sight of her face. Whereas before it was just a tad softer, now it was round. Her cheeks were full and a modest double chin greeted what was once angular and shallow. Next she noticed her neck as it became thicker, followed by her shoulders and upper arms inflating. She started in horror as the weight gain fluffed her breasts a bit (leaving her still a B, she noted) but instead made a grand impact on her waist as it ballooned further out. The dress now clung to her small belly and love handle as the weight gain moved further south down her hips. Her hips exploded again, easily her widest area and a definite mark as a pear-shaped gal. She turned to view her profile as her rear jutted further out from her body than her belly did, making her ass the largest part on her body. Her butt was so large she would have to always make sure that anything she wore was not bunched up over it. The size of her butt hiked the hemline of the dress up in the back, revealing more of her thickening calves. She could not see her thighs, but she felt them come together under the dress.
Finally, a feeling of relief came, but not the way Rebecca would have like it. The old Rebecca, that is. This new Rebecca, or Becky, was friendlier, happier, and generally at peace with the world around her. Sure, she knew her butt was the center of several undeserved jokes from the engineers down at OU and here, but she had a close knit group of friends that always stuck up for her, including among those Morgan. Taking one last look at her now size 20 self, the 222 pound woman exited the changing room. As she closed the door, Becky tried to place why she had wanted to try on clothes in the first place. Waving it off, she went and got her mother's dress, then back to Morgan at the counter.
“Thank you so much for fixing this up for her, Morgan. I know she'll just love it,” Becky's bubbly voice rang out. She sounded more modest now and definitely no longer like she was better than anyone around her.
“No problem, girlie. What are friends for? How long are you in town?”
“Just for spring break. We should totally do lunch and hang out with the old crowd,” Becky nodded energetically.
“Sure, I'll see what I can do. But no late nights for me,” Morgan said as she patted her pregnant belly for emphasis. “So, you got a nice handsome fella from OU yet?”
Becky blushed and merely shook her head. “No. No guy seems to like having a girl with an ass bigger than his own.”
“Well, give it time. I'm sure there's a guy that's a bigger ass. They are men, after all,” Morgan chuckled.
“No kidding. Anyway, here's the 30 bucks for the dress and this,” as she quickly grabbed a sliver of paper, “is my new cell, so you can call me for the baby shower. Now, I've got to get going, I've a lot of errands to run for my mom today. Later,” as she used her very large rear to push open the door. Just before Becky left, Morgan gifted her with frizzy hair and upped the red tones in it. As a final gesture of kindness, she added one more growth spurt to happen over the next week, a nice round figure of 50 pounds. Morgan smiled as she tried to sooth baby Illyana. She always acted up when Morgan's casting percentage latched on to her aura. This one was larger than the usual, a whole 30% this time. Morgan merely sighed at the now 84 pounds waiting for her.
Thinking back on her new friend brought a smile to Morgan's face as she waddled back to her spot on the couch. Just as she was easing back down, she heard the twinkle of the door chime. Looking up, she caught a sight that infuriated her more than remark from some pencil-thin woman ever could.
It was Cassie, but not the Cassie that Morgan had seen back in January. That Cassie had been well on her way to the 300 pound range. She and Morgan had just had a very large lunch, where Cassie had announced she was going back to work at the new bank, something Morgan supported, if only cause Morgan knew it would not last long. Since then, Cassie had not had any time to have lunch with Morgan or do anything else for that matter. Now Morgan knew why.
This Cassie had lost all of her baby weight and had dropped back down to 223 pounds. Still amply pear-shaped, Cassie's twin pregnancy had gifted her with a larger rack. She was wearing the skirt she wore when Morgan had first transformed her, back when Cassie Perez was Traci McNeil. Cassie's transformation was what had lead to Morgan's pregnancy and Morgan becoming a full-fledged magic user. Sure, the drawstring was not tied off because the ends still could not meet from around Cassie's hips, but it was the same skirt. She was also wearing a new purple tank top and one of Doug's red flannel shirts. Her luscious brown locks were tied up in a ponytail, leaving her still beautiful tan face open. She had a large smile on her face, which highlighted her dimples. She was wearing a pair of standard flats and she carried with her an average looking water bottle.
“Hey, Morgan,” she said cheerfully. She then gave a quick twirl. “So, what do you think? I've literally been working my butt off since we last met.” She said this proudly. “Few more months and I will be under 200 pounds, a number I ain't seen since high school.” She paused to gauge Morgan's face. “What's wrong, pregnancy brain?”
Morgan had to shake her head to stop from staring and to cover her anger. Cassie should not have been able to lose that weight. Ever. No recipient can. It is part of the magic. A dark thought crossed Morgan's mind, but she knew she needed to play it cool.
“You look fabulous, Cass! That's definitely news. Here, come sit down and chat. I ain't seen you in forever, girlfriend.”
Cassie bounded over and sat down next to the mountainous woman, the pair of them taking up the entire couch. “I know, I've been a huge flake these last few months, but Rhiannon said it was important to not miss gym days. So, how's your little snowflake doing in there? Bet you're ready to be done, eh momma?” she said with a laugh as she laid her hand on Morgan's imposing belly. A large static shock jumped from Morgan's belly to Cassie. “Oww,” she said.
Morgan laughed a little bit at Cassie's pain. “Serves you right for ditching me. I'm good, but I want to know more about you. How did you lose 40 plus pounds in 4 months?”
“Gawd, I know, right? Can't believe I got up to 260-something. I was massive. Anyway, I owe it all to Rhiannon,” she said as she took a swig from her water bottle.
“And who is she?” Morgan asked inquistively.
“Oh, that's right, I ain't done that yet. She's one of the higher-ups at the bank. Skinny thing, black hair that she keeps in a bun like all of the time. Kinda tall, very leggy. Anyway, met her a little after I joined and she got me on this,” she indicated the bottle, “and here I am. I was skeptical at first, but after the first few weeks, I started seeing results. Pants fit looser, bras fit better. Next thing I know, I'm digging out some clothes I ain't seen since the babies.”
Morgan looked at the bottle, then to her. “What is that stuff?”
“Oh, right. Life's Herb. Rhiannon makes weekly orders for us. Once I started losing with it, we started going to the gym. After that, I just didn't have time, what between the babies, Doug, Rhiannon, and my job. But, I knew I had to come see you, to show you me. To show you that you don't have to stay huge forever,” she said as she patted Morgan's knee. Another shock flew at her. “Damn static,” she said.
But Morgan knew better. It was opposing magical forces and Cassie was full of it. That Life's Herb stuff was potent. That only meant one thing: an opposing coven that followed the Spirit of Might were invading their area. There was a truce a while back that these two groups were supposed to adhere, pertaining specifically to where covens could operate freely. Those that followed the Spirit of Fertility got the Midwest (Illinois to Colorado and North Dakota to Oklahoma), the Southwest (Texas to Arizona), and the South (North Carolina to Missouri). The other group got everywhere else, with Alaska and Hawaii as neutral. And this was just the United States chapters.
Might and Fertility followers were once part of the same sect, before Avarice followers started turning Might against Fertility in an effort to make more money back around the 16th century. After that, it was open war on Fertility followers. It was not until the turn of the 20th century that Fertility and Might were able to coexist again, if only by being separated.
But they were here now, trying to arrest control. And they had started with Morgan's final test to become a user.
The magic worked on Cassie had not been Morgan's strongest. Morgan had still been an apprentice then. Now, she was a full-fledged user and having the pregnancy cap on her had contributed to leaps and bounds in Morgan's powers. This Rhiannon was also full-fledged user, Morgan could feel that.
Morgan smiled at Cassie again, this time with a plan in mind. “Bring her to my baby shower in 2 weeks. I want to meet this new influence. Maybe you have a point,” she said, adding emphasis by shaking her belly.
Cassie's bronze face lit up. “You won't regret it, girlfriend. Not one bit. Now, I've got to get to the gym, pounds won't lose themselves!” she said as she got up and headed for the door. However, not before Morgan laid a spell on Cassie. Every time she would finish a Life's Herb drink, she would gain 3 pounds. Let's see this Rhiannon bitch work around that. Nobody messes with my friend on my turf Morgan thought.
As soon as she left, Mama appeared at the door that connects their shops, with a cross look on her rotund face. Mama was a big woman of 353 pounds, her own recent gains very evident to Morgan. Mama's gut was hanging lower and was larger around. She was adorned in a blue shirt and a pair of elastic slacks that fit her well enough, with her black and gray hair tied up in a ponytail. “So, we have a problem it seems.”
Morgan nodded and remained seated. “Yup. What should we do? Alert our group? Try to contact their people, see if she's just off the reservation?”
“Morgan, you'll just have to learn this: always assume war with Might followers. And, no, neither group needs to be alerted to the situation. She's just one user, and trust me, you'd be able to tell if more had shown up. There'd be exercise places on every block if that were the case. She must think you're out here alone too. We can use that to our advantage.”
“Whatcha have in mind, Mama?” Morgan asked.
Mama's fat face broke into a sadistic grin.
