chapter 7

No health consequences could deter Mandy from indulging her impulses. She ate her way to just over 1,000 pounds by the time Amy was 22, and was diabetic and on a litany of medications to keep her alive. Amy would visit her once or twice a month, always feeling obligated to bring cigarettes, wine, and food. She would always be in the same half-reclined position, her arms splayed out to her sides as her belly bulged outward. Her size was almost indescribable, her belly so big it seemed to pin her back against the bed. Her calves and feet poked out from underneath the gigantic ball of fat she called a stomach. The slightest movement caused her fat-covered arms to jiggle softly. Her neck was non-existent. She always had a plate of food propped up on her belly and a two liter of soda in arm's reach.

"Hi... Sweetie..." She gasped lazily, as if the words were too much effort.

"Hey Aunty!" Amy replied, leaning in and kissing her on the cheek.

Amy had a seat at her aunt's bedside and helped herself to two slices of meat lover's pizza. She let out a heavy grunt of relief as she collapsed into the chair, her 500+ pounds of fat sending a small tremor through the room. Mandy couldn't help but smile at her obese niece, marveling at what a big, fat, piggie she'd grown into.

"I love your top, Amy! You're so pretty!" Mandy gushed as she piled more pizza onto her plate.

"Thanks! I found this great site online that sells clothes in custom sizes..." Amy replied.

KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK!

"Come in!" Mandy mumbled, her mouth full of grease, cheese, and meat.

Mandy's live-in nurse, a plump young woman named Denise, came into the bedroom. She had blonde hair and a warm smile, blue eyes, and weighed around 250 pounds. She still had something of an hourglass figure to her, even though her belly poked out just beyond her heavy, eye-catching, breasts.

"Hey girls! Mandy, it's time for your insulin, OK?" Denise said cheerily.

"Mmm..." Mandy grunted indifferently, still very much enraptured with her food.

"OK..." Denise said before getting to work.

Amy couldn't help but stare as Denise sat down on the bed, nestling herself in the small amount of free space remaining between Mandy's legs that hadn't been swallowed up by her ever-expanding belly. She grabbed the bottom of Mandy's pink housedress and rolled it halfway up her belly, all while Mandy continued to stuff herself without a care in the world. Amy's eyes bulged wide at the sight of her Aunt's massive stomach, which puffed slowly in and out with each heaving breath. It was so perfectly round. There were some very light, barely visible, stretch marks on the sides of it, but other than that, Mandy's belly was very well maintained.

"I can't get over this big belly of yours, Mandy!" Denise said playfully, giving it an affectionate jiggle.

"Hahumhumhummmm..." Mandy giggled through a mouthful of food.

"OK, sweetheart, let's get you situated..." Denise said, returning to the task at hand. She pulled a hypodermic needle out of a black bag and wiped a small spot on Mandy's belly with an alcohol wipe. She then uncapped the needle and sunk the tip deep into her flesh, barely provoking a slight grunt from Mandy as it entered her. She pushed the plunger all the way down and wiped the site with another wipe before giving Mandy's belly another playful pat and pulling her housedress back down.

"Thanks, Denise." Mandy said before taking another ravenous bite.

"No problem, sweetheart. Gimme a holler if you need anything." Denise replied before leaving the room.

"She's so good to me. It was so hard finding a nurse that wasn't so judgmental, y'know?" Mandy said as she lit a cigarette.

"Mhm..." Amy replied.

"Oh! Speaking of judgmental, how's your mother?" Mandy asked.

"Ha... Um... She's good..."

"Oh, Amy, you know I'm only joking. I still love my little sister. Even if she doesn't approve of my lifestyle choices..."

"She still loves you, too, Aunty. She's just... I don't know... She doesn't understand."

"Well, I can certainly see why she wouldn't. I don't hold it against her..."

Amy nodded as she stuffed a piece of crust into her mouth. She watched the fat on Mandy's blubbery arms roll up as she shoveled pizza into her mouth. The way she ate was almost robotic in its efficiency. She would fold the slice down the middle, take two big bites, then stuff the entire crust into her mouth to finish it off. Amy watched her eat four large pizzas before pulling her cell phone out of her cleavage and calling her personal chef, Lisa.

"Hey, Lisa. We're all done with those pizzas, you wanna bring me in both those trays of lasagna? With garlic bread? Thanks, sweetie." Mandy said into the phone.

Lisa brought two big trays of lasagna into Mandy's room on a cart, along with two loaves of garlic bread and a few bottles of wine. Both the lasagna and garlic bread was pre-cut for Mandy, who immediately piled three slices of each onto her plate and rested it on her big belly. All those pizzas she'd just eaten hadn't quite hit the spot, apparently, as she stuffed herself with the voracity of an Ethiopian at an all you can eat buffet. Amy had a slice herself but found she lost her appetite as she watched her Aunt's incredible gluttony.

Lisa left shortly after giving Mandy her lasagna. She worked from 10 AM to 6 PM, with Mike taking over on feeding and cooking duties in the off time. By 10 PM Mandy was pretty drunk and just finishing off a family sized tub of chocolate chip cookies.

KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK!

"Come in!" Mandy shouted.

"Hey girls. I come bearing gifts..." Uncle Mike said, presenting them with a big chocolate cheesecake.

"Ooooooooh my favorite!!!" Mandy gushed.

"You want a slice, Amy?" Uncle Mike asked.

"Um, no thank you, I'm not hungry." Amy replied.

"You sure, sweetie? It's so good!" Mandy said.

"Yeah, thanks though." Amy said.

Mike cut a huge slice, nearly a quarter of the entire cake, and handed it to Mandy along with a spoon. Mandy's eyes sparkled with excitement as she propped the plate up on her belly and dug in.

"Mmmmmmmmmmmm...." Mandy moaned as she sensually pulled the spoon from her mouth.
Mike got into bed and snuggled up with Mandy, resting his head on her pillow-like shoulder and giving her belly an affectionate pat and quick jiggle. He smiled as he watched his wife devour her favorite dessert with the speed of a professional competitive eater. When she finished the slice, she handed the plate to Mike.

"Feed me, baby. My arms are too tired." She begged him.

"All that reaching and eating and chewing must get exhausting, huh? I don't know how you do it all day, babe." Mike teased her.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah..." Mandy replied, chuckling.

Mike brought the rest of the cake into bed with him and began feeding Mandy with one hand and slowly rubbing her belly with the other. Amy could tell they genuinely loved each other as she saw the way Mike looked at Mandy, and vice versa. Though their relationship was obviously bizarre, she thought it was cute and inspiring that they had found each other and lived such a happy life together.

"You love your cheesecake, don't you?" Mike
asked her.

"Mmmhhhhmmm..." Mandy replied.

"Who's my big piggy? Huh? Who's my big piggy?" He asked her playfully.

"Meeee..." Mandy replied, giggling.

"Oh that's right. That's right!" Mike growled, smacking and jiggling Mandy's belly on each syllable.

Amy felt awkward as her Aunt and Uncle began to make out, briefly stopping every few seconds so Mandy could eat more cheesecake. She watched her Uncle grope Mandy's fat, rub her belly, and slowly make his way towards her breast when she swatted his hand away.

"That's enough, you. We've made Amy feel awkward enough already!" Mandy said.

"Hehe, sorry Amy. Got a little carried away." Mike said.

"Oh, it's alright, I was gonna get going anyway." Amy said.

As Amy got busier and busier (as well as bigger and bigger) she found it more difficult to make time for her Aunt. As she sat in her hospital bed she realized it'd been over a year since she last saw her, and that she was just a few pounds away from reaching the weight she was at when she became bedridden. Her stomach ached with hunger as she stared out the window, contemplating the very serious decision she had to make...
