chapter 28

A year later, the time had finally come for Aaron to start kindergarten. Kim and Joe were taking him to sign up. Cindy was taking Amelia and they were meeting at school. Derek wasn't able to really leave the house anymore. He had gained another 100+ pounds and stayed in bed most of the time. It was hard on Cindy but she promised to take care of him. When they arrived at school, Joe got Kim's scooter out of the back. She carefully shifted her large body from the car to her scooter. She hadn't done well with losing weight for her knee surgery. It had been more than 18 months since she had walked. She had been putting off her doctor's appointment so she had no idea what she weighed now. She couldn't stop herself from stuffing herself. As they went into school, Aaron was a little nervous but Joe knelt down beside him and told him her promised everything would be great. When they got inside, there were people everywhere. Kim was having trouble getting her scooter down the hall. She told Joe to take him down to the classroom and she would wait there in the hall. She saw her best friend enter the school. Cindy's weight had evened out around 325 lbs. She still had her pear shape and her big double belly. Cindy came and smiled when saw Kim. Kim offered to keep Susie and Lilly while Cindy went down the hall with Amelia. Kim sat on her scooter and played with the two girls. Eventually she saw her handsome husband coming around the corner. He was hard to miss. His belly was a perfect ball. He hadn't put on any weight other than his belly which had outgrown basketball size lately. Kim thought he looked hot, as always. Her sweet Aaron was holding his Dad's hand and smiling as they walked toward her. Aaron proudly told his mom that he did a great job. They stayed there and played with Susie and Lilly. When Cindy got back, Amelia announced that her interview went well too. Joe and Kim asked Cindy if she wanted to come over for dinner. She said she would love it as long as she could take some food home for Derek. When they got to Kim and Joe's house, they paid their nanny and thanked her. Kim and Joe hired a part time nanny to come in a few days per week to help Kim. The friends and all of their kids enjoyed a delicious meal together. Kim didn't get off her scooter for dinner on most nights. Dinner was delicious and Joe packed up a large portion for Derek. He felt bad for Derek and for Cindy. He worried sometimes that Kim could end up confined to bed one day. He loved waiting on her hand and foot but it had gotten more difficult as she got bigger. Even with the part time Nanny, Joe was still doing a lot for the kids and for Kim now. If she ever couldn't get around on her scooter, it would be harder. After Cindy left, Max was very fussy and came over to Kim, pulling at her shirt. He was almost two but he still demanded to nurse several times per day. Kim didn't mind. This was her last baby and plus Joe still enjoyed his special milk when they messed around.
On Aaron's first day of Kindergarten, Joe walked him outside and waited for the bus with him. He told Aaron that he was going to be great and waved as the bus drove off. Kim was helping Tia and the twins get ready for preschool. This was the twins' first day of preschool. The 3 year old class only went two days per week but Kim was looking forward to having two days with Max by herself. After Joe saw Aaron off, he packed Tia and the twins into his car. He ducked back inside to kiss his beautiful wife goodbye. She said she would see him later that night. She enjoyed her first solo day with Max. He was the most chill toddler ever. He could walk but was happiest when he was in his mom's arms. Kim spent a lot of the day cuddling Max. Max nursed several times that day as if he knew he had mom all to herself. Kim mindlessly snacked all day as usual. By dinner time, Joe and the kids were home. While Joe made dinner, Kim talked to the kids about their first day at school. Everyone had great days. When Max turned two, Kim's doctor insisted she come in for a check up or she wouldn't refill her birth control. Kim couldn't drive anymore so she scheduled the appointment on a day that Cindy could take her. Aaron and Amelia were at Kindergarten. Tia, the twins and Susie were at preschool so the Nanny only had to keep Max and Lilly. When she got to the office, Kim was worried about how she would do getting onto the scale and the exam table. She only got out of the scooter to go to bed or do business in the bathroom. She had trouble getting off the scooter and onto the scale. She held on to the handrails and pulled but her weight wouldn't budge. She was sweating and turning red. Cindy helped her to swing her weight toward the scale. Kim made it on to the scale but she didn't think she could let go of the handrails. The nurse said that was fine if she needed to hold on. The scale numbers stopped on 637. Kim couldn't believe she had gained that much weight. The doctor said she would refill the birth control because the last thing Kim's body needed now was another baby. The doctor also warned that when she stopped nursing Max, she would be burning less calories than she is now. Kim thought that was another reason to keep nursing. The doctor asked if Kim was going to try and lose some of her weight. When Joe got home that night, Kim told him about her appointment. Joe's eyes got big when she told him what she weighed. Joe rubbed her belly and said they may have fed that beautiful belly too much lately. Of course her huge belly hung down now but it was also out far in front of Kim and still perfectly round with a very deep belly button. Kim told Joe she wanted to lose weight after the holidays. She knew she couldn't do it now and keep to it through Thanksgiving and Christmas. Joe smiled, thinking about the fact that it was only September now. He knew his wife. She was going to want to eat like crazy between now and January. Joe's parents were going to spend Thanksgiving with his brother who had a new baby. They wanted to come and spend some time with Kim and Joe in October. When Joe's parents arrived, they had both gained more weight. Joe's mom was big all over and his Dad's ball shaped belly had gotten even bigger. Kim and Joe hugged them and the kids were so excited to see their grandparents. They were spending a whole week. Kim and Joe left his parents with the kids an went out for an anniversary date. Kim didn't have many fancy clothes anymore so she put on a stretchy black maternity dress that barely fit over her hips and belly. Joe wore Kim's favorite, a button down shirt and skinny jeans. The buttons strained to keep closed over his belly but he thought they would make it. He pulled up the jeans and fastened the button under his gut. Kim loved it when he did that. His legs and butt were still athletic looking but he had this perfect round gut. It turned her on so much. They went to dinner and were shown to a corner table where Kim could eat from the scooter. Joe ordered a glass of wine and Kim had sparkling water. She lifted her huge flabby arm and proposed a toast. To her husband. The sexiest and best husband and father in the whole wide world. Joe leaned over and kissed her. Joe noticed that Kim had a lot of cleavage exposed in her dress. He asked if she needed to get new bras made again. She turned red and said she probably did. They had a perfect dinner and they went home to have dessert after everyone was in bed. Later that week, Joe insisted that Kim and his mom go to the seamstress. The kids were with the nanny so he and his dad dropped them off the women and went to have a cigar and a beer. When the seamstress saw Kim and Joe's mom, she clapped her hands together. She greeted them with a friendly grin. Kim told her that she had gained a little more weight and needed new bras and maybe a new dress. She told her she was still nursing so probably nursing bras and a nursing dress. Joe's mom wanted to order a custom made bra that could be shipped. While they were waiting, Joe's mom asked Kim how much she weighed now. Kim turned red and told her. Joe's mom asked if she was going to keep going and Kim told her the plan to lose weight after the holidays. She didn't want to end up like Derek or worse. Joe's mom said she understood. She confided in Kim that she and her husband had been gaining mutually for about 8 months. She was up to about 385 pounds and Joe's Dad was about 290 pounds, all belly! Over at the cigar bar, the conversation between the guys was very similar. Joe admitted to his dad that he liked his round belly and that he was worried about Kim becoming less mobile. His dad told him that he was gaining with his mom and they were both really enjoying it but had been talking about stopping soon. Back at the seamstress shop, Kim and Joe's mom were both ordering a few custom made items.
