chapter 10

Things changed in the Leer family after that. Lex stopped trying to hide his growing frame, and started enjoying the pigs he and his now boyfriend Pete were becoming. Dan was getting bigger everyday! He was put on bed rest after his surgery, and although he wasn't really resting he hardly ever left the bed, Jen made sure of that. Mr. and Mrs. Leer had a hard time digesting their sons growing situations, but once the realized it might be bad for business if 2 of the 3 Leer children were sporting anything, but 6 packs at the family gym they stopped trying to get them to go.

Pete's parents were thrilled their son was happy and glad that he, in his mother's words, "had dumped that trash, Sarah." They were bummed that Pete was going to have to turn down that water polo scholarship Yale offered, but he wouldn't be much use for them now-a-days. He wasn't even sure he could do a lap in a pool anymore let alone fit into the uniform. But since Pete was going to move in with Lex, Pete's parents were going to save a ton on room and board.

School was getting tough and studying brutal, but they always seemed to have time to spend with one another. Pete got a job to keep up with his living expenses. Lex was paying for the apartment and all, but Pete wasn't able to keep a wardrobe for more then a few months and the larger sizes were getting expensive. He even started leaving the tags on some of his pants and jackets so when he outgrew them he could take them back.

As fast a Pete was growing Lex was growing quicker. He would still admire his tanned hairy body in nearly every reflective surface, but instead of running his hands up and down his chiseled torso and playing with his perfect pecs, he would jiggle his bulging hairy belly and grab his dough like love handles. Every pound that Lex gained seemed to make its presents know somewhere on his furry body. Pete's favorites were when Lex started developing a second chin under his square jawline, and how when Lex laid down his belly started to slosh to the sides.

Dan and Jenna finally set their wedding date, after waiting for Dan's leg to heal, and Lex could hardly believe how his brother looked when he and Pete flew in for the rehearsal dinner. The whole Greek God look Dan managed to maintain into his mid 20's had been obliterated in a little under a year. What Lex saw was a whale of a man well into a 50-inch waist and 3xl shirts. Lex didn't tease much, since he wasn't far behind, but once their other brother, Corey, got there the jokes never stopped coming. Corey was never the bulging muscles type, but his rugged features and lean athletic body did land him on the cover of several magazines and billboards. Needless too say, with his two brothers bulging out of there evening attire, Corey was relentless. Not sure if it was because he had exhausted every fat and out-a-shape joke he knew, or if he stopped making fun of them since his own suit was fitting a little more snug since he arrived, but as the big day approached, Corey laid off the offensive.

Finally with the wedding in full swing and most of the pants buttons intact, everyone was able to enjoy the evening. Lex and Pete were dancing, Dan and Jenna were getting ready to leave for Maui, Corey was obsessively hitting up the buffet and even though Mr. and Mrs. Leer were less then thrilled to see their last "perfect" son starting to expand into his brothers footsteps, they were just glad their three boys were happy.
