“Ok… who, sitting here, is the person you most want to eat?”
Laughing, Taryn licked her lips, pink tongue sliding slowly across as her stomach sloshed below. Meeting each of your eyes, you, Freddy, Bernie, Rudy, and Terry, she patted her gurgling stomach and said “… If I could pick anyone… it would be my big brother Bernie…” smiling broadly as her stomach growled its agreement, “… but since he seems to be taken… I guess I’ll have to settle for my little brother…” she finishes, eyeing Freddy hungrily as she winks and blows the now paling boy a kiss.
“You… you won’t really…? Right… Taryn…?” He asks, shaking.
“Well, it’s only a couple of months until I turn eighteen. I guess you’ll find out then,” she says sweetly, smiling at him as she settles back into the couch, rolling on her back and patting her soft belly, still stretched with whatever was left of her dinner.
You don’t miss Bernie reaching around behind Alexa to place a hand on Freddy’s arm as Madelyn leans forward to draw a card. But you also don’t miss the flat look Alexa gives him as he does. Bernie must know as well as you do, and as well as Freddy himself does, that if Taryn decides he’s shit, then he is as good as shit.
“Oh, I got another blank one. Who shuffled?”
“It happens sometimes…” Leah grumbled. “Just spin.”
“Fine.” Madelyn reached forward, her weight pressing down on her meal as she did, a wet and awful crunch coming from her gut as it suddenly collapsed. “Oh, guess that was too much for him,” she joked, as the screaming finally stopped. At least now you only had to listen to the quiet gurgles and sloshing from most of the stomachs. Alexa’s meal was still shaking and sobbing, but the flesh of her stomach muted that a great deal, and you’d heard only a few real screams from him so far.
“Ok… looks like you get to ask me a question now, Taryn…” Madelyn says as Taryn looks up eagerly, head propped up on a pillow resting against Miranda’s side.
“When are you going to divorce Ben?” Taryn asks, poking Madelyn’s stomach with her foot. “Like Aunt Kari said, he seems pretty useless as a husband. You should just get rid of him. We could make it a party.”
