Birth Advent Calendar 22 - Day 6
Caio has always been on the fitness side of life. If there was something he took way much care of, it was his physique.
He was lucky, he was the prototype of a nice body: tall, naturally strong and always in shape despite the little effort.
So when he started gaining weight, all of sudden and apparently from nowhere, to say he was whining and huffing about it was an understatement.
It wasn't that noticeable at first; just his thighs becoming a little softer, his arms a bit more flappy instead of firm and toned, and then his abs slowly disappearing.
He wasn't even that mad about it at first, he still looked good with a few more kilograms than intended.
But then his stomach started to swell, even when he tried his hardest not to: he started a more than strict diet, worked out almost seven days a week and stopped drinking any kind of alcohol.
Still, that stubborn fat that now started to settle around his hips and stomach wasn't going away that easily.
And then the months went away, and the more he tried to get all that stubborn fat to go away, the more his body seemed to laugh at him and make it worse.
His clothes stopped fitting, and having to get new ones was the most embarrassing thing, and then the new ones stopped fitting and Caio simply lost it.
He could barely look down at his own feet without his belly getting in the way.
Sure, he maybe was eating a bit more, but not so much to make him look… almost pregnant.
His stomach, now so huge that it was barely covered by his usual shirts, rested usually naked in front of him.
At home, he was just shirtless. And when he had to go outside, he would try to wear loose shirts, big sweaters, anything that would hide the disaster his body became.
Too busy with all the dieting and all the exercise, not once did it cross his mind the night he spent with his co-worker eight months ago. A quick, raw meeting after work that had both of them too horny to care for protection.
Maybe the idea crossed his mind once or two, on this desperate journey of trying to get back in shape, but as soon as Caio thought about it, he pushed it far into the back of his mind.
He wasn't pregnant. And all that uncomfortable movement that came paired with the weight gain? Probably just some gas.
Caio lifted his leg on the couch with a groan, moving —as best as he could— to tie his shoes. Even the most simple of the task became almost impossible over the months with that unwanted belly.
Then the other foot. Once he was ready with both feet, he zipped up the only one of his Nike jackets that still fitted comfortably and made his way to the door.
He was stopped by one of those back pains that had been bothering him for the past few days.
"Fuck…" Caio groaned, his hand moving to massage his back when the cramp didn't go away.
He didn't feel like running today, in fact, he felt awful today.
His whole body ached, his feet were killing him and then there were the cramps and the back pain that had been bothering him so much these days.
But if there was something else Caio didn't lose in these months was his discipline. He wasn't one for skipping his days of workout, and he was gonna run today.
The run started to feel like a bad decision when his aching back and upset stomach had him bending over himself, stopping every few steps to catch his breath.
He felt like he was going to puke his guts any moment now.
He rushed to sit down on the first bench he saw, and he was glad that there was no one around to see him like that.
One of his hands moved to caress his tight stomach, trying to ease whatever that was going inside, and his free hand moved to massage his back. Another cramp.
Taking a deep breath, Caio leaned forward, his eyes closed while he waited for the pain to pass.
After a minute, when the pain subsided, he forced himself to stand again, trying to start jogging again.
His effort lasted little because soon, the feeling of something making its way down his pelvis made him stop dead in his tracks.
Something was trying to come out of him.
Panic gripped him. Did he need a bathroom?
Well, fuck off. There was no way anything was coming out of him right now.
Taking a shaky breath, Caio forced his legs to move again, trying to go as fast as he could back to his apartment, ignoring the growing discomfort in his middle.
Every step was harder than the last one, and Caio was unable to point out what was wrong.
When he reached the last street before his apartment, his body forced himself to stop when a particularly hard cramp took over his bloated stomach.
Leaning against a lamppost, Caio breathed deeply, closing his eyes while he massaged his stomach.
The moment he was ready to start walking again, another cramp hit. Caio let out a loud whimper.
A gush of water flooded between his legs, staining his new pair of pants and his new shoes, and Caio looked down in total awe.
"The fuck…?" he panicked, trying to look down past his stomach.
He didn't have a single moment to catch his breath, because soon something was coming out of him and his own body was pushing.
"Fuck!" the man cried, feeling how his body wasn't obeying his wishes of keeping inside whatever was inside of him.
With trembling legs, Caio forced himself to keep moving. He needed to reach home somehow.
The man walked-waddled his way home with an uncomfortable and unknown weight between his legs, trying to come out.
When he barely reached the door to his building, Caio stumbled inside, letting out a loud moan as soon as he was alone.
He cursed his landlord for not fixing the elevator yet, and with a quiet whimper, Caio fought his way to the stairs.
As soon as he tried to climb one step higher than a knee, he felt a burning sensation between his legs, and his body forced him down to a squat.
When the need to just let go and push was so overwhelming that he couldn't even crawl, he decided to give up.
As soon as he decided to cooperate with his body, allowing the pressure between his legs to start coming out, he let out another scream as the impossibly huge weight made its way out of his hole.
With desperate hands Caio reached to pull his pants down, reaching inside his underwear to find... a head?
Caio screamed out again when the head kept making his way out, and he reached to pull his legs back, giving into pushing.
"Fuck! Oh, fuck!" he cried, his voice breaking as he kept pushing.
He didn't even know where to begin to explain how a baby was crowning between his legs, but it was happening, and fast. With another push, the head came out of him with a gush of birth fluid.
Caio had to force his legs wide apart and keep pushing.
The rest of the body took him even more effort, but soon, he found himself staring at the crying baby in front of him.
The initial shock was soon replaced by a tiny happiness. He had some calls to make to let his co-fuckbuddy-worker know that he left some extra work with Caio.
