You know, your Gage breeding post brought up a good point, as a new mom Fem!Sole would have some baby weight on her. So how do think the other companions and raider bosses would react to a doughy Sole?
Cait: Cait thinks its cute as fuck that Sole’s all doughy and squishy. She’s constantly pinching and teasing on her, but it’s really all in good fun. She kinda wishes she had some more meat on her sometimes, more padding for falls if nothing else.
Curie: Curie is also a serial cheek-pincher, and will remark on how “Madame is so cute and, what was the word you said? Squishy?” If Sole ever asked for her medical opinion on it in all seriousness, she would think that Sole looks much healthier than most wastelanders, chub and all. Better to have a bit of fat that malnourished.
Danse: Danse is not gonna say anything, but he is gonna look at the chub when it’s peaking out, or when Sole changes. And he’s gonna say to himself its because he wants them to get into better shape and he’s scolding them internally, but really? He kinda likes it. He’s a bit of a chubby chaser, and he thinks the motherly look is kinda hot.
Deacon: Doesn’t say a word, not even an implication. He has absolutely no room to talk when it comes to people’s looks, he knows that. And he’s more sensitive than he lets on, he’s a little scared to strike a sensitive subject. But all in all, he doesn’t see anything wrong with some nice dough.
Hancock: As someone who has his fair share of leathery skin, he’s almost envious. When he gets high, that’s when he’ll start opening his big mouth about it though, about how his eyes could follow those curves for days, his hands too, if she’d let him. Upon sobering up, if he remembers all the shit he said… he might want her to euthanize him.
Gage: at first he’s a little skeptical of their battle prowess, afraid Sole is too soft in more ways than one. Over time, this gets disproven and she takes the parks, and without those hang ups Gage starts looking at her ample features a little differently. Let’s just say he’s down with the thickness ;)
MacCready: He thinks it’s darling. Won’t say anything about it, but he likes it, especially if he knows it’s baby weight. After Lucy, he kinda has a thing for that look, and it’s fucking hard to come by in the nuclear apocalyptic wasteland. He’s hoping Sole doesn’t lose it too fast.
Nick Valentine:To be honest, it makes him a little sad. To see the plumpness along with the stretch marks, it reminds Nick that Sole is a mother, and that her baby is gone. He’s a sympathetic guy, the classic hardened PI type, he gets really invested in the problems of others.
Old Longfellow:He thinks it looks daaammmnnn fine to be quite honest. He’s another meat lover, and boy is the meaty type rare as fuck these days. It’s very easy to catch him staring, because he’s not going to try to hide it even a little bit. Call it the price for his companionship.
Piper: Yet another cheek-pincher. Piper can be a bit touchy feely compared to a lot of the other companions, and you bet she’ll be cruisin’ for hugs even stronger when you got that doughy figure. The softness, the warmth, it's so perfect! ‘Specially since Nat is getting to that age where she thinks hugs are embarrassing n stuff.
Preston: Sole’s baby weight makes him kinda envious, not of the overall experience of the miracle of motherhood, more about how nice it must have been to have pre-war food security. Things people would literally kill for now Sole could’ve gotten at a local corner store, or even just had in the fridge. What a novelty, wanting an item of food, and having it be accessible.
X6-88: he thinks a lot about how this is the body that carried Father, that so much can be born of a single person, so much history dependent upon whether or not a baby is safely carried. He thinks of the butterfly effect. How something as small as a sip of wine over 200 years ago could have undone his entire existence.
Mason: He loves the meat on Sole. To him it means she’s well fed, able to provide, strong and healthy. And carrying a baby successfully once means she could do it again, maybe. To him it’s just another addition to her resumé, not that he knows what the fuck a resumé is. Just makes him want to make her his mate even more.
Nisha: Quite frankly, when she sees a yield of flesh, under any circumstance, she thinks about what it would look like if someone carved into it. Nothing personal, that’s just how she operates. But she may or may not be thinking of how her fingers could sink into that fat, instead of a blade.
Mags & William: Mags doesn’t like to show weaknesses, but she does have some, and her current secret is that she thinks Sole’s baby chub is… cute. Very cute. And William, sole keeper of her secrets, has to listen to her crow about it after ever meeting between the two of them.
