Madeline and I met up at a coffee shop down the street from her house, as she wasn't in a condition to drive very far at the moment. I hadn't seen her since the "One Year Reunion" party our group of college friends had had a little less than a year ago now; we were all nearly two years out of school by the point of this rendezvous. Madeline and her husband Mike (another college friend of mine) were expecting their first child in the next month or so, Madeline being 35 weeks into her pregnancy.
It was exciting stuff, as she'd be the first from our friend group to have a baby. And for me, especially exciting as I have a raging fetish for pregnant women. To be clear, I by no means had any sexual ulterior motives for a friendly meet-up; I was just thrilled to be spending some quality time with a pregnant lady for the first time in my life. The most I would let myself hope for was a glimpse of bare belly, though I doubted even that would come to pass in public. Really, it would just be thrilling to be in the presence of and in conversation with someone pregnant. I barely slept the night before, I was so looking forward to our little get-together.
I got there 45 minutes early, because of course I did. She entered just on time, waving once she spotted me at our table in the back corner. Wearing a big, puffy black coat, her pregnancy was noticeable but not exactly eye-grabbing; I assumed she'd take the garment off momentarily, and I eagerly looked forward to getting a better look at her. She walked over, lifting her arms up to come in for a hug as she got close.
I stood and embraced her, very much feeling the firmness of her round midsection through her thick coat and other wintry layers. This visit was already a success, I thought. The firm belly kept me from getting too close to her; we both had to lean forward to get arms around each other at all. I wondered if I'd feel the baby move, but that was probably impossible through the layers. Feeling the amazing firmness of her bump, I had the first non-platonic feelings for her that I'd ever had. Luckily, we ended the hug after 4 or 5 seconds, well before I may have become noticeably aroused.
Madeline removed her coat to sit down. She was wearing a thick sweater and relaxed jeans, pregnancy curves minimized across the board. Damn it. The bump was more pronounced than it had been in the coat, but not nearly pronounced enough for my liking. Our waitress headed over to us when she saw Madeline sit, taking her order for a decaf vanilla latte. Just thinking about the fact that the pregnancy made her have to order decaffeinated drinks got me going a little bit. I may have been too excited about everything, but I thought I could keep it to myself adequately.
We engaged in some small talk about jobs, what we've been watching and reading, other friends: boring, non-pregnancy-related topics that I won't bother to go into in any detail here. "My maternity leave started this week," she suddenly had my full and undivided attention. "It's about time, I can barely move at this point. So, so exhausted all the time. And cumbersome as hell. I've been knocking things off people's desks for months, it just gets worse and worse as I grow. Embarrassing even after dozens of times, unfortunately." That was enough to get me fully hard (for the first of many times during our time together), and I was very glad to be wearing tight, erection-hiding jeans.
"So how are you feeling, generally?" I managed to ask as the conversation hit a slight lull due to my quiet excitement.
She frowned and shook her head slightly. "Shitty?" Madeline laughed. "That's a bit of a simplification, obviously, but...yeah, kinda shitty, honestly. Swollen and achy absolutely everywhere, for one. Then there's the kicking, which starts off being a cool thing to feel inside you and everything, but at this point, with the baby as big as it is and so little room to move around in there? It's just really uncomfortable. Can't sleep, can't really relax. So very much discomfort." She fell silent, then forced her frustrated facial expression into a smile. "It is really cool to not only feel the baby move, but be able to see it move under my skin at this point. Wanna see, if it happens? And feel, of course..."
I could hardly believe my luck; I had to concentrate to keep my jaw from dropping. She was going to let me get a touch in?! "Y-yeah, sure! It does seem really cool. Sorry it hurts, though. That sounds shitty indeed."
"Uhhhh," she groaned, gripping her belly in both hands. "Speaking of getting kicked in shitty places: I've gotta pee pretty much immediately. Excuse me for a minute, Kyle?" I nodded and she rose out of her chair with a gravid moan and a hand on her lower back, proceeding to rush off to the ladies' room. Watching her waddle with all the speed she could muster was another amazing sight to behold. This had already been a more than worthwhile visit, I thought. And I remained hopeful that a belly touch was yet to come...
Madeline returned after two or three minutes, groaning back into her chair as both hands lifted her sizable bump up to prevent it shoving into the lip of the table. "I'm sorry, Kyle," she said with a sigh. "I feel like I've been nothing but negativity, you know?"
I shook my head, hopefully reassuringly. "No, no, it's okay, really. I think this is, among many other things, your special time to be allowed to complain as much as you please."
