The familiar colors of Jody's high school decorated the outside of the envelope, and that's what caught her eye. As she walked back up the driveway towards her house, the statuesque brunette shoved the bills and junk mail under her arm and peeled open the envelope. Inside, she found a congratulatory letter that a major reunion was about to happen, and all of the alumni could vote on what they wanted to do. A list of choices accompanied the letter, and Jody sat down to ponder what she'd like to do. Some of the choices seemed silly, turning the reunion into a family vacation, but several of them had promise. After selecting a couple, she decided that a talk with her husband Graham would be the best thing, that way they could pick out next year's vacation idea at the same time. Besides, several of the choices would make great destinations, perhaps they'd be able to extend their stay beyond the reunion. Between the two of them, they chose the Cruise option and sent in the reply card.
They got their confirmation a few weeks later, and neither one of them could have been more happy. The alumni association had tallied the votes, and a Cruise holiday would be it. Jody and Graham had never been on a cruise before, and they were both looking forward to it. Several months before they could go however, they received quite a shock. After not feeling well for several days, Jody visited the doctor and discovered that she was pregnant! While the young couple was overjoyed at the news, they wondered if this would hinder their vacation plans. They thought about it for a few days, and Jody consulted her doctor. She reassured her, saying that as long as her pregnancy progressed without any major complications, and as long as Jody promised not to do anything overly strenuous, then the trip would be fine. Excited by the news, Jody hurried home and continued her planning.
The time before the cruise seemed to rush on by, and before they knew it, Jody and Graham were on their way. Ever since hearing about the reunion, the anticipation was building, mostly for Jody. She hadn't met Graham until later in life, and she wanted to see lots of old school friends again. Additionally, there was always the possibility that she might run into an old boyfriend or two, but neither one of them minded. They were happily married now, and even if they did run into someone who had a past with Jody, it was just that, a past. Besides, such an encounter might even be good for a few laughs. The only potential disappointment for Jody was that she wouldn't be able to show off the killer body she had painstakingly maintained through the years. While she would always have her height, keeping her body fit had always been a battle.
Normally, she was quite successful at it, but in her condition she was giving in a bit. Jody's legs were as long and shapely as ever, but the tight buns that they'd always led up to wasn't quite as firm as it used to be. She wasn't huge, or fat by any stretch of the imagination, rather Jody was giving in to her pregnancy. That meant her belly was swollen as well, for she only had a few more months to go. While she bemoaned the slight increase behind her, there was nothing she could do about the changes her body was undergoing. On the plus side, Jody had never enjoyed having her breasts as full and heavy as they were. It allowed her to show off a little more cleavage, and she was sure that Graham was enjoying her changed body as well. In fact, she had jokingly suggested that she dye her hair a different color as well, so that he could really fantasize about cheating on her. That was a joke that they shared quite often, but neither one of them ever dreamed about straying from their marriage.
The cruise ship that they would be on was fairly new and very well appointed. Jody and Graham made their way to their cabin to drop off their luggage and change into something more comfortable. The reunion itself would officially start later that evening, when the ship was out at sea. Before that time, Jody had the good fortune to run into several of her friends, and they spent most of the afternoon together, lounging out by the pool and catching up on old times. As they lay out there, Jody thought she saw some of the guys she had gone to school with too, eyeing the girls up, just as they had back then. In a way, she was a little self conscious of her appearance, for her swimsuit was designed more for support than to be revealing. Additionally, one of her friends was still drop dead gorgeous and wearing a very revealing bikini. Jody had one on too, primarily to show off her newfound cleavage, but there was no hiding her swollen belly. Still, she thought (and hoped) that despite that, the rest of her body would still be worth checking out. Those thoughts were still occupying her mind that evening, as she and Graham showered and got dressed. Jody even went so far as to ask her husband if he still found her attractive, and the answer was a resounding 'yes'. In fact, his reaction to that question, and the pose she struck to show him what she had very nearly made them miss dinner. While there were whispered promises of relief for Graham's own 'condition' later, it was still rather difficult for him to finish zipping up his pants.
Like any other cruise, the dinner was wonderful and plentiful. Jody was able to reacquaint herself with several old friends, and they spend the majority of the evening laughing and giggling together as they once had. Graham stayed with her briefly, then like so many other spouses, he left his wife's side to circulate around the room and meet new people. Along the way, he struck up a casual conversation with a fellow named Jim at the bar. It was during the course of this little chat that the topic of who was with who came up, and Jim smiled when he heard Jody's name.
He admitted to Graham that he was one of Jody's infamous ex-boyfriends, and they shared a laugh at that. Perhaps because of each man's status in Jody's life, they got along quite well, and it was clear to both that a friendship might be fast forming. In such company, Graham's evening progressed rapidly, and soon both men noticed that the crowd was thinning. They decided together that it would be a great opportunity for Jody to finally catch up with an ex, and they left the bar in search of her. Jim was quite anxious to see the girl he had once dated all grown up, and Graham was relieved that at least one of his wife's formers wasn't the scum bag that he had mentally made them all out to be.
Together the two men made their way back towards the table where Graham had last seen Jody. Sure he hadn't been by her side most of the night, but she had been reminiscing with her girlfriends, and he didn't want to intrude. After he had been sitting with her for awhile, she had told him to go mingle, wouldn't she be surprised now to see who he was with! The only trouble was, Jody wasn't there. In fact, none of the girls he had left her with were present, but Graham spied several handbags and things that looked vaguely familiar. While he and Jim were pondering what to do, and where to go next, one of Jody's friends came over and tapped Graham on the shoulder. "You're Graham, right? Jody's husband?" she asked.
