It was morning, and the birds were chirping, and the sun was shining through the curtains as she y on her mattress.

  The outfit Tessa wore at Isadora's yesterday was in complete ruin. Her blue blouse burst open, and her corset was on the ground. Her panties and bck leather pants were hanging off her ankle.

  'I'm naked? But my bed is dry. Argh, was it just a dream?' Tessa thought, as her once nimble body was now covered in a yer of fat.

  Her breasts were swollen and leaking milk, and her navel was bloated.

  "Wha-what happened?" Tessa asked, sitting up and covering her naked body.

  'My belly is bigger, and I can't stand. Huh? Where's my armor?' Tessa thought, rubbing her pregnant belly.

  Tessa's breasts were massive, and they were leaking milk, which mystified her.

  "Oh, no... Don't tell me that the Sacred Fertility Waters have taken root!..." Tessa groaned as she buried her face in a pillow.

  'Fuck, that weird dream must have been because of the fucking Sacred Water. Of all the times it had to take root. And now my breasts are leaking, and I'm going to have a kid. Ugh, I don't even know how to raise a kid. Shit, now I have to quit being an adventurer and get a real job. Fuck!' Tessa cursed in her mind.

  'I'd better get some new clothes and find Isadora. She'll help me, or I'll be so annoying until she does,' Tessa thought, looking through her clothes for something that will fit.

  Her legs were wobbly at first until she got used to her wider hips and D-Cup breasts.

  "Ugh... I'm not going to miscarry this time, aren't I... That is for sure," Tessa said, as her hands were resting on her navel.

  She made her way to her wardrobe and rummaged through her things, and the only thing that fit her was a bathrobe.

  "You got to be shitting me... Ugh... Oh! I know! Genna is a bigish woman. Maybe I can borrow some clothes from her," Tessa said while putting on the robe.

  "Okay... Let's see if she's up and in the kitchen," Tessa said, leaving her rental unit.

  When Tessa came out into the hallway of the Inn, her nose was assaulted with the smell of cooked meat.

  "Mmmm. It smells delicious. What is she cooking?" Tessa asked, rubbing her slightly bloated stomach through her bathrobe.

  The hallway was empty, and Tessa didn't have to worry about people seeing her in her bathrobe.

  'Good! No one is up, besides Genna. I need to get some new clothes fast,' Tessa thought, as the stairs were coming closer.

  As Tessa descended the stairs, the smell of cooked food was getting stronger.

  *GROAN!*

  "Argh, my stomach is rumbling again," Tessa groaned, feeling hungry. "I feel like I could eat a horse."

  When she reached the bottom of the steps, she could see that Genna was cooking breakfast.

  'Gods, I hope Genna doesn't give me any guff about how big I am. It's not my fault that this is the first time I'm going to carry the kid to term. Fuck, I have to tell her and the others what happened.' Tessa thought, making her way to the bar.

  "Hey, Genna," Tessa said, standing next to the bar.

  "Oh, hey, Tess. You're up early," Genna said, flipping a piece of meat. She was paying attention to the stove, but her ears were listening.

  "Yeah, I need to talk to you," Tessa said nervously.

  "Really? Why do you need to talk to me?" Genna asked, taking a gnce, and her eyes widened when she saw Tessa's voluptuous body and long blonde golden hair that reached her ass.

  "Well... The thing is... I think the fertile waters have taken root inside me, and I don't know what to do. So, can you loan me some clothes?" Tessa asked.

  Genna couldn't help but look Tessa up and down, and then her eyes were locked on her belly, which was in the early stages of pregnancy.

  "I-I can't believe that the Sacred Waters were able to get into your system. When did this happen?" Genna asked, shocked.

  "Ugh... I got drunk a few days back, and the Priestesses came into the pub offering 50 gold pieces if I accepted the Sacred Fertility Waters... And like I said, I was drunk, so I thought it wouldn't be that uncomfortable. B-But then yesterday I started getting hungrier, and my body was sore. Then my chest was leaking milk, and now I'm like this. Argh, I think I'm pregnant," Tessa expined with a pout that made Genna want to ugh.

  "So, that expins why you have such a big appetite. And you're leaking milk. Are your breasts sore?" Genna asked, putting the cooked meat onto the pte and turning off the stove.

  "They're not as sore, but I can't wear my clothes... Can I borrow some of yours? I can pay you," Tessa said.

  Genna smirked and made a pte for herself and Tessa.

  "I'll let you borrow my clothes, but you don't have to pay me," Genna said, walking around the bar and pulling up a stool.

  "Thank you, Genna. I really appreciate this," Tessa said.

  Genna's eyes were locked on Tessa's rge breasts, and her nipples were poking through her robe.

  'When I was pregnant with Heather. I wasn't this big after a few days,' Genna thought as she examined Tessa some more. The adventurer was too distracted by her food to notice the older woman's gaze. 'I was her size in my third trimester... Well, except for her stomach. Suppose I hadn't seen her before, I would have thought that Tessa was naturally a curvy girl. And it wasn't like her chest was small to begin with, but now they are a massive size, and her rear end is huge.'

  "Mmmm. This is delicious," Tessa moaned, eating a strip of meat. She was blissfully unaware of Genna's eyes locked on her.

  "Here. Have some water. You have to stay hydrated. Also, you're going to have a baby, and you need to get some exercise. We can go shopping ter and get you some clothes that fit. But for now, we'll get you some loose-fitting clothes. Do you need help getting dressed?" Genna asked.

  "Yeah, please. I feel like my conscience can't take that blow," Tessa said, blushing.

  "It's fine. Don't worry. After breakfast, we'll get you dressed, and then you'll be good to go for a few months," Genna said, finishing her pte and standing up.

  "Huh? What do you mean?" Tessa asked.

  "Hehe. You'll see," Genna said, smirking.

  "Um, okay..." Tessa said, confused.

  'Something tells me that this is going to suck,' Tessa thought.

  After breakfast, the girls went upstairs to Genna's bedroom, where she pulled out an old maternity dress.

  "W-Why are you giving me a dress? I can't wear that. I-I'll look so stupid," Tessa said, shaking her head.

  "Hahaha. It's not that bad. Besides, it will give you the room to grow, and you won't have to worry about buying more clothes. Trust me, this dress was expensive," Genna said.

  "I don't want to know what a dress like that costs. Fine, but don't ugh," Tessa said, blushing.

  "Trust me. I've seen many women wearing dresses like that. Come, I'll help you," Genna said, pulling off her robe and revealing her nakedness.

  'Ugh! I must look like a pig. My tits are huge, and my navel is sticking out. And now I'm going to look ridiculous,' Tessa thought.

  Genna, on the other hand, was a bit jealous. 'Even with all her curves, her fat looks firm. It's like she doesn't have any fb on her. How the hell did she get so big and firm in a matter of days? She's only in the early stages. Ugh, I'm getting annoyed. Maybe a dip in the ke would do me good.'

  "I'm ready," Tessa said.

  "Okay, step into the dress. And I'll pull it up for you," Genna said, grabbing the dress and holding it open for Tessa.

  Tessa stepped into the dress, and Genna pulled it up, and she pulled the top half over Tessa's head and helped her pull her arms through the sleeves.

  The green maternity dress had built-in support for a woman's breasts when it was buttoned up.

  'Damn, her boobs are so big,' Genna thought, as she struggled to button up the top of the dress.

  "You're so big. I can barely get this buttoned," Genna said, struggling with the second-to-st button.

  "I-Is that normal? My boobs have never been this big. They were only a B-Cup a few days ago. I've never seen them this big," Tessa said, cupping her massive breasts and feeling them. The firmness surprised her as she kneaded her chest, and no matter how much she pushed, her tits stayed perky.

  'Ugh! These things won't stay down. How did this happen?' Tessa wondered as she was groping herself. Not realizing that her nipples were hardening, she tented the material in front of her dress.

  "Hehe, are you enjoying yourself?" Genna asked.

  "No! Of course not. Ugh, just hurry," Tessa said, her face red. She quickly moved her hands away from her tits.

  "Okay, okay," Genna said as she finished with the st button, and it was snug around Tessa's chest. For some reason, Tessa enjoyed the pressure around her bust.

  "Done. And it's tight. Hehe, now the dress has a good hold on you and your tits," Genna said, stepping back.

  "Ugh... I barely fit in your old dress," Tessa compined.

  "Oh, shut up. Now, take a look. It's not that bad. In fact, the color looks good on you," Genna said.

  "It's too long," Tessa said while walking around as the long, flowing skirt swished around her ankles.

  "So, you're going to be pregnant. It's not like you're going to be doing much moving around. Besides, the loose sleeves and the long length are comfortable," Genna said, watching Tessa move around the room.

  "Ugh, fine. I feel like I'm a proper dy or something. This feels too nice," Tessa said, twirling around in the dress.

  Genna smirked at her whining, but then she noticed that Tessa's golden hair needed some attention.

  "Wait. Your hair is a mess," Genna said, brushing Tessa's long hair.

  "Ahh! What are you doing?" Tessa asked, looking back.

  "Your hair is a mess. Hold still," Genna said.

  Genna ran the brush through Tessa's golden hair, brushed out the knots, then braided her long hair and tied the end.

  "There. That looks better," Genna said.

  Tessa touched her braid, and it felt smooth and silky.

  'W-Was my hair this shade of blonde?... Well, maybe getting pregnant isn't all bad. I just won't say that aloud or people will think that I'm insane because I'm more excited about my hair than the baby,' Tessa thought, smiling.

  "Now, let's go into town and get you some more clothes. I don't have too many of my maternity clothes left, and we're not the same size. Hehe, besides. I think your breasts will be bigger than mine," Genna said, leading her outside the inn.

  'That is not something to boast about,' Tessa thought, following her with a frown written on her face. Tessa thought her breasts were big enough, and the idea of them growing bigger didn't appeal to her. But the high-quality material of the colred green dress that was squeezing her breasts made her feel comfortable, and the loose skirt allowed her to walk without it clinging to her thighs.

  'I guess this isn't too bad. I could get used to it,' Tessa thought as her breasts bounced with each step.

  It took a few hours, but the girls managed to get all the clothing and accessories that Tessa needed, and she was in a good mood.

  "Hehe. That wasn't that bad," Tessa said, carrying two bags in each hand.

  Normally, sending her money on clothes seemed like a stupid investment, but her mood was lifted when she tried on a few outfits, and they looked great on her.

  "You had fun. I'm gd. I miss shopping with my daughter," Genna said.

  "Really?... Is she in one of the academies? Or is she living on her own?" Tessa asked.

  "She's in one of the academies. She's fifteen, and she won't get out until she graduates at 18. Heather was so excited to get her acceptance letter. It was hard seeing her leave, but I'm proud of her," Genna said, smiling.

  "You don't talk much about your daughter. So, I wasn't sure. I never enjoyed my time in the academy. I didn't want to be a knight or anything. The csses were boring, and the only thing that got me through the day was having my friends there. And after three years, I was ready to get out," Tessa said.

  "Well, it's not like your life is set. You can always change jobs. I mean, your life is going to change, now that you are—"

  Genna's words were cut short as she noticed priestesses of the Church of Risphina. They were dressed in red and gold robes, and they were grabbing eligible women off the street and injecting them with the Sacred Fertility Water of the goddess. The young women screamed in pain as they used the Divining Rod on them. And the other thing that caught her attention was when a pregnant woman was taken by them and put in a carriage that had a few other pregnant women inside it.

  Tessa heard the screams as well and looked in the direction, and felt a sense of dread wash over her as a memory of her dream of Evan came back to her.

  'Run to you, friend Isadora. She can protect you from the Risphina Harvesters,' Evan's voice said in her mind.

  'What?! W-Why should I run? And what the fuck is the Church of Risphina doing?... Huh!?' Tessa felt Genna grab her arm and walk down an alley in a hurry.

  "We need to move! Quick!" Genna said, dragging Tessa along.

  "W-Why?" Tessa asked, confused.

  "If those Priestesses get a hold of you, then you will be forced into the monastery. They did this 20 years ago when the church was worried about the popution declining. I was lucky that I miscarried at the time, but my friend was taken, and she said that it was miserable there. She said that the women were forced to pray and ate nothing but bread and water. They think that indulging in other foods is the reason for why we haven't been able to produce more children," Genna said, walking down the tight alley.

  "T-They can't do that! That's absurd!" Tessa shouted, shocked.

  "Shhh. Keep your voice down," Genna hissed as she stopped to peek around the corner.

  "Sorry... But what the fuck is wrong with these crazy ass people?" Tessa asked.

  "I don't know. The Church of Risphina has changed so much, and it's scary. We have to be careful. And since the Kingdom has been allowing the Church to do this, then there is no way to stop them unless you are employed by a noble house," Genna expined.

  Tessa's eyes lit up, "My friend, Isadora, is the daughter of a Baroness... If we can make it to her estate, then I'll be safe."

  "Baroness Elizabeth of house Estragon. She's a very kind dy... You are friends with her daughter?" Genna asked, curious.

  "Yes. Me, Bethany, and Isadora grew up in the academy together. I thought I could use her as a meal ticket to a better life, but then I became friends with her, and I didn't want to ruin it," Tessa expined.

  "Huh, so your academy life did help you," Genna said, sarcastically.

  "Shut up. If it weren't for those two, I would have dropped out after the first year," Tessa admitted.

  "I'm joking. Let's go," Genna said and walked through the alley.

  ***

  The dies snuck through the back streets and alleys and finally reached the edge of the Noble District.

  "Here. Put on the hood of the cloak. It should keep your face hidden from the Priestesses," Genna said, as Tessa pulled the hood over her head and gnced down the street, which had a group of five Priestesses walking around and searching for eligible women to inject the sacred white water into them.

  'This is not good. They are blocking the main entrance,' Tessa thought, as Genna moved back.

  "Genna, they are by the gate. I have no way to get past them without them noticing," Tessa said.

  "Hmm... I see..." Genna whispered as she looked around the corner. "I think I can cause a distraction. But you'll be on your own."

  "What are you going to do?" Tessa asked, nervous.

  "Leave it to me. Get ready to move," Genna said, walking toward the street.

  "G-Genna, wait," Tessa whispered.

  Genna moved into the street and ran across the path of the Priestesses, knocking two of them over.

  "OOF! Oh, my! I'm SO sorry. I'm running te," Genna shouted, as she struggled to get up, pinning the priestesses under her.

  "Get off us! We're trying to do our Goddess' work," the Priestess shouted.

  "Oh, my apologies. Here, let me help you—Oof! Oh, I'm so clumsy. Please forgive me," Genna said, pushing her chest into one of the Priestesses' faces.

  'This is my chance. Go!' Tessa told herself. She took a deep breath and bolted out of the alley and sprinted down the street as fast as her legs could take her.

  The Priestesses were distracted by Genna's actions that they didn't even notice Tessa until she was gone.

  "Hey! One of them got past us!" A Priestess shouted.

  "Ugh! Shove this fat cow off of me," Another Priestess shouted.

  "Oof, that's no way to talk to a dy who gave birth to a child. Hehe, I'm not that heavy," Genna said, standing up.

  "Halt! Woman in the cloak, stop where you are!" A priestess shouted.

  "Crap. I think they saw me," Tessa said, running faster. Isadora's manor wasn't far away, and she was hoping that her friend could help her.

  "Stop," a priestess shouted, giving chase.

  Luckily, Tessa had a big head start, but her wider hips and bigger breasts made it hard for her to move as fast as she used to.

  'Why am I so fat!?' Tessa thought, frustrated as her green maternity dress was fighting to contain her tits.

  The priestess was gaining some ground on her, and Tessa kicked it up a notch and started to breathe hard.

  "Just a bit farther," Tessa said, reaching the gate of Isadora's home.

  "Hey, open the gate! Hurry," Tessa said, smming her fists into the iron bars.

  "Who are you?" The guard asked.

  "A friend of Isadora's. Open the gate. I'm being chased," Tessa said, gncing behind her.

  The Priestesses were not far behind her, but the gate was opening.

  "Move it," the guard said, waving her forward.

  "Thank you," Tessa said, rushing into the yard, and the guard closed the gate behind her.
