Couvade Part 3
Now that Gary was feeling better, he realised that it was more than time to touch base with Adam who he hadn’t seen for over two months. They agreed to meet in the usual place after work.
They both arrived at the same time, and as Gary noted to himself, there was now no mistaking that Adam was pregnant. Although Gary admitted to himself Adam really looked quite hot, he hoped he would never get as obvious as he was.
They got their drinks and moved over to a table, which Adam struggled to get behind. Gary realised that he should have gone there rather than sit on the movable stools on the ‘free’ side of the table. Adam noticed that Gary’s pants were ruckled under a belt. He had evidently lost quite a bit of weight, because if Adam had re-membered correctly, Gary had just started his second trimester and yet his normal pants were falling off him. So Adam enquired after Gary’s health and heard all about the morning sickness. The fact that it was really rare in men didn’t do much to console Gary; though he was pleased he seemed to be through the worst now.
"Does it mean I’ll be prone to it in other pregnancies? "asked Gary. "I’m afraid so, it’s a part of your make up, though it may not be as bad another time." Adam tried to be assuring. "The good thing is though, that you are managing to keep your figure. Your gut is trimmer than the last time we met, unlike mine which is blowing up big time."
"But it looks good on you."
"Do you think so?" Adam said resting his hand sub-consciously on the bulge. "It is getting in the way all the time now. It’s a nuisance, especially at work as I can’t get as close to the lab bench as I used to because of this growing lump. There is another guy in the lab that has had several pregnancies and he says you get used to it. I hope so."
"Are there many of you pregnant at the clinic."
"No, not really. There is a get out clause for most. You don’t have to contribute your own sperm towards the baby; the only thing that is compulsory is that if you are able to carry any foetus, you must. So 50% of men are able to carry babies if they are the father (as it were) but it is a much smaller percentage that can grow a foetus that both parents are different to the carrier. I just happened to be unlucky and be a part of that small percentage."
"So, you don’t like being pregnant then? "Gary asked.
"As a physical experience it is OK. But I am getting more awkward now, it is becoming harder to do things, my friends think I am nuts and my family don’t understand it at all. They can’t understand why I signed the contract for this job that landed me in this con-dition. Perhaps I wouldn’t have done, had I known I would have to carry children, but the job is great, and I suppose if I am for equality of men and women I ought to be prepared to take the conse-quences."
"Would you like to quit your job and get a more normal lifestyle then?"
Adam had to think about that, but after a bit replied: "I don’t think so. The job is great; I like the work in the lab and meeting the clients in the surgeries. And it sort of helps being in the same state as they are. I think overall I am content really. The other guy in the lab says that folks get used to the fact you are pregnant after a while and just regard it as normal. He says after the first two pregnancies you really cease to notice, but then he is really laid back about it all now, even though he is now huge and about to give birth at any time. He must be noticing something, though he wanders around (well actually he waddles) as though every-thing was normal."
"Well it is normal I suppose, for him anyway, after blowing up big several times. I’ve noticed that you are beginning to waddle too. It looks cute."
"Chee, I know. I try really hard not to, but this baby and all the fluids and what not that go with it are beginning to be difficult to carry around. When I found out I had to carry babies, I vowed I wouldn’t waddle like most of the clients do. I just thought they were making a show of their condition – saying to the world ‘look at me, I’m pregnant’, but now I know it is very hard to do anything else than walk like a duck."
The conversation continued about this and that, but was brought to a premature close by the fact that Adam needed a pee, and so they both decided to call it a day and meet in a few weeks time.
****
With so much to do, the next fortnight went quickly and before Steve and Josh knew where they were, the appointment for the 13 week scan came along. By this time Josh was looking forward to the launch as he badly needed some new clothes himself. All his were getting too small. Josh went for the scan in a pair of Steve’s jeans and if the truth were told, his belly was beginning to become obvious to the whole world. As he had such a narrow frame his belly was all stuck out in front. Since that day two months previously when he realised his favourite pants were getting tight, he had become very conscious of his figure and was alarmed at how fast he was growing.
Steve tried to reassure him that he looked no different now to the on-looker, but Josh knew that he must do. He knew that when he put his tie on to go to work it now rested on the small belly that now seemed to be growing by the day. He had already surreptitiously swapped his suit pants in the store for the next size up and was very grateful that now he was planning the new department, Mr Evans had kindly suggested he wore relaxed fit casual clothes. The next time he would have to look smart would be at the launch and he would be able to wear comfortable paternity clothing. So he turned up for their first check up in one of Steve’s tops and a pair of his pants as well.
Around the waiting room were about half a dozen men with various sized guts - none of them too large Josh was relieved to notice. It had alarmed him how much he had grown in three months when nothing much was supposed to happen. He was actually finding his new belly quite sexy, as was Steve, but he was still very shy about it and he didn’t think he wanted to become too big.
On the other hand, he found the guts on the other men very attractive and looked forward to getting a little bigger himself.
Both Steve and Josh noticed that all the men in the room made no effort to hide their pregnancy, going for tight specially shaped tops. They both had to admit they all looked great. They both liked the ‘fit with a gut’ look. They were surprised how busy the clinic was, with three or four rooms in operation. They had arrived early so were able to watch people go in and out. They were very nearly all couples; some were obviously carrying babies for their wives or girlfriends while others had male partners.
As time went by someone Josh recognised came out of one of the doors with his wife. It was Gary from accounts at the store. Josh had noted when he first encountered Gary that he had had a good swimmers build shape, but in the last year or so, Josh had noticed that it was going a bit soft. To the trained eye a slight paunch was developing. As he came out into the waiting room Josh noticed that he actually looked leaner than he had done for a bit. Unlike Josh, Gary’s stomach was not obvious, although his top wasn’t tight so there might be something there. However, Josh’s initial reaction was that they were just there to explore the idea of couvade.
Gary and his wife came across to talk to Josh and Steve. The introductions were made and in the course of the conversation, it transpired that Gary was actually a month further on than Josh. However, Gary told him about his bad morning sickness and how he had lost quite a lot of weight. Josh had noticed that Gary had looked pale a few weeks back. He was relieved that the morning sickness had now been finished for about a month. They were just beginning to talk about what had happened at Gary’s check-up when Josh was called. As Josh and Steve walked across to the examination room, Gary noted the baggy clothes and the belly pushing against the large sweat shirt. He thought he could just see a bit of belly pushing against the sweat shirt as he moved. That boy was definitely pregnant. This was very good he thought – just enough gut to launch some paternity clothing.
A male doctor and nurse welcomed them into the room. The doctor wore the usual white coat, but altogether more striking to both Josh and Steve was the male nurse. He was wearing a close fitting white smock with the couvade program’s ‘Pregnant & Proud’ logo on the chest. It was all too obvious that he was pregnant too, the smock closely following the curve of his beach ball belly. Josh noticed that the nurse was about the same build as him and was pleased to see that the belly really suited him. The doctor welcomed Steve and Josh and told them to have a seat. He introduced them to the nurse, Adam, and told them that he was just about 7 months along in his first pregnancy. He told them that all employees at the centre were required to undergo pregnancies if they were suitable carriers.
While the doctor studied Josh’s notes, Adam explained how they made a video of surrogates for the adoptive parents. As the surrogacy was completely anonymous both Steve and Josh should wear small masks for the examination. Adam said he would too as he was a surrogate he would be doing the same thing. He told them that after the examination they would like to make a general video of Josh so that the adoptive parents could watch their baby grow in him. Both he and Steve would be lent clothes so that they couldn’t be recognised by them.
So with Steve in different clothes and Josh naked, and masks in place, the filming began and Josh got onto the couch for the exam. As Josh had taken his top of, he heard a sharp intake of breath from Adam as he saw his little round stomach. It obviously caught the doctor’s eye too, because as he reached for the scanner he said: "Let’s see what’s going on in here then". The scan revealed twins. The doctor was amazed because he was certain they had only implanted one embryo. The doctor thought it must have split after being implanted.
However, the doctor said it would explain why Josh’s stomach had grown a little bit more than expected and it was likely that he would get bigger than say Adam was going to. Josh looked at Adam and tried to imagine what he would look like with a bulge much bigger than his. He couldn’t - so instead he asked the doctor how big he thought he would get. The doctor wouldn’t be drawn on that one. Instead he emphasised that the twins were looking really healthy and that Josh himself was in good shape. The doctor had also noticed how attractive both Steve and Josh found Adam. He could tell by the way in which they both kept looking at him. He saw this as a good sign in their coping with what inevitably would be a big pregnancy.
After a thorough examination, the doctor told Josh that he was very pleased with his progress. He was the perfect client for carrying babies. He then asked Adam who the next client was. Adam looked at the list and told him it was the 13 week scan of Mr Wilson - one of the first clients of the clinic who was now in his fifth preg-nancy. "So he doesn’t need you then Adam. I think it would be best if you took Josh and Steve here to the clothing department and do the four month briefing for Josh. As he is having twins I think we could be a little generous and give him some credit at the store. All he wants will be free."
He went on to explain that the briefing was usually done as clients started to show which was generally at four months. While the doctor was having a final word with Josh and Steve, Adam went off to find some suitable clothes for Josh, so that he would be anonymous on the video. He quickly came back with a polo shirt with the ‘Pregnant and Proud’ logo on it and some paternity jeans. Josh was a bit self conscious at how both items of clothing showed off nicely the small curve of his belly. Up to now he had been trying to hide it with his clothes. Steve noted how good he looked.
As they left the examination room and thanked the doctor Adam explained to them that there were hidden cameras all around the build-ing from which they would pick up some footage for the contracted parents. He said it was best to just forget they were there. He asked them to follow him down a corridor. As they followed, Josh wondered how long it would be before he was waddling as Adam was now. They walked down what seemed like a very long corridor, and for Josh it seemed as if they passed a lot of people who were all looking at his small gut which he felt was so obvious now. Nobody was of course because they were used to far bigger guts than Josh’s.
Adam took them into a small sitting room which was well appointed and comfortable - even homely. He made them all coffee from the machine in the corner. As he did this, neither Josh nor Steve could take their eyes of his beautiful bulge. As he handed them their coffees and sat down himself, Adam said: "You both find my belly really hot don’t you?" The both nodded, slightly embarrassed that their attentions had been noticed.
"That is really good, because you, Josh, will have a bulge like this in just a few months. I can tell that you feel awkward about your belly as it is just beginning to grow and you are carrying yourself as if you are trying to hide it. Your belly will look far better if you carry it properly. The reason you find my bulge so attractive is because I carry it properly. I am proud of it and show it off. Also it is much better for my back as it grows ever larger. And another thing is that your job will require you to look pregnant and promote it."
Steve and Josh looked at one another. How did Adam know that? Of course he was quite right. Adam then showed them how Josh was standing and they were amazed at the difference a small change in posture made.
Adam continued "Most of our clients have to be shown how to stand correctly, as like you; they are self conscious about their new curves. But re-member, by next month there will be no way you can hide it, so you might just as well show it off to its best advantage. It will be best for you and the baby - sorry, babies. Steve, it is your job to see Josh looks as sexily pregnant as possible. This is particularly important for Josh as he has a small frame and is carrying twins. I would estimate he will be as big as me now after only five months."
Josh had a go at standing as Adam had shown him. It did make his slightly curving belly more prominent and obvious, but Josh agreed that it did look far better. He remembered how Mr Dupont had made him stand up straight a few weeks ago. Steve was amazed by the difference and gave Josh lots of encouragement.
"Let’s walk about a bit showing your babies off to the rest of the hospital so that you can be used to being pregnant in public" and with that Adam made for the door.
Josh followed remembering to stand properly in the tight top he had on and they went for a walk around the more public places of the hospital. In one way this was no big deal as they all knew that people were used to pregnant men there but Josh knew that soon he would have to face the outside world and his friends. At least the weather was still cold and he could wear baggy jumpers, while he got used to the idea of standing properly and being very pregnant with twins. Deep down, if the truth be told, Josh actually enjoyed showing his new belly to the folks in the clinic, though he did hope that the twins wouldn’t make him too big. After all he had a department to run.
* * * * *
Josh didn’t notice, as he was wandering around proudly showing off his pregnancy for the first time, a face that he may well have remembered. He had a good memory for faces and particularly the customers at Dupont’s. As he wandered past the newly married David and his wife, David knew he had seen Josh’s face before, though he was struggling to think where.
Had Josh noticed David, he would have seen a very nervous looking young man as he was about to discover whether or not he could have the child all their friends had paid for. He was hoping so much that the answer would be ‘no’ and he knew that there was a fifty percent chance that it would be ‘no’. He didn’t want to change his job – he enjoyed being a fitness instructor, but he couldn’t see himself continuing to be one of those if he became pregnant. His wife, Karen, was firm but supportive. She too worked at the gym (that is how they met) and didn’t want to loose her figure either. She was hoping for a ‘yes’ because it was about time in her view that men should have to worry about their careers when they got pregnant. And the thought of her new husband, who she loved to bits, getting a big baby belly made her very excited. So they both sat nervously in the waiting room waiting to be called so that they could get the verdict. Both were asking themselves why they had left it so long since the wedding before their initial consultation the previous week. Had they been quicker off the mark, they would have known by now. Each of them wasn’t being totally honest with the other.
David was saying he would do anything for Karen – which was true – but he really really really didn’t want to get fat and Karen was saying to David that if he wasn’t suitable that was fine – which was also true, but she couldn’t wait for him to show. So they sat there holding clammy hands, waiting for the verdict. After what seemed like an age they were called into the consulting room and the doctor quickly told them they could go ahead. David tried really hard to be pleased but the doctor noticed that he wasn’t as pleased as Karen.
He told them that by the time they had harvested Karen’s eggs it would be a month before they could impregnate David. David did a quick calculation – January next year. He would be huge for Christmas, New Year and their first wedding an-niversary. Looking on the bright side, though, he realised that he wouldn’t be very big over the summer. So hopefully he would be able to show off his good physique on the beach again. They made appointments for the harvesting of the eggs and sperm and for the impregnation and went back to work at the gym.

Gary, like Josh was back at Dupont’s that afternoon looking at the proposed budget for the paternity department. He was wondering if he would ever need to use the department because at the moment, he still needed a belt to hold up his normal trousers. It was true his shape had changed – he had lost the layer of fat and looked al-most gaunt, but his belly wasn’t quite as big as it had been only a few months ago but as there were now no love handles it stuck out at the front a bit more. He was glad that he wouldn’t have his pregnancy on public display as Josh would.
He called Josh up to talk through the budget. He was surprised when Josh walked in. He had been to the clothing store in the clinic and bought a few clothes with the credit he had been given. He hadn’t bought many though, as he could understand why Marcel Dupont had seen a hole in the market. The clothing was not very exciting, so Josh couldn’t wait for the launch, particu-larly as it wouldn’t be long for Josh before he would definitely need paternity clothes. Josh was wearing a loose top which was shaped to the pregnant form and it did nothing to disguise a growing gut, particularly as he was wearing it tucked into paternity jeans. Gary had called Josh up to check the final buying budget. It didn’t take them long to see that it was all perfectly in order.
The conversation soon turned to other things like their respective pregnancies. It wasn’t long before they were lifting their shirts to compare their bulges. Topless, Josh’s looked much bigger than Gary’s even though he was a month less pregnant and only an inch further around. But his narrow frame meant that the growth was all going out front, whereas Gary had more width to accommodate the ex-pansion. It was Gary that suggested they get together as a foursome with Steve and Diane as well. As Josh had been getting on well with Gary and they had had a good conversation he readily agreed and ar-ranged to do something after the launch to celebrate it.
* * * * *
The launch went well, with lots of interest from the fashion media and men’s magazines. Josh’s figure had blossomed a little bit more in the two weeks since his scan and his pot was becoming obvious. He had been starving for the last 10 days or so as the doctors had predicted he would and he had really started growing. Steve was doing all he could to satisfy Josh’s hunger by continually making him his favourite meals. All that food was ending up in the babies in his belly. So he was able to do the new clothes justice for the cameras.
Gary was at the launch too and even Gary’s pants now looked a bit tight in the waist, but they were still his everyday trousers. Marcel Dupont was pleased that they had found Josh. He would be able to show off these new designs to much better advantage with the cute gut he was now quickly growing. There were basically two lines of clothing, those which tried to hide the bulge and those which celebrated it. Josh was surprised to discover that he preferred the line which showed off his gut and he wore this line for their meal with Diane and Gary that evening. Gary on the other hand was still able to wear his normal clothes, though if he were honest with himself, he knew that he would have to visit Josh’s department soon.
They had an excellent evening together and really got on well together. Gary still found it hard to eat a decent meal because he still didn’t feel that well, but tried not to pick too much at his food. Josh, on the other hand looked as though he couldn’t get enough to eat – a fact which Diane privately made a note of. In fact, it was obvious that Diana was fascinated with Josh’s belly which he had done little to disguise.
Back at their home Diana gave Gary a hard time pointing out that he was supposed to be more pregnant than Josh but had nothing to show for it. If the truth were known, Josh’s belly measurement was only an inch bigger than Gary’s; it looked much more because Josh had such a small frame.
"You need to eat more" she told him fiercely "for the sake of our baby." (Though secretly it was nothing to do with the health of the baby. She wanted him to have cute belly like Josh and watch him get really big and really have to work in this pregnancy. If he wanted children that badly he would be prepared to go through anything.)
"I still don’t feel up to huge meals" Gary retorted "and besides I am not having twins like Josh and I am beefier to start with so it doesn’t show as much". And of course, he was relieved that he had got this far along without anyone else noticing. The longer he stayed this size the better. He didn’t want to be parading a huge gut around the place for the next 3 or 4 months, even though he was desperate for a family.
But Diane wouldn’t be convinced and she promised herself that by whatever means possible she would make Gary fatten up.
* * * * *
Trade was very brisk in Josh’s new department for the first week especially on the days the male maternity clinics were on at the nearby hospital. The fact that the assistant was obviously pregnant went down well as the men coming through could see they were dealing with someone in the same condition as them and while he wasn’t as big as most of the men that came through, it was clear it wouldn’t be long before he was. Josh made careful note of this re-action. He had thought as part of his planning that he would wear the ‘disguising’ clothes at work to show the customers how effective they were, but that was soon changed as he saw that they needed to see him pregnant. He didn’t mind in the least as he was really getting into the idea of his pregnant belly now and it was a pleasure to show it off.
He did note how small it looked compared to those men who were in their third trimester and couldn’t wait for it to be bigger. He didn’t have to wait long.
To show loyalty, Josh wore a polo shirt he’d bought from the hospital shop the month before. As this was the four month check up he got the 4 month shirt out of its wrapping.
It no where near fitted and he had to wear the five month shirt, which he filled in a very adequate manner. "Hey, look at this Steve," Josh shouted down the stairs at breakfast time, "I can’t fit this Pregnant and Proud 4 shirt and the 5 only just fits. I’m getting to be one huge pregnant bloke. Just look at the gut of mine. These twins must be getting to be big boys."
Steve came up the stairs: "You don’t know they’re boys." He said smoothing down the shirt over Josh’s belly. "Well, whatever sex they are, they obviously like all the food you’re making for them."
"You’re not looking so bad on it yourself. This pregnancy lark is really suiting you. Your are definitely flourishing all over. You look so sexy; you’re good enough to eat. The biggest joy is that I have another five months of you in this very sexy condition."
"You may not be saying that when I am the size of a house. At the present rate, I shall have grown out of these P&P shirts at 6 months and then there will be the third trimester. Who knows how huge I shall get by then."
"The huger the better as far as I am concerned. Come on, it’s time to get those twins to the clinic."
