"Baby Fat"
a Love Hina fanfic by Limequat

At some point years from now, Naru and Keitaro got married. Naru was recently deemed pregnant, and she was having numerous odd cravings you associate with pregnancy.

“Keitaro!” Naru called. “Can you get me another jar of pickles?” She was watching her favorite show and didn’t want to miss anything.
“Sorry, I’ve got to go to work now!”
She heard the front door slam. A commercial came on. Naru rushed into the kitchen and opened the fridge door, revealing, among other things, eight jars of pickles. Keitaro had prepared for this. She took one out (her third that day) and rushed back to the living room. She twisted the jar open. She popped a pickle into her mouth. They were dill chips, her favorite kind. She smiled and thought, He knows me so well. Her show came back on.
Soon Naru had finished off the entire jar. She was still hungry, but she wasn’t in the mood for pickles.
Sardines! That’s what she wanted! She went to the fridge again. She didn’t see any sardines. She looked just about everywhere, but there were no sardines in sight. Naru sighed deeply.
What about watermelon? Watermelon’s good.
She spied a very large one on the counter nearby. She walked over to it and tried to lift it. It didn’t budge. She tried again. Nothing. She eventually gave up and simply rolled it over to the cutting board.
Why hadn’t she thought of that before?

Time passed.

At last she had cut up the 45-pound melon into small cubes. She evenly distributed them into bowls. She took a fork out of the silverware drawer and stabbed the first chunk. She ate and ate and ate until it was all gone. She belched loudly, and when she did so, her shirt buttons popped off.
“Wow! The baby’s growing really fast!”
She felt moderately full, about 60%. What else was left that she craved?
Ice cream! You could never go wrong with ice cream!
Naru, with some difficulty, waddled helplessly to the fridge. She opened the upper portion, revealing a whole collection of her favorite flavors: Strawberry, black raspberry, chocolate fudge, banana cream. Her mouth watered, only for the saliva to be frozen by the freezing air. She lugged out onto the counter every last tub—which basically left the freezer empty. Not like she cared.
She gobbled up the ice cream at incredible speeds; she consumed it all before she even became aware of how much she ate. She stood up slowly, then fell onto her now-massive butt; her stomach was even bigger than it was before she began her binge; her legs were like tree trunks. But even still, she was hungry. She was just about to roll herself over to the fridge again when she heard the front door open.
“Naru, I’m home!” Keitaro called. Then, “NARU!! WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU!??!!!!?”
“What?!”
“It’s just that you’re…”
“My tummy?”
“Yeah, I guess.”
“Oh. Well, the baby has grown a lot since you left.”
“The baby.”
“Yup.”
Keitaro sighed. He wasn’t going to argue with Naru; he’d let her believe what she wanted.He didn’t want to risk being hurt.
