A Holiday Not To Remember

Barry could hear his parents bickering as he slowly climbed the stairwell of the boat, leaving the calm and refreshing ocean. 

"How could you let him go in deep water in his condition?" argued his father Harry.

"Excuse me! What condition? Do you think being pregnant makes you an invalid?" repled his mother Sarah. 

Barry sighed. This was not how he intended to spend his Exchange Island holiday.

It was all very typical of his parents to argue like that even in public. There was only a small difference that made the argument funnier that it was intended. His father was speaking from the body of a 10 years old girl with a childish face, freckles and a slight lisp due to braces, while his mother was currently in the body of a 10 years old lanky boy. 

The ironic thing was that they actually were not allowed to swim in open waters, unlike Barry, who despite being a 28 years old very pregnant woman took the chance to be away from his bickering parents, if only for a little while. 

Floating in the ocean was actually wonderful and was the closest he had been to being on holiday. When he was on land he felt bloated and heavy, unable to walk but only to wobble. He ended up thinking that being a woman was not so bad, but being pregnant sucked. Plus, he couldn't stand his parents, both in overprotective mode, without realizing that they were the ones needing protection. 

As he re-entered the boat, Barry made a mental note to never go again on holiday with his parents. And possibly, to never allow a future pregnant wife near them.

The Housewife & the accountant

Image
"Honey, I'm home!" Linda said. She dropped the suitcase and was glad to let it loose of the tie she was wearing. She was exhausted. Linda always thought her husband Richard had it so much simpler than her. She just couldn't figure it out how hard it could be to be an accountant in 1954. He just needed to put numbers together. Plus he was free to do what he wanted, meet people, go to places eat out, while she was always at home taking care of the house. So she dared Richard into swapping places for a week with a magic spell and went off to her first day of work as a man, leaving him as the hapless housewife.  Only, it was not as easy she thought. Her collegues were all squares and boring, she had barely time to go to the washroom and grab a sandwich from the kiosk just outside the office and to top it off, she got 45 minutes stuck in traffic. She could see why Richard was coming home always spent and in need of a drink.  "Honey, where are you? I'm home!"

Confrontation

Image
Charles wanted to go over the pool area of the resort and chill a bit while reading a book, before everyone else was active and he would have to be with all his family. The weekend gateway-reunion was not going as he expected and the 56 years old man found himself cherishing the moment he could spend by himself. However, upon entering the pool area Charles saw that there was the one person he wanted to meet the least: his son James.  Before Charles could turn around and leave, James saw him and called on him.  "Hi, dad. Guess only us guys are early risers?" he asked.  Charles tried to hide his frustation at the casual encounter, while James took off the white dress he was wearing, remaining only in a yellow bikini and showing off even more his 8-month pregnant belly. Charles' gaze fell on his son's stretched belly and he was unable to hide his frown.  When James told his parents that they were expecting a baby, they didn't say that it was James expecting and not

The convention, part 3

Image
    Philip entered the car and gasped in surprise at the sight of his business partner Brandon sitting with his shapely legs open, his uniform opened to show his cleavage and his bra. He looked nervous and tense.  "Damn, Br-Belle, what are you doing like this? We need to go the covention..." he said.  Brandon just stared at him, with his hurt face.  "Are we really not going to talk about it?" he finally said.  "You mean, talking about how you are inappropriately sitting?" Philip said, more to the outside world than to Brandon. "I mean we are not talking about how we used a body changing pill to make me an attractive woman or we are not talking about how the founder of the company got drunk and frisky with his hostess?" Brandon answered, with a crack on his voice. "Shit, man. Put yourself together, you make it sound like I forced you," Philip replied, closing the car door so that nobody could hear them. "No, you didn't and that&
