(Subject: Umino Jero Progress: 7 months 3 weeks 5 days)
Birds chirped happily outside of the Umino home as Jero woke up. It was 11: 43 am, much later than Jero was used to waking up at. The weight of the children on his body was exhausting him. He thought because of his height, he would be able to handle twins, but he now found himself following Naruko's orders and resting. He sat on the edge of the bed rubbing his aching lower back.
Jero sat up with much difficulty, and using his arms to support his back, he glanced at the full-length mirror hanging from the open closet door. He sighed, lifting an eyebrow up as he stared at the him he had come to know over the past 8 months.
His shirt stretched thin over his immense stomach, which was completely round with the exception of a small bump in the center where his naval had popped 4 months earlier. Pulling his shirt smooth he examined his development. He then removed his shirt completely to get a better look.
He looked down at his swollen stomach in the mirror. His once flat abs, were barely holding together what little ab-dignity they had. Because of Naruko's special scar creams he lacked stretch marks though. He examined his once flat, muscular chest, now swollen and heavy like his belly. Dark circles were forming under his eyes from all the nights he couldn't get to sleep. For a second he was glad Naruko wasn't here to see him like this.
Suddenly a sharp, numb ache ran through his lower abdomen surprising him. He grabbed his belly and held his hands over the place where his children rested, safe and warm. He waited to see of the pain would return, but it didn't. His eyebrows slanted with worry. He had felt the same pain 3 times last night, and it was starting to concern him. With Naruko gone, he couldn't afford anything going wrong. He rubbed his hands over his stomach and smiled softly, trying to calm down. The babies moved slightly and thumped against the insides of his palms.
He sighed and smiled, a beautiful smile. He held his belly in his arms and hummed softly, letting them know everything would be okay. But as the day progressed he started to doubt that. His back ached worse than he felt he could handle. And the pains were getting worse and occurring more and more frequently, almost 30 minutes apart now.
"Aaaarrrgh!! "He groaned in agony as he stood leaning, one arm against the wall, the other clutching his belly. After a minute he stood up straight, the pain fading, and the sweat dripping from his face. "That's it…." He panted heavily.
He made several hand signs and transformed into an illusion of his former self. "I have less than 30 minutes to get to the hospital." Though it looked flat, his stomach felt just as swollen as usual, and he held it close as he jumped from the rooftops of Konoha.
