"Mama Hilda! Can we make cupcakes today?" Pinkie Pie asked Hilda excitedly.
The Mane 6 were now 5 years old which in turn meant their three adopted parents had reached the milestone of 15 years old. Grim and both Ben and Hilda's parents had complimented on how good a job the three friends had done in raising the kids, even if they provided some help in making sure the six children were properly taken care of.
"Sure, sweetie!" Hilda giggled, picking up the pink equine girl and kissing her on the nose. "Let's get ready to bake!"
"While it's always nice to see you bonding with your daughter's sweetie, you might want to ration the sugar you're letting into your body." Hilda's Mom giggled as she had just finished giving Rainbow Dash a bath. "You eat that enough of Pinkie's cupcakes and it may end up sticking to your hips."
Hilda chuckled. "Thanks for the advice, Ma, but that just makes me want it even more!"
"Well, just be sure to keep a good amount of muscle underneath if you really are intent on getting fat." Hilda's Mom playfully teased as Hilda nodded.
"I don't see anything wrong with being bigger, Mama!" Pinkie chimed in. "Just think about how much more there'd be of you to love!"
Hilda was an active young woman and in pretty good shape but if she was really intent on bulking up, she needed to be able to manage both muscle and fat in equal amounts while making sure the latter was the more prominent tissue.
It helped that she always had an unnaturally large appetite that her mother may or may not have had a hand in perpetrating by spoiling her with all sorts of delicious meals.
Pinkie, her talents in baking having grown with age, was working on a pie for Grim's birthday. As she did, Hilda unwrapped a spare chocolate bar and bit into it, savoring the sweet, milky taste. After eating half of it, she tossed the rest to Pinkie, who happily chomped down on it and then chugged a glass of chocolate milk to wash it down.
"Grandpa Grim is gonna love this pie I made!" Pinkie cheered. "The Pie Baking Train is full speed ahead!"
Hilda giggled and ruffled Pinkie's fluffy cotton candy-esque mane as she unwrapped another chocolate bar and bit into it, making sure to share it with her hyperactive sugar-loving daughter.
"Mmm… I'd say we're making some really good progress, aren't we?" Hilda asked as she walked away from the ice cream stand.
"You said it, Mom!" Rainbow noted as she stared at how much her adoptive mother had changed.
Thanks to her constant binging, the once slim Hilda had swelled up quite a bit in these past weeks. Her short shorts had ridden up, trying to contain the sizable layer of flab that was her stomach. It stuck out from the rest of her by nearly an entire foot, pushing out past her shirt and giving anyone around her a good look at the jiggling mass of chub.
Hilda's white tank shirt was too small to fully cover it up too, leaving a sliver of exposed skin and her belly button sticking out at all times. Her thighs had widened too, now rubbing up against each other while sitting and having a soft jiggle to them. Her behind had followed suit, going from reasonably sized to rather large, just under the size of her head for each cheek.
She'd gone up by at least two cup sizes since she'd started gaining and even her arms seemed to have been affected, now sporting an entire layer of fat around themselves.
While other women would have been upset at this, Hilda was quite pleased. She didn't mind being a bigger woman in the slightest. She was still the same person but now with a bit more heft, a bigger stomach capacity, and a bit more power to her hip check. What was there to complain about?
"Good thing Ratchet and Twilight sprang for special fabric so that my shorts grow with me," Hilda noted as she looked down at herself.
"But not your shirt, obviously," Rainbow said while licking her ice cream cone.
"Hey, this belly should look good for all those who wanna rest their heads on it." Hilda proudly said. "But I would appreciate if you could help your mama manage her calories so I'm not just a big blob."
"Oh trust me, Mom! I'll make sure that underneath all that fat is pure muscle!" Rainbow grinned.
Thanks to Rainbow's assistance, Hilda kept herself healthy and made sure to not let that part of her life slip away. It even seemed like she was somehow a bit more energized and strong after putting on the pounds, the weight not doing anything to slow her down.
Pinkie and Hilda's Mom had both teamed up to provide Hilda with many filling meals to increase her pounds every day. Eventually, she was now approximately 187kg or 412 pounds, to be exact.
Her stomach, which had already been round and flabby, had now expanded to become the largest part of her body. It stuck out nearly three feet and was now so large that it covered her crotch. Resting atop this enormous gut lay her breasts, which had undergone similar growths.
No longer the flat size they'd once been, Hilda's bosom had blossomed into a beautiful rack. They were easily within the E-cup range by this point, and both were soft to the touch.
It was safe to say that most of Hilda's weight had been distributed fairly evenly. Her breasts and belly were developing nicely, and her flabbier arms remained as firm and active as ever thanks to her training. Her butt was equally massive, now large enough that each cheek more resembled massive globes than human cheeks. Her round, enviably enormous rear was supported by a set of glorious, tree trunk-sized thighs; made all the more obvious whenever she so much as took a step.
It was safe to say that Hilda was getting to be the talk of the town with how much she was porking up, but she didn't mind that. Despite her massive girth, Hilda had managed to keep up a strong body and good health. She was just too damn active for anything to slow her down, even including tripling her body weight.
Whenever she was taking a lazy day, however, Hilda would always be seen snuggling Pinkie, Rainbow, or one of the other members of the Mane 6 when they were tired. Her titanic tummy made a fine pillow for the little fillies to rest their sleepy heads.
Also of note was how Ben had been focused on his best friend's expansion. Ratchet playfully ribbed at how transfixed he was by how fat Hilda had gotten but he brushed it off, though the Lombax could see the blush on his cheeks.
However, while Hilda's expansion was a nice new change, the biggest one was that Ratchet had been working on a ship that could support himself, his friends, and their six kids. The three teen parents wanted to help find the Mane 6's home and where they might have come from, even if it might traverse every corner of the universe. However, a part of Ratchet did wish to know what happened to the rest of his species.
What nobody realized was just what would happen that would change their lives forever when a ship came crashing into their backyard much like the Mane 6's basket did...
