As the workout had passed its crescendo, Claire went to slow stretches. Many were static - keeping the silenced, dissolving son strewn out to new angles. Arm raises that made him feel like a rubber band extended out to its limit. A laying stretch that pushed all her weight on him, focusing everything on her sweltering core; rearranging the cellular structure around.
Finally, she rested her sweating yoga pants on the couch, letting the buns sink deep into the cushion. "Haaah... I hope that's shown you a bit of my daily routine. You know." She groaned. "You may not have needed those magic spells to boost yourself. Then you might still be out there."
Her stomach groaned from the continual in-and-out stretching. She tapped it - too tired to make it light, her hand flopped right on the surface, smothering the contents beneath a web of palm flesh. Blake felt pinned beneath her, stuck to the seismic rumbles within her form.
The maternal monolith looked to the distance. "It's been so much trouble keeping track of you at normal size. Now you're small. And smaller, and smaller..." She pinched the area that was snugly held by the ring, feeling the shrinking surface as she'd burned away the fatty tissue.

His mother's thought pattern made him squirm. He slithered within the hold, fighting back - only getting another slow, low groan in response.
"Stop that." She warned, her voice bellowing. "I can't believe you're still getting in weird places, even with that tight restraint..." She rubbed her muscles. "What AM I going to do with you?"
The exacerbation in her voice was nearly as horrifying as the continual echoes of her belly...
