Bethany blinked in surprise, the big girl feeling unusually vulnerable as she gently prodded her hugely-enlarged abdomen. The sudden expansion hurt, leaving her abdomen feeling inhumanly stretched and taut- just as it had when it had been this size earlier, but Bethany was a big girl. She was tough enough to brush aside the pain and focus on the important things.
Like confirmation that Derek was still alive. That was enough for her.
"Ow..."
Feeling her raging temper rapidly cooling down, Bethany reached down (oof, that was really uncomfortable), and held out a hand to the shorter girl.
"Thanks. You aren't going to beat me up now, are you?"
"No. You got lucky- Derek seems to be fine, and I'm not going to do anything to jeopardize that." Bethany stated, absentmindedly patting her huge belly.
"Wow, you, uh... really seem to be taking this whole 'unplanned, spur-of-the-moment pregnancy thing well..." Lisa muttered at the sight of the big girl looking oddly, almost comfortingly maternal.
"Do I? I guess so. I'm not doing anything on purpose..."
"Well, it's probably nothing... Both you and Derek seem to be fine, thank goodness... It doesn't hurt, does it?" Lisa asked, gesturing at the big, round elephant in the room.
Bethany leaned back, stretching her back (and unwittingly thrusting her full-term baby bump right into Lisa.)
"Phew... feels good to stretch like that. But... yeah, it does hurt. Nothing I can't manage, though."
"Oh, that's good-- Wait, WHAT?!" Lisa yelped, eyes wide.
"Well, duh. What'd you expect? My belly went from flat and toned to big and round in the space of a few seconds. It should go without saying, but the human body isn't meant to stretch or contort like that."
Lisa winced at that description.
"So... you don't, uh, feel like anything, uh... broke, inside of you, do you?"
"Naw, I'm pretty strong. Like I said, it hurts- and I sure don't like feeling all sore and stretched-out, but I can handle it. And no, if you need me to spell it out for you, I don't feel like I'm about to burst open like an extra in an Alien movie."
"Oh thank god!"
"What was that?"
"Um... nothing! Just glad that you aren't feeling to bad." Lisa chuckled nervously.
"So, do you want me to try making him a bit smaller? To help with the pain?"
The frosty glare Bethany sent to her would've had lesser creatures cowering in fear. Lisa wasn't much better.
"Ooooor we could just leave him like that for now! Please don't hurt me! It's just a suggestion!" Lisa whimpered.
After a few more seconds, Bethany's glare faded away to a faint frown.
"Sorry. I just... I feel like I almost lost Derek just now because of that ray, and I don't want to do anything to risk hurting him." The big girl said, one hand gently caressing her ample baby-bump.
Something caught her eye, and she edged past Lisa, the tall girl's increased mass easily knocking her aside.
"Oh... shit. Lisa? We have a problem."
What did Bethany see?
1 & 2) Bethany sees a red light flashing on a monitor in the lab.
1> The two of them must've triggered some kind of silent alarm!
2> They've been on video surveillance this entire time!
3) Bethany saw something else bad (Not critical/life-threatening, but inconveniencing at least.)
Like confirmation that Derek was still alive. That was enough for her.
