Fred was having a rough time disguising himself.  After his second "growth spurt" as he had come to think of it, he decided that something was definitely very, very odd.  He felt like he was pregnant with something.  He had no idea what.  He had examined the slit behind his scrotum again, and had concluded it was extremely vagina-like.  He could only assume that meant there was something womb-like attached to it, and something fetus-like growing in there.  Besides, he definitely looked pregnant now.  His chest had continued expanding, he figured he now had large B or possibly C-cup breasts jutting obscenely from his once toned manly chest.  And he had an incredibly round belly protruding from his middle.  It wasn't huge...not yet anyway.  Fred figured at the rate things seemed to be moving, he would be much larger soon.  He had no time to waste.  He was going to go get a pregnancy test...that would hopefully answer his question, with minimal questions from anyone else. 

Fred didn't particularly relish the idea of going out in his present state, especially in the area around his apartment, for fear of being recognized.  If he had the luxury of not carrying a figurative time bomb around in his belly, he would go several miles out of town to buy his certainty.  But that wasn't really an option.  It was now just after 4PM, and he had barely even noticed his growth four hours ago.  Now no one could miss it.  He had some gauze wrap left over from a nasty wound he had suffered last year, and did his best to wrap it around his chest, squeezing his breasts as flat as they would go.  It was not comfortable at all, but it was better than someone seeing him sporting cleavage while he was out.  He still had the problem of his belly though.  He pulled on a pair of jeans and found it quite difficult to get them past his rump.  It seemed his hips had flared a bit while his belly was growing, giving him a wider stance to carry his added weight.  His new larger hips had bestowed a larger booty upon him as well.  In fact, his rear was now rather feminine and curvy, and he was barely able to pull his pants up over it. 

He was also facing the issue of his manhood being crammed into the front of his much tighter than usual pants, while also being unable to pull up his waistband as high as usual due to his unexpected burden.  He was able to scrunch the waistband down, under his belly, and finally fasten the button.  Lastly, he threw on a very large hoodie he felt lucky to own.  It pretty much obscured his entire shape. Suited up and ready to go, he added sunglasses and a cap just to add further obscurity to his appearance.  He checked to make sure the coast was clear outside his apartment before heading to the stairs as fast as he could.  Fred found it surprisingly difficult to move quickly while stuffed into his pants with a belly as firm as his.  He actually felt his body trying to waddle.  He resisted it the best he could.  When he finally got down the 4 flights of stairs from his apartment, he was huffing and puffing.  It had felt like the longest stair journey of his life.  Fred found his car and got in, pushing his seat back a bit to keep his belly from brushing the steering wheel.  He pulled on his seat belt unable to reach the latch at first because of the extra material taken up by his swollen stomach.  "Dammit, this is frustrating..." he grumbled.  He was finally situated and headed off to his least favorite pharmacy, on the other side of town.

The extra girth Fred was wielding behind the steering wheel made driving an interesting experience.  His belly, and his scrunched up jeans were making it hard to move his legs around, and he nearly rear ended someone because he couldn't hit the brake fast enough.  When he finally go to the pharmacy, which actually didn't take very long at all, he jumped out of his car, as well as someone in his condition could, and attempted to run, but mostly just waddled quickly into the store.  He found the pregnancy tests and grabbed five different brands.  He got to the counter, where a young teenage guy, maybe 16 was drumming on the register counter.  "Dude!  Somebody's been busy, eh?" He said to Fred, motioning at the slew of pregnancy tests and winking slyly.  "Condoms are on the same aisle though, and their cheaper."  As Fred opened his mouth to reply, the thing in his belly did a few barrel rolls.  It didn't actually hurt, just felt very awkward and caught him off guard.  Fred instinctively placed his right hand on the top slope of his belly, while he used his left hand to rub the front of it.  Fred's hoodie was a good concealer, but not while Fred's hands accentuated the shape of it's secret.

The cashier lost his shit.  "Dude!!?   What the hell!?  Are these, are these for you!  Are you fucking pregnant dude!?"  Fred thought about denying everything and storming out of the store.  Maybe even writing a scathing review of the place at Yelp.com.  But he really wanted to use the tests.  Instead, he leaned in really close to the cashier and said in a barely audible voice, "Hey, dipshit, do you think I'd be buying these if I knew I was pregnant?"  The cashier made a pathetic sort of whimpering sound before ringing up Fred's purchase in stunned, paled, silence.  He handed Fred his bag without making eye contact and on his way out, Fred heard the poor damaged kid sob before shouting "Get up here Sarah!  I need a fucking break!"

Fred's ride home was uneventful, he was actually getting used driving with a swollen middle by the time he got back to his apartment complex.  Fred noticed his stomach was staring to graze the steering wheel as he removed his seat belt.  "I guess it keeps getting bigger without 'growth spurts' helping" he thought.  "Great." he said aloud.  He chanced taking the elevator back up to his floor, and just barely missed a collision with Mrs. Lidden on his way out, but otherwise his outside adventure had been mostly uneventful.  He removed his hoodie, and could see the reason his breasts had been slowly growing more and more sore was because they were still slowly swelling as well.  The gauze was severely warped across the front of his chest.  He winced as he removed it, and let his heavy tits burst free of their cotton prison.  He also had a hell of a time removing his jeans.  When he was finally rid of his disguise, he ripped open all the pregnancy tests and headed to the bathroom.  He knew how they worked, and pulled his member out so he could pee.  It was then he had the epiphany that a pregnancy test had definitely been developed by a man.  Men can aim.

He did his business, sticking the tip of one test into the stream, then moving on to the next.  When he was finally done with all of them he headed to his bedroom to find some clothes to wear.  He threw on a pair of sweat pants and a tight-ish T-shirt.  He was somewhat surprised with himself, but he wanted to see just how big he was getting.  He figured if he had to go through this incredibly odd and unnerving experience, and since there wasn't anything he could do to stop whatever was happening inside him, he might as well try to enjoy some part of it.  He headed back to the bathroom to see the results of his tests.  They were all positive.  Every single one.  Fred was stunned.  He had still thought that there might be another way to explain what was happening to him besides a spontaneous male pregnancy, and sure, pregnancy tests gave false positives sometimes, but not five of them at the same time.  It seemed this was the only way to explain the changes in his body.  His sudden outwardly female reproductive organ, the rapid growth in his belly, and he supposed his breasts must have been swelling with milk...he placed his hands on his pregnant middle, rubbing it softly.  "So I am pregnant." He said to it.  "But what are you?  And how the hell did you get inside me?"  His belly buzzed for a moment before it's occupant began to twist around and contort, changing the round shape of Fred's belly once again.  

"Shit, another 'growth spurt'?!  How big am I gonna get?!"

Longest chapter yet!  Anybody jealous of Fred yet?  I am...And again, feedback appreciated!  See how fast I added a chapter this time? lol
