“Let’ssee if this fits you.”Riley pulls another shirt from the shelves.We’re in a storage room, trying to find gear that I can wear.Trying to find gear for my height is already hard enough, but now I’m pregnant, I need more space around the waist and chest area, which makes it even more complicated.
I pull the shirt off, it really wasn’t going over my boobs, and try the one on that Riley’s holding out to me.It goes over my boobs, barely, and is still too tight.And it’s too long.
“Okay, one more size up.Once we’ve found one that can fit over your chest, I’ll shorten whatever needs shortening.”She pulls another shirt from the shelves.
This one I can pull on, and fits pretty well, apart from the length.
“That’s better.”Riley looks at the shelves.“Now the rest of stuff.”
I groan, just as my phone rings.
Erika!
I quickly pick up, glad to have a distraction for a couple of moments.“You didn’t pack an extra set of gear in your size by any chance, did you?”
Erika laughs.“No, I’m sorry.And I’m pretty sure you’re a lot bigger in the chest right now, so it wouldn’t have fitted anyway.Where are you?”
“Training complex, looking for gear that fits me.”I try to turn away from Riley, but she grabs my hips to stop me, before quickly pinning the bottom of the shirt.
“I’ll be right there.I want to see what train wreck you’re getting yourself into.”And with that, she disconnects the call.
What?!
She’s already here?I had no idea anyone had left to pick her up yet.I wanted to pick her up from the airport too.
“Stay still for just a few moments, or I’ll accidentally poke you.”Riley grabs my hips again.“I only need a few seconds.”She turns me a couple of times, making sure that the bottom hem is straight.“Does this seem like the right length?”She looks up at me.
I reach down, pulling on it slightly, then look at how Riley’s shirt fits her.“Should be alright, I guess?”
“Okay.Then put on your normal shirt and we’ll get you the rest of the gear once you’ve greeted Erika.”She grins.“We can’t wait too long, because I’m pretty sure I’m going to have to modify everything.And that’s going to take time.”
I lean over so I can give my sweet Alpha a kiss.“Thank you.I know I’m being all over the place and you’re being very patient with me.Thanks.”
She wraps her arms around me and pulls me close, grinning up at me.“I’m happy to help.Plus, if we don’t get this all done, then I’d also be in trouble, since we’re teamed up.And, if you’re not comfortable in your gear, that’s going to affect both of us.”
She flinches as she lets go of me and I see one of the pins is stuck to her shirt.“Now, swap your shirt, so you can greet Erika without poking holes in her.”
“Right away.”I carefully lift the shirt over my head, making sure none of the pins get stuck in me or the compression bra I’m wearing.
We found a pattern for a home-made compression bra online and decided to try our hands at it.Riley and I are both wearing our home-made compression bras, since they’re actually pretty comfortable and we need to wear them for a bit to make sure that we can properly move and breathe in them.We don’t want to run into trouble during the raid.
There’s a knock at the door.“Can I come in?”Erika sounds amused.
“A moment!”I grab my normal shirt from the nearby table, pull it on, and hop over the piles of discarded pieces of gear on the floor.We’re definitely going to have to clean this place up once we’ve found gear that fits me as best as possible.
I open the door and Erika immediately hugs me.
“It’s so good to see you again.”Her voice is warm.Then she pulls away slightly and looks me up and down.“How are you feeling?”
“I’m good.Come on in.”I pull her inside and close the door behind her.“If I step out, Riley is going to get upset with me because I still need to try on more gear.”
“That’s not what I said.”Riley gets up and gives Erika a hug.“Welcome.I hope everything went well getting here?”
“Yeah, smooth travels.Not much to complain about.”She smiles and then looks to the mess on the floor.“I presume none of these fit?”
