The afternoon sun bakes Beach City, the air in the house thick with the sweet-sour smell of spilled juice and something decaying. Amethyst, noticeably fuller and softer, is hunched over the open refrigerator. Her worn shirt pulls tight across her swollen belly as she tips back a gallon jug of juice, then takes a careless bite of something moldy and dark. She ignores the disapproving glances from Pearl and Garnet, waddling heavily toward the couch—each step makes her body sway and jiggle. She collapses into the cushions with a contented groan, patting her distended stomach with a lazy, mischievous grin, utterly at peace in her new, weighty shape.
