"Let's go now!" Jessie said excitedly. Linda looked at Emily.
"Are you okay with that, Emily?" She asked, and received a mute nod in return. "Great, let's get going then."
She lead the way out to the car and unlocked it, and Jessie climbed into her car seat before being strapped in by Linda. She then got the spare car seat out the boot for Emily and put it in the car, letting the six year old get into the seat. Or rather, try to get into the seat; Emily was a plump girl, fat clinging to her hips and midsection from years of large meals, and the arm-rests on the seat were just too narrow to allow her to slip her wide rear onto the seat. The moment she realized, Emily went red as a fire hydrant and began squirming in a desperate attempt to squeeze into the seat.
"It's okay, dear, that's our old one, I can-" Linda started, but stopped as suddenly something gave, letting Emily fall with a thump into the seat. "Ah. Erm, are you okay there?"
The chubby girl nodded vigorously, eyes down turned, still bright red.
"If you're sure..." Linda reached into the car and began strapping the young girl into place. However, she soon reached another issue. "Er, Emily? Could you, ah, please suck in your stomach for a moment?" Linda had two clips in hand, but although she strained and pulled, they were a good three inches away from connecting over the child's swollen midsection.
Somehow turning an even deeper shade of crimson, she obliged, allowing Jessie's mom to snap the clip into place with a puff of exertion. When Emily let her breath out, the clip visibly strained, but it held.
"Well, there we go then." Said Linda, forcing a smile. "Let's set off." She felt truly sorry for her daughter's friend; it must be horrible being so large at such a young age. What made it worse is that she'd watched the process happen over the last few years, the child going from average baby to chubby toddler, before being fed into her corpulent state of today by her overbearing mother.
Thank goodness nothing like that could happen to her daughter!
