The Long Journey Home Family's New Shrink Ray chapter 9 by copier · original author: penslayer5

The lab cleanup didn't take too long at all with two people to help divide up the work. He and Cindy got the place looking presentable enough, but he was going to have to order some new equipment to replace what got caught in the crossfire of their passionate love making.

Fortunately, he was able to shrink Cindy back to normal with the portable shrink ray, but little did he know this was only a temporary fix for what the bigger prototype had done to his little red-haired guineapig. At least she was small enough to fit into a lab coat now.

With the test done for the day and new equipment needing to be ordered, Steve decided it was time for he and Cindy to go their separate ways. Cindy looked a little disappointed but understood that the experiment was over. Before she left however, she felt bold and planted a surprise kiss on the man's lips before finally bidding him farewell.

This kiss itself felt nice, really nice, and that only added to the guilt that was piling onto the man's shoulders. Steve Jordan was a complete mess and needed to distract himself for a little while. He found his laptop and ordered the necessary equipment for the lab.

With that done he made the decision to take off early and headed out to his car. He didn't feel like going home and instead just took a drive around town, visiting the various spots that he liked. He even wasted time at the arcade even though he wasn't much of a hardcore gamer.

His last stop before he went home was a small burger joint that opened up not too long ago in town. He'd been meaning to go there for a while but just never found the time. The wait wasn't too long the actual food wasn't half bad. The milkshake however was simply divine and perfect for dipping his fries in.

By the time he finished running around and avoiding his problems it was nightfall. As he got back in his car, he took a moment to check his phone and see all the messages he'd purposefully ignored. Some were from the kids, some were from his wife, one was from... "Cindy."

He didn't know how she got his number but the picture she sent was. His eyes widened and he could hear his heart pumping in his ears. He quickly threw his phone into the glove compartment and took the long way home. As he drove just a little under the speed limit, he pondered what on earth he was going to tell his wife.

Debbie had been his partner all his life and he'd always been hers. The love they had was real and he felt so blessed to have someone like her in his life. Someone who he could trust. Why? Why couldn't he keep his emotions in check? Why did he flush all those years of trust down the drain just so he could go on over to Pound-Town with Cindy?

Before too long his house came into view and the longer his gaze lingered, the more horrible he felt. Nature must've felt like mimicking his turmoil because all of a sudden it started raining and there was a crackle of lightning followed by a boom of thunder.

As he pulled into the driveway his breathing grew heavier and heavier. He couldn't just walk in there and pretend like nothing happened, could he? He couldn't just look Debbie in the eyes and act like everything was all well and good. He had to tell her, didn't he? She deserved to know that her husband was an unfaithful piece of...

His thought was interrupted by the thunder. He shut the car off and took a few deep breaths. He could do this. He could do this. He just had to walk and tell Debbie the truth. No matter how much it might hurt. Debbie had been nothing but faithful to him over the years and he owed her that much. "I can do this."

Steve stepped out of the car into his home. The first thing he noticed was the fact that there was no one on the middle floor and he didn't hear Derek, Lis, or Nicole. He didn't even hear Debbie either.

"Hello?" Steve called. Was no one home. It was then he caught a strong whiff of something coming from upstairs. Something sweet like cinnamon or ginger. Steves eyes widened as he thought about the lab. No! Not ginger. Anything other than ginger. Slowly kicked off his shoes and followed the scent upstairs.

That's when he heard the sound of music coming from the master bedroom. Confused he walked towards the dim room where the door was cracked.

"Debbie?" His was suddenly shocked to find the room illuminated by candlelight with the sound of music coming from his wife's phone. Seated on the bed resting comfortable was his wife with a seductive grin on her face.

"Welcome home." She purred. From his position Steve could see she was dressed in that silk robe she bought a few years ago and her best Victoria's Secret underwear. This had to be some kind of cruel sick punishment for what he did earlier.

"Where are the kids." He asked nervously. Apparently, Derek was spending the night at his friend Johnny's, Lisa was spending the night at Linda's, and Nicole, Bianca, and Patty were having a sleepover. They were all alone, just the two of them.

Steve now knew it to be certain. This was Karma. "Oh."

Debbie sat up on the bed and took seat, leaving an open space just for him. She beckoned him forth and he gulped nervously because of what he was about to do. "Why don't you take a seat handsome and let me take care of you."

Steve almost whimpered as he took a seat on the bed and felt his wife's warm hands rubbing against his back before finding their way to his sore shoulders.

"So..." Debbie whispered in his ear. "How was your day?"
