Floating somewhere wet... and warm [AR/AP] Family's New Shrink Ray chapter 77 by copier · original author: jurto2

Derek found himself floating. Not in the air like he was skydiving, but like he was in a pool. He blinked. Definitely a dark pool, he thought. At least it was warm? A heated pool with no lights? Weird.

Lisa's jaw dropped. She knew there could be consequences to a sloppy repair job, but seeing Bethany struggle with a newly-distended abdomen was not one of them. "The poor girl looks like she's 9 months pregnant," thought Lisa as she rushed out to assess the situation, careful not to step on any tiny, shrunken brothers of hers.

She reached out to Bethany, asking, "Are you.. okay?"

On the bright side, Derek was nowhere that Lisa could step on him or otherwise hurt him. On the downside, her brother was now floating inside his girlfriend.

Bethany got her balance and looked around. Everything looked fine? She tried to stand up. 'Ooof. Nope. What in the world?' she thought, looking down. She had a dream last night about having a big belly after what the two of them did yesterday, but this was not exactly what she had in mind, nor how soon.

As Lisa approached, she tentatively reached her hand out towards the bulging belly as if to ask Bethany's permission. Beth pulled her shirt up, exposing her taut baby bump. Again with an uncomfortable closeness as she had done earlier today, she spoke loudly to the belly, trying to understand what happened. "Derek?" she yelled.

Bethany gasped and grabbed her belly reflexively as she felt a kick. Then another. Lisa's face went white. What had she done? And... where was the ray-formerly-known-as-shrink?

Author's Note on Choices ▼
Okay, so we've got some interesting branches from here. We've got options below for:
1: Simple age change: Shrink/Grow becomes Younger/Older. Derek simply made himself too young and he ended up in the nearest capable host. The girls have the ray and they can use it for whatever they want

2: Like #1, Derek's stuck in a tough but safe place for now, but the ray is broken.

3: Derek still has the shrink ray with him: Like #1, but by the same means that the shrink ray used to shrink with its owner if it was being held, it also unages with its owner. Perhaps a lucky kick, nudge or other method would activate it again to grow him back to his normal age. Is Derek the only one in there, though?

4: Reality-altering: Like #1, but now Derek is literally Bethany's child. The bag was never taken from its spot, his phone number is now someone else's, his room at home is a spare bedroom, and there's no seat for him at the table. His memory exists in proximity to the ray itself but it's fading... This option has a lot more dire consequences if not fixed promptly.
