** Six Months Ago **
Steve knew the moment he told his kids about the shrink ray that, for at least some of them, it would be less of a warning AGAINST using it and more of a temptation TO use it. He was working on numerous projects with similarly-groundbreaking properties at work and odds are that they would come across them eventually, either accidentally or otherwise. They were going to have to learn the hard way to be responsible with such power if they weren't going to heed his warnings.
Steve was at least impressed after he tracked the shrink ray when it went missing the first night; after a tiny ▶︎ bit of embarassment when he contacted Melanie's parents. Mel's parents had to have a "talk" with Mel about what she knew of the shrink ray and of Nikki's location. Her parents weren't mad; they both agreed that there were worse things for a couple of kids to be doing with a shrink ray.
After giving Melanie a stethoscope and his phone number, he told her to call him if Nicole was getting too frustrated or needy.
** A month later **
After checking on Nicole daily, Mel kept herself amused with the fact that she could feel Nikki working out at night, doing her gymnastics routines deep within her abdomen. She felt bad, though, that her body was not giving Nicole up; having her friend so close yet so far was almost painful.
Mel thought of Nicole every time she went for gymnastics practice. Her routine wasn't too far off of what Nikki's was; she wondered if Nicole could tell what moves she was doing and whether she was comfortable... Mel's mind would always wander after practice like that.
Some point in the first month, Steve dropped off a replacement phone for Nicole. Hers was getting old and tattered anyways and was undoubtedly fried by this point.
** Present Day **
Steve raised his head from his bed, squinting at blast of notification light that cut through the darkness of their master bedroom. Someone was fiddling with the shrink ray again. He rolled his eyes with a bit of a smirk. He already knew that Melanie wouldn't be playing with it, not after he met with her and her parents. His daughter just couldn't keep her curiosity to herself, could she?
He would go visit Melanie's parents again in the morning, but for now, it was definitely back to sleep. He smushed his face back into his pillow and was asleep almost instantly.
Was Nicole actually using the shrink ray after all that?
