Derek heard a commotion through their shared bedroom wall and came knocking. "You okay, Nikki?"
Nicole's eyes widened. She was in pain, but she heard the last option for help before their parents got involved. She groaned back with a simple "No," and rolled further onto her side, arms around her giant baby bump that looked like she was 9 months pregnant and ready to pop.
Derek opened the door and peeked in, seeing the giant lump under Nicole's covers. "Uhh," he said, his eyes wide, trying to figure out what could be taking up that much space.
Nicole just made the 'shhh' sign with her finger over her mouth and he came in, closing her door.
Derek snuck over and crouched by her pillow. "What's wrong? Are you, uh, sick?" Derek tried to casually avoid the proverbial elephant in the room, or elephant under the covers, so to speak.
Nicole looked Derek in the eyes and shook her head. All he could make out from her mumbling was something something "Lisa", something "Shrink ray".
"Shrink ray?" he whispered back, continuing, "Want me to get dad?"
Nicole's eyes wide and her face flushed white. "NO," she mouthed silently.
Derek cringed and his heart sank. He knew that Lisa or Nicole had done something they weren't supposed to, and something was horribly wrong, but if Lisa was on the case, he was sure his nerdy sister would have some kind of solution.
"Where... is Lisa?" Derek whispered, almost afraid to know the answer.
Nicole blushed and replied simply, "she's... nearby,"
That's what Derek thought. "Is she, uh, okay?" He asked. Nicole stared off into the distance, feeling for any movement. At that moment, a bit of hope filled her as she did, in fact, feel Lisa making her escape. She nodded to Derek in an affirmative response. "Just... give me a minute," Nicole said sheepishly before ducking under the covers.
Unfortunately, she couldn't actually REACH Lisa around the basketball-sized growth in her abdomen, she was going to have to make her way back up to her hands or her pillow by herself. Nicole gave up on that assisted rescue mission and popped her head out of the covers again, waiting for Lisa.
After a few minutes of waiting, Nicole was pleasantly relieved to see Lisa appear from under the covers, still tiny.
Lisa, however, was not expecting to see Derek and nearly fell over from the surprise. "Ack!" she yelled, as far as her tiny voice could travel, which wasn't really far at all.
"Uh, hey sis," Derek waved to his little big sister. "I was just giving Nikki some company. She's... sick?"
Lisa looked back to Nicole and her covers, then back to Derek with her face in her palm. "Uhh, sort of? Not really though." She presented the tiny, broken shrink ray to Derek for his inspection, though.
"Oh. Shit," Derek whispered He knew the duo were most definitely up a proverbial creek without a paddle.
He may not know what's going on, and they may be keeping secrets, but surely he could help somehow.
