Nicole zaps up to normal size with a 6-month ba... Family's New Shrink Ray chapter 53 by copier · original author: jurto2

As Nicole grew back to her normal size, save for her giant, 6-month-pregnant-looking belly, she continued rocking back and forth in pain.

Steve rushed over and helped her up to her feet, giving her the biggest hug. "Okay, sweetie, breathe. Here, come sit on a chair," he said, leading her over to an empty chair nearby. He pulled a water bottle from the minifridge in the attached breakroom and brought it over to her, opening it.

Nicole caught her breath and inspected her new stretch marks before realizing she had her nightgown raised in front of her dad, and rushed to at least try to cover herself again, but failed horribly, only managing to stretch it over the baby bump.

Steve pulled his chair up beside her and they sat face-to-face, noting the enormity of the baby bump that she hadn't had earlier this evening. He rubbed the bridge of his nose with a deep exhale.

"Okay, so start from the start. What happened," Steve asked.
Nicole, now having had time to decompress from being caught like a deer in the headlights and no longer suffering from the excruciating pain, was finally able to catch her breath.

She started with what happened with Melanie and Jason, which Steve already knew from when Nikki had stolen the shrink ray, but he didn't stop her train of thought.

She continued with the information that he hadn't had before, though: that Lisa had actually discovered twins inside of her when she attempted her rescue trip and had reported 'finding nothing'. Steve's mind was a bit numb from the 'pregnant' word, but tried his best to focus through it to understand Nikki's situation.

Nicole told him about how she was starting to show, even though it only looked like she was getting fat. Steve wanted to stop and ask questions, but realized that if he interrupted, he might never get her back on this line of questioning. He made a mental note to ask her later why she hadn't thought to tell her parents about this development.

She continued with Lisa's plan to shrink the ever-growing fetuses so no one would notice she was pregnant. Steve wanted to rub his temples in pain at that moment because he now knew exactly what had happened... The placenta is an organ where the mother's blood exchanges nutrients and oxygen with the baby's blood. The connection of an organ like that meant to the shrink ray that it was the same target as far as the ray was concerned, and it would all shrink together. He didn't understand why the failsafe didn't work, but added that to his mental to-do list for later; it wasn't important right now.

"Okay, sweetie," Steve tried to simplify it for himself and get confirmation of the situation, "So Lisa is in your... uterus, and she's got the shrink ray with her?" Nicole nodded, with a hint of the pale deer-in-the-headlights look she had earlier, expecting to soon be grounded for life. She started to shake but Steve put his hand on her shoulder and looked her straight in the eyes, saying "It's going to be okay, sweetie". He walked beside the door and pulled out a spare labcoat and handed it to Nicole. It was way too large for her and looked like, ironically, a maternity dress, save for the coat arms that went way past her hands. She stifled a giggle as she held up her dangly coat arms and waved them around, the cuffs flopping left and right. "That should keep you warm for now, okay Nikki? Let me know if you're still cold," Steve said, as the massive shrink ray and its supporting equipment needed a decent amount of cooling, so the lab tended to be on the cool side.

Steve sat down to draw a few notes and diagrams on a notepad, and went to sit back over by Nicole. "Okay, so she's probably so big in your belly now that she can't reach the shrink ray. The best way to rescue Lisa and the shrink ray would be..."
