Steve should have expected the outcome; it WAS his design, after all. To the lay person, it would sound something like 'refracting the ray in another ray causes unexpected results', but there was no one there to explain to, only himself and Nicole.
Nicole found herself laying on the ground in pain, but now with less of a belly. The collagen and elastin caused her belly to shrink into its normal, taut shape, now looking 3 months pregnant again, barely showing a bump that could easily be mistaken as some belly fat. She looked just as she did that evening before Lisa tried to help.
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 cover herself again with a blush.
Steve pulled his chair up beside her and they sat face-to-face, noting the obvious lack of the baby bump she had before. His mind was puzzling as to what could cause it before realizing that if Lisa did, in fact, have the portable shrink ray inside of her, it could have re-focused or inverted the ray back onto Lisa. He hoped that Lisa hadn't taken a full shot, as he had to grow Nicole up a whole lot, so the potential was that Lisa shrank just as much. 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, forming her hands around an oval area of her belly that was more pronounced than it used to be. 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 simplified for his daughter, "so it looks like when I used the big shrink ray on you, the portable shrink ray that Lisa had with her used some of that energy to made her shrink, that's why you look normal right now."
"So Lisa's okay?" Nicole asked, hopefuilly.
"Well, yes sweetie, I hope so, but she could be VERY small inside of you right now," Steve answered.
Nicole frowned and asked, "Does her shrink ray still work, though? Can she fix it herself?"
