Erika opened her legs more to inspect the thing closer. Her girly button looked bigger than when she got out of the shower, with the hood still shaped a bit like a small doggy sheath. The bud was a dark pink and swollen, extending forward. She attempted to press it inwards, but it sprang back, eliciting a warm feeling. The short fuzzy fur covering her groin had also grown thicker; it was a shade paler than her long, light brown hair.
Suddendly she heard a car in the driveway. Her mom was coming home!
Quickly she jumped from the chair and pulled down her nightdress. She turned the TV off and finished jotting down the answers to her science homeworks just in time as her mother was entering the living room.
"I'm home pumpkin!" she said as she was removing her coat. "How was your day? Did you finish your homeworks?"
"Yes mom! I'm not a little kid anymore, I can be on my own!" Erika replied, a bit flushed. She was unconsciously tugging down on her nightgown, which felt tight on the subtle curves she had developped from the salve. Max was wagging his tail and whining excitedly beside her, welcoming the family member in typical canine fashion.
"I'm sorry honey, I know that." Her mother paused to look at her. "It's true that I haven't paid attention at how much you've grown! You're becoming a woman now. I'm sorry I have to work hard all the time. Your father also is. I don't expect him to return before very late tonight, and we'll both be off to work by the time you catch the school bus tomorrow. But we're here for you, sweety."
"I know mom..." Erika said embarassingly as her mother's look had lingered on her small breasts. They too felt more swollen than right after her shower... Were they growing back? Max was waggling his tail joyfully and shoved his muzzle against Erika's legs and groin, almost lifting the fabric. Underneath the nightgown, she felt the strange bud stir lightly in response.
"Anyway, I'll get back to my room and prepare for bed now!" she said hurriedly as she turned around and packed her homeworks, blushing.
"Sure, sweat pea. Remember, your dad won't be around this weekend as he has a business trip, and I'll be working harder at the store to take care of things in his absence so you won't see me much. You can ask a friend to come over for sleeping if you don't want to be alone, and just call the neighbour if you need anything, okay?"
"Yes mom! I'll be alright!" the young teen replied as she was storming out of the living room with the husky on her heels. Her groin was feeling all puffy and weird, and Max's pushy nose along the way was not helping her. Was he smelling something different on her?
She locked him outside the bathroom to brush her teeth in peace, and had to push him out of her bedroom's as he wouldn't budge. "Sorry buddy!" Erika shighed as he was making the saddest puppy eyes. She pet Max's head affectionately and scratched his ears, and he let out a whine before shoving his head against her thighs and groin again. He stuck his muzzle between her legs, pulling on the nightgown and making her swollen nub hard and visible through the fabric.
"Max..." she whimpered.
