She decided to take a picture of her boyfriend, Rick. If he wasn't going to say what he and her mother were talking about then Olivia might as well have some fun with him. "He'll just love a silly version of his face through this old camera! That is, if it works this time." Olivia thought.
Over by the table, Rick was making sure to do an excellent job cleaning up the table. He really needed to get Mrs. Smith's good side fast. Not only because he was dating her daughter, Olivia, but he also really felt something needed to be done about the camera. Rick felt that they couldn't just leave a reality altering device just lying around. "Even if it was hidden, some idiot could get a hold of it." Rick thought. "We should use it for good before we lose it or it gets used in a way we didn't intend for."
On the other side of the table, Emily Smith was watching her daughter's boyfriend closely. She figured he was planning on stealing the camera, an action that she couldn't allow. Of course, Olivia would be heartbroken if she just kicked Rick out, so Emily needed a good reason to banish this good for nothing. Emily still knew nothing of the changes that have already occurred. She could never even begin to think her daughter was her former mother. Nor could she imagine ever dating that "annoyance."
Olivia aimed the camera, out of eyeshot, and lined it up with Rick. Rick turned to see this but he had no time to react. He wanted to scream stop or alert Emily but it was no use, the picture had been taken. Olivia looked at the photo that developed and thought it was a great, albeit normal picture. She got a great shot of her pregnant mother.
"I guess this camera isn't a face changing thing? Then what's up with all these weird options then?" Olivia thought as she looked over the camera. As she fiddled, she began messing with the only ones who could potentially fix everything. She turned Emily and Rick's awareness of the device off.
A few seconds earlier, Emily had been petting her pregnant belly. She could't wait to see if it was a girl or a boy. She felt that if it was a boy, he would be Rick, while if it was a girl, she would be Rachael. Doing any sort of labor was difficult however and she soon stopped setting the table to ask her daughter for help. That's when she saw her daughter flick a switch on the device.
Emily was confused. She felt like she was about to yell about something but soon forgot. She then asked Olivia to put down the camera and come help her. Olivia left the camera on the sofa and went to help her mother.
