Jacki wiped Rufus' drool off of the camera. She scrutinized it a moment, as if to make sure the dog hadn't damaged it. Laura looked over confused, as she had never seen that camera around before. She gently got up from her seat and strode over towards Jacki. Jacki turned to see her sister walking and immediately rushed over to help her.
"Now sis, you know that ain't healthy for ya." Jacki scolded. "You're just about ready to pop."
"Come on Jacqueline, you don't have to baby me." Laura complained as Jacki helped he sit back down. "That's gonna be my job soon." She happily joked as she rubbed her stomach.
Jacki and Laura continued to laugh and chat as Emily sat frustrated. She tried to look for a way out but there was no way.. She was too small now and a drop from this hight would seriously hurt. Even if she could get out, she couldn't walk so it's not like it would do anything anyway. Emily figured her best shot was to try and grab her "mother's" attention.
Jacki turned to see her adopted baby girl bouncing in her high chair. She giggled as she thought it was adorable. She wished she had her phone on her so she could take a video. She glanced down past her breasts and laughed because she realized she at least had a camera. She raised it up and said "Say cheese baby girl!" before taking a photo of the young Emily.
Emily braced for impact as the wave of vertigo hit for a second time. She opened them and suddenly found herself out of the high chair. She looked around and found she was somewhere else in the house. It was a little girl's room painted bright pink. It was super messy with dolls and dresses scattered all about. She looked down to see herself wearing a yellow dress with mary janes on her feet.
She walked around for a minute before she found a playhouse mirror and gasped at her reflection. What she saw was a cute little girl that looked a little bit like her when she was a kid, no older than 4. Oddly enough, this time her face was slightly different and her hair was a different texture and bright blonde. She quietly opened the door to her room and listened for her "mom" and "aunt." Sure enough she heard them still unaware of the changes to reality, but the conversation had clearly changed.
"...and are you ever going to tell your daughter who her father is?" Laura asked sternly.
"Absolutely not!" She heard Jacki whisper but scream. "I'm certainly not gonna explain to her why she never met her daddy especially since he's right next door. I mean, what if Olivia heard Emily talk about it." She said concerned.
This sort of talk would have went over a toddler's head but Emily still had a college student's intelligence. "So dad is my dad again, but now reality changed so that he cheated on mom with mo- I mean Jacki- I mean, oh whatever." She thought. All these changes to reality were starting to get confusing. She just needed to get the camera and everything would be much easier.
She carefully walked down the large steps, at least large for her small body, and walked up to the two women. They began to awkwardly smile at her as if they had been caught doing something illegal. Laura and Jacki glanced at each other before Jacki decided to ask what was on her mind.
"So, uh, honey, did you, hear anything just now? From our conversation that is?" Jacki awkwardly asked.
Of course Emily had figured it out but her best play was to keep things as calm as possible. She put on her best looking confused face, and in an innocent voice asked "What mommy?"
Jacki and Laura both sighed and chuckled as Jacki gave Emily a kiss on the forehead. Emily walked over to the kitchen counter, grabbed a juice box, and hoped up on the chairs Laura was sitting on. The two adults continued talking, although with a new conversation topic, while Emily eyed the camera still in Jacki's hands. She got lucky with this transformation, so she didn't want to risk any more changes then she needed. She just had to wait and play her cards right.
That's when...
