Rick decided going in through the side gate would be a stupid idea. He had no idea how they could react. He could accidentally get himself transformed, or worse, thrown in jail and never able to get near the camera again. He had to play this extremely carefully. He thought about it for another minute and decided his only really option was to knock and somehow claim the camera was his. He jogged to the front door and rung the doorbell. While he waited, he practiced his best innocent face, but was still nervous about how this could go down.
The door opened, and Rick saw Jacki in her lovely dress open the front door. Rick never told Emily this since Jacki was basically an Aunt to her but Rick thought Jacki was extremely hot. Her curly blond hair framed her head perfectly while her magnificent breasts sat there in all their glory. Ironically, Rick had no idea Emily was actually wrapped around those, but he still stared nonetheless.
Rick suddenly realized he hadn't said anything and was about to quickly make up a lie when Jacki suddenly put out her arms and gave Rick a massive hug.
"Rick it's so good to see you!" Jacki yelled as she squeezed him tight."
Rick was in total shock. He had not expected her to remember him. After the shock wore off he tried to piece it together but couldn't think of anything. He decided it really didn't matter so he just played along.
"Oh, uh, hi. It's good to see you too!" He said with a confused smile.
Jacki asked him to come in and the two began to chat. Jacki made him some tea and Rick accepted gratefully since this whole endeavor had stressed him out. As the two talked, Rick slowly managed to learn how she still knew him. Apparently, Jacki used to babysit him. This struck Rick as odd since it was Emily who she babysat. Rick just waved it off as some reality changing nonsense and decided his priority should be figuring out what happened to Emily.
Suddenly, the back door slid open and a wet Laura walked in wrapped in a towel, still obviously bulging from her pregnant belly.
"Jacki! I thought you were gonna take some pic- Oh, hi there Rick! What brings you here?" She asked kindly.
"Hi, well actually, it's funny you mention pictures, since I'm here looking for an old family... heirloom. Yeah, it's an old camera." Rick lied.
"Oh I was wondering whose that was!" Jacki laughed. "You know we just found it lying around and I figured someone must have left it. Hope you don't mind but we were gonna take some pictures with it if that's alright?" She asked.
Rick was about to scream no when he realized he needed them to be unaware of any reality altering danger. He then came up with an idea that had to work.
"Yeah that's great! Hey, you know what, why don't I take some for you?" He offered.
"You don't have to do that sweetie." Laura said touched.
"Trust me, I want to do it." Rick said earnestly. "Besides, it's not like I have anything else to do today." He joked.
Jacki and Laura thanked him again before Jacki quickly remembered something.
"Hey you know what, I'll put on my bikini too!" She said excited.
Rick and Laura agreed as Jacki ran upstairs. Of course, unknown to all, Emily was mentally screaming. She had heard everything. The entire time she wanted to scream to Rick that she was right there but it was no use. As Jacki shuffled upstairs, Emily was thrown all about as she bounced with each step. She wanted to run but she couldn't. Jacki quickly took off her dress and hung it up. She slid off her panties and Emily, then threw both into her hamper. Emily could only watch in the dirty bin as Jacki redressed in a bikini and headed downstairs.
Rick, meanwhile, was quickly trying to guess what Emily had transformed into. He had already guessed that Jacki wasn't Emily as he had memories of both Emily and Jacki interacting. Of course, judging by the photos in Emily's old room, Jacki had been transformed, but it wasn't something Rick was too concerned about. In his mind that left 4 option. Emily could be the deflated pool toy, the dog, the unborn fetus, or something else and she changed here.
Rick didn't want to consider the option that she was something else and decided to focus on the other three options. Laura walked out behind him as she rubbed her stomach. He then saw their dog Rufus walk up next to Laura and look at Rick puzzled. Turning his head, he saw the deflated pool toy and noticed its human like color. As he saw Jacki heading outside, Rick knew he had to take a guess as he...
