Paul blinked, and from what he could see he noticed the figures of everyone looked different, but he quickly realized he was on the floor. Emily had dropped him on the floor, so now even though he was human again, he was still lying flatly there. His limited vision became obscured as blonde strands of hair began to block his view. "Wait, please don't tell em I'm a little girl again." He thought as he slowly pushed off the ground.
He sat onto his knees and looked down, half expecting to see a little dress again, but was shocked by what he actually saw. Tits. Two, massive boobs were staring back at him, pushed up slightly by a tight blouse he was now wearing. He wan't a little girl, but a grown woman! "Why do I keep getting female changes?!" Paul thought frustrated.
He stood up, nearly tumbling back down thanks to his new center of gravity. He gave his new members a squeeze, and felt a little shiver down his spine. "Right, focus, none of that then." He thought with a blush. He looked up, and then around to see someone else looking into the hand mirror. It looked like a man of about thirty, but his face was obscured.
"Hey?" Paul asked.
The mirror went down to reveal a much older Rick, looking moderately surprised at Paul.
"O-oh, hey sorry. I just couldn't get over how great I look now." He chuckled. "Man will I make a good looking guy... and I'm just happy to be a dude again- um, no offense sir." He awkwardly smiled.
"Mmhmm." Paul grunted. He glanced at the hand mirror and was stunned at the attractive young woman staring back at him. He averted his gaze, trying not to care. "So, where's Emily and my wife?" He asked.
"Oh, um, well I just cleared my head and grabbed the mirror first thing so... I don't know?" He replied.
"Bwaa!" A little voice rang behind them. They walked to the end of the room to find a little cot with a one year old baby boy inside. He was staring up with tears in his eyes, clearly frustrated with the change.
"Oh dear, Emily?" Paul asked.
Emily managed a nod, though it was much harder than she expected with a baby's bodily mobility.
"Okay, so... where's Olivia?" Paul asked.
Paul and Rick looked around the room, trying to see if they missed another cot or something. For a moment, Paul was worried that she had been turned into an object, but the truth was only moderately better. Rick whistled, and Paul turned to see Rick pointing at a tiny fish bowl. Inside it was a little black fish, with the same scale color as Olivia's hair. It was swimming around frantically, and Paul could tell that she was pissed.
"Oh god damn." Paul muttered. "I need to stop complaining about female transformations." He internally noted. "Olivia, honey? Please stay calm we'll change you back in just a second!" Paul reassured her, which only little bubbles were made as a response.
Paul began to move for the camera, but a tug stopped him in place. He looked back and found Rick holding onto Paul's much fairer and dainty wrist. Paul tried to just keep moving out of surprise, but found his strength much inferior to Rick's.
"Hold it." Rick said sternly. "I think I should be the one to work the camera."
"Excuse me?" Paul tried to say with authority, but he only came off sounding like a bitchy Karen asking for the manager.
"You heard me. Look sir, I respect you and all, but what you did a minute ago was not cool." Rick explained. "She was trying to tell you the exact same thing, to calm down, and if you just listened you'd already be this and all of use wouldn't have been thrown for this loop."
"So I panicked a little, big whoop! I'm sure you would have freaked out just as much if you were suddenly a cat." She scolded.
"Maybe I would, but that doesn't matter." He said seriously. "If we're all gonna be the guardians of this camera and turn back to normal, then there has to be safety with this thing and a level head. And if we mess with it or screw up, I think there should be restrictions... sir." Rick ended meekly, remembering his future with Emily depended on his authority.
"I can't believe this... Emily, are you hearing this?" He asked, partially rhetorically, as he looked down at the baby. However, to his surprise, Emily was sitting up, sucking away on a binky, but still looking serious. Paul turned, somewhat surprised to see Olivia the fish staring still and intently at Paul. "Wait, do you two agree with him?" Paul asked.
The two simply nodded and Paul's eyes started to tear up as his body's new hormones started to affect him.
"I... I'm so sorry I didn't mean to change you... I just panicked is all. B-but do you really think I can't use the camera at all?!" HE asked Olivia, who just stared at her husband, annoyed that she couldn't respond herself.
"Look I'm sure they don't think that." Rick said calmly. "We don't even have to discuss this right now. All I'm saying is that I'll handle it now and we can all discuss it later." He said, picking up the camera and letting go of Paul.
Paul was upset, which was odd as he usually got angry. He hadn't felt like this in forever. "Dammit, stupid estrogen." He thought with a flick of one of his boobs. He felt the empty space where his dick should've been, and wondered if Rick had a point. His family was also going through the same struggle after all.
As Rick held the camera aloft....
