As Camilla was explaining to Ekaterina about how the hospital had tapped her breasts in order to relieve the built up pressure caused by her excessive lactation, Arachne began to squirm in her mother's arms. Ekaterina looked down at her daughter to find that her legs were visibly swelling up and pushing together. Camilla called for the nurse and handed Minerva over to one if them while she her self went over to investigate Arachne.
In those few seconds, Arachne's legs had fused together into a bloated oval shaped mass, which was rapidly turning hard and black. However even with this happening, Arachne was contently sleeping as if nothing was going on at all.
Next her black mass of what was formerly her legs gained 8 protruding nubs along its perimeter, which were quicklu lengthening into thin stick-like shapes, each with a bend around halfway down that angle their tips towards the front. They finally curled up flat against the mass.
Ekaterina and Camilla were so distracted by their daughter's changing legs, that they didn't her face had gained a few more eyes, totaling 8. 2 more rows above and another eye about an inch to either side of her origional pair. Her hands had also darkened, turning a similar black to the mass. The discoloration on her hands went up her arms until just before her arms reached her shoulders.
When Camilla saw that, something clicked in her mind and she ran out of the room to her office. She returned about 2 minutes later with an odd device, which she pressed against Arachne's chest lightly. The display lit up with a blue color, which caused Camilla to sigh in relief and immediatly sent the nurses away, while calling for 2 of her assistants. Minerva was also returned to the room as well, and was handed back to Ekaterina, who was nearly panicking, but Camilla reassured her nothing was wrong, and it was actually an interesting development.
When the 2 assistants showed up, Camilla darkened the windows and shut all of the vents in order to prevent anyone from overhearing. "Ok, everyone. This is Ekaterina, she is my fiancee and these are her daughters. Specifically this baby girl here" she said as she motioned to Arachne, who was sleeping soundly in her arms. "What is wrong with her?" Ekaterina asked.
"Nothing. She is perfectly fine. However, she has been born with our nano machines inside her body. All they have done is simply reshaped her body. That being said, this is where things get complicated. The nano machines, no longer being in Ekaterina's body, have lost contact with the control unit, and no longer function. They will be degraded by the body in a few hours, without causing her any harm, but at least at the moment, this new form isn't reversible."
"But you CAN do it, right?" Begged Ekaterina.
"Of course. We simply need to wait foe her body to adjust, and then inject her with a new round of nano machines. But that is the complication. The earliest we could do this procedure safely, would be when she is about 4-5 years old. Meaning Arachne will unfortunately have to spend 4-5 years as an actual Arachne, or a half spider half human hybrid, but still super adorable little creature."
"And what about Minerva?"
"Her as well, but until we find what triggered Arachne's change, who knows if she will change, or into what. At the moment, I only can assume that somehow her name influenced Arachne's change. I do not know if the same will happen for Minerva. But the good news is that they both, and also you, should be extremely healthy."
"Make me one too."
"What was that?" Asked Camilla, not sure she heard what Ekaterina just said correctly.
"I said make me an Arachne too. If my baby has to live as one, I want to be with her too. You will be there for Minerva too, but Arachne is alone in this. So I want to be there with her too. Our contract can begin in 5 years right? So for the next 5 years, I wish to be an arachne like my daughter."
"Understood, I will have you both prep the lab for us ok, we will do the procedure tonight." Camilla orders from her assistants.
"Who knew my future wife and daughters were such adorable troublemakers" thought Camilla to herself, still as she stroked Minerva's head.
