Angela was able to wangle an appointment with the family doctor the next afternoon. Blood tests were taken but otherwise Jessie was declared healthy. The doctor assured Angela that sudden growth spurts were not totally unheard of. He did say that he could get drugs to stop growth if it became excessive, but that at the moment Jessie seemed only too happy to be growing taller and he didn’t think there was a need to intervene.
On the way home the Angela stopped to buy Jessie new clothes that better fitted her tall skinny body.
Over the next few days Jessie continued to grow herself. By now Jack and Aaron had also noticed the changes in their sister. Jack was a little concerned that he might lose his bet but that was no great concern, he was only happy that he had not actually bet money.What was the worst thing that Jessie could make him wear?
Jessie went with Brendan and Aaron to Jack's basketball game that week. While there she ran into her old coach who immediately noticed her change in height. She was invited to rejoin the team and readily accepted.
Jessie continued to grow herself. By the time Jack's birthday came around she had unrolled the jeans and the top fully. She measured herself as 5'9 and was confident that her arms were in proportion. She was happy with her new body. She was also happy to be playing basketball again. Being close to 5 inches taller than previously certainly aided her game. She was also happy that she would win her bet with Jack. She had been thinking quite a bit about what she would get him to wear.
